Re: Looking for a \"30/30\" diesel tractor
The deeres you mention are compacts, made by Yanmar .. and although they are way lighter than the Massey 135/150, they are tough as nails. I guess I gotta admit that if you already have the kubota, the deeres of that range will not be terribly different - so it might make sense to stay with heavier iron. It is bigger money and HP, but the 2000 series deere utility tractors from the 80s are my favorite general farm tractor...we have a 26XX on the farm next door that is a great all-use machine, numbers are worn off and I cant remember the model /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif
