I joined this forum yesterday, my wife and I live on 5 wooded acres in rural West central Missouri. I have owned a Ferguson TO35 since 1980, which I use to plow and disc my garden, bush hog the brush when it needs it, and occasional dirt and snow blading work.
Quite often, I bring in a load of dirt to keep the landscaping in shape. Recently I got a load of gravel to floor my dog kennel and pole barn.
I searched a bit to try to figure out a better way to move this stuff without wrecking my back. It didn't seem practical to mount a front end loader to the old tractor. I began looking at compacts and sub compacts equipped with loaders. Decent ones are not cheap, I ended up making a deal on a Mahindra eMax 22, to be delivered in the next few days.
I have found a lot of interesting information here.

Welcome from a fellow Missourian. There’s a great thread in the regional forums for Missouri folks.

Thanks, Granthol. I spent my first 11 years in Springfield and on my grandparent's 40 acres near Willard. Grew up driving grandfather's Ford 8N, worked for Ford Tractor for 11 years in KC area before downsizing transferred me to the assembly plant in KC to spend the rest of my career building F150's.
I have been slowly working my way through reading that Missouri thread, there are hundreds...likely thousands of posts.

Welcome to TBN from the Bootheel. A lot of people are skeptical of the abilities of a SCUT, but we have two and they get a lot of evn with all the others we have.
