too big?

[k0ua]

Given enough time, any tractor can dig a pond. This fellow dung one with a Kioti CK20.

I agree any machine can do anything given the time and desire to do it.

But many here would say there is no such thing as too big.

There is a class of people with nothing to do and all day to do it, in which a smaller tractor would allow them to knock out what they want to accomplish (eventually), save some money, and keep them busy. Like this guy who swore off his 500hp cars to drift a 100 hp beater like a pro.

I thought it was TSO, since the YouTube channel is TSO. =)

For me the question would be are any of these really big enough. I also own 10 acres and For me that answer was not even close. I wanted lift capacity and traction. I settled with 85 hp and it suits me well. Is it to much tractor yeah probably 30% of the time. But for me a 30-40 hp would be to small 80-90% of the time. Eventually i will end of with a ~50 HP Cabed CUT to compliment the bigger tractor. That said Lots of people with similar sized lots can get buy with the horsepower range your looking at and be happy all day long. I'm also the type who picks up a MS290 and or a husky 455 rancher and makes one cut and determines that i don't have the patience to work with so little power. I need more power and better power/weight.

Of the models your looking at the MF1736 is hands down the winner in my mind. But may I ask why your comparing Apples to Oranges and a Lime The Massey is a premium CUT while the kubota and deere models you've chosen to look at are the econo boxes. A fair comparison would be to look at a L3560 or the john deere 3039R or The Massey Econo box 1739E to the L3800 and the JD3038E this would level set the playing field

Maybe because that is what his different dealers carry? :confused3: I know that my local JD dealer says that the 3032e and the 3038e are his biggest sellers. Well, that might be because that is about all they bring in besides mowers. :mur: I'm sure that they have their reasons though.

You would wear a tractor out here trying to dig a pond. The ground is rally hard!

I bought a L3800DT two years ago knowing I really needed a slightly larger tractor. Price was too good to pass at 15K w/fel. Figured I run it a couple years then trade up. But have decided it's a keeper and isn't going anywhere. Very impressed with the power, traction & nimbleness. I'll get a larger one at some point, but will keep the 3800...

There you go. The more tractors the better. Bought 11, sold 0.

Yep Same theory applies to chainsaws and firearms. It would have to be a pile of junk for me to part with either of the later two.

I guess when your trying to compete with kioti, mahindra, Branson LS. Etc for price they might have to. The bigger dealers around here carry premium models also.
