Larger HST tractors?

[jinman]

Does anyone make an HST tractor with at least 50 PTO h.p. and AT LEAST least 17 g.p.m. auxiliary hydraulic systems?

I don't need a tractor for plowing or heavy pulling. I need a 'tool carrier' to operate different attachments

What you are describing is not a tractor. It's a skidsteer loader. You won't find a better "tool carrier" than a skid steer loader.

This might just get you there, too ---

M59 Intruction - Carver Equipment Company

Especially if you're lookin' for a machine with 3pt. capabilities.

Ya, The Kubota M59 is going to be the closest you will find in a HST. Plenty of hydraulic flow, but a little bit short on PTO HP at 46hp. The kicker with the M59 is that it is a construction unit and is pretty expensive. If i remember right they are around $55k.

The only one I know of still in production is made by Claas. It is the old Renault Ergos.

I am doing a side-by-side test drive this week of the Kubota L5740 vs.
the JD 4720. Very similar machines, similar weight, HST, etc. NH has
no 55hp tractor with HST, so it is out.

The impl hyd flow on the JD is better, but it is 12GPM. 17.1GPM is the total
flow incl power steering. The implement flow on the Kub is only 9.8. Both
quote PTO hp at 50.

I think JINMAN is correct....you need a skidsteer for real hyd flow much
higher. Or an industrial TLB as AKFISH says.

Amazingly, the prices are close, too. I have no Kub/JD prejudices here.
Anyone else make this comparison?

dfkrug,

I just did the same comparison - you might want to see my thread in the Kubota forum:

Thx for pointing that out. It is exactly what I am looking for.

Sure. Feel free to send me a note if you have any specific questions.

I'm not sure of the age but i remember late 70's/early 80's the "IH HYDRO 84" they were a flop but a few were around i never used one but i presume it was a IH844 with a hydro...?
They were worth nothing quite new...?
