Last week I had decided on a B3200, then talked myself into a BX25, now wondering if the Massey GC2410 might be a better choice. Prior to that I was looking hard at the Yanmar CCs, too. I like the small footprint of the scts, but the extra power of the 3200 is compelling. I will need a mmm 2x a...

I have a large number of trees and shrubs I need to "relocate" from one part of my property to another. I have attempted to do this manually (with hand shovels) in the past, and also tried "scooping up" and transplanting with a FEL. All were dismal failures. Now that I am getting a tractor, is...

Building roads, driveways and trails with a tractor Could someone familiar with the tasks kind of provide the process for building roads/trails/driveways and what attachments/implements are used. I realize this is a very broad topic and there may be multiple methodologies. For example, I...

Can someone explain these to me like I'm a 10 year old girl? What are the advantages? How do they work? Is it mostly a safty feature or is it helpful in productivity? What tasks might they be important for? Any help is appreciated.

It looks like I can get the TYM 433 with FEL, Backhoe, Cab, Mower and post hole digger combo for about $30-32K. That's about what I would pay for a comparable Kioti, MF or NH without the backhoe. So do I take a chance on the new, unproven dealer network to get a free backhoe? Tough decision...

I only have a couple of acres, but I need to do a LOT of fencing, landscaping, trail, driveway and site prep. I definitely need a FEL, HST, box blade, post hole digger, and shredder. I'd like a backhoe, but I really doubt I can fit one in the budget. I am currently zeroed on the Kioti 35SE...

The prices on the Bobcats are just getting too tempting. Because I have no dealer near me, I can price shop anywhere and go pick it up. But what about service and warranty work? I assume I need to deliver it myself to a dealer? THere is a Bobcat dealer in town, but they do not sell the...

I found a 1979 Kubota 7100 with <900 hours parked in a guy's garage today when I was there to buy something else. He said he would sell it to me for $2500. The seat needs replacing and the hydraulics scare me a little- the implement slowly lowers on its own- It comes with a blade and a Kubota...

I have a couple of acres here and it has been mostly overgrown over the past 30 years before I bought it. It was dense with Live Oaks, Lagustrum, Cedars, Chinaberry and Cedar Elms. I rented a bobcat 185 and ahve removed all the cedar, most of the lagustrum and many of the chinaberry trees. In...
