buying a compact loader

chrisdvorak · Aug 3, 2009

i am having trouble deciding on what brand of compact tractor i should buy, right now i am thinking about a massey ferguson 2310tlb or 2410 tlb but is the kubota bx24 a better machine for the money? oh, the massey has great financing to

any input would be appreciated and pics of you setup would be great too

Right now the best for the $$ looks like the bobcats.

I vote GC2420.

i just called my local dealer of mf and last month they told me to wait to buy my tractor because they thought the financing would be better in august and it turns out that it got worse

and the bobcat is not an option because there is no dealer anywhere near me, now i am thinking about the mf gc2300 with loader, does anyone have any opinions on this machine?

Hi,
I had the newer version of the MF GC2310 (had the three lines to the BH and couple other improvements over the original) and liked it very well, but i traded it in on a little larger tractor.
It ran great and engine displacement was greater and provided plenty of power even at lower rpm's which spec'd out a little better than the Kubota BX series. The BH and FEL performed really well...I think you would be happy with this machine (or the BX for that matter). The main thing is you will like having a FEL and BH for chores!

The tractors you are looking at are sub compacts. If you do enough shopping, you may find a true compact for equal money and that will do more digging per HP than the sub compacts. Check out the Mahindra, TYM, Kioti, or Montana as you may get more for your money. It is kind of like putting a 200# man on the round bitted shovel over a 100# man.
