we currently run an old NH 7740 (with loader). I bought a kioti ck3510 (35hp) this time last year. And we have a mf575.

We're thinking of selling the mf575, and buying something that can do a range of light tasks ie topping, and possibly yard duties such as feeding etc.

Those kubota m6060 look a nice tidy job, and having one tractor with no cab; it has advantages nipping around.

But another option is to get a jd2650. I think the jd would be a more versatile tractor and has a cab; but if we opt for a loader; I think the kubota shuttle is a major advantage.

Not looking to spend big bucks, and don't want another 100hp tractor as we will more likely buy a bigger prime mover down the line. Don't want trouble or another tractor that's about to calve; hence the interest in the next new Kubota; but will it last?

My big plan is to have dedicated tractors on certain machines; as at the moment; the NH is constantly jumping from the zero grazer to tanker, to loader duties on a daily basis.
