40K max

[JimMorrissey]

Hi. I know this is going to sound odd, but I refuse to pay more than 40K for a tractor and loader. Would be nice if it had a cab, and might be willing to go 42K, but that's it. Only other caveat is that I need to lift just under 2K lbs with a set of forks. I don't really need much from the rear of the machine. I'm moving metal totes of firewood. Needs to be a new machine. Any suggestions?

TYM, Yanmar or Kioti would be my brand recommendations.

Again, for the umteenth time.. Whatever you buy, buy from a local dealer because you will need that dealer at some point.40 grand today won't get you much I'm afraid.

 

[CloverKnollFarms]

In that range, with those capacities, new… TYM

Agreed.

I actually could care less about the local dealer. I am the warranty

My bad. Yes you should get a Kubota.

Well, not for that price...

Maybe it ment 40k in 2005 dollars.

How high do you need to lift 2,000 pound metal totes of firewood?

How smooth and level is the ground you will traverse?

A 3,700 pound bare weight Kubota tractor will be sufficient for some, but fairly tippy and may not lift high enough for you. (Kubota MX, Kubota Grand L with LA1065 Front End Loader.)

Personally, for safety reasons I recommend a Kubota M series.

Kubota M6060 Weight
	5005 lbs (4WD ROPS) 2270 kg
	5358 lbs (4WD Cab) 2430 kg

LA1154 Loader / Power Position
2928 lbs lift (full at pin)
1328 kg

To lift 2,000 pounds to full height with a M series you will still need ~ 800 pounds ~ of counterbalance mounted on the Three Point Hitch.

Bidenomics says no.

 

[CloverKnollFarms]

Why does it have to be new?

 

[Torvy]

Using your parameters, you cannot buy a new Kubota that accomplishes your goal.

Their lift capacity at that price point is woefully less than the competition.

I like my Kioti; But TYM 574 HST open station falls well below your budget, even if you throw another $850-1200 on for forks. You probably could get the cab version within your price limits.

 

[paulsharvey]

If you want specifically a Kubota, MX6000, open station, just might squeeze in under $40,000 with a set of forks, assuming your state exempts ag equipment from sales tax.

 

[Goose1776]

You should be able to get an MX5400 for that.
I’m pretty sure when I got a quote for one a couple months ago it was under $40k for tractor with loader

He wants a cab too, 50K+

 

[Hay Dude]

Find the nicest pre emissions unit you can. This will allow you to go bigger, be safer, get your loader & cab and probably wind up with a more reliable tractor.

Consider a rear engine Skid Steer, rear engine Compact Track Loader or rear engine, articulated Wheel Loader in lieu of a front engine tractor.
