- Kubota B2910, also Honda HT3813 with mower and front blade.
I'll throw in my $0.02 for what it's worth. I went through a similar decision making process before I bought my B2910 last summer. I started looking at the B7500...then the B2410... then the B2910. Mine is configured as a digging machine with loader, backhoe, posthole digger and R4's. I don't cut grass with it. Oh, and my wife (and pretty much everyone else I know) thought I was nuts for buying it. The jury is still out on the sanity issue, but this board is a great support group!
I finally decided on the B2910 because I figured over the life of the tractor (which will probably outlive me...and I'm hoping for at least 30 more years....good Lord willing) the difference in $$$ between the models wasn't really significant. Plus, I've got this funny little quirk in my personality that always causes me to buy the "top of the line" when I go shopping...if the budget allows.
In retrospect, any of the tractors I looked at would have done the work I needed. However, I'm thrilled with my B2910 and am glad that I bought it. Plus, I don't have to listen to that little voice in my head say "You shoulda bought the bigger one!" (Thank God that voice doesn't know about the L and M series!)
Good Luck in your decision. Most of us have been there. Sometime you have to let your heart help you with a decision when your brain can't fully reason it out.
Take care,
Rick
