Normally anyone with a regular Utility tractor that does any ag work can post here. In your case you need at least 100 pto hp /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif How is the 7610 working out for you? Ready to buy more land yet?

Traditional row crop farmers utility tractors are 100+ HP. But the hay & livestock farmers and ranchers here use 35-100 HP tractors. That really leaves out most of the CUT's but the largest compact tractors are and can be used. There is nothing exclusive about this forum come as you are.

The wifes looking at the 10ac parcel adjecent to us. The owner is in the middle about selling it.. so we may have more land in the near future ( couple years? )

Good to hear. But when you get the 10 acres in a couple years, might you need a larger tractor /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I would be happy to take the 7610 off your hands /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Now I be confused. Nothing new.

I thought it a six or seven step ladder just to get the base where you could get into the cab so you could watch at least 8 driving tires. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Well.. i used a little less than a quarter tank of fuel today.. and that was at 2.5 hours at pto speed My NH 1920 used about a quarter to 3/8's a tank at 4 hours of pto speed.

Course.. 1920 tank is 10gal.. and 7610 tank is ? 15-20 gal?

And 7610 is nearly 3X the Hp of the 1920....

All in all I'm happy.. I cut today in half the ime it normally takes me.
