I appreciate the experience and professional responses. And those with experience using tractor cutters. I'm more concerned with the 4 to 8 foot high saplings. Brush, more or less. As you know this looks very different when theres leaves on the trees.. Anything larger than say 12 feet...

I'd like to clear out anything 1" dia trunk and smaller in some areas. Hate to have to do it by hand. Hate to rent buy or hire forestry specific equipment, but I may have to. Maybe a sickle type cutter. Not concerned too much about roots. Maybe some sort of fel bucket cutting edge that...

One other thing, what's the best implement to knock down saplings in the forest? A flail? Rotary cutter? I've got acres of this:

One of you mentioned the weight of the tractors affect on tearing up the trails. There's quite a few trails on my property, big enuf to drive my Jeep on. So the lighter L4701 would be better for that. One of my concerns to is widening the rear wheels for stability. The dealership I spoke to...

I live on a little over 40 acres of forest. I 'll be primarily maintaining the 1/2 mile long driveway with a box scraper, keeping the trails mowed, cutting down brush and removing 100 years of downed trees within the forest. It is hilly ground. Having a heated cab tractor would be nice but...

Stopped into a Kubota dealership today. Got an in-person look at the L 3560 Cab Limited Edition, a L3901, L3301 and a MX5400. For my property needs, and my wants, it's down to either an L4701 or MX5400. I love the cab on the Limited"Grand" , but it's huge. I don't think my forest property...

So, I'm shopping at Menards today, and ended up buying a Kubota. I'm going to shelve it for awhile. Enjoy.

As for inventory, I've found a few L4701's. MX5400, not so much. But I know full well that if I actually go to a Kubota dealer I WILL buy one. Pretty much that very day. So, I stay away until the timing is right. I've realized that my priorities were leaning towards want of a Kubota, not...

We'll, after carefully considering the options, I think we'll be ordering a L4701 or MX5400 in a short time. The cab issue WAS a primary concern initially but I have other options. Which include a snow blower on one of our 4x4 street legal vehicles. As for the cab, the change in center of...

Yep, I've got quite a bit of experience with tippy tractors. Never rolled one by God's Grace, but had to drop the bucket to the ground a few times in my life to avoid a catastrophe. My original experience with that was on a B7100 circa 1976. And back then they didn't have ROPS! I was just a...

We'll, I appreciate everyone's responses. I now think an LX is probably the most frugal factory Cab option. The LX2610 seems to be a tractor that will serve my needs. Unless I can find a used Grand L or M with cab that's in good shape at a good price, it's looking like I'll go for an LX2610...

I wasn't aware that the LX has more ground clearance. Thank you.

Got it, good information as I wasn't aware of that.

Exactly. I have a couple 4x4 trucks and an older Jeep with a top which I can put a snow plow on. Heating and AC built in. But being in the forest I really need a blower to throw the snow away from the narrow driveway. I'm considering a blade for the time being and looking into either a PTO...

You folks all make some great points. I do spend too much time on YouTube, and have been watching GP as well as many others including Neil at Messicks. My first tractor was in the 70's, a Kubota B7100. I was 15 years old and dad bought it to dig the pool we built in the backyard. He bought...

So, I did the Kubota website 'Build your tractor" feature. And with the lowest HP Grand L with Cab, or M /MX with Cab and snow blower, FEL, etc... it beats up 50 grand and then some more. I could buy 2 L2501's for that money. One as a dedicated snow blower. One as a FEL and grader, brush...

Thank You. I think I'll go with a factory Cab. I'll have to give up my gear drive transmission and go hydro. Spend a lot more money and have to deal with computer control thru a DEF system... As long as I'm going big, I just as well get a Grand L

I need a brush cutter to keep the trails through the forest clear. And a box scraper to maintain the driveway.

OP here.. Thank you for your advice and comments. I greatly appreciate them all. Thank you. I've been thinking about a Grand L. But because of my experience with Ford Super Duties over the years I'm concerned with the Particulate / Regen issue. It's a reliability issue. And... I am...

I'm new here, but not new to Kubota. I'll try to be brief. I've owned or operated several smallish tractors. Kubota B7100, a Massey skip loader and a construction JD backhoe / loader. I just bought over 40 acres in a Northern USA state. My driveway is 1/2 of a mile long. I want to keep my...
