The price of the 1523 included a loader. The backhoe for the 1523 has been dropped from the MF line. An after market backhoe could be added. price around 7-8,000.00
We are looking @ tractors & considering either a Kubota M8540 or a Massey Ferguson 2670. Anyone using either of these. Need to be sure of dependability, etc.
4 year old post, for the OP, try using the search function and type in 2670 or looking at the Reviews section, don't remember reading anything recently but you never know. Good luck
I would think that the GC series would be closest to the B7500, but somewhat more powerful. I assumed I would buy a kubota when I decided to get a tractor. That was until I fou d my Massey
Massey Ferguson 1635 12x12 Shuttle, Exmark Pioneer 48, and toys
Hhjust b doin the same research...local Kub dealer won't sell or stock a 2630 or 3030, B3200 shakes too much, 3300 no-mid PTO, ec....
H been pleasantly surprised JD and MF both include mid-PTOs on their builds for the compariable tractors.
I'd get an L, but you can't get a mid-PTO unless you get the Grand L40 Kubs, a that's ridiculous
Haing just reviewed and ridden them all, I'd recommend the MF 1526 as a good comparitive model.
I am thinking the 1529 or 1532 for my needs. The JD 2720 is another great comparison - both with more capability.
Hope that helps!
