Time to upgrade to a Sub Compact

[pboerschlein]

Hi I have a JD X320 Rider and a Commercial 12 and Convertible CI Gravely, but Really would like to trade up from the X320 to something with a FEL, MMM and Backhoe. Im excited and have alot of questions. From what I have read this is a great forum and I look foward to learning more.
Thanks

Paul

Welcome to TBN!!! I would be looking at something along the lines of a BX...(SCUT)

I like the slightly smaller size of the Kubota comapared to its capabilities. How well does it mow grass?

:welcome: to TBN! Yes, Kubota makes an excellent BX tractor which in your case you'd be looking at a BX25. Also, Deere will be introducing the 1026R in June which will have more features and comforts over the BX25 so that may be something worth looking into. :thumbsup:

Would deere give me a better trade in on my x320? than a kubota dealer it only has 100 hrs on it

Deere may as it is one of their products so it will potentially be "more valuable". Deere hasnt released too much info out on the 1026R but i know that it has the drive over MMM, quick attach H120 FEL and the 260 backhoe along with fold-able ROPS, more lighting, deluxe suspension seat with arm rests, a tool box, tilt steering wheel, and the fuel tank has been moved to under the seat rather than up on the hood. :thumbsup:

The Kubota BX is the standard in the sub cut market, and the BX25 is the best bang-for-buck you'll find. A 25hp HST TLB with MMM for less than 20 grand. Independent rear and mid PTO. 4WD. Power steering. The 3pt hitch is a $200.00 extra though. 0% financing for 60 months. And it's a great shade of orange!
What's not to like

Although I would like to see Deere's new SCUT. if it ever comes out.

They were supposed to be released in March but some problems with them occured so it was pushed back to June.

Well, the BX works great for us. How is your yard? Flat? Hilly? Many obstacles?
