Looks like I’m about to be in the compact/utility tractor market again. Most of my implements are medium to heavy duty 6 foot models. I need a 4wd tractor with FEL that can handle these and actually do some dirt work too. What do the Aldeer tractor gurus recommend?

I think Mahindra is the only tier 4 that doesnt use DEF. Otherwise your're looking at 2012 or earlier. If you're mostly in open fields cabs are nice. I stay in tight places/woods roads too much and prefer an open station.
60 HP 4WD with loader and grapple. Personally I'd avoid the Deere E series. What dealer with a good service/parts department is the closest ? Thats what I'd choose.
"Cull" is just another four letter word...

Definitely an open station. I currently have two older 40+HP two wheel drive tractors:2001 Mahindra 4500 and 196x Ford 3000. Both run strong, but each have their limitations and are less reliable than they used to be. Neither hav a FEL and that’s something I’ve needed for a while.

I wish Kubota would offer the shuttle shift in the L and MX series tractors.

I wish Kubota would offer the shuttle shift in the L and MX series tractors. I can't imagine why anyone would want a shuttle over a hydrostatic drive, especially for loader work. Maybe they never drove one?. That's why I bought an MX instead of an M. MX6000 is the largest hydrostatic drive tractor that Kubota makes. I've put over 50 hours on mine in the 5 weeks I have had it, and I took two fishing vacations since it got here. You couldn't whip my ass hard enough to make me swap to anything other than a hydrostatic drive.

I’m talking about the manual transmission option.

OP you may want to look at the L4701 Kubota
It does not have DEF but does regen which is no problem at all
Mine does not have the HS...it has clutch/manual trans and I love it
Been running this tractor for 4 years and not one minute of trouble
The L4701 has the M series frame and is the largest in the L series with 47 HP
When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself
The older I get the better I used to be

The whine and power loss from hydrostatic is why i wouldnt have one. Yep. The hydro-whine, especially on larger tractors, I find quite annoying. I can always tell when my uncle in law is doing work because I can hear the whine before I can hear the tractor engine.
