I am looking into buying a tractor. I want a FIL, 4x4, and a cab with a/c, heat. I have found a good deal on a Kubota L3540. My issue is all the implements we have I don't think the tractor could handle.
I am using a Ford 3000 now, I know that this tractor has more horsepower but it is a 2wd. The bush hog is 6ft and the disc harrow is 10ft. Judging by the lifts the L3540 should be able to lift it but I don't know about actually using the implements. I feel like the 6ft bush hog might be too much for the L3540 and the disc might be too much for it even if I use it in 4wd low.
I am trying to decide whether I should jump on this deal or wait a while and find something with more HP. I definitely do not want buyers remorse.
I want the tractor to last a very long time and don't plan on getting rid of it since I bought my own land.
Any advice for a newbie would be much appreciated. Thanks
