Kubota or Aftermarket Attachments

The only non K implement I have is a pallet fork. I'm just 70 but I believe my wife would have an easier time selling if something happens to me.
Get as much equipment now as you can afford, you'll use it. I have 5+ acres and have FEL, boxblade, mower, & pallet fork. I want a disc harrow & a finish mower to round out my equipment. I might be thinking tiller as we have a hobby vineyard & small orchard but don't really garden.No need for a snowblower here. Next tractor will have a cab with AC

If I were you, I'd forget about doing stumps with a small hoe and contract that out to someone with a real hoe like a Case Extenda-Hoe. You'll beat your hoe to death doing stumps especially if they are large.

I'm with Flip on the backhoe. I think that kubota makes sense for the FEL. The PTO splitter doesn't make sense to me. That size tractor is way more than you need for that and you don't usually save much over one with its own engine. You lose the option of using your FEL and the splitter at the same time. For the field mower I'd go lower end and used. I don't think you'll use it much after you get your place squared away. They mostly all use the same gear boxes anyway. On the tiller I'd spend a little more if you're dealing with heavy clay less if it's sandy loam. With the PHD you can probably spend a little less. You probably won't use it as much once you're squared away.

The other thing to consider is if, should you desire, there are any financing deals that include the implements, KTAC insurance added to Kubota implements and availability and service of those implements.

Another positive for Land Pride attachments is compatibility with a Quick Hitch. Everyone complains about hooking up 3 point implements. Since you are buying new you have the ability to make sure that all implements work with the QH15 from Land Pride. To further enhance ease of hooking up 3 pt items get at least 2 rear remote hydraulics and add a TnT kit. It makes hook up much easier with far less kicking of iron.

Welcome to the forum. I have found this forum a great help.

Like yourself I'm new to this, but besides the forum I'm lucky to have a dad who grew up on the farm. We have been working on getting the property back in shape, 60 acres is shared cropped out and 20 acres are woods/buildings.

I purchased the L3560. So far, it has accomplished everything I needed it to do. I can tell you my dad on his MF 275 can pull through the brush faster than me, but I can still get through the brush.

Now that we have some of the areas open up, the mowing of these areas are quick with the L3560 and 72" rotary mower. The current area we are working on is about 5-6 acres.

I have been able to push over some of the smaller trees that were in our way. Most likely, this fall we will have the neighbor come down and remove a few trees for us with his bulldozer. The trees could be dug out, but it is just easier, quicker, and safer to have him come push them over with his dozer when we are ready.

I purchased my tractor with the loader, rotary mower, and the QH. This is going to keep me busy for a long time. The loader I can push trees out of the way and load up cut up sections and move them. I would eventually like to add three things to the tractor. A third function valve so I could purchase/use a grapple. I would also like to get a box blade to work on some of the paths we are making.

Good luck on deciding your purchase. There are lot of knowledgeable people on here that can give you some good advise from years of experience.

Stumps with a small backhoe aren't that much of a problem, unless you're just trying to brute-force tear them out. I've been pulling stumps with my BX23S for several months now without a problem; just dig around and under it and eventually it'll come out without a problem. Sure the are easier & faster methods but, work with what you've got!
