Hello:
I have a vineyard in Iowa and am looking for the right Kubota to help me out with day-to-day operations in the vineyard and around the acreage. I've spent a lot of time on various sites trying to get a better idea of what will suit me best and am leaning towards a B3030 with a cab.
I like that this tractor is narrow and will drive between rows with ease and also that it is light and won't create much soil compaction over time. But I'm wondering if it's too small and not enough HP for the out of the vineyard tasks.
Day-to-day operations may include: mowing, spraying, roto-tilling and light soil work, wooden post driving, and snow removal. With the exception of hydraulically driving posts, I feel the B3030 will have plenty of HP, but I've also been considering a small to mid-sized L Series for more HP... but at a much higher price.
Any thoughts from B3030 owners and/or vineyard owners/operators would be great.
Thanks much,
James
