Need advice thanks

[viper6j]

I am looking to purchase my first tractor and am down to a new JD 2032R with H130 Loader, Pallet Fork and 6ft Back Blade or Kubota B2650 with the same equpment the JD is $500 more than the Kubota. Also looking at a 2013 used JD3520 (42Hrs) with same equpment for $4,000 more than Smaller JD both all 3 will have turf tires. What is the better machine for the $$$
Thanks for any help.

I'm not familiar with either one of those tractors, but assuming that they are pretty equal in power, size, and weight, I think that I would pay the extra $500 for the green. I just switched from a 15 year old JD to a new Kubota, which I find to be VERY primitive, especially in the hydraulic control department. There is no raising the 3 point a little or slowly--it's up several inches with a big jerk. JMHO

42 hrs is basically new, IMO. If you can swing the extra $4K, I'd get the 3520 hands down. You'll always appreciate the extra power.
