I am looking at these two tractors and am hoping I might be able to get a little buying assistance as this will be my first tractor. I've read through the forum and you folks are always so helpful with these kind of q's I thought I'd give it a try. Don't have serial numbers for these guys but here are the other specs.

B7200DT, 807 hrs, 1986 mfg, kubota loader, ROPS, 9 body, $6500
B6200HSD, 864 hrs, 1987 mfg, new SMC loader, 9 body, no ROPS $6500

This will be my first tractor and I know I want the ROPS so I'd have to have the dealer add that to the B6200. My uses are mostly mowing, some earth moving. Does the extra hp make that much difference here? Since I'm a new tractor owner will the hydro be a better choice? These prices are the going rate for the B6xxx and B7xxx series in my area. Thanks!

Brian,

I am also looking to buy a compact tractor in this approximate price range and am looking mostly at the B6XXX and B7XXX models. My research (at least for the PNW) has shown that most go for the $6-8K range for a tractor with 800-1100 hours and an FEL. Maybe I've been shopping in the wrong places (dealers, newspaper, web) but if I could find that rig here, I'd probably buy it that day!

Morgan,
With the kind of slope on your place the stumps and gohper holes would be a real issue I'm sure. My timbered area is limited to only 2 acres and I've tried to keep most of the stumps all the way down flush with the ground. But if I went to a dually like you did then it sounds like I wouldn't even have to worry! And for the cost you are talking about the added access would be worth it. Thanks!
