Hi all, I have not posted here in a while. I have been recently looking at some new tractors and realized I have had my 1300D for 3 years now. That was probably the best $2400 dollars I have ever spent. I have put about 75 hours on it and have never been disappointed. I did replace a gear for the PTO shaft that was missing teeth. Did it myself and the tractor has not leaked one drop since I put it back together. It has always amazed me how a 30 year-old tractor that has sat so much does not have a single leak anywhere? One of thes days I will paint it so it looks as good as it runs, the tractor has earned it.

I need a bigger tractor with a FEL/MMM and backhoe now, but I will not part with my Yanmar! That tractor has sat for many months and it always readily starts. I have been plowing a lot of snow this month and it has started in single digit temps.

I definitely got more than I bargained for in this tractor. I am going to be bushhogging 2-3 acres this spring to put in a food plot. Can't wait!
