I've got those rice field tires that tear up the lawn pretty badly. Any idea what size turf tires I should get? What would I expect to pay? I do use this tractor to engage dirt in my field. Is there a compromise between turf tires and rice tires that would work in the field but still not goof up my lawn? Thanks

Sounds about right depending on the condition. I just got the same tractor with bushhog front loader, 650 hours and also bought a bushhog mower for $6600. Warranty would make a difference too, I dickered for a 6-month 50/50 warranty with this dealer. By the way, I love this little machine!!

Dirty, good luck with your shopping. I was in your shoes two years ago and decided to get a "cheap" Cubby heavy lawn tractor. My 4 acre horse pasture seldom received the full treatment because all the wheels were too small to navigate the holes in the dirt. Not to mention the sore bottom after an hour of cutting. This year I bit the bullet and got a 70's era Yanmar 1510 under 20hp diesel with a front end loader and 5 fot brush cutter on the back. The whole deal cost me about 5800 but I think it will do the job. I haven't really put it to the test yet since it's kind of sloppy here in central Pennsylvania yet.

My hydrolic lines are apparently spliced into a piece of 1/2 inch copper tubing that comes out from under the engine. I am guessing that my aftermarket is run directly off of the pump. There is, however, a small adjusting nut under the tractor seat that I was told has something to do with the 3ph operation. For my case I think the bypass hose from TSC will have to do the trick. Thanks for the help. Ralph Shaffer
