Anyone care to speculate? It appears that my company will be paying a rather tidy sum (20+%) for profit sharing come January, so I may need a place to put it... and what better place than a <font color="brown"> new tractor? </font>

Just wanted you all to know that I had a very good experience dealing with A&I Products. I recently ordered a Radiator plus both upper and lower hoses, and a muffler for my Ford 1700. I ordered on-line last Sunday, and the parts were at my door on Thursday. They were all correct and fit like...

Well, I knew it was coming... but it always seems to arrive at the most inconvenient time. Today, it was finally dry enough to mow, so I fired up the Murray and the Craftsman, did the ditches, along the fence line and creek and around the pond and the house. Then got out big blue to mow the...

Local dealer has one sitting out front with front end loader. Didn't have time to stop today, but may get to go take a closer look tomorrow. Just wanted y'all to know... They're heeeeerrrrreeeeee!

So... what are the differences other than 8" more lift height, and 3 hp more engine on the 425? There must be something else to account for the $2600 difference in price. Thanks in advance.

Why are the Kioti models so much heavier than their counterparts? The CK20HST weighs in at 1993 lbs vs the B7510 at 1357. I've looked at both, and although a side by side comparison isn't possible due to the distance between dealers, they don't seem to be that far apart in size... just weight...

Is the factory 60" MMM for the B7510 a suspended design or is it designed to roll over the ground like most of the after-market rear mount finish mowers? My wife is pushing me towards a new tractor, and I'm looking at the CUTs right now... (currently comparing the B7510 to the CK20) I know...

Do those of y'all who use a FEL on a small tractor, like the BX series (which I am strongly considering), find a need for rear ballast hanging on the 3PH? I see in JD's literature with the 4x10s that they sell, and recommend (chicken and the egg?), a "ballast box" for use with their front end...

I looked at the BX2230 tractor today (also looked at the B7510), and it seems so low to the groud, especially at the front axle. Have any of you, who own the BX series, ever found the slight ground clearance to be a problem? One other thing: Tires. Anyone have traction concerns with the turf vs...

I had the chance to do a little comparison shopping today and took a look at the Kiot CK20 and the JD 4110. Prices quoted were the same ($10,700) for either base HST model (no FEL, or other attachments). If the weather co-operates I'd like to look at the Kubota line tomorrow. I haven't...
