I was raised on a farm with large tractors, but now I've added a compact (JD970). I love this little tractor; it's a diamond in the rough! It's great for those tight spots, such as wooded areas. The JD970 4W with the 419 FEL and 7' back-blade have performed very well; like a little mule. I do wish to add other implements. My next purchase will be a box blade and a backhoe. As with anyone, quality and price are important! Right now my question is, what size BB and BH? THANKS!
