I'm considering the TYM T25 now and would be interested in this Bercomac snowblower. Do you put the undercarriage on at the start of winter and remove it in the spring? How long does it take to install and remove the undercarriage? Bercomac does not have videos for the installation of the...

The ground clearance is measured to the center of the wheel? I'm more interested in the clearance when I'm straddling a rock etc. while moving over it. My JD has the hydraulic filter right in the center of the machine and only 8ish inches off the ground. I knew this early on and have always been...

I looked at a T25 today and was impressed. I only glanced under the tractor and it seemed to look as expected. When I got home, I looked at the brochure and it specs the ground clearance for the T25 as being less than 8 inches, which is about the same as my subcompact JD. I should've crawled...

Are Mahindra owners having lots of troubles with parts and service?

The Mahindra 2126 could be a tractor that would work well for me. But I saw some user videos that said this model has many quality issues. Of course, the dealer videos say its fantastic. I do have a dealer nearby that's been in business for a long time and I think would provide good service...

It sounds like replacing all four tires of any tread pattern with four new tires of the same size of a different tread pattern may not always work. And maybe even the same tread pattern could be a problem. This seems really f'd up to me. Kinda like bicycle tires where a 26 x 1.75" tire and a 26...

I think the 1M.25 replaces the 1526 series, but I don't know much about MF series of tractors. So I can swap in R14s for R4s if I can find the same size? Can the height from the rim to the top of the tread vary for the "same size" tires? And could that cause problems? Initially, the tires were...

This is cut an pasted from the quote. • MF1E.25H Hydro Tractor • MF1E.25 - HST Platform • F27x8.50-15 6PR / R15x19.5 6 • FL2407 SS Loader - 60" Bucket

I didn't mean to imply that I would base my decision on tires, but I do consider the R14s a plus. There are pluses and minuses for every model of tractor. And those have to be weighed in the final decision. The quote that I have for the 1E.25 shows R15 x 19.5 6. It doesn't specify, but I'm...

Thanks for the inputs. I am only planning on loading the rear ... if any. These MF models are hard to find right now. But if I decide that one of them is a match for what I want, then I think looking at the Kubota's offerings and possibly copying the tire sizes is a good idea. I am also...

I am looking to upgrade, and two of the possibilities are Massey Fergusons. The 1M.25 and 1E.25. I want to get R14 tires for snow, but R14s are not available in these models. I asked the salesman to see if MF would be offering R14 in the near future. I think that MF offers R14 on some models...

Thanks for your detailed replies. I don't understand the steering issue. I thought that it would be like driving in reverse normally. Is it because the blower is on the ground that changes the steering. I have always had 2 stage snowblowers. I am looking at the MK Meteor 2 stage, but am in no...

Can a 25HP small compact such as the Kioti CX2510 handle the pull blower through deep, say 12", snow? I am still skeptical. During big storms I usually clear the driveway after 10ish inches and then again after the storm. But, it is possible to get more overnight when I'm too lazy to get up and...

I've seen videos of the pull blowers, but always with 4 or 5 inches of snow. How do they work with 12 inches? I always make an effort NOT to drive over the snow because I don't want to pack it down. I have a very steep grade and need to get the pavement as clean as possible. 4WD cars and trucks...

My grand daughter (missing a sock) and my old girl. I say we are the same age now. She is 10 years old .... we think.
