Future purchasing curiosities?

[Shadow_storm56]

This year we replaced our 4-6 year old, dead, 5083en with an M5-091 narrow. It was not somthing we expected to do but sofar we love the new kubota. The tractor that needed to be replaced but for now we actually successfully fixed up a fair bit decently to get us a few more years out of it is a Ts100 new holland. It's never been an amazing power house of a tractor and had a glitched fuel system that was poorly fixed but it makes a fantastic loader tractor because it's extremely heavy and built really solid. Fuel thing is mainly it has a 0% tolerance for gelling... like fuel gets cold and starts to get a tad thicker and boom goes the fuel put. But all these were things we figured out on the new holland and it's a fairly decent tractor. So my curiosity is someday when I replace that I wonder what kubota tractor would be the = but new and better thing to replace the ts100, no need for any huge hp increase. I wonder if kubota would have a tractor that heavy, normally really heavy is not somthing you want in a tractor haha. Thanks all!

The complaints I've heard about the "larger" Kubota’s is that they still are too light.

I've been seeing more Fendt Varios, nice looking machines.

You will not find a Kubota with both similar HP and similar weight as the TS100 but an M6-111 is likely closest.

This is why weights and liquid ballast are offered.

Yea the ts100 has loaded tires and we put a 55gallon concrete weight on the back when we plow snow, weight makes up for it's lower power. Other hand though it is alwayssss soo heavy that it sucks for anything other than loader work or plowing snow. Even with the weight off, all good information though thanks all

Fendt sounds awesome and expensive, we had them heavily ballast my new m5n-091 narrow tractor and it worked really well. wheel weights, loaded tires as full as they can be safely and it really works good. light in mass is ok but being built too light to handle the job is a different story.
