I am looking to buy a larger tractor hopefully in '06. Will most likely be between 45-65 PTO HP. Currently I am looking at all brands in my area, driving, reading specs, talking to lots of people. The reason there is such a range in PTO HP is I am still deciding what all I want to do verses what I need.
So I don't want to talk tractor brand yet, that will be a later post.
One thing I am not sure of is the number of rear remotes. I have seen everything from 1 to 6 on this size tractors and I know it will be determined by what attachments I will need.
My experience has been,since I was 13 years old, with Ford 8N, 600, 3000 and no rear remotes. I still remember my dad pulling me around behind the 600 on a horse drawn cutter working the hay fields.
Can you enlighten me on the number of rear remotes you have and how many rear remotes you need for certain implements. Example: how many for round baler? I know for a rear blade with adjustment you would need at least 1, how about TnT, bat-wing mower, what about a back hoe... not sure I would need one at this time but want the remotes there incase I do. I will have a FEL but use mid remotes for it.
I have around 50 acers for pasture and/or hay, square or round undecided,(family land). I also have 50 acers 80-90% wooded for my new house so I will be cutting trails, landscaping, plowing, bush hog, adding to the 5 acre bottom for garden, pumpkins, corn, etc. May keep the 3130 may not.
So tell me what you got, how many you use and/or need.
