I just picked this up. Looked at it a couple weeks ago from a guy selling it nearby, made the deal and finally got it in hand Thurs night. Took Friday off and took it out in the woods to get some work done. I've never driven a tractor for more than 5 minutes before, so this is new to me but it couldn't be much easier (hydro). Got a set of (new) forks to go with it too, and the trailer (very used).
The trailer is still causing me fits as a deck board broke loading it up the first time and then I found the brake controller isn't seeing the trailer brakes, so there must be a wiring issue back there. I will fix that tomorrow, along with the deck, and then I should be good to go. But I think I got hosed a bit on the trailer. Ah well... At least I can use the tractor to lift the trailer up to work on it (and then place jackstands)![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
32 hp, 4wd Kubota L series with loader and hyrdo tranny. I'm loving it.
1st pic was when I was working on getting chains and binders set up, so it is only partly secured. 2nd pic is unloaded and ready to go at the land.
We finally started pulling out wood today too. Got 3 full loads in the F250, with raised sides. Almost all red oak. Damn that stuff is heavy. Couldn't quite fill up the 8' box with it, as the truck was sitting pretty low before we got that far. I'm tired. Ground is still pretty soft and the truck and tracor were leaving some good impressions. The future driveway path is now pretty much clear to the top, near the house landing.
