    Hydrostatic vs Gear Transmission Tractor

    Im gonna tell you .. they've come a long long way since then . I have hands on experience with most every kubota and deere hydrostat , cant speak for the others . A good portion of tractors today under 60hp are sold with loaders and the hydros are better for those applications likely 90% of the...

    Hydrostatic vs Gear Transmission Tractor

    everybody I hear knocking a hydro tractor has never had one . Way more dependable for most operators , especially tractors with loaders under 60hp . I know of countless mechanical shuttled gear tractors with under 1000hrs being split in half from bad operator , many under 500hrs and some less...

    Hydrostatic vs Gear Transmission Tractor

    no question its the way to go 4 series and under for loader tractors ,under 60 hp i want a hydro hands down . your not gonna notice a 1hp loss . Resell on a hydro is much better . Cost new is more . Hydraulics run the world . Skid steers and excavators no different . My last dozer was a D3G...

    Diamond C hydraulic Dovetail Gooseneck

    I have a 32' Better built hydraulic diove with hydro jacks . Hydro jacks are the best .. Only regret I have is not getting disc brakes , only complaint is at only 68-70 mph empty I can feel it behind me .. slight vibration , not unbearable but noticeable . Lots of weight behind the axle i guess...

    Kubota M7060 or New Holland T4.75 or Case IH Farmall C75

    next frame size up is the way to go . M7060 shares same chassis as the 50 and 60 hp HP models . Same with the JD . 85 HP and up gets you considerably more tractor . In regard to the weight of a Kubota . Weight cost money and if you need it , it can added to fit your needs . Not every application...

    Kubota M7060 or New Holland T4.75 or Case IH Farmall C75

    good product and most importantly good dealers . Most of the Kubota dealers here are small family owned dealerships with one store . I like the big Deere dealers here locally too but its a different experience.. I'll take one of those clean M9000 4x4 cab/loader tractors for $30k if anyone has...

    Kubota M7060 or New Holland T4.75 or Case IH Farmall C75

    in my area better deals to be had on the cnh tractors , people are kubota crazy ( for good reason) . If i had a good dealer close id buy the blue/red ones too

    Diesel to gas rig?

    I think if you gotta ask yourself this question , your probably better suited with a gas truck .. Ive been moving 12 ton of rock with my 1 ton 6.7 ford dually diesel/ 8 tire gooseneck dump trailer with disc brakes and airbags . Perfect set up . I dont think a gas truck would do it , certainly...
