I have a JD 850 (22 hp 3 cyl D), turf tires, 2wd. Where I am using it is on 52 AC of woods. I pull trees, carry firewood, backblade and pretty soon brush hog with it.
I broke free some cash and have talked myself into a quandry /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif.
The little fella has done everything I ask of him, well mostly /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif and I would like to put a FEL on it. I am real familier with running loaders, grew up on a Case Uni-Loader (started running one at 8, backhoe at 16). The function of a loader I got down, the TYPE for a tractor is another matter, and at 22 hp at the eng and 2wd is it worth it??
I tossed the idea around before and I can get a GB FEL for around 2600 last I checked for it.
The question is, to buy the FEL, or spend some more of my kids inheritance and go 4wd adn more POWER ?
