About 2.5 acres of lawn the rest heavily wooded with more and more feld trees each year.

Exactly right. If I got a tractor, I'd want something that can handle moving feld trees as well as installing and maintaining a small food plot/garden

Silly question, but here it goes. Which would be most ideal for a 6 acre property with long driveway, mature trees, snow removal, and making and maintaining a small veggie garden. A midsize backhoe with loader or a midsize tractor with backhoe and loader?

I just called the Yanmar dealer in my area and they are sold out of the YT235. I pretty sure that you are right about the SA425 doing what I need it to do but I would rather have more than enough power for those "just in case" situations.

Great information, thanks for sharing. Curious - what made you choose a snowplow over a snow blower attachment?

I want a Kubota or Kioti. However, the Yanmar 35HP tractor seems more economical, especially with the 10 year powertrain Warranty. I am interested in hearing your experience with the Yanmar tractors. This would be used on 6-7 acre property for snow removal, and moving fallen trees, and...

The I tested the Yanmar 324 because that was the only model available on the lot. What are your thoughts/experience with Yanmar?

I forgot to mention thr models that I've looked at so far... ALL HAVE FRONT LOADERS KiotI CK10SE HST @ $24000 LS MT225S @ $17,700 LS XR315H @ $25,000 LS XR315HC @ $28,000 LS XR3140HC @ $31,600 YANMAR 324 Massey Ferguson MFGC1725 @ $15,800 Massey Ferguson MFGC1725MB @ $21000 I will update after...

Ok you all have been very helpful with your insight and suggestions. So far I have tested an Kioti, LS, and a kabota. Today I took a test drive on a Ferguson Massey today and I really liked the ride. Salesman stated that their radiator and engine were installed to face away from the front of...

What is that? I like it

Looked at the LS and Kioti today. Is it common practice for the dealer to change the quoted price to a larger amount when you ask about 0% financing? The dealer told me it would me 4.3% for the LS and I'd loose the rebate too, and 0% for the Kioti but works out to 3.5% intrest and I'd loose the...

Thanks for the information. Kubota and Yanmar have 0% financing which is pretty attractive even though the prices are no so pretty. I'll check out the TYM form next.

I came across an ad for a new 2021 TYM 574 55HP with front loader, and A/C cab @ $34,700 I am still looking to make my 1st tractor purchase. I looked at a kubota but pretty expensive, Yanmar was not really impressed. I am going to look at a KIOTI tomorrow. I am to cautious to buy a used...

I won't need it for cutting grass because I already have a zero-turn mower. I want it for plotting flower and veggie beds, moving fallen trees ( some are lot of the mature trees are dying), re-grading gravel driveway, moving dirt to level out low area, too old to lift large items like I used to...

I moved out of suburbs to 6 acres - 3 acres with trees and 3 with lawn. I looked at the Kubota B2650 and B3250 with cab. I need a back and front loader, and something to redo my gravel drive way... which would you recommend? Or would a Kioti or Mahindra is better? They seem more economical...
