    The right Kubota for me - please help

    You've put it succinctly! Thanks very much for sharing your knowledge and experience. You and the other folks on this thread who have been kind enough to take some time with me have really opened my eyes and put me on the right path to buying my first Kubota. I feel fortunate that I've got 4...

    Fantastic! I'm not much of a youtuber so I appreciate your directing me to quality content! I'll check em out! Lots of these comparison/tutorial videos I've been finding seem to be folks talking about themselves...and happen to have a kubota in the background :)

    The right Kubota for me - please help

    From the suggestions I've gotten, and my independent reading, it seeeeems to me that there can be a lot of similarities between the B, LX and L series. Indeed, this is the most confusing part about picking the "right" Kubota because frames, engines, and horsepower can vary and overlap depending...

    I hope that our house in the city sells for a sizely amount, because that more than anything else is going to determine our tractor budget. We also plan to trade in our Ford Focus for something with 4wd that I can camp/sleep in. So I don't really have a budget as of yet, but I'm really enjoying...

    Thank you very much for your advice! As you surmised, I don't have much experience with tractors. I grew up using my dad's Kubota (Mid 70's, unsure which model) to mow the hilly lawn with a belly mower deck and drag a rear blade on the 3-point hitch when the snow came to our half mile but FLAT...

    Thanks for the tip! I don't plan to have much of a yard to tear up, so I'm definitely thinking R1 is going to be best all-around for my plans!

    The right Kubota for me - please help

    Thank you, we're all very excited! Primary uses that I can expect: - Skidding logs, unlikely anything bigger than 16 inches diameter, 8-12 average - Clearing bush and brush from overgrown switchbacks - Leveling some portion of our pasture, clearing and rototilling 2-5 acres - Plowing snow...

    Sure thing! Of the 17 acres a little more than half is wooded. From best I can tell without a proper survey it's primarily hardwood, Oak, Maple, Hickory, and Cherry. The sellers let me know that it was last managed 40 years ago. It's on a steeper hillside, and an old overgrown switchback back...
