Topic

I am completely new to the world of tractors and the joys of home ownership. I have a 3 acre yard that is a mixture of wooded lot and areas of grass. The whole lot is on a slope of varying gradient probably form 10 to 22 degrees. My main objectives for any machine would be to be able to mow in the summer and clear snow effectively from a 250 ft surfaced driveway. Over the next few years I intend to re-landscape the lot, clear some of the wooded areas, build a garage into the hillside and build some dry stone walls. I have about $10,000 to spend and could stretch to more if the arguments were good enough to convince my wife! I want to get a compact tractor that is not overkill but would be a good investment to assist in the yard projects. So I am open to advise. Is a compact tractor even the right way to go? I particularly would like to know how many hours is too many on a second hand compact and any recommended second hand dealers.

I use Farm Bureau for all of my insurance. They provide me with $16000 worth of coverage for my tractors and implements for $87 a year. I have a $100 deductible and I'm covered for overturn, collision with stationary and nonstationary objects, flood, collapse of culverts, theft, all acts of nature and most importantly, RIOTS! And many more incidents as well.

Auction prices are as follows:<br>Low: $4592<br>Average:$5772<br>High: $6171<br>The loader and Power steering would add additional value. Hope this information helps and Good Luck!<br>

Chip, I recommend additional considerations with your search. I recently had an opportunity to pit my newly aquired Kubota B7300 w/loader and backhoe head to head against a JD855 in a 3 day emergengy

If you really want a tractor, you may want to consider a slightly smaller unit made by Kubota for a lower cost, and gain performance.
Now the plug for the dealer where I got mine: Carver Equipment gave me a great deal, and shipped it to Washington State on time and on budget. Excellent service and integrity from a dealer 3000 miles away... "> which do I need Kubota B20 vs JD 955

First , no it should be ok weight-wise since the majority of the weight of a sickle bar mower is behind the tractor on the 3pth. Second, don't try to use it for ANYTHING but what it was designed for, mowing hay. However tempting it may be, do not try to cut road-sides, ditches, hill-sides, etc. with it. After some 20+ years of landscaping I have seen COUNTLESS sickle-bars used this way, usually their life expectancy can be counted in hours after starting that kind of work. Lastly, I question the 4000lbs figure, I think you are under-estimating your machine's bulk, especially with cab & loader.........

Larry;<br> I have a JD 755 the predecssor of the 4100. Approximately the same size. I made a counter weight of about 900-1000 lbs. out of cement for the 3pth. easy to take off for mowing. I don't have any weight in the tires. I've heard putting on and taking off wheel weights are knuckle busters. If you need any more info. just e-mail me.

As a landscaper who maintains about 20 miles of private roads for customers, the easiest, nicest, most convenient way to accomplish this is to mount a truck-type snow plow either 1)inside loader bucket, or 2)instead of loader bucket, we use the second method here. The main thing is the blade MUST able to

I've used 2 terramites from rental company's the gas and diesel versions and I have to say they were extremely akward and not very efficient. The diesel was brand newq and within the first couple hours the throttle broke and a hydraulic hose developed a leek, neither were due to abuse. Ive used kubotas and the dig-it, the di g-it is a much better machine, extremely easy to operate.
