No doubt you are right. I'm in the market for a new tractor. I'm considering upsizing mine to one about that size just for bigger mowing jobs and light tillage and who can forget the cab?It's 59 HP, 51 or 52 at the PTO. Big difference going from geared 25 horsepower open station to air condition 59 horsepower. Much smoother and a whole lot nicer moving hay at 9:00 at night when it's still 97° outside.

I agree on the cab part. I grew up on my grandpa's farm doing loader work and field work and only the loader had a canopy. That old Massey was just me and the sun all day long. Maybe because I'm getting older I really opted for the cab. But the view all around and not having to fight bugs at night or wear a mask all day long from the mowing dust flying everywhere, sure is nice. I have zero trees on my property, so the cab was an easy option not having to worry about low-hanging limbs or anything like that.No doubt you are right. I'm in the market for a new tractor. I'm considering upsizing mine to one about that size just for bigger mowing jobs and light tillage and who can forget the cab?That would sure be a nice addition during wet/cold/hot or dusty and windy conditions. For the other ten minutes of good weather when I have some serious tractoring I need to do, it isn't a big deal but for the rest of the time...
Here's a Pic of my Bumble Bee Cub/Yanmar. Awsome tractor I am the second owner. Going on 4 years now. Heavy duty Cast Steel Axels compared to what I have seen on newer compact tractors. It does everything I need to do around here.
