I know there are other threads like this so I hope this isn't totally unwelcome but I am new to tractors and looking for some opinions.
My wife and I are buying her grandpa's property, 19 acres of mostly woods. I am looking for a utility tractor with a loader mostly for brush hogging, driveway maintenance and general utility work, moving firewood, etc. I found 2 nearby I am interested in looking at and wanted to see if those with more experience might have strong opinions or advice before I even bother driving and hour to go look at them. They are in opposite directions and private sales so it's not a decision of dealer or anything. And I could get parts for both locally.
Tractor 1 is a Ford 2110, 2WD with a 776B loader. 2700 hours. Looks a little rough in the photos but complete and not abused, just used. A little rustier but not rotting apart.
Tractor 2 is a Kubota L345 with a 1720 loader. 1500 hours and looks pretty clean. It comes with a york rake also.
Both tractors are 2wd and about the same HP, same features and roughly the same price. I think the Ford is a little heavier which I feel like I'd want in 2wd, but that is just from a little internet research, and I get conflicting results on just how much heavier it might be.
I guess what I am looking to know is even though the Ford has more hours is it more tractor even though it's similar HP? I don't mind if it's a little ugly and he's actually asking a few hundred less than the Kubota so if it's a better tractor I would go with the uglier machine.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
