I have found a 98 Kubota B7300 HSD with LA271 Loader that I am considering.
I have 4 acres. About half cleared and the other half had lots of pines standing until hurricane Michael came though, now they are all on the ground. Current tasks for the tractor would be to move enough dirt from the front to the back to fill in a pool and then help with moving all the downed trees. Considering one of the 4" or 6" PTO wood chippers to chip the branches and then get forks to put on the loader bucket to move the larger part of the trees to get them stacked in a more orderly manner.
The guy is asking $8000 for the tractor, loader, 48 rear discharge deck mower, 5' blade and a trailer. He is calling it a box blade but it is not a box just the flat blade. I do not need the trailer and will end up having to sell it if I buy the package.
I have a couple questions.
1. Does that price seem reasonable? Don't know how many hours on it yet
2. Are parts still available for this vintage tractor? I borrowed a buddy's L260 and found that parts were really hard to find.
3. Will it hold up to running one of the 4" or 6" chippers?
4. How large is the bucket on the LA271?
