Hello all! I’m on the search for a tractor to run a small beef operation with… I’m starting out with 5-6 head in the spring and expanding to 20ish. I plan buying hay to start and then doing round bales as I progress.
I currently have a 30hp gas case tractor and a L4350 but want to upgrade the kubota before I get too
Many attachments that are going to be too small for my future needs.
My plan is to round bale 30-40 acres. I’m looking for one tractor I can do most of it with and if the need arises later I’ll buy an older larger hunk of iron to do field work with.
I’ve decided I want something without emissions but still want the creature comforts of a newer tractor. I want to be able to do most of the repairs on it myself and I leaning toward Deere since they are close by and the dealer seems pretty supportive.
That being said is there a reason to go with a slightly newer “m” model over the 5x25 tractors? The 5425 and 5525 seem somewhat readily available as do the 5095’s-
I want a cab and loader and power reverser.
Are there any other options I should be looking at?
