    Broke it already.

    I haven't even had the tractor for one week yet, but I've already put on 17 hours and managed to break off a part today. I was backing the tractor and rotary cutter under the trees overhanging the pasture, and one of the branches decided to grab ahold of the black plastic housing around the...

    Still puzzled - 3130 or 3830?

    I stopped by the NH dealer to test drive the 35D tractor and liked the sloping hood, but didn't like the dual pedal arrangement. Next stop was the Kubota dealer, where I tried the GST and HST models, and really liked the pedal arrangment on the HST, as well as the tilt steering wheel...

    Do I need a tractor?

    I've been lurking around the board for a while, soaking up everything I can, and also have Muhammed's book, but I'm still confused. Last October I bought an older house on some land that used to be a dairy farm operation; it comes complete with silo, hay barn, dairy barn, hog shed, tobacco...
