It looked like the 'bota 2710 was for me, but it is delayed due to the backhoe frame part not showing up... so I'm still shopping. I just drove a used JD 770 with only 125 hours on it... SST trans/70 loader/#7 hoe. Great shape. Asking $19,500, which seems at least $1,500 high. Any comparable info? I know that the 2710 is nicer tractor: HST trans and nicer user interface, bit more HP (but doesn't HST rop HP?). What to do, what to do?

Folks, I've been obsessing over my tractor purchase for a year, its alot of bread for toys. Need some advice to help go forward. Been looking mostly at Boomer and Kubota since these are the biggest and nearest dealers to me. Here is my situation:<br>-I have 5 acres with a 1/4 mile drive at 12% grade, I currently use a Wheelhorse GT with 42

-Have Front blade for snow and also front snowblower which is pain to put on and only install if we get heavy snow (heavy with the WH=>5" :-)) Blade is better than blower if snow slushy or light fall less than 5". Otherwise have to use blower. In either case The machine is too small for the grade and loses traction with chains and only 2wd no limited slip. I am looking to use Compact with loader and rear blade as replacement.
Objectives for New Tractor:
-Mow lawn in half the time
-easily clear 1/4 mile drive of snow all at once rather have to go out for each 3" increment
-Use loader for stone dust, loose dirt movement, mulch, other landscaping chores
-Bottom line 70%mowing, 20%loader, 10%snow
What I'm looking at:
-Kubota B2710, L3010
-Boomer TC21, TC 29
Mower:
-Landpride Tunnel 2560 60" 3PH
Concerns:
-None of my property is flat, about 6%+ grade everywhere, the rear mowers weigh about 550# so is heavier tractor better, you know light tractor with heavy implement would be tail wagging the dog. So would the TC29 or 3010 be better, than the lighter units?
-on this size property would a 3Pt mower be a pain versus a belly? If I go with a Belly how can one man push a 550# mower under it even though the wheels rotate it still weighs a ton?
-If I buy the tc29 or l3010 size Tractor, when I mow I go about 200 feet to 300 feet in each row most of the time, but sometimes only 100 feet (its not perfectly square). What is better 3pt or belly for these dimensions? Am I going too big.
-When I looked at the Boomers the Turf tires on the tc21 had alot less bite than the Turfs on the much larger Tc29, would the more aggresive turf tires on the tc29 make it unnecssary to buy the R4's for snow removal needs?
-Which Tractor would be the best for the 1/4 paved drive snow removal?
Sorry about rambling on with 10 questions all at once, but that's what I'm thinking about. Any help appreciated. Really love this board, Thnaks.

The L2500 is the old rough around the edges

The L2500 4wd new goes for about $11250 brand new and naked. Check prices at http://www.carverequipment.com/. I also got a Price at Rhinehart Equipment in GA for $10700.
The new L3010 goes for about 13,300 new 4wd with Live PTO, if you got the cash you can't go wrong, or look at the great Boomer TC29 or Deere 4200 - 4300

The lift capacity is what really matters. Things get weird with the stablity of your tractor if you are lifting anything above a third of your tractor's weight if you don't have a counter weight. Think of breakout capacity as your safety factor as your load you are lifting is moving (going up!). Moving loads have a shock effect, the practical expression is that it will make a load seem much heavier (get on an elevator by yourself and jump - the car will move!). The larger the difference between the max load & the breakout, the better the safety factor against bending something on your loader. <br>As far as what was said earlier, the breakout force should be measured from your bucket, where the load is. As as it being from ground level, true. That is where your bucket has the greatest reach from the tractor & pins on its

I've been away a while. You have a backhoe huh? That is the way I'd go for trees of this size. Get a good grab around some roots around the bottom and give'm a good pull. Two or three grabs ought to lift the whole mess out. I've also put a chain up as high as I could reach for leverage and drag the tree out. I do this where I can't get a mower. Rootless is better than any kind of stump, but mowing/sawing is faster. It depends if you want to put up with the stumps until they rot out. As far as regrowth - I mow several times a year. It takes care of them and they usually die by the second season.<br>I guess I'm saying here is that there are several ways, depending on your stituation and what you want to put up with when you are done. <br>Lee

If this a one time job, I'd probably go with the back blade. You will get tons more use with it in the long run and it's cheaper. However, the box is better for this application. <br>Lee

I decided on Mobil's Delvac 1 for use in my tractor after researching the various synthetic and non-synthetic oils available for diesel engines. Mobil's website has a wealth of information about the product, how it compares to conventional motor oil, etc.. Suggest visiting http://www.mobil.com/business/cvl/onhighway/product_services/delvac1/d_faqs2.html Good luck :-))

Guy, I have the same type situation, and I opted for the Deere 4200 4x4 hydro with the 420 loader and R4 tires. I use a 5' full-floating finish mower. 4+ acres of yard with trees and natural areas. My 4200 is on order and am currently using my other compact tractor to do the job. Good luck. Kevin

The Loader is NOT a Quick Attach type, so you would leave it on at all times. Since it dosen't come off easy it is also alot more heavy duty than the easy off type. These tractors are specifically designed to be more rugged for Loader Backhoe work and have higher capacity hydraulics as well with a live PTO.
