I have 11 acres of land most is pasture. I bought a Kioti CK 2610 loader 4 wheel drive with bush hog. It’s dang near perfect 👍🏻

[Jon-Gwen]

I have a Kubota B2601. I use turf tires because I live in northern Maine and need winter traction for snowblowing and mowing pasture and lawn in summer. R4's are not good in cold weather. Hard, doesn't sipe snow/slush and very slippery. No experience with the newer R14's, but dealer recommended turf over them and they have worked well.

[aaronburford]

It's always a good day when I see content from Piney Grove! Just a wealth of knowledge, great communicator, and loving the journey!

[gregoryhumphries]

I have a Kubota L3301. I love it. It does all I need. 5 ft brush hog, 6ft Lands plain, 6ft grader blade.
Fueling I have a Old bath towel. Folded up. I sit a 5 gal diesel jug on towel and tilt jug over to funnel. When down to 2 gal pick up jug and pour.

[Dogonatree]

Kubota talked me out of getting a kubota. The difference is a 2502, 3302, and a 3902 is the tune on the motor. Identical motors, frames, loaders, weights, everything. I was throughly confused when I read the specifications. But it all made sense once I realized they’re charging you $10k+ dollars for a code on a computer.

Great tutorial Brad. Comparison information between brands and models is often difficult to come by. I wish there had been similar informative videos before I bought my first tractor. Keep them coming. Happy St Patrick's day!

[tjt]

Great information! Finally on my 3rd purchase I have the tractor I want JD 4044R cab with the 3rd function! Heat/AC is great!

[rockethound]

Extremely informative! Thank you so much!

[tonygough]

Very good advice for potential new tractor buyers, take care.

[jimmerrithew]

Excellent tutorial. Very thoughtful. Thank you.
My JD 2025 is not perfect, but I use it a lot, and it beats a shovel.

[DaleHeil-lmix]

John Deere dealer is 2 miles away Summit dealer 250 miles away easy decision for me

[thaddeustroyer]

Thank you! Very good overview of the different tractor sizes. I honestly didn't think this video would be worth watching, since this type of video has been done soooo maaaany tiiimes and aI have a prettt good understanding of tractors myself, but you proved me wrong... yet again.

Keep up the great work. You'll get there soon enough.

[peterfeniello]

Thank you for this! My wife and I are just at the point we realize we need a small/compact tractor for jobs around the farm and you give so many helpful, hard-won considerations for us as we don’t have experience with this. We too are escapees from the corporate jail, we love our farm/homestead chores but at our age (50-ish) we need some equipment to lighten the burden! Thanks again, very helpful!

Super info - looking to purchase my first tractor to replace the 1956 Massey Furgeson that came with our property. Lots of great nuggets that I will review numerous times. Thank you.

[timsimon]

The 39hp and 25 lift the same. But the 39 hp can push loader into a pile much stronger.
Less stalling if your working it hard

Bought my Branson 2515h last year for our 10 acres. Bought it used with a backhoe, tiller and box blade for under $20k. I’ve since bought a mower. Looking to add a post hole digger when I can.

Bought all of it off marketplace.

Haven’t had a chance to do much with it until we can move out there.

I bought this as I can up the fuel pump to up the HP after the warranty is up.

I wish I had seen this video before I purchased my BX four /five years ago. I thought I knew a lot about tractors and apparently I didn’t know squat when I bought my tractor, It had a pin on bucket I never even thought about other implements until after you buy it.

[ronnieferguson]

I use a battery operated fuel pump with a 5 gallon can they are sold at tractor supply and most hardware stores I set the can on the tractor seat of my 1023 and use the pump to transfer the fuel

[JohnSmith-djgf]

Good video, thanks. Kubota needs to up their game in this class of tractor (65-70in wheelbase). Kioti is crushing them by offering a cab, side by side pedals, dual rear remotes, and more lift capacity in the same frame size. With Kubota you either have to go down in size to an LX or up in size to a Grand L to get a cab.
