Best Tractor for Small Acreage? Bad Boy 3026H Review After 2 Months. $15K Cheaper Than John Deere!
Overview
An owner's two-month, ~10-hour real-world check-in after buying a Bad Boy 3026H for $18,500, framed squarely against a $33K John Deere and $30K Kubota alternative. He walks through specs, controls, loader capacity, PTO setup, and three specific gripes: awkward parking brake placement, faded paint and gauges, and a painfully slow-filling six-gallon fuel tank. Best for budget-conscious small-acreage shoppers weighing Bad Boy against name-brand competitors.
