Hi folks, I'm looking to upgrade to a MFWD from my IH 584 2WD. The two available machines so far that seem to fit my needs and budget would be a slightly used JD5320 or a Kubota M6800. Would prefer a Case C-60 but can't find any. Really want something with a limited slip or locking front axle. Will be used for maintaining a road and hauling logs out of a forest. Pushing, scooping, and blowing snow, spreading sand, grading, etc. Will equip with a loader and Sims or Lorin cab and loaded rear tires. I have heard good and bad about each. "the newer Deere's aren't what they used to be", and the "Kubota is too light/wimpy and from Japan". I am sure there are merits and de-merits to each and was wondering what you folks thought. Is either one a maintinence nightmare? or a pile of junk? Several JD5320 - 2002 and newer - 600 or less hrs Kub M6800 - 1999 - 1600 hrs Kub M6800 - 2003 - 400 hrs Thanks, Jim
