Tractor for my dad

[TripleR]

As mentioned by others, the Kubota BX is a great machine, I have owned two over the last eight years and we love my wife's BX2660. They do however have limited ground clearance with a vulnerable HST fan and filter if this is a consideration. Protection plates are available from Bro Tek.

If we didn't own other tractors, we would have gone with one of the B Series.

Every maker produces similarly sized units and you need to look at them all with decent dealers in your area.

You may also consider renting a unit for a day just to get a baseline for comparison.

what's yer budget?

are you set on diesel and new.. or would you consider an older gasser?

are you set on 4wd or is 2wd ok?

about 2000-3000$ will get you into an old mid 50's to mid 60's ford with some sort of a loader.

fun tractors, and if you look around you can get one with lots of decades of work left in them..

if you are thinking about going that directions, and have questions, ask away.. I collect and restore old fords..
