- Kubota MX5100, Kubota BX2350, David Brown 880 Implematic
Gidday all, new member here from the Northern Rivers area of New South Wales, Australia. I run a small macadamia farm with around 800 mature trees, on 25 acres. Currently I have three tractors. A very old David Brown 880 Implematic, that came with the farm when I bought it 14 years ago. Since then I've added a Kubota BX2350 with which I mow, and importantly, mount my macadamia harvester. The David Brown was used for slashing (bush hogging I think you guys call it), but because of its age, being 2wd, and becoming somewhat unreliable, I have recently bought a Kubota MX5100 (geared) to do the slashing duties. I have a mix of ground, some flat and some quite steep, and I wasn't that comfortable using the DB on the steeper parts of my land, thus the purchase of the MX5100 (4wd). I've been a reader of this forum for quite a few years - it's a wonderful resource - but finally decided with my recent tractor purchase, to register, as there are a few things I would like to discuss with some of the many knowledgeable people on this board.
Cheers Macanuts.
