- Kubota Tractor Loader L3560 HST+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 3,700 pounds bare tractor, 5,400 pounds operating weight, 37 horsepower
The minimum weight tractor you will need is 4,000 pounds bare tractor weight.
Depending on what you grow a tractor of 5,000 pounds or 6,000 pounds bare tractor weight may be more appropriate.
When considering a tractor purchase, bare tractor weight first, tractor horsepower second, rear axle width third, rear wheel/tire ballast fourth.
Every major make has a machine that will do the job(s) you want. Check out your nearby dealers, and go with one you have confidence in.
A great machine with no support nearby is a hastle to repair and maintain. A good machine can't make a lousy dealer into a good one.
