2) What is a good Kubota for small orchards?
sc - any of the Grande Ls (L3010 - L4310)
3i assume wheel base is of some importance, as well as turning ability on a grade.
sc - Yes
3) Lots of talk about 4310 but little on M4700, which is pitched by Kubota as best all around small ag/orchard/landscaping tractor.
sc L4310 , user friendly -- designed for various utility task as well as a good performer in the ag sector.
Is this a new model?
sc - "the Grande L family of tractors started in '93/'94
The L4310 replaced it's twin brother L4200 in '99
Is there any reason other than price to avoid low M series and go with high end L series?
sc - trans.(HST,DT,GST) options, user friendliness, on/off made easier for us old folks, cab options, tight turns, hands free operation for ORCHARD SPRAYING with WAND duties, inexperienced operators training and safety, hauling advantages, more hp in smaller package.
M4700 looks more like a farm tractor to me,
sc -- you got it
and is not that much bigger in size or wheelbase.
sc -- "that much," sometimes an inch may as well be a mile. It will either fit your tightest dimension or it will not. You should try to plan ahead to avoid "expensive surprises."
Anyway some have said that I could just get L2350 for $8500 used and its fine, but implements seem to be quite restricted as to their ability, and I will be doing things around the farm, and it seems like if one is going to have a loader it should be able to load some heavy stuff.
sc -- If you "buy right and at good value" and error in size/model selection you can trade without taking a "hit". The key is good planning and buying a good value. Avoid purchasing implements that will not hold thier value or disadvantage you if you have to sell quickly.
It would be nice to have a bale option, but there are so many farmers around here that bale it really doesn't make a huge degree of sense to pay a lot for just this capability.
sc - good thinking
sc - come see us at http://www.carverequipment.com/
Good Luck and happy shopping,
Steve

the KUBOTA dealer say no problem. Where does all the extra weight come from on the NH compared to the KUBOTA. Please help with prices on both with turf tires
and a loader.

Net HP is usable "flywheel" power with the engine installed in the vehicle. Gross Power is sometimes called "bare engine" power. It is often (but not always) the number used in advertising since it is the highest. The test results can be reported with the engine producing "intermittent" power or "continuous" power. Continuous rating is usually about 80% of intermittent. Continuous would be most meaningful for applications like generators. Most tractor applications only require intermittent power. PTO HP is what would be measured by a dynamometer attached to the PTO of the tractor so it reflects power train losses. PTO HP is approximately 85% of Net HP for many tractors. It will be slightly lower with hydrostatic drive due to the power consumed by the pump even with the tractor not moving.
As an example, at the rated engine speed of 3200 RPM, the JD 955 has 35.3 GROSS HP, 33 NET HP, and 27 PTO HP (hydrostatic).
Even though "power is power," when comparing specs of different tractors you have to be careful to use the same basis--gross, net, PTO, intermittent, continuous, etc. The problem is that sometimes the basis of the test is not provided in the information you have available.
I hope this isn't more than you wanted to know. "> Re: Tractor Horsepower
