Hello from the Eastern Canadian Prairie's

Hi I'm Bert I live in Southeastern Manitoba, Canada I'm looking at getting my first tractor in the next year or so depending on a few things that are up in the air right now. The plans are to use it to start a small excavation business and to get in to firewood processing for the 'leaner' months.

Its nice to have you here with us and we reside on the south shore of da BIG lake. So are you in the lake Agassiz basin?

Yeah I'm near Steinbach my wife is a french-immersion teacher nearby and I've been a Heavy Equipment Operator for about 20 years now. I'm working on going on my own now and starting with an L47 or M62 seems to be the most flexible route to start.

M62 if you can afford it.
Looks like a fantastic machine!

They cost around $83,000 CAD so I'm not sure a cab from Curties Industries is over $7,000USD so that brings the price up considerably on top of the attachments and implements I'd like to get. I looked at getting a used L45 or M59 but the financing isn't as good as Kubota's financing for a new machine.

We have snow grooming/skiing friends near Morden. Now that's farm land! I'm from the ag industry within the Missouri river basin in South Dakota.
