If you are willing to look at Kioti, I would suggest TYM as an upgraded alternate. Was quite impressed by the machines and pricepoint...

Sorry Carl but what is a TYM?

TYM is another brand of tractor. It's Korean and they appear to be in the same league as Kioti quality-wise. I haven't seen any in person.

Hi Z,
Thank you for definition. Just got back from a great trail ride and actually rode my 3 year old filly for the first time; which was wonderful. I made sure I got pictures so my guys would believe me. GRIN... My friends still need to email the pictures to me. Anyways sure is looking like fall here, but I can due without the 88 degree days that have popped in on us. I'll be intouch later; on my way to Florida Tuesday and since I was away playing I have some catching up to do.

Hope all is well with everyone.

Hi GUys,
At this point I am thinking to give up on the round bales and buy some more hay feeders to throw the extra hay out in the winter. So in saying that, I found a used Kubota L3130 hst, ag tires loaded, loader, and 130 hours. It was used by on older gentleman that is moving back to the city. I can get it for 16000 and can be delivered. I would like to believe the dealer is being up front about everything. I was thinking of paying 150 dollar to have them go over it in detail before buying it out right. The dealer said it was really clean and was well taken care of; I still need to go see it. I don't think there is any warranty involved either.
I did get a pricing for the L3240 which replaced the 3130 from what I've been told for 19,300 w/ag tires filled, LA 724 and warranty.
So I could save 3 grand and get attachments, and extra hay feeders. Oh I guess I would be saving more then that, because I would technically be buying it from a private owner and no tax so maybe add another 1000 to the savings to make it 4K.
Also it may be rumor I don't know for sure, but would the hst on the 3240 be improved over the 3130? I"m a little hung up on the warranty thing too.

Ah, decisions, decisions!!

Me I'm into square bales...more labor involved but your equipment demands are down sized...

And better utilization of barn storage space...I can put my bales on the second floor with a hay elevator...

Well guys I did! Enjoyed 4 hours on it the first day and many more to come!
Let the work horse work!! HUbby jumped on and did great as well. HE already will be getting some river rock for me to dump on Friday to purdy up the yard. He hasn't quite said, " we should have done this 4 years ago", but that's okay I can tell he's happy. I guess I kinda forgot how to get pictures on here at a normal size, but am working on it.....I'll figure it. Oh, I see its there! Don't go if you have dial up the darn pictures is tooo big. I'll try and resize it.


Thanks for those articles Paul it was good reading!

See ya

Thanks Z I'm glad its over and I can get to work now. Just a couple of days of cold rain and then sunny. Fall clean up will commence and we'll be looking good here. Yes, it really beautiful now up here, rolling hills with all the color. I don't think we have peak yet, but probably by the end of the week we will.

All is good
