Looking for new tractor

[Roxburyeric]

I have been lurking on this site for years and I am finally ready to purchase a tractor (TLB). Looking at the Bobcat 122, Kioti CK20s hst, BX25 and the new John Deeres 10xx. I know many say the BX25 is not as much tractor - but I'm looking anyway - for the price it is hard to beat. Looking to stay under $20k. I have 3 acres. I am not going to mow with it (at least for now). Mostly for moving dirt, woodchips, wood, etc. (bigger wheelbarrel). General homeowner yard stuff - but I like bigger homeowner projects also. I also have a bunch of projects for a small backhoe. Also - please don't say rent a backhoe - I want one. Thanks for your thoughts?

You really need to rethink your tasks and give serious consideration to renting a good backhoe/excavator.:laughing::laughing::laughing:

Actually all the models mentioned should work well for your needs and there are a lot of owners here who can steer you in the right direction. Good luck.

Triple R - I guess I had that coming - another reason I like this forum. Thanks

Oops. I forgot to tell you to include forks. The reasonable priced ones that hook over the bucket are what I use.

Sounds like the BX25 would be perfect for you.
