    Short Term Tractor Purchase

    I have kind of a weird situation. I need a compact loader tractor to do a bunch of work on a neglected property that I purchased, but once that work is done I won't really need the loader anymore. Therefore, I am thinking about buying a used tractor this spring, using it all summer, and then...

    Price Check  Price Check on BX2660

    Got a quote of $13,222 (not including tax) today on a BX2660 with 60" MMM, 48" bucket, and grill guard. Does that seem about right or is there room to move there. Location is Iowa. Thanks.

    What is going on with this web site?

    Is anybody else having this problem? When I go to the main forum index, where you can see the listing of all forums, the last post shown in the 3rd last column is not actually available in the forum. I can click on the last post and read it fine, but if I click on the forum link, the latest...

    Finally going to take a look at Kioti

    The nearest Kioti dealers are both about 200 miles away from me, so I have not had the chance to look too closely. This coming Tuesday, work is taking me right near one of the dealers, so I plan on spending some time there looking at the CK20HST and the CK25HST. I have spent time locally...

    Financing special - does it really expire?

    Right now all of the compact tractor manufacturers are offering 36 month 0% financing, with some variations. Is it a safe assumption that there will always be some sort of incentives available? I am not planning on buying until late this year or early next, can I assume there will be...

    JD2320 vs. Massey 1528

    I am early in my search yet, but if I had to buy today I would either buy a JD2320 or a Massey 1528. I know I am not exactly comparing apples to apples, but I think either would meet my needs. In addition to these two, I looked at NH (higher cost) and Kubota (not enough room - I'm a big guy)...

    What is the powerflow option?

    Looking at a new 2320, and there is one option that I am not familiar with. What is the powerflow option, and what would I need it for? Joe

    Tranny driven vs. independent pto?

    Some of the new compact tractors that I have been looking at have a transmission driven PTO (New Holland), and some have an independent PTO (Deere). I know that mechanically the difference is that one requires the clutch and the other is hydrolic and does not require a clutch. What difference...

    How far would you drive..........

    ............to save $1000 on a compact tractor? At this point it is more of a hypothetical question than anything, since I don't have two firm quites in hand, but it seems like there is a great deal of variation in prices from area to area. I have really just started looking, but I'll give you...

    One tractor, or tractor and rider?

    Okay, the search begins. Some of you saw my tread about losing weight, and there is a good chance, (okay, a chance anyway), that I will be buying a tractor next spring. One of the suggestions in that thread was that I should take my time and do some shopping, so when the time comes I know...

    75 Pounds - Worth it?

    Let me start by saying that I wear the pants in the family. Let there be no doubt about that! Now that I've cleared that up, I'll tell you what has been going on. I've been lurking for some time, and have come close to pulling the trigger on a compact tractor a couple of times, but something...
