    Let's talk 1911's

    I'm in the market for a reasonably priced 1911 in the $1000 range, I haven't fired many of them, I did fire a SIG STX 45 and really liked it, I shot it better than any handgun I own.. The STX is from their custom shop, the slide is tight and moves really nicely, the trigger is also very good...

    Anyone Have an Iphone 11 PRO?

    I hate buying phones but they are a necessity these days.. I compare them to trading a car in, you have to know when the time is right financially.. They offered me a bunch of money for my three year old 7 plus so I ordered one. Anyone have one yet? Likes, dislikes?

    Tractor Sizing TRACTOR WEIGHT as ONE (1) CRITERION in TRACTOR SELECTION

    That's some pretty nasty, thick looking brush.. I would buy the ratchet rake and work at it if I had to but I think you will find it will take you a long time will a small tractor clearing brush.. It doesn't look to be rooted all that bad so a lot of it might drag right out, IDK, I like the dog...

    Tractor Sizing TRACTOR WEIGHT as ONE (1) CRITERION in TRACTOR SELECTION

    Okay so I read through it.. My recommendations would be to plan on purchasing a box blade and a ratchet rake. Whichever tractor size you choose should do okay but the smaller tractors will be less capable due to the word "weight", I know weight again, for tearing out roots etc.. IMO, I would...

    Tractor Sizing TRACTOR WEIGHT as ONE (1) CRITERION in TRACTOR SELECTION

    Yes Kioti makes heavier tractors, it makes them better at some things and not at others.. Can you outline exactly what you are planning to use the tractor for? I may have missed it, if you don't mind telling us again.. Did you look at the Massey 1526 at all or are you looking only at the orange...

    Tractor Sizing TRACTOR WEIGHT as ONE (1) CRITERION in TRACTOR SELECTION

    You have to take into consideration guys like this think they have a bull dozer, a tractor with a bucket on it is made to move material. While you can do some light digging with a tractor with a loader it isn't a bull dozer, I have a small dozer and my tractor that's twice it's size doesn't...

    Nice.. That's a good one.. You will get a pretty good idea of what a particular tractor can and can not do..

    Tractor Sizing TRACTOR WEIGHT as ONE (1) CRITERION in TRACTOR SELECTION

    I honestly don't see that happening, I see people reading Jeff's posts and taking what he says into consideration.. If someone comes on here and asks a question and buys the wrong tractor, they didn't do the research needed to fulfill their needs, they need to read, read and read some more not...

    Tractor Sizing TRACTOR WEIGHT as ONE (1) CRITERION in TRACTOR SELECTION

    A little heavier than a SCUT with the same power as a SCUT.. Kinda like my 3025, it's a little weak for it's size IMO but I like it and no tier 4 emissions, I'll put up with the small loss in power to avoid tier 4 any day..

    Tractor Sizing TRACTOR WEIGHT as ONE (1) CRITERION in TRACTOR SELECTION

    Dranrab, any piece of equipment (tractor, truck etc.) that is bigger, heavier are going to do more work than a smaller, lighter piece of equipment. From you're posts you seem to be looking at 1800-2000lb tractors, nothing wrong with that, if it will do what you need to it to do have at it BUT...
