I've got a Kubota BX2230 that I use for just about everything around the house. I used to have some great pics removing a huge Maple from a neighbors property with it but they were all on a phone that was stolen. :mad: Every once in a while I come across something like this thread that reminds of pics that I'll never see again. :angry:

They are stout baby tractors. I firewooded with mine (c101) for several years, plus tilled the garden, mowed a lot, hauled rocks for landscaping, big ones. Never had a scraper blade though, but that would be the ticket for cleaning out the barn I think, get in all the corners and down the walls easier than the big tractor. *Hopefully* in the new year I get it running again or repowered. I am seriously leaning towards a chinese diesel, they are so cheap and good torque, from what I have read about them.

It Does, BUT you need to do a little "fixing it up" for logging though! lol

Like this one of mine,

It pulls quite hard, for a garden tractor. :)

i priced out those rear tires.....damn, they're expensive and you have four!

i removed the mower deck. it was kinda rotted out in spots, but it was still functioning. i'll probably scrap it.

i like the gearing, especially when putting it in low...pulls almost anything.

made this trailer out of a cement tub to haul my wood around.....works good and i can load the hell out of it.

Now that's a good idea with the cement tub, you can chuck stuff in there and not worry about breaking things.

When I was using mine a lot, the tiller was the extra get out of the woods traction, just set it to drop about two inches, drop it, engage it, zoom! And I only have turf tires.
