    How big of a rock/boulder can a 60 HP tractor push on relatively flat dirt?

    Good morning all. A used one is $170 plus shipping and taxes. It did seem hard to locate a used one as only one place called back.

    Hello all. Has anyone seen this happen before? Looks like there was a stress fracture starting and when I tried to back over an ~8" log it was more than it could take.
