I'm a kobota fan from past experience on the b series but though I would see what else was offered looking at larger models. My primary use will be on 96 acres for bushhoging and loader work. And using to move logs when doing residential tree work. Eventually maybe square bailing in the future. The farm all is narrow at 67.5" vs 74 for the kobota so will fit on my trailer the kobota won't. They are close in price. Any reasons to go with one over the other ?

I'm kind of leaning towards the kobota I think I may be able to get 3" more modifying my trailer. I need to look at it harder.

You’ll typically get more for your money with Case, but when buying used its more a matter of hours and wear. Kubota parts should come with lube if you know what I mean, they’re as bad as Deere with part prices. No tractor parts are cheap, but Kubota and Deere are especially ridiculous.

Maintenance is not as costly as some other brands IMHO. . . and I've had Case, IH, JD, Cat etc. "Humans are the hardest people to get along with." Dr. Phillip Snow
