Ive just about talked myself into pulling the trigger on a new B3200 w/a loader and a couple of attachments. But the only concern is downtime, I dont have much time to play on my property, It may sit for two to three weeks at a time, more during winter months (although i am sure i will use it to push snow around) Is there any concerns? Or is diesel more stable than the s*** gas we have to deal with now? Will be stored in heated pole barn if it makes a difference.

Also while I am asking, is woods the consensus of who's brushhog to get? Would like US or Canadian based is possible. Was looking at the BB48X



Thanks!

Diesel is WAY more stable than most gasoline today. That said, you may still consider stabilizer. Tractor will sit fir weeks and wait for you to visit. It will always be glad to see you.

I put on an average of just over 100 hours every year. 2-3 weeks without being used won't hurt anything. I think your biggest question should be "Do I really need a tractor?" It's a lot of money to tie up if you won't use it much. We have a small horse operation, fields to mow, gardens to plow, snow to move, firewood to haul, etc. I can't see us living here without a tractor. That's your question for yourself, I guess.
