Congrats Tex, was the price you got for 2WD or 4WD? Also, any dislikes yet?

Thanks

Looking at buying a Kubota M4900 4wd

Hi again,

I just got home from work...thanks for the responses. An M4900 4wd would be sweet but it's definitely a little above my means at the moment. If I got just a cutter for now and bought the loader later maybe. I found a couple of places on the net (deen Implement, Watkins, etc...) that have better prices than here in Fl. It seems TX and TN have some of the best prices. I'm willing to drive, I have a Dodge 3500 with the Cummins Diesel engine that's begging to tow something. Who's got the best deals on Kubotas?

I'd have to bush hog the 13 acres about 8-10 times a year. Only a couple of times in the winter because that's Florida's dry season and a several times in the summer when it's hot and rainy and the grass is growing fast. If I get a half a dozen or so cattle then they can help keep a lot of it down and I'll just have to knock down the weeds and patches they missed but I still a couple of good sized areas that are sometimes wet that bull grass grows. I'd like to be able to rip through the grass (which can get thick) with a 6' cutter if I could.

I researched Deere and I'd have to get a lot less h.p. for the same money. If the prices were the same I'd get a Deere. In fact a friend who has an excavation business warned me if I got a Kubota that parts and repairs were real expensive. He said to get a Deere, a New Holland (Ford) or a Massey.

I even researched Mahindra, the 3rd largets tractor mfg. in the world. Apparently International Harvester worked with them in the beginning to develop tractors. They are supposed to be a lot heavier than the big 3 which would help in traction.

I was also wondering, is HST worth it. I mean, pushing in the clutch and putting it in 3rd...how hard can that be? I wanted to get something my wife could drive but what if she never does anyway?

I was thinking a minimum of 35 P.T.O. h.p. and would love 45 P.T.O. h.p.. Where does that leave me?

Thanks again.
Dave in Florida
