I have a Cub 7275 and love it. Its all the tractor I will likely ever need and a blast to use. Frankly, most brands are excellent. We use large JD's at my family farm and they are great too. Most people use their compacts 75-100 hours a year and you are just not going to have any trouble if you maintain them and don't abuse them. At 100 hours a year this tractor will likely out last most of us. I looked at used JD's, Kubota's and chose the Cub because I got a newer hydro tractor with lower hours for the same money. I am not worried about support, it will be there. PJ

Dave,
I would highly suggest at minimum a 10,000lb trailer. If you are pulling 325 miles one way. 5k plus 2-3k for the trailer puts you in the market for at least that much trailer. I would NEVER max out on my Gross Weight for other than a few miles. Long distances like your talking requires a bigger trailer. You have the truck to pull it and you will reduce your risk of accidents and damage to trailer greatly. There are lots of regional trailer manufacturers around here (MN) and many are good. Most you can order trailer exactly as you want, size, axles etc.PJ

Sounds like you might have air in system. I'd would try and cycle loader, you do this by raising and lowering loader(with bucket empty) to max limits several times to purge air fom system. I have had this same symptom with my Koyker loader and this usually fixes the problem. PJ
