Hi all - I'm currently have a terramite T5c compact loader/backhoe which I use for small tree planting, trenching, general light excavation and clearing, etc.... It is a nice machine, but I am ready to trade up.
I would like to upgrade to a tractor with loader and backhoe implements and mowing deck. I need it to be real strong, bigger that the T5c and more powerful with greater digging depth (the 'mite digs 8'5"), and able to be towed behind a standard full size PU on a 10,000 GVW trailer. I have a flexible budget for this machine and would like it to be easy to operate, feature rich and very reliable. I'm partial to Deere, but open to suggestions. Any advice? Also, any thoughts on the value of the 'mite? It has 140 homeowner hours and is a 2001 machine with high floatation tires, quick release bucket, and was recently serviced by an authorized dealer - ready to work.
