And if it works it's FM

Auctions are something I will look into but am concerned with the unknows with the tractor.

I hope I'm not getting into a war about OEM vs China parts and is my tractor worth saving the money to buy Chinese, but we will see where this goes. The only question I have is has anyone used the Chinese knockoffs of the Kubota and are they any good? Big difference in price, $90 for Kubota vs...

That's why I may wait until I find the right thing and hopefully be able to afford something more expensive. I don't want to get something cheap that isn't what I want and wish for more. Hell, my wish to get a mini excavator has flown out the window.

I understand that, but don't want to get into paying someone to steal a tractor for me. Then I have to deal with the blackmail issues. I think I may have to pass on this for now, find a lawn tractor hopefully with a snowblower and mowing deck. Or a walk behind snowblower if need be.

Budget right now is only $10K. I know unreasonable for what I want, but I have seen some that will work for what I need, not want.

I would want a second tractor. We would be going there often probably at least a month and don't wat to haul a tractor up there. I could use it often while up there and here and would rather not have to haul it back and forth. I have a garage up there I could keep it in. Being at the end of the...

Thanks for your all your inputs. This would be for a second property about 3 hours away so my L will stay home. What I would want is of course more than my budget so I will be making some compromises. From what I've seen so far, the tractors in my price range are of course old but don't have a...

Looking for an older tractor to mow about 3 acres, do some snow plowing or snow blowing, and also some general loader/forklift work. I would want to have a loader with a SSQA so I can easily swap out bucket and forks. I have a 3-point hitch 5' brush hog and a 7' finish mower that could be used...

Yeah, that could suck on a submarine

That may be, I'm also replacing my fittings with better ones. I used iron pipe fittings to test the flow restrictors I installed just to see how well they worked. Pleased with them, so I am going to use better fittings and sealant.

Oh yeah, I'm try to remember that, but not always successfully.

She is great and also helps me with a lot of this stuff, she's not afraid of dirt or grease (but not in our BLT's)! 😊

This thread goes back a ways, but well, here I am years later. Several have mentioned different types of sealants and there are several mentioned, Loctite, Rectorseal Tru-Blu, Permatex, Vibra-Tite, and probably others. I have looked into these manufactures and there are several different...

I do both of them things and have my wife periodically check in on me in case something happened and I'm unable to use my phone.

Hope I remember to try this

I wonder if they spec it only by HP with no consideration for weight. Kind of like when I was specing out a flail mower. HP wise I was ok, but when I looked at the weight, the one I wanted was too heavy.

Or as an engineer, what did I do wrong this time???

Good point about the weight, something else I have to consider.

I would probably cut to 3-4" but wouldn't be getting up there to do it every week. That's my concern about the required HP. Your tractor is rated at 30.3 PTO HP, are you saying the tractor would struggle with taller grass with your tractor?
