Thanks for all of the responses. You guys have given me plenty of information to work with and any questions that I had have been answered. Now it's up to me to make some decisions: A. What I really need from whatever I buy. Short term vs. long term. Short term I want help getting this...

It was built in 1885 so I am going to at least investigate the structure to see what kind of timber was used in it before doing anything else. It's also close to a row of mature evergreens along the shared fenceline that I want to preserve.

Thanks for the input, good to know about traction versus power on the B series, also about the MMM versus 3 point. I really don't have need for a brush hog but a 3 point finish mower would probably do fine for the large areas of ground I have to mow now and the JD's could handle the...

Thanks for the offer, understood about the weather for sure. We got another 4" of snow yesterday morning and there was a 20 car pileup on 75, I was out and it was sketchy for sure. It's been quite a winter, they said we usually have 9.5" of snow by now and we actually have 34.5", probably the...

Thanks for the input. I'm fine with gear drive rather than HST, if I don't know the HST has been properly cared for. I did somehow miss that the finish mower is not MMM, but I guess it would work for what I need. Other than the blade, the rest of the stuff will go up for sale or get...

I believe I found something that may work for me, but it is 3.5 hours away. https://www.tractorhouse.com/listing/for-sale/252430475/1990-kubota-l2250dt-less-than-40-hp-tractors More equipment than I want with the tractor and I'll pay sales tax since it is a dealer versus private seller. It...

I would skip over the idea of the MMM. Unless you always have it on the tractor you are not saving space in your barn. And just keep a the JD mower. Assuming they are ride on models. For that size I would definitely consider hydro over gear drive. Most smaller gear drive machines have a live...

I've been burnt enough on sight unseen purchases that I've decided that I want to see and drive whatever I decide on. I came across this about 1.5 hours away. https://www.tractorhouse.com/listing/for-sale/251258007/2003-kubota-b7500dt-less-than-40-hp-tractors I know it's not an L but...

Understood. There is a guy down the way who put in some field tiles for me out back with his backhoe and I'll ask him to do the digging when the time comes.

I grew up in NW Dayton, went to school in Cinci, spent 25 years in Brookville (Ohio), currently live midway between Tipp City and West Milton.

I'm 20 miles north of Dayton and the 70/75 interchange.

Thanks, can't have too much land in a rural area near a good school district. The house is pretty close to a fencerow of evergreens I want to save and I believe there is a lot of good 1885 lumber in there so I'm going to try to disassemble the top half of the house. I know there is wood...

https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/001/2/5/1259-kubota-b1550.html It's decent sized but 3 cylinder and only 17 hp. For years, I cut a few acres of ground with closely spaced trees, so close that a 38" deck was the only thing that would fit between and I used a JD 180 (that I still...

I am hoping for a 4 cylinder, would be delighted with a 5. I'll have a look at those models. I did something similar with options that come up on Marketplace, made an Excel file with selected data for each model, that's how I knew the B7100 was smaller than I wanted. I'm making the...

The people have spoken...an L series it will be. Just need to find a good one at/below $10k.

We do have a relatively high water table in the area. There is a lot of farmland to the west and it all drains our way towards the river where it gets diverted into a tile and ends up in a creek in the 40 acres of woods behind me. We have a basement but our house was built on the highest...

Good idea on the rim guard. Regarding the basement, there really isn't one. Just what's left of the dirt floor under the crawl space that I assume is now a labyrinth/breeding ground for the groundhogs.

Thanks for the responses. It sounds like an L is the way to go. The L2650 has disappeared from Marketplace and my text to the seller has gone unanswered so I think it's gone. I never got a chance to see it and the ad wasn't great so I can't say which transmission it had. I agree about the...

Thanks for the response. I have the cash and have been watching for a while, I was waiting till the paperwork was done and closing scheduled for the land before pulling the trigger, that just happened on friday. I sent a message to the L2650 seller to follow up on it. The ad was removed which...

I am buying the 3 acres of land next to me that includes a 912 square foot single story house built in 1885 that needs to come down, due to a crumbling foundation and groundhog infestation, when it's not flooded underneath. My plan is to dismantle the house and save the lumber and siding and...
