Tractor
Bolen G174
I bought this tractor used in Oct 2002 near Montreal and hauled it 400 miles in a pick-up truck to northern Quebec.
It has a fair size bucket and I fabricated a Lexan glass cabin to work outside during the winter months. Bolted to the PTO I installed a 200lb weight to act as a counter balace to the bucket. Without it, the tractor is tippy with a loaded bucket. It has been very useful in clearing and leveling my home lot of approx. 125 x250 feet which needed a lot of fill and tree removal.
In the winter I use it mostly to haul snow away from the street to the back of the house where it can stay until spring.
Mechanically it has been very dependable. The only repair to date was the starter which a local shop replaced the brushes.
