If you go the tractor route, look at what tires you may want. My friend with the Japanese spec Yanmar recently switched to turf tires. Easier to drive, still has great traction, rides better and a cheaper to replace. He bought new turf tires and rims cheaper than a set of the V tread tires.

Some of the "pro's" of the tractor are they pull trailers better, have an almost infinite implements available and longivity is unbeatable. My friends dad bought one (Kubota) when we were in highschool and they worked the crap out if it. Scraper box, rear blade, backhoe, fork attachment, bucket and mower deck. It ran better than 20-25 years before the head gasket went.

 

Looking at the cheapest series in gas. I’ll just keep ethanol free in it. Would like to wait a bit for any close outs but 0% is till end of month but I’m sure it’ll be back on again.

 

You can make a nice trailer with a good seat for Momma to go down to the river with you ..And think you won't be able to hear her driving tips.... : }

They run it all the time , I would consider the diesel really really hard

Yea
Both mowers are broke, don’t get used that often anymore. I like the tractor but can’t do both.

 

It’s expensive

 

I could clean the road down to river with tractor

 

Buy once cry once bud , loose the other mowers @Martin64 is right on , on tires I would suggest you make sure which one fit the unit you buy . Turfs and R4s or turfs and Ag tires which ever you do get them when you buy the unit they are much cheaper and Messicks ships every where for anything else:}

You can get hydraulic mowers (flail or rotary), pto mowers as well as mowers with their own engines if you like. Straight tow, off set, side cast...many options. It's all in what you want. You can find many used and cheaper the new.

 

You really want to make it a deal find the ones that do Tractor and Trailer to tow it one as a package. Get the QA Front end loader, Back hoe, Weight box, Mower is your call you know your ground as for other implements land pride grader / scraper go check out the BX Network on facebook . for mod ideas :}

Yea I can do the build your own and have been picking hd job site tires
Diesel 5k more

 

Think maintenance and ease of parts availability along with ground engaging attachments. With the QA Front end loader most things that fit a Bob cat can go on it. You can drop the Front end loader off in 5 min the back hoe in 10 etc etc.

There's an equipment rental yard up the street from me that has Kubota Tractors . They sell their rentals all the time

 

Just like anything vehicle it is lets make a deal , figure out all of what you want from the door call around and price shop there is wide latitude on pricing I have seen. Much less than the website build your own prices.

Diesel is worth it. Your overall fuel consumption will be down and have a lot lower rpm power and torque. Of course, if you don't already have a diesel it's one more fuel you have to buy and store. Of course "shelf life" on diesel is a lot longer.

 

Tractor yea
The atv is 5k more for diesel
I like what Maner has. Long bed or 4 seater with tilt bed. Nice. Don’t even want to look at price

 

Welcome you get to the front of the bus with all the cool non ketchup on hot dogs folks :]

If that'll do what you want. Nobody says you can't have a sxs and a tractor.

 

So you are set on a side by side then ?
