I own a kubota BX2200 and would highly recommend a kubota. I have had it for 24 years now and it does everything that I throw at it.I have a front loader, a mid mount mower deck, a rear box blade, and have used a large 6 foot wide tine rake behind it. Mine is a hydrostatic transmission, 3 cylinder 22 HP diesel, and other than regular maintenance, it has not been any trouble. www.Tractorbynet.com is a great forum for tractors like Moparts is for our cars.
