Tractor size question

[MinnesotaEric]

Nope I even asked the dealer is this as far as it goes back? He said nope lift the lever up I did and it went about an inch back and that was it.

There is a about 2 feet between the seat and the steering column with the seat all the way back.

For those not familiar with them, equipment seats have a bunch of weird controls, and so as we look at the photo, the seat adjuster for moving the seat forward and back is the black lever on the right.

Purpose of photo?

Pretty sure he's showing leg room with seat all the way back. someone earlier had said theirs didn't have any. Some were wondering if the seat was all the way back.

I think he's trying to show the room between the seat and steering wheel.

Ah ok... Thought I'd missed something, cause that doesn't look like Eric's (lack of remote levers)

Last I checked, Eric wasn't selling his on tractorhouse.

Probably not, but I heard he's bought and changed so many parts he may have had enough to build one from scratch :laughing:

I can build another. :thumbsup:

Anyway, today, while out box scraper shopping I looked at Kubota's L6060. The L6060 cab is roughly the same size as a Kioti. Deere's 4066R cab, which I also saw today is way smaller.

Was that a TractorHouse pic?

Oh actually, just looked at it again... That's my local MF-Kioti dealer.

Just a short message to the OP, A number of people here have mentioned various CUTs. IMO don't count out UTs. Weight is your friend regardless of 4wd or 2wd. If you don't mind open station you can get more tractor for your money. If you don't plan on winter activities then you can forgo the ~6k for the cab. I have a 50hp JD 5103 and have pulled a 9ft. disc in clay type soil with little problems. I also have 40 acres. I also run a 5x6 round baler. So far the only task I've had issues is with a subsoiler when I ran it to deep. BTW my tractor with FEL ran me under 20k new.

He actually mentioned digging out snow in his first post. Kind of hard to avoid winter activities in Montana

I grew up on a Farmall H and an old ford 9n. When my dad upgraded to a diesel ford loader with snap on cab sides I was in heaven plowing snow.
There is no way I will be buying without a cab. I did consider a bigger tractor but when I really got down to it it's not what I need the majority of the time if ever. I really want a hydro for what I'm doing (lots of landscape) I got bucket work for days coming up.
After hitting a few dealers and looking at what's out there I'm convinced 50hp is the max I need and I could probably get by fine with 35hp if it's a 4x4. Heck my dad's old Ford was about 25hp and it did all we needed it just took a while.
I'm thinking I am going to be enjoying what I have coming up so no sense in knocking it out real fast with a big tractor.
I bought this place so I had something else to do besides drinking beer and watching TV.

You didn't post on page 1....must be those pesky semantics again.

Does this mean you're looking at something smaller than the XR4046 now?
