| Hi Everyone,
I am new to the site and I find it very informative which is one of the reasons I signed up.
Introduction aside, my parents are looking for an additional tractor. my parents own a vegetable market garden and greenhouse. Currently the bulk of the work including seeding vegetables, transplant work, some sprayer work and cultivating between the rows is done with a international 384 tractor. We feel at times this tractor is on the wrong implement at the wrong time, and that a second tractor a similar size would be needed.
Currently we are looking at a John Deere 5075e or 5065e or a Kubota L6060. At the Deere dealer in Westlock there is a 5065e with a 553 loader, 12 speed with left hand reverse, MFWD, open station, and is a 2013 model with no emissions equipment.
The Kubota l6060 would be a 2014 model, with cab, mfwd and a loader. Being a 2014 model it would also have the DPF exhaust filter. Even though for vegetable type work there hydrostatic would work but due to personal experiences with kubota's hydrostatic transmission we would go with a comparable gear type transmission to the deere. Both have excellent dealer support as Westlock is only 30 minutes away. I am just wondering which would be the better tractor or if there's other colors to consider.
