Compact Tractors
Original Message May 26, 2005 4:23 pm

Since im not posting much during the Summer months, here's a fresh topic.

Who here runs a Compact tractor, not the usuall lawn style, at least a Deere 2210, Kubota BX 1500, Simplicity Legacy model as examples.

Might be looking for a used machine with a Loader and such down the road a piece.

I don't, my Ariens Grand Sierra is close but no cigar. I think Dave_in_Ct has one and I remember Mad Dog buying a Bota. Who else?

Hi MM...

Compact utility tractor... yeah... have a 2004 4wd Kubota L3130... bought new... w/ loader and 9' backhoe & couple other attachments... fully enclosed cab w/ heater... ~~30hp

Previously had a 1987 4wd Deere 750 with loader & 7' backhoe & snowplow & finish mower deck... bought used... a physically smaller machine at ~~20hp... Excellent machine !

Before the Deere... owned an older 2wd Power King w/ loader, snowplow and belly mower... bought used... ~~14hp ??

About 10 years using 'em...

Glad to talk & possibly help... here or on the telephone... I'm not here as much as I would like... so you can email me to get my or your phone number to discuss it...

My uncle was... and cousin currently is... John Deere dealers... and I have good rapport with a knowledgable Kubota dealer... so have access to expert info/advice...

Primary thing is to identify what you want to do with the machine... the $$$ will take care of thenselves... more than you wanna' spend !... LOL...

Dave...

Whether you think you can or you can't... you're right.

Evening Dave. I remember that Kubota you got not too long ago. You have it in STate, or did it stay up north for the winter? Its not as much as what i need now, but down the road.

My inlaws have 2 acres, arnt getting younger, and have honest uses for one to rplace a old LX176.

Just starting to resarch and kick ideas around. it seems I studdy somthing for 2 years or so before I buy.
