Thought my new tractor was sizable

That was true until my farmer friend showed up:....

When I bought mine on the second trip to the dealer, I thought it was huge. On subsequent trips it kept getting smaller and smaller.
One of my farmer friends kept referring to it as a 'toy'. He kept gigging me until I dragged a 800 pound stump plus embedded rocks and mud, from a six foot hole. I told him that I have only five acres and most are wooded. I don't need and can't use a farm size tractor.
Today I saw a Kubota BX7500 (with bh) used be a contractor to dig up drains between houses about eight feet apart. This tractor, which is three quarter the size of mine, was the perfect size for this work.

And that is small as far as farm tractors go

Ditto, That's a chore tractor on most row crop farms around here. Would be a biggish baler tractor on hay ground. Everything is relative...

Relavance.

Put that ROPS backup and maybe it won't seem as small.

Honestly though its all in the context of how its presented.

Bigger is not always better 'sometimes it's badder.
