| gord | this will probabaly open a can of worms but.... is there a chart of sorts to kind of line up the various models and sizes across the various manufacturers and their lines (amybe a "consumers reports" type of format?) i am looking at what i would call a medium compact tractor (looked at a NH 1724 (forget the exact number, but it was 01, 24hp) and it looked to be on the outer limits of what it could do. So looking at 25hp and up, something more than a glorified lawn tractor (whihc this NH looked like) but i do NOT need a really heavy duty one either operating a BH, FEL, mower, snowblower, scarper blade, etc. aroudn a 10acre parcel of land doing landscaping, work around the house, dig small ponds, etc. I THINK i have narrowed to Branson, Kubota, NH, and JD as these seem to be the more reliable and strong units. I ma not hearing alot of good long term reliablity on the Chinesse tractros (Jinma, Foton, etc.) and we only want to buy once and i would rather have something that has a BIT more than we need vs. pushing one that meets the needs and we push it hard and keep breaking thoughts, comments, |
| rich2 | Sounds like you already narrowed it down. Some people feel a local dealer with good service is the best bet. A thought, if you don't need a backhoe all the time, you could just rent one for the time it takes to do the project. Otherwise it would be a bother to remove it if you need to do mowing, etc. Good luck, lots of used tractors around, just search the internet. SSB has tractors and contacts. |
