Deere 2305 Vs. Kubot B7600 - B2630 compact tractor

havrilj · Oct 8, 2005

This comming spring I in tend to purchase a compact tractor... I have around 4 acres of field/grass to cut.. plus I need to do some front end loading ... I NEED 4WD beacuse it gets pretty soggy in some areas... I have around 600 ft of creek that has misc. scrap trees that need to be pulled out because they are blocking the flow of the creek. my father likes the John Deere 2305 and I am leaning towards the kubota B7600 or the new B2630. I want to make the best decision possible. Please help... when I buy I do intend of purchasing the FEL and Backhoe. please point me in the right direction. The reason behind staying on these two particular brands is that the dealership that sells them is only 2 miles away!

As a side note I want the tractor to be able to have the mid mower deck on when the FEL and backhoe are on. I do not want to have to keep taking the implements on and off all the time.

Wondering why you limited your self to those 2-3 particular tractors?

There's a ground clearance difference between the Kubota tractors and the 2305, if it's like the 2210. The 4010 or 4110 are more equal in ground clearance to the Kubota ones you're looking at. Think the 4110 is being replaced by the 2520. There's a posting with a picture of it. I may have the numbering not quite right.

What did you have in mind?

Well, there's the NH line, the Simplicity, the MF and Kioti. Just to name a few.

I think you will change your mind soon about having all the implements on all the time. The backhow and FEL while mowing will become a major nuisance and the weight of everything won't be good while mowing.

i understand that ... i mean i dont want to have to remove the mid mower deck... taking the FEL on and off as well as the Backhoe is not a problem... i do not want to cut the grass with the FEL and backhoe on ... but am i going to be able to have all three implements on at the same time... ie. trailering?

i agree with NATURAL having all the attachents on at the same time can e PIA the MMM can be especially tough when doing work where ground clearence is critical.plus the BH on the back when not needed just adds weight and can be a problem when working in close quarters.

You can have all 3 attachment on a B2630. The MMM must be pinned up before BH is installed. You do not mention what size MMM you are looking at. When I purchased my B2910 with 72" MMM I had to look for a wider trailer. With discharge chute up it has only a couple of inches clearance on my 84" wide trailer deck.
