Greetings, I'm an :confused2
ld guy from Redding, Ca. and currently do not have a tractor. For a short time I owned a 2001 New Holland TC 25d with FEL. I'm currently in the market for a new tractor. I have been considering the following tractors with gear drive shuttle shift and FEL, LS 3010, Mahindra 3016, and Kioti CK27. My wife liked the LS 3010 best of all but unfortunately the LS 3010 has been discontinued and there are no more available in our area. My local dealer says the the LS 3033 has replaced the LS 3010 but there are several features on the LS 3033 that I don't care for. The tractor will be used for cutting approximately 10 acres of natural grasses (some call them weeds) on rolling rough terrain, replacement for pushing a wheelbarrow hundreds of feet per year, restoring and grading 10 acres, gravel driveway grading and repair, and anything else that I can use a machine to do. I'm a pensioner so money is a limiting factor. The implements that are on my must have list: rough terrain rotary cutter or
licking:flail mower $$$$), and a box scraper. The implements on my dream list to start are: rototiller, disc, backhoe, post hole auger,etc. I have enjoyed the TractorByNet forums and found them to be my favorite source for all tractor information. I even found one of our local tractor dealers participating on the flail mower thread. So I'd like to hear your advice and opinions on my tractor choices. Thanks to the folks that offer TractorByNet and provide a :thumbsup: great service! Solinski
