What about something along the lines of a John Deere X700 series?
That's the easy part actually............Hi again,
After reading the few posts that have been made here so far, you all have confirmed what I already knew. The only way I will be satisfied is if I buy a Sub Compact Utility Tractor. Based on the lifetime return of on a short term budget killer I can justify the purchase of the a tractor.
After reading hundreds of posts I am leaning towards the Kubota BX2360. I am sure the BX1860 would do the job but the added horses will be greatly appreaciated at some point.
Now I am looking for the right combination of attachments. Right now I know I want the 54" fine cut mower with the optional mulcher. On the rear I am looking at getting a rear blade. Seeing those awesome pictures of the snow mountains I am thinking the FEL would not lead me astray, though the snow thrower is still a dream.
I am still looking for advice on swaying the wife, from here "NO" stance to a much softer "okay sweetheart"~k_day64

Hand her a snow shovel and say...........I'll be home at 11 pm friday, have the driveway open.........:thumbsup:
And the other key is.............take her with you, gotta make sure her butt fits the tractor(guy talk).This was easy for me too, she had decided that I needed a tractor before I did. But if she still doesn't budge, rent or borrow something is similar to what you want. You start using it around your place and she'll say, "I didn't know you could do that with a tractor!"![]()

EDIT: be prepared for "sticker shock" if you opt for a used subcut............I was seeing prices for a 10 year old macnine that were 1,000 dollars less than a new one was selling for.
If you get the tractor, your manuevering days may come to an end real quick.:thumbsup:Don,
A majority if the CT potatoes are low enough that I can mow over them with my little JD push mower. There are 3 potatoes that I have to manuever around. So I guess I am really concerned with the manueverabilty. How tight of a turn can a BX2360 make? While going slow?
