New to the forum guys! I'm currently looking at purchasing a new Kubota here in the near future. I currently have a JD 5400 2wd and 1070. I have roughly 75 acres that I am taking care of. Majority of it is small plantation pine with some pasture area. The pines will be getting cleared section by section and will need to be cleaned up behind the timber crews. My plan is to keep the 5400 to bush hog between the smaller pine trees while using the new tractor for cutting the pastures and I would sell/trade in the 1070. I was considering the the 7060 4wd with FEL and cab. But I see no reason to get a 74hp tractor when the 5400 is already a 68hp. So now i'm starting to eye something bigger like the 8560 4wd or 9960 4wd. While these might be a little big for what I need now but I can see them being beneficial for the cleaning, clearing, and ground work to re-establish all my pasture area and for future use when I starting cutting and baling hay again. Like I mentioned the new unit will have a cab and FEL. I just wanted to get opinions on which model I should go with and why.
