I'm tired of fixing tractors. I have been spending nearly every weekend fixing one of three handmedowns: A 1950's Ford gasser (a farm tractor for sure, 4 cyl), a 1970's Ford diesel kamikaze (an 1100 that wants to tip over when it hits a pebble) and a 1963 Farmall Cub. I'm going to put the herd out to pasture and buy either a Mahindra 4010 or a Kubota L3900. Need 4x4 and FEL.

I'm leaning toward the Mahindra because it's about $5K cheaper for approx equal HP and config.

Last year somebody (AKLIM?) suggested some websites for tractors which I joined and learned a lot from. Thank you.

Y'all have any opinions (pa-hahahaha!!!)? In the town I live by there is a Kubota, New Holland, Deere and Mahindra dealer. New Holland was higher than Kubota so I eliminated that one. Deere is just a green Kioti (nothing against Kioti, but it's still priced like a Deere). So I narrowed my list to orange or red.

I have a lot of implements except my bush hog equivalent is worn out and I need a 5 ft cutter. But I don't need anything else.

Tell me what you think?
