    Mike, another thing to consider if you are buying an older tractor: make sure it has power steering. I have a 1963 Massey Ferguson and it steers well until I hook up the 6 foot finish mower - then I really have to fight the steering. Many times I have wished I had power steering. Also, power steering is a must if you have a front end loader.

    One other thing I would say is there is only 99% chance the there is the perfect tractor for all your needs. I would say even you would have to admit, you would have a tough time with only 1 tractor, not saying you couldn't do it. If someone told me they had the perfect tractor I would turn and walk away. This was a very good video for someone starting out. 2 thumbs up.

    I absolutely love your videos. I found your channel while researching Kubota tractors about a week ago. I have been binge watching them since! Your presentation of the information is simple and straightforward. I do not currently own land, but hope to in the future. Your videos are helping me understand all the work involved, plus giving me inspiration to move forward. I am a lower limb amputee, and know firsthand the importance of finding and using correct tools to get the job done. This video (along with the others I have watched) has taught me a great deal. Thanks for sharing, and keep up the excellent job! As an aside, tell the “hand rubbing naysayers” to kiss off. It’s who you are, and it makes you look natural! I’m looking forward to watching all your videos.

    When We got our 3901 we got the options we wanted with it. Caution, we got third function on the rear for a down pressure auger. A must have in our rocky terrain. No problems there. Also got a third function hydro line for the front to accommodate a 4 in 1 bucket. Problem. The bucket had to be ordered and the hook up lines were a different size. After some heated discussion with the dealership, I took the tractor with bucket attached to them and they switched out the lines without any problems. The key to getting this done was me taking the tractor to them, otherwise I would still have a bucket Icouldn’t use.

    Mike another great video, thank you. Some great advice in there especially about buying a tractor. My first tractor was a 25 hp tractor that the salesman convinced me was more than enough for my property. I explained what I wanted and what I needed to do and he convinced me to buy a smaller tractor than what I wanted. It was a great little John Deere but it seemed I was running it at its max capacity all the time. I also got it stuck in our mud here several times due to the small wheels. After one year and a lot of frustration I went and bought a 46 hp tractor and sold the little John Deere. I’m all about getting a little more tractor than you think you need because like you said, you will discover many more projects than you think you have now. Keep up the good videos. Thanks again

    Something I learned sort of the "hard" way, was the cab option. I was trying to be as economical and cost effective as I could thinking I could tough it out blowing and pushing snow throughout the winter. (Main purpose of buying the tractor, I do snow removal in Western MA) Boy, was did I learn! Two winters later (this past winter) I bit the bullet and traded in my not even two year old Kubota L3301 for an L3560 Cab model with the bells and whistles. Lost most of my equity I had put into the first one, but it is so worth it to just bite the bullet initially and get what you really need from the get-go. Thanks Mike, for all of these videos. I enjoy them in my free time!

    Great points made. I occasionally have buyers remorse but talk myself down. Had a BX2670 that I traded in for the BX23S (for the backhoe) with a cab. Sometimes i wonder if I should have gone bigger but, for my 3.5 acres, its plenty to do what I need and I'm able to transport it easily! I do wish I would have had the 3rd function added. Also didn't get the SSQA due to it lessening the loaders lift capabilities.

Mine has the HST transmission, FEL, backhoe with mechanical thumb, cruise control and a canopy. I also got a 5’ brush hog for mowing and the third function valve for a grapple down the road when I can afford it. So far I have used mine for mowing and stump removal and it has worked great! I really enjoy your videos……keep up the great work:)

Also a side note my family and I have always been John Deere people but iam choosing a Kubota for one main reason it's built here in America. Being a patriotic and a veteran they have my vote.

    Buy one level up from what you think you need and you will never be sorry. Instead of a garden tractor for my yard work I purchased a Kubota BX2200 and I am glad I did. It has saved me a ton of money over the last 18 Years. I was able to do more work in less time and without hiring help. From lawn cutting to leaf pickup, from snow removal to using a pallet fork on the 3 point hitch to move a 20kw generator to digging out rocks with a Johnny Bucket up front. It has more than paid for itself.

    Concerning choice of tractor tires- I have R4s on my L6060 Kubota. We get a fair amount of snow here. I found the front tires to be rather skaty on compacted snow. I grooved my front tires with my grooving tool using a 3/8 dia. U shaped heating element about 3/8 deep. I cut one groove in the center of each tread down the length of each tread bar minus about an inch on each end. Definitely could feel it hook the front up! So much so that I did nearly the same grooving on the rears. I didn't want to mess with the front to rear traction balance and maybe over stress the front drive.

    Excellent video Mike this a real service you do with this forum! I never really noticed the hands thing, maybe because I watch a lot of professional sports and have become desensitized by all the 'crotch grabbing', nose picking, chew spitting, seat picking, etc. I want to add a few things to the discussion on tractors; when picking the front loader, capacity is one and height/reach is the other, I sized my kubota/loader combination for loading a small dump truck. The need for reach over the side and clearing the dump body side walls was important for my use. Also, I heat with wood pellets (I live in real suburbia, no woodlot and cordwood way overpriced) I can lift a full pallet to move it around the homestead. I bought the full cab because I spend hours at a time using my machine in the winter clearing snow. I purchased the L4760 new and before it left the dealership I had front and rear aux hydraulics/controls installed, this was well worth the added expense. When the tractor is new and not all greasy & muddy, and the bolting isn't all rusted and crapped up, the technicians love to do that work and while they are doing the installation(s) they get a clean and closer look at all areas. The mechanic that worked on mine noticed a few things that he upgraded that wasn't part of the factory delivery prep. Thanks for hearing me out, til the next video....

    I've been hunting the right tractor for a few years now. In my oversimplified analysis in regards to hp. Hp and time relate to each other. The more hp, the less time it takes. Another thing I learned is there are more subcompacts and large tractors for sale than the sweet spot compacts for my needs. Seems like folks hold on to them forever. Compacts/utilities seem to have hardly any hours and cost a bunch or lots of hours and still cost a bunch. Lol. Thanks for the info

    One thing I think you forgot to mention is maneuverability. As men we always think the bigger the tractor the better. My land is about 1/2 wooded and I find it's really nice to have a tractor that can maneuver around the trees to keep it maintained properly. It's a balance between size (hp) and maneuverability.

    You can get allot more pulling and PTO power for your dollar if you skip a loader.

    I watched your videos and many others before I bought my first tractor. I ended up buying the cheapest one out there, a Kubota BX1880. I have a 20 acre rural property in southern CA that has lots of hills. I chose the BX over a larger tractor due to its maneuverability. Your #53 video on the right tool for the job is absolutely right. I paid 13,000 for my little Kubota. I can rent the specialized tool for a few hundred dollars to get what I need done or straightened out to where I can maintain my property effortlessly with my little tractor. I started off with a weed wacker, to a walk behind trimmer, to a riding mower, and now a tractor. My little BX has moved over 50,000 pounds of stone, mowed my property , scraped my fire line and straightened out all my ruts in only 40 hours. Also included in that time is maintaining my neighbors 20 acre property similarly and 2 miles of brush hogging along a road! If you're willing to rent the tool, you can do more with less as long as you're willing to maintain it. My kubota gets used nearly every day.

I did my homework for about 2 years before I bought mine and I was gonna go with the L 3901 But I talked to this guy that told me to buy the biggest tractor I could afford so for not a lot more money I got the mx 5200 and I love it!

    Excellent advice for the small land owner. I have 24 acres, mostly wooded with about 8 to mow, I will be doing EXACTLY what you are doing, Mike, building trails, etc. I really enjoy your channel and the fact that you are a Pennsylvanian, I was born and raised in HBG with family in western part of the state. We are down here in NC and once our dream home is complete (Feb 2018?) I will be livin the life. Until then, keep posting what you are doing so that I can live vicariously through you until our homestead is built... BTW, my brother has a Kubota and I will most likely get a 3301 or 3901, no cab, no backhoe, yes to the loader. Thanks, Mike for posting this. Very helpful.

    Great video, a lot of what you mentioned is what I did when I purchased my second tractor. I had a 18 horse John Deere and went to a 48 horse John Deere. The one oops about it was on the smaller tractor I had a belly mower and loved it, got a belly (6') mower for the new one and it's kinda of a pain because it's in the way for loader work and rear attachments. Taking it off and on takes time that I can usually mow with zero turn faster than putting it on. I mow about 6 acres but only 2 of that I can use the tractor so I tend not to use it very much. So if I would have known that I really wish I would have purchased a finishing mower for the rear. ( like the dealer tried to tell me) so dealers can be of some help because the do sell to a lot of different clientele.

    chuckle. I'm exactly the guy you're targeting ;) Twenty acres of woodlands that we want to develop into a home/farmstead. most of it's marshy. I need to be able to move timber and do some excavation to manage the water issues. When we get animals going, may need it for moving feed/feeders, fencing. . Lots of stuff to consider. Pretty sure I need some serious loader capacity...

    I am almost 50 and have been beating my head against this old JD 4010 and a 9N for years. I work lots of overtime and just want to come home and jump on something and get something done without having to work on the friggin thing for 2 hours to get it running. so due in part to your videos, I bought an RK37HC with grapple and backhoe. I have a blade here that i will modify to fit the quick connect. We havent gotten much snow this year, but we have a long driveway and normally i cant get the other 2 to start in the cold all that well. I am also looking forward to doing firewood this year. Should be a lot easier on my back.

    I bought a low hour Mahindra 2540 on CL (with 6' bush hog, 6' back blade, 6' front plow) which is WAY overkill for my 2.5 acre estate. Moving my 8500 lb toy hauler travel trailer gets the tractor's attention when it picks up the tongue (1200 lb) but it moves it without an issue. We hope to buy some acreage locally or move to a different home that has at least 20 acres sometime in the future. I had a blast using the bucket and rear blade moving snow on our 3/8 mile paved private road (four other homes use it) this winter. Two neighbors have trucks with plows and it seems one or the other was plowing as soon as two inches accumulated, so I basically do the cleanup in the driveways and near mailboxes.

    Always enjoy the videos! Great ideas and suggestions. Let me add one more, shop the dealer. Ask friends and others about the dealer. Check reviews. Then go to the top three and not so much look at the tractor but how the dealer interacts. How does the dealer handle small things? Those small things indicate a professional or a person who may not have your best interest in mind. Thanks for your videos- and adjusting and learning. Part of life! 👍👍👍

    Hi Mike, When I watched this very informative video I thought of a lot of things l learned owning a few tractors over the years ( Ford 1720, New Holland TC40, New Holland TZ 25DA, New Holland 3045, and currently Kubota L47 and John Deere 1025R , the JD is being traded in as soon as my dealer has my new Kubota B2650HSDC assembled) Turf tires are much better in snow. A rear remote can be used as a loader third function if the valve handle is in a suitable location, you can also tee the line at the valve and run it to the front and back of the tractor, using only one or the other at any one time. You are talking about getting a wicked grapple from EA. I have been using a Construction Attachments 72" root grapple for about 5 years now, first on the 3045 and now the L47. While the holes in the EA does save some weight, if you are going to be moving brush, small limbs will get hung up in the holes and be annoying. Small branches are always of concern when using a grapple, they always are aiming at your grill and radiator. I suggest enhancing your grill guard by adding some expanded metal or the like for extra protection. Hope some of this info is helpful. Keep making the great videos.

    Mike, I have a kubota 2650 w a loader. I purchased the 3rd function kit from dealer and I installed it in about 2 hours. Very easy but get the kubota kit not an aftermarket one. Kubota kit even comes with a complete new loader lever with control buttons built in. I also have a wicked grapple (company is down the street from me) simple the BEST attachment I have!!!!!!! I really enjoy your videos and if you have any questions about 3rd function kit just ask. Marshall
