Old post but in its class the Kioti 7320 is a feature-packed/value buy. I was really considering one...ended up going with a larger New Holland but Kioti makes an awesome machine at a good price point and their larger tractors are even pretty dern nice.

Beautiful truck! I own an '06 Dodge/Cummins dually, 6-speed manual transmission, and love it BUT these older Dodges are really appealing to me more and more the older I get. Have fun!!

Nice looking truck. Oh, Copperas Cove... haha. It's all good at Fort Hood (Cavazos now)...

Concur. Had a '91 F-150 with the 302 and a '91 with the diesel. The 302 pulled better even after adding an aftermarket turbo to the diesel, LOL. Will agree that the 300 inline six deserves a lot of credit...that thing is a torque beast and pulled quite well, in my experience. Aunt had one...

I must have missed something... Zombies are my biggest concern. <haha>

OK, I understand and I greatly appreciate your help. I'll consider this as an option or even supplement. Thank you again.

Pictures are worth a thousand words... most of the time. Can you please elaborate on the setup?

I have high tensile electric fence on part of my property where sheep are kept. I am moving the charger inside because there's no sense in leaving an expensive charger out where it is up for grabs. I know others have similarly moved their chargers inside. Wondering about lightning protection...

Hehehe. Now just want to figure out WHO is buying new tractors and how this can actually be justified. My neighbor and folks here really made a strong case for the lack of any real need -- assuming I can get someone to come cut. Nobody will cut a couple acres, which put me in a rough position...

Thank you for this. So...taking everything into consideration, the bottom line is I'm not buying. Listened to an old farmer today across the road who also strongly advised against it. His input is to pull animals off the entire farm in March, pay someone to hay it all in June, and put animals...

Appreciate this. We're like minded on the independence thing and also on having the ability to help neighbors. Thank you.

I tend to agree...love the old/mechanical stuff...but anything I buy that's older would need to still have parts readily available and would also need to be fully restored, mechanically. So there's an added cost for that. I've wondered what such restoration work would cost.

3 to 35, now, up to 100 later. My current farm is not my forever farm.

So another weed question... What is this, how can I get rid of it without chemicals (ideally)? Can I hand pull, with any diminishment in return next season? It isn't on my entire farm (yet) but I'd like to nip this in the bud as I consider developing my pastures to market hay. Thank you for...

Yes, that's where I'm coming to. As mentioned before, I'm not afraid of buying something nicer and hanging onto it for 30 years (yes, that is realistic). But yes, a premium tractor, for me right now, is overboard. That said, I'm leaning toward going with the less-capable Kioti RX7320 or used...

Thank you, and yes...always have to consider want vs need. I need winter stockpile for hay and why would I ever want to buy that when (if) I can hire someone to give me my own weed-free (or at least, MY weeds and nobody else's) hay? I also want to not have to rely on an unreliable hay guy...

Thanks, y'all. You have a good point with regard to buying hay and it is one I have considered and perhaps should reconsider. That said, I'm the only guy with tall grass, anywhere in my area. :-) All the "real farmers" have already put up their hay (round bales) and may get a second cutting...

Thank you, 50/50. I agree. In talking to the dealer today, 60 PTO might be able to get most things done. Then we're looking at other things such as ability to pull large fertilizer bins/spreaders and do some of that kind of heavier work. The cost difference is substantial between a 60hp vs...

Well, for starters, have you SEEN the cost of any sizable acreage with a home in good shape on it, the past several years? The previous owners of our property neglected the house, which we're now having to gut and rebuild due to moisture/crawlspace issues. So that's why I'm not willing to have...
