Hi I like to overanalyze larger purchases and appreciate opinions. In the market for a 3 ton mini for my small xmas tree operation and property maintenance, I will be selling my wood max chipper has 30 hrs on it and 3point great bend 651 bh I completed most large clearing projects so may sell my JD 326 skid steer with some attachments has steel tracks over tires and is an overkill for what I now need it for. I will be getting either a small flail, rotary cutter or mulcher for my future purchase, 12gpm or less on the aux hydro, around 500-600 lb weight on the end of the stick. narrowed it down to Kubota U25, or U27, unsure of major differences between the two besides auto shift hi lo on drives and 1/10th of a horsepower, tekuichi TB230, JD G26 or a Bobcat e26. Will get a thumb for it. All my quotes I received are fairly close, I believe no models listed have DPF or regen, I don't want an enclosed cab, angle blade etc. Used market is terrible especially on Newer Machines with hours are more than new in some cases and finding actual specs for older grayer market machines with lower hours weighing around 6k that can handle 12gpm on the aux hydro's seems impossible. Experience with these brands or these models is appreciated or if I overlooked a brand or model someone has experience with.
Thanks J
