Some things I learned along the way after getting land: My 1st was a 30hp open cab JD, great little tractor, #1 is get a 3 point quick attach, you will not regret this. I have since gotten a larger one with cab and A.C. If I could just have one tractor I would have started with around 50hp with cab if I could afford it. You want something that can handle at least 1,500lbs on the loader for handling hay rolls.

I did hours and hours of research, went in bought me a TYM2515. My first tractor, yay, not so fast! Within a month I was back at my store upgrading to a TYM474 cab tractor. AC/heat radio, are must haves if you will be doing light work on other people’s property. (Hit your first bee hive hole, you will see what I mean.

Only 7 acres, but 2025r was still on small side. Next machine 39hp! L3901!

Finally closing on the last lot of our 19 acres surrounding our house on Friday. I’ve been tractor shopping myself and have gone through the whole gambit. Started looking at a BX23S. Then I realized that I was going to need something bigger with a higher lifting capacity. So I looked at an L2502. Started watching as much content as I could on them and then realized that with my hilly property and PTO intensive (lots of wood chipping and brush cutting in my future) work that I need to do, I’d be better off going with the L3902. It’s right about the biggest tractor that my property and my truck can handle so it’s probably the right one for me. Now we just have to wait for the sale of our first business to go through and I’ll be able to buy the trailer that I need and go pick up a tractor and the implements from the dealer. Thanks for the video. I just can’t get enough tractor content right now.

Agree with everything you said. I started out with a Kubota B2920. We’ve got 30 acres scattered across three tracts that don’t connect. We do two acres of market garden are currently mow the rest. Trying to plow with a light B series is a exercise of patience. Trying to maintain that much property with a 4 foot bush hog is borderline insane. I looked at tractors for two years and finally bought a JD 5065e. It’s a big enough tractor I opted the keep the Kubota as well for the tight spots and pulling cultivators on 30 inch rows. Being totally honest a Kubota 4702 or JD 4052 would have probably been a perfect fit. But I don’t regret my decision especially when it’s 105 out and I’m pulling a 8 foot bush hog with the A/C and radio blasting

Great information, thank you for sharing!

I was looking to go orange as well but ended up gong with a Yanmar, Got a 59 horse for the same price of a Kubota 47 HP. I have had it three years and I am more than happy.

Great video! Thanks for the awesome advice about why to go big. Much appreciated.

Gotta love quick attach attachments! Very impressed with the semi-quick attach 3pt hitch. Small, easy to install and use. the lack of a quick attach top link seems like a minor problem.

Thanks for the video.

Tym 474 looks like a great value

I just spent 4 hours mowing with my B2601 (6 foot land pride 3 point mount which is a joy to mow with). It's a great little tractor. Keyword: little. Been saving up this year for something in the 50-60 HP range with a cab. I'm old and soft enough now that I definitely put off tractor projects when it is uncomfortable outside.

That's why I bought the ls Mt 2 series tractor instead of the l series Kubota or the deer 2 or 3 series. Because it was heavier than they were and I coul get a gear drive shuttle option on it. The gear drive puts a lot more power to the wheels than a hydrostatic does. My tractor weighs almost 6 thousand pounds with. Grader blade and loader with rim gaurd in the tires. I have put 800 hours on mine in 3 years and have never had the first issue with it. I have a lot of tractors John deere massy Ferguson case international. And I have been more satisfied with my Ls for what I paid for it than anything else

I got plenty of powa. Ranging from 65 70 75 and 130hp. Older Deutz. From the 70's and 80's still going strong compared to this new junk.

Yup. My brother bought a BX (pinned on bucket) and has regretted it ever since. When I bought a house with 3 acres ( my youngest also has 3 acres just down the road so we split on this), I went with a B2650 and am glad I did. I bought all of the attachments I wanted at the time (tiller, land plane, grapple, pallet forks) as Kubota had zero percent interest for eight years, so that's like free money. My only regret is I didn't go with a factory cab. We use this for our food plots at our 40 acre hunting camp, and my son uses it for his large garden at home. He bought a garden bedder for the three point recently. In the winter, the tractor stays at my house and I hook up the 60" Titan snowblower to the three point I bought a few years ago.

When greasing you want to make sure it comes out of the craks a little bit

I bought a 04 L3400 kubota loved that tractor. But it wouldn't pick up a round bale of hay. In 2010 i bought a mx5100. I love this tractor. But should have bought it in the first place. It cost me more money in the long run

Thank you for the video. It is very helpful.

Good review, I started with a JD 1026R and the last year got a 3039R and I love it. Now the 1026R seems like a toy. Definitely go big if possible. I also love the air conditioned cab in the summer. I just subscribed

Nice Tractor my dad and I have a few John deer’s my first one is 1025r 3032r one zero turn mower and 1 bobcat

Yes, yes, yes. Buy the biggest tractor you can afford and get all your implements too! I bought my tractor and thought I would buy some of the implements I wanted at a later date. It never happened.

Funny story bout greasin… was doin a mower n one day bearing went out … tool apart n pulled bearing n it was sealed.. I was greasin air lol

I take care of 30 acres with a ford 8n and a 1999 John Deere 425.

Bought a M4 recently on mixed 30 acres. Plenty of power and loader (no DEF fluid!, cab, AC heat, buddy seat for kids!). Old tractor was L3701 but not up to the task of medium logs and heavy grapple. I would like something in the 20hp range eventually for yard use.

Nice review! I see you have a creek on your property! Does your driveway go across the creek? If so, I would like to see a video detailing the process! We are currently in the process of doing this.

Please consider doing a presentation on your carry all design. I was about to go ahead and build mine with permanently attached platform & backboard but your design, allowing removal so as to allow usage as sort of a set of forks for heavier items interests me. Thanks. I've got an L2501 that I use on my 5 acre property and am content with it, though I know that the L3901 or L4701 would have enabled me to get heavier duty rear attachments. I chose the L2501, without the Diesel Particulate Filter system, as the Kubota dealer is very far away and wished to avoid service requirements above my abilities.

Very good review of your kubota. Im thinking of getting a rcr1860 cutter as well. Does yours have a slip clutch? If so, is it a big pain to slip the clutch plates twice a year? I may buy the shear bolt version instead. Do you like your cutter? Thanks

By the looks of it we are looking at a review of a tractor that hardly has a scratch on it. How many hours on the machine at the time of the review?

What is the lift capacity of the front bucket? Will it pick up 2000 pounds?

I would advise people to be realistic with what they will use a tractor for, and then buy “enough” tractor. I wouldn’t want a larger tractor, in terms of maneuverability on our 1.2 acre and ability to park inside the garage.5555

Do you have any concerns with having a dpf on your tractor simce you are over 25hp?

Is the weight accurate? I had no idea they were that heavy

Thanks, I'm in the market to buy a tractor for 50 acres. Been looking at the Kubota, and looking at the Kioti also.

Be safe

Have you had any issues with the regen on this machine?

At the beginning of the video when you were attaching emplomints to your tractor you don't need such high rpms all you need really is idol

You should have saved your money and bought a Kioti tractor. Better price, better lift capacity for loader and 3 point, all metal no plastic, better seat and hydraulic system.

Make a video on your shed build please 🫶 Alot of us want a place to put our nice things
