After a long time of looking, I finally purchased a 2003 TC33D with about 1100 hours on it for use around my home on about 10 acres. I got a great deal on the tractor full well knowing it had some issues so I am hoping you guys can point me in the right direction on potential fixes: 1) The gas...

I picked up a nice used JD 6x4 and I'd like to put a roll cage and windshield on it similar to what comes on the newer UTV's. I have seen the one's I can purchase aftermarket but am looking for a more cost effective solution that I can build myself so I wanted to see if anyone has done this to...

I just completed building my home on 5.5 acres and am looking for an inexpensive UTV for use around the property while clearing brush, hauling firewood, mulch, etc. and just simply to tool around on. I don't want to spend a lot as it will sit a good bit and I really do not need 4wd so I am...

I need to add a counter weight kit to my John Deere 317 skidsteer and wanted to see if anyone had any idea of an aftermarket place to get one and how much it would be? I can make one also, but does anyone know how much weight should be added to each side? Thanks,

I am thinking about buying a Piranaha tooth bar for my skid steer and just wondered if anyone had purchased one and how it has held up?

I just started looking at McCormick tractors and came across a 2008 CT47HST w/FEL and about 300 hours for $19k, is this a good price? What should it be? Thanks in advance.

I am back in the market for a tractor and have finally settled on the Kioti DK40 HST w/FEL. I visited my local dealer today and the OTD price with the Free Loader was quoted as $21,999. (NO tax as I qualify for tax exempt status) So, is this a good price and if not, what would a good price be...

Just wanted to get some input as to what you thought a nice, clean 2008 CK35 HST with Kioti FEL, backhoe and 214 hours would be worth?

A local dealer has a TC40D HST w/FEL and 2500 hours listed for $14,300. The tractor is in great shape although I am not exactly sure what year it is. So, is this a good price or should it be better? What would you offer for it?

I came across a 2007 Mahindra 3215 HST with FEL and backhoe that has 570 hours and they are asking $15,500. So, is this a good deal or can it get better? What would you offer for it? It is in great shape.

I am looking to purchace a tractor in the next couple of months and want to be in the 35-45hp range 4wd, with an FEL and hydro drive. Since I am building a new home, I need to keep my costs down and wanted some advice as to what year and models to consider what I should expect to pay? I would...

May have an opportunity to purchase a new 2008 DK45 HST and wanted to get some opinion on it from current owners as well as any differences you see between the 2008 and current model years? Any issues that have come up with the 2008? Thanks in advance.

I have looked at these tractors and the Bobcat tractors so much now that I am starting to forget what is standard and what is not. So, refresh my memory, are a set of rear remotes standard on the DK40 and DK45? How about the Bobcat CT440 and CT445? Thanks,

After reading a lot of posts here for a while I am now getting ready to buy so I figured it was time I join and get some advice from the experts......that would be you all! I have 10 acres of mostly pastures I maintain currently with an old Ford 600 and we are getting ready to build our home...
