Thinking of going from Kioti CS2410 to Kubota B2301, questions on lift and price.

If you don't want that large of tractor for loader lift power, maybe a bale spear on the 3 point hitch would move your hay on the smaller machines

Thats what I have now, and it works very well. However, I cant stack and I cant unload from trailers or trucks (nothing huge, just a pickup and a small flatbed). I have to drag the bales out of the back of the truck.

Well if you want to lift 900# round bales with the loader you need to be looking at bigger like mentioned earlier

You could always look into something like this...
3 Point Hitch Forklift,Tractor Forklift,Hydraulic Fork Lift Attachment

Whew, man I really hate to move up to that large of a tractor. I know I'm trying to do 2 things with one machine, but I just really think a 2500lb tractor (as compared to my 1700lb tractor) on a yard will just really make things worse and not mow as well. As it is, the CS2410 is just "ok" at mowing, its not nearly as good as the zero turn I had.

I'm curious as to why you want to mow and moving/stack round bales with the same machine?

Lots of newbies try to do this, but it is really a terrible idea.

Based on your occupation, doesn't Case have a good employee discount program?

Case's compact tractors are actually not that good, and are extremely expensive. Plus, they do not have an employee discount program. The dealership does, but they dont.

Also, not a "newbie". I've been around tractors my entire life and am a heavy equipment sales rep. I realize the shortcomings of trying to use 1 machine for 2 jobs, however having one machine is easier to maintain and cheaper to run.

I am looking at the option of buying a larger tractor with just a loader, and then a 52-60" walk behind mower to mow with.

That's too bad, nothing better at getting the staff familiar with the product. I did a build off their website, didn't seem to be that expensive

Who is making the case tractors now?
