Comparison Kubota L275 vs Yanmar 2310

[cincyminicows]

This is my first post. Looking at getting a new-to-me tractor. it's come down to a Kubota L275 and a Yanmar 2310. From what I've been reading, both are good tractors with decent parts support. I'd like some opinions.

What I'd like to use it for: mowing, single bottom plow, disc, moving manure, gravel, etc., moving round bales, and HOPEFULLY maybe someday baling about 5 acres of flat pasture w a small square baler - slowly, dropping bales on ground not pulling a trailer. I currently do all those things except baling and FEL work with my ford NAA but i'm tired of spending more time keeping it running than using it. Yes I know baling is a stretch for tractors in this size range.

tested both out. both function well. kubota FEL seems to move a little slower - not sure what's normal. kubota is $1k more. Kind of worried the yanmar might be a little too light.

thanks in advance!

Sorry buddy, I'd chime in with advice but I really don't know much about the older models. I'd have to edumucate myself first on the topic. Maybe some old timer will chime in.

Kubota and Yanmar both build good stuff. The new Yanmar YT series tractors are really nice FWIW.
