In the market for a new tractor. I got about 5 acres of grass to mow also a 100yrd gravel driveway that would need to be keep up. My wife also wants a large garden. What do y’all suggest I get and where from. I’m not loyal to any brand. Just want something to last me a long time.

Find out what dealers are nearby to decide. Personally I would go with Kubota if there was a dealership within 30 miles.

Kubota is a solid tractor. I bought a Deere 3032e as part of a package deal, have been very happy with it (4+ years and no problems).

I'll pass on some advice I was given (and followed) - whatever brand you buy, get a front end loader.

Kubota all the way. 40 hp plenty to use 6 ft implements. Get front end loader.

I have 6 acres and a 100yd gravel driveway. Bought at 23hp kubota with front end loaded 5 yrs ago and its perfect for what i need. i manage the driveway and mow the front yard with my mower and bushhog the back with the tractor. Its plenty for what I am doing. Now if i'm doing major work or dirtwork, I would need a bigger tractor

my only thing to add is that if you do decide to get a front end loader, make sure the tractor is also 4 wheel drive. good luck.

Get a 30-40hp tractor. Kubota is good in that size. How close a dealer is to you is a big deal.

Check the Kubota dealership in Woodville MS before you buy anywhere else.
