Love my new baby tractor
And, I haven’t even used it yet for what I bought it for but......, look what you can do w/it.
I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.
I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

It was tough to sign the loan doccs but I did my homework and I love the thing.
We’re on 3 acres and I’m getting ready to build a pool and the deck from hell.
I had a saved search on Craig’s for a used Bobcat, thinking I’d but one, do my project then sell it for what I paid.
Then a baby Kubota tractor surfaced for the same price. And it had a backhoe attached, which I needed.
Then I researched them and found the new ones had twice the power of the 10 yr old used one on Craig’s.
The one picture with the bags of top soil in the bucket was a test as to what it would lift.
I stacked on 40lb bags till it couldn’t lift them.
840lbs in that pic.
Not bad for a baby tractor.
Will fit in your bucket ?
Where we live, we are surrounded by farm land.
As is across street from our house.
A large farmer owns it and moved in heavy equip to clear it for farming.
I end my day on front porch w/a beer and watched them knock down and burn 40’ trees!
I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.

Does the bucket come off? I have a forklift setup that goes on the front of mine that is awesome.
BTW Click on that link I put up, and then on the tractor in the photo. That is a picture of MY tractor I sent to the guy at Everything Attachments. I just realize that, LOL!!!
I'll never buy another small tractor without a loader!!!
BTW I want the backhoe attachment for mine, but it is about $10K.

Very cool.
I have a 3 point link for mine too but would have to drop the hoe.
W/the weight of the hoe in the back it under steers really bad so once those projects are done I’ll drop/store the hoe.
Are you in the fields down their Paul?
Our farmers started last week.

When you get around to getting the forks, check your local scrap iron yard to see if they have any. I got mine this way. They had an area about the size of a 2 car garage filled with different style forks. They charged me by the lb. If I remember right it cost me just under $40 for a set.
