Workhorse L35
Model Year: 1996
Great tractor for homestead. It's frame is more stout than plain 35 HP tractors. Of course, the backhoe is removable and the 3-pt hitch arms attach for other implements. I use it with bush hog, tiller, and a 4' boom flail mower (the boom mower is at the 3-pt hitch max capacity...but it still does the job). I took my chances with this tractor as it was a rental. Had to replace the hydraulic pump and the clutch, but it has been rock solid otherwise.
Pros: Heavy duty frame, proven mechanical systems, integrated canopy and 4 pt ROPS easily fitted with plexiglass or protective screen.
Cons: "Industrial looks", hard to find another larger tractor with the same capabilities without buying a L39, 43, etc. No quick connect bucket.
