In the interest of tractor safety, please expand on this assertion.

Yes. Most of the time adding external tractor weight increases rear tire traction. While an FEL does add weight and dirt in the bucket adds more, FEL weight in front of the tractor leverages weight off the rear tires, negating some ( all? ) of the FEL weight bearing on rear tires so FEL weight...

Many with four acres find a <26 horsepower, 2,700 pound bare weight tractor, free from the complexity of Tier IV emission paraphernalia, entirely satisfactory. If you can wait for moist soil for culivation, such a tractor may suit you too. Greater than 26 horsepower is necessary to operate...

I want to rip and de-rock the 1-1/2 flat acres left for planting grapes. I know Gilroy fairly well. The task you foresee is beyond a 2,700 pound bare weight L3901 with a Category 1 Three Point Hitch. Hire an intermediate size bulldozer with a ripper for preparation. The cost of hiring a...

I have a Kubota L4330 with 6-inch wheel spacers and ag tires. I thought this arrangement would provide the level of stability I was looking for, but it doesn't. I live on 14 acres of rolling/bumpy land that was previously a tree farm. There are holes all over the place and the land is generally...

Within subcompact and compact tractor categories, a significant tractor capability increase requires a bare tractor weight increase of 50%. It takes a 100% increase in bare tractor weight to elicit MY-OH-MY! Yes, heavier is almost, almost, always preferable to lighter but 100, 200 or 300 pounds...

All the tractors you are considering a <26 horsepower, so they forego Tier IV emissions paraphernalia. I believe all have 100 cubic inch, high torque engines which operate at modest rpm. I believe all have a 3-range HST transmission. I believe all weigh 2,700 to 2,900 pounds bare tractor...

If the tiller is not getting power beyond the slip clutch you may need to tighten the engagement adjustment on the slip clutch. On the slip clutch on my Land Pride rotary cutter this is four nuts on four bolts holding the slip clutch together.

If your BB is much narrower than your tire spread, and you pull in one alley repeatedly, your tires will soon be up on narrow ledges and the centered BB will not touch the ground. Tractor tire weight will mash down minor differences of 1" to 1-1/2" per side. In the attached photo, two years...

Your Box Blade is rigid. The Chain Harrow is a flexible mat. The Chain Harrow mat with points oriented skyward will remain in ground contact and smooth without tearing up the yard. It will not transport much fill dirt but it will smooth.

At this point I'm going to try and level my mother's yard with it. Mainly filling low spots and perhaps working on the grade if it seems necessary. This may not work out well. Box Blades are for moving bare soil. The rigid box blade will tear up the lawn. Better to use topsoil fill deposited...

Probably half of 25-horsepower tractor are powered no more than 60 engine hours per year. Few 25-horsepower tractors in residential/non-commercial use see more than 120 engine hours per year. For low hour operation money for rear hydraulic ports is better spent on carefully researched...

Do not consider trying to adapt your Mahindra for an incorrect, too light implement. Sell the light, narrow width box blade you have. Find a heavy box blade the correct width for the way you intend to use the box blade.

Bucket spades vary considerably in weight. Buy Bucket Spade weight proportional to tractor weight. Light for up to 2,000 pounds bare tractor weight. Medium for 2,500 to 3,500 pound bare tractor weight. Heavy for 4,000 to 5,000 pounds bare tractor weight. If you buy a heavy spade for a light...

ROBBs have three latch positions. 1) to pull soil 2) scarifiers only (this differs from a standard BB which can rip and pull soil at the same time) 3) smooth soil (and) push/bulldoze soil if TPH has strong, rigid stabilizers. ROBB advantage is weight and less need for adjustment if towing...

Specs show the LX2610 to have the same tread width looks like just a rebadged B2650 . It is. Loading the rear tires 50% to 75% with liquid will improve stability.

Nutrition is excellent but consider periodic aeration of your horse pastures too. Hooved animals pack the soil, displacing oxygen. 683818

My tractor is 63" wide at the tires....66" bucket. Do not believe outside-to-outside tire width will be anything until your tractor arrives and you can measure the width yourself. If you have a 66" bucket and your tires are 63" to 66" outside-to-outside order a 66" or 72" wide Box Blade.

I find the hydro on my L48 to be laboriously slow in reverse. That is because you have construction gear ratios. If you had a farm-oriented /60 'Grand L' with a Backhoe, the base from which the L48 is derived, you would have 'faster', higher ratio gearing in both forward and reverse.

Thanks for all the great input. I visited three heavy equipment dealerships today, Case, John Deere, and CAT. No tractors at any of them, but I'm getting an idea of what might make sense monetarily and practically. Would like to pull logs to a mini sawmill (don't have yet), or onto a trailer...

1) Neither tractors nor construction equipment have titles. 2) Construction equipment uses continuous hydraulic power for implements. Construction equipment often has high flow hydraulic pumps. Tractors use mechanical power from the tractor Power Take Off (PTO) to implements. Much more...

I adjust toplink so the back end (tailwheel end) is about 5-6" high. I think I'm doing that right - the rear slightly higher than the front. Anyway for standard cutting on fairly even ground the tailwheel doesn't touch the ground. Reset the tail wheel so it just touches the ground when you...

Bobcat tractors are produced for Bobcat by Kioti. Kioti and LS are the leading Korean tractor brands. Both Kioti and LS are well reviewed on T-B-N. For $7,000 less I would go for the Bobcat/Kioti.

We just bought a 9.36 acre farm. We want a tractor for bush hogging the field, tilling garden, maintaining gravel driveway, moving materials, etc. The Bobcat CT2025 is a direct competitor to Kubota's hugely successful L2501. 2,600 pounds bare tractor weight. 100 cubic inch displacement...

T-B-N primarily discusses tractors lighter than the Kubota M4 and M5. It is doubtful any consumer here can forecast the tractor future accurately a year or two out. I suggest you visit a Kubota dealer and there pose your questions. Pick up brochures on the M4 and M5 during your visit.

It’s still somewhat rough - some sticks, rocks, etc and some areas where a little leveling may help. The traditional implement used to smooth after a Disc Harrow is a Chain Harrow. However: 1) A Chain Harrow smooths but moves very little dirt. 2) A towed mat Chain Harrow is pretty cheap at...

I am very close to buying my first tractor. One of the last decisions I need to make is if I should get the cab version or not. I know most of the time will be spent with the rotary cutter in the open areas. 1. I live in north Florida. I start early and end by 12:00 Noon, avoiding afternoon...

And the Gov't is focusing on this stuff, while murderers, rapists, and thieves (not to mention Covid infected) people cross our borders without any recourse. Emissions KILL. It take awhile but emissions KILL.

A single spindle Rotary Cutter has 50 parts. There are only two blades to sharpen. A similar width Flail has 300 parts. I prefer simplicity in implements. (I have not actually counted the number of parts in either.) I will guesstimate that Rotary Cutters outsell Flails 60:1 in Florida.

Above data makes no sense to me. I think responders later tonight will concur the numbers above make no sense.

1) Determine if your proposed tractor is 2-WD or 4-WD. 2-WD tractors are crumby with Loaders. 2) 963 engine hours in seven years = 120 hours per year. Pretty much indicates owner/operator, non-commercial use, which is good. Larger compact tractor engines like the 5075e regularly go...
