The best thing you can do first, is to check out the dealers in the area. There are alot of tractors and all have problems. A good dealer close to you and a good warranty is the first thing to look at. What you plan to do with the tractor will help with the selection.

Question - i needa compact tractor to backfill, landscape, load/ move earth/ material. have 6acres

I would advise 25 horsepower or up more hp is better if the tractor is not to large to do the job. FEL (front end
loader)with 4wd (four wheel drive). The FEL needs to be sized to your unit. Back hoe attachment there are several out there ask how hard it is to remove and re-attach. Does the dealer have a mechanic on site? Does he have parts? What kind of warranty? Will he deliver or fix on site? Do you have to return the tractor? How long has he been in business? Do you know any of his customers? Ask around about his after deal service. Will the dealer finance or will it be through a company? If this information is not important to you now, it will be when you have a problem. Do your homework before you spend your money. Remember DEALER, SERVICE, WARRANTY!!!!!!!!

Peters,

Now there is an idea. I'll try my simple bar with a 2 inch drop, turned over. The WD hitch I could carry and place on before load. I'll give it a try.

Estimated weights for those interested
trailer 2500 lbs
tractor 2500 lbs
implements 500 lbs

Total load is around 5500 to 6000, depending on number of implements carried.

Well the simple answer is to simply match the weight. BushHog was within their rights, since they don't have a clue how you'll be using your FEL. Assuming you know how much the FEL weighs, add to it the average weight of whatever you expect to carry in it. The sum is the number you want for your counterweight.

But it's hard to imagine a Kubota dealer that didn't have a wheel weight solution.

I just went to Google and typed in USED TRACTOR PARTS and a lot of sources popped up.
I needed a Window regulator for a 91 Imperial and it was going to cost me $600 thru Mopar, I went to google and found USED CAR PARTS dot com and bought everything I needed for $100 delivered.
I am sure you will find what you are looking for.

Not wearing a seat belt while operating a machine is cause for instant dismissal, no warnings.<br>
<br>
As has already been stated, if the tractor is in a position where the operators weight shift makes the difference between shiny or greasy side up, then the tractor is in the WRONG place.<br>

Happy late Easter everyone. I spent the holiday in balmy Milwaukee. Balmy by April standards. I was in shorts until it turned colder on Sunday. HEck, we even came close to turning the AC on. It was 85+ degrees in Iowa when we left. So if it's this hot now, what's August going to be like?

Also, nothing like making the drive east with the severe storms on your butt. Then listening to the news on the car radio and hearing the storms that are right behind you dropped tornadoes in Iowa City. I made it to my folks place about 15 minutes before they hit. Whew!

Folks, I'm looking for a new general purpose dump trailer for my farm. I've read the postings about geting a trailer that sits low with wide tracks. But I don't want to be continually scraping the bottom going across ditches and ruts. I don't like the trailer with beds above the wheels for the reasons cited. I'll use it for grain, gravel, and anything else. I already have a good dove tail to haul my backhoe around. Any ideals on dumps about 12-14' with reasonable clearance? Thanks, Dave/

I bought my 87 year old mother a BX1500 3 years ago to mow her nearly 2 acre lawn, replacing her old reliable B6100. The BX1500 is an ideal tractor for the task. It's safe, quiet, easy on the turf, and highly maneuverable. She attaches a small trailer to help her with gardening. My brother uses it with a blade in the winter to keep the driveway clear. A good tractor! Dave/

I have owned a BX23 2 years this June, fast approaching 500 hours. I am very pleased at what this little workhorse does. I mow 5 acres, have cut up and removed 25 trees out of my woods, have trenched hundreds of feet either for running electrical lines, footers replacing ends for field tiles on my 12 acre farm. I have moved at least 60 to 70 truckloads of dirt and stone. Dug up many tree stumps including a few that were 18 to 24 in diameter. I use it in the winter also to clear out my half circle drive during the winter. It has done everything that I have needed it to do so far. Now I will say that digging up the 24 in stump took me longer then I thought and even thought I had possibly bit off more then it would do but it came out.

Art,

In South Carolina Insurance wording "replacement value" means they will replace it with new. Regardless of the cost.

Take something smaller cost normally at tv. It is stolen. Well you paid $1,000 for it. But right away it became used so only worth $700. Now two years old so only worth $250. They would replace your tv with similiar tv being NEW. It may cost more than $1,000 now or it may be less but it is the same as.

Now, some companies play games here. They will not pay the replacement cost UNTILL you REPLACE the property. They will adjust only off of the accutual value.

There can be limits on "replacement" given such as the property must be insured to it full value ie if the tractor is worth $50,000 it must be insured for that. If you happen to have "Guaranteed Replacement Cost" that should be the best option for you. It means regardless of the amount it is insured for or what it cost to replace it, they will.

A point I have made before, insurance is heavy regulated at the state level. So Art's state and my state can be different.

It's any body's guess, but if you have a bigger tractor with a few ponies to spare it doesn't matter, with minimal horsepower however, it's a whole other story.

I help out a couple of neighbours, one who wants the back pasture cut just once per year, mostly to keep the trees from sprouting up, usually in late summer. My 40+ hp Kubota has a real workout cutting it with a 60" bush hog when it's as tall as the hood and as thick as a politician.

I was just strying to point out, that it would be a bunch easier on both the tractor and you to cut it a few times more, that's all.

Best of luck.

Folks,

DO NOT wait for this to go away or for someone else to do the work to defeat it.
I spent less than 10 minutes and I googled each of my Sneators and Congressmen and they each had on their website a form I could fill out and type in my complaint. I demanded that they send the 11 million illegals back and fine the BIG Companies who are hiring them. I cut and psted the message to each of the others. I ask all of you to do the same and get as many people as you can do the same. It will take all of US to send a message to the Government that this needs to stop. NAFTA was bad enough but for them to cross the borders and take jobs as well is way too much. 11 million illegals, how many per state does that add up to? 220,000 that is alot of jobs OUR LEGAL U.S. KIds won't be getting.
