That's kind of where he is...overwhelmed with choices.
I get a half-dozen texts a day "What about this one?"

What is he trying to achieve? Besides the permanent grin on his face once he buys?
Give us some details about what he wants to do with it and how much he plans on spending. There is a lot of good advice available here that can be passed on to you..then to him. Many of us have learned the hard way and maybe we can save some frustration for him. He's got friends here.

Well, frankly, he's got the cart before the horse.
Working on buying a house on 3 acres. Will need to do some mowing, don't think he needs a rotary mower/brush hog, but haven't seen the piece other than via Google Maps.
2 boys, dirt bikes, 4 wheelers, so he wants to rough out a track, therefor loader for sure, and probably a box blade.
Most of the stuff he's showing me and asking about is in the $10K to $12K bracket.
I've advised him that a JD 10xx or Kubota BX sized tractor of whatever brand would work but I think he'd wind up wishing he'd bought more tractor. Also counseled him that a good dealer within a reasonable distance is important. Told him to stay with major brands, avoid Chinese imports and gray market stuff.
Right now he's got so much stuff going on that he's not sure whether to wind his butt or scratch his watch.

I like everything about my BX except the 3 point level control. With any amount of box blade, rear blade, grader scraper, other 3 point implement work I would move up to a B with position control.
Waited 7 years. Now my ordered 2017 L3560 should be here in a few days. Already glad I chose it over the 3301
