My TC18 has already proved to be the ideal tractor for my site. If I had all the money I needed, I'd have a mini-excavator, a rough terrain fork lift, a scissors personnel lift, a boom personnel lift, a gator or similar atv vehicle, a hay wagon and a dump truck. And, maybe a Bobcat 763 or similar with a bunch of attachments. As long as I'm dreaming, the dump truck would be a Unimog because they're so cool.

If it was available and the means were accessable to me I would buy the " TRACTORMAN " a tractor that could be driven to the infinities of the universe. The next step would be to purchase one for myself and depart for an exploration trip of the universe to see first hand all the infinite number of toys I look at each night while laying on my back and gazing upward. Shucks, I might even take along a book with 12 chapters in case boredom struck.

Lets see... more like 3 tractors.... A 4610 w/ power reverser with fel and backhoe, ....Another 4310 w/ ehydro, fel and backhoe, and a 4310 ehydro w/ a snowblower and curtis cab. Also, all machines except 4310 snow machine would have Top n' tilt and 4in1 buckets all around plus standard buckets and every machine would have a set of pallet forks, every size of buckets for the 48 backhoes also. All of the options on each machine, extra lights, guards, etc. Also every type of tire, R3, R4,R1, one of each set per machine. Not to mention an MX 5 cutter, an MX 6 cutter, two boxblades, two rear blades, two rmm's, and two post hole diggers, and two pro6 Harley rakes. Everything is faster when multiplyed by 2. So i guess that would about do it..... oh yeah a new Kenworth W900L Truck-Tractor with a 600 CAT and a 50 ton Rogers lowbed to move all of this equipment. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif

If money isn't an issue, then three tractors, a trencher and a mower.

First a dozer with a 6 way blade in the 80 hp range with a cab. Maybe a JD 550 or Cat D4.

Next an 4X4 80 hp Loader Backhoe with cab. Either a NH 75.b or a JD 310.

For brush hogging and 3pt work I'd want something in the 65 hp range minimum, 4X4 with the heaviest industrial attachments I could find. I'd look at either JD or Kubota with a cab.

The cab would really be nice on all those tractors. Climate control and protection from insects and branches.

A backhoe is nice for big work, but a ride along trencher with a six way blade is really nice for water lines, electrical and any other trenching.

For finish mowing I'd look at a professional zero turn diesel mower. Kubota makes a real nice one, but so do others.

In the end if I was buying with out worrying about money, I'd stick with one brand for ease of dealer relations. I'd look serious at John Deere.

$250,000 and you'd be all set.

Good Luck,
Eddie
