[QUOTE="stocky, post: 341564, member: 1150"] I use a Long tractor. It is 4 wheel drive and their biggest model, 68 horse pto, I believe. It does not have a cab, but has a canopy to keep the sun off. It also has a Long front end loader. It handles the heavy 5x6 bales with no problem 2 at a time. I unload and move over 1500 large round bales per year, do the brushogging, spread fertilize with a 6 ton spreader over the hills, and use it for a bulldozer pushing brush and piling downed trees much more often than I should. I do not cut or bale hay. This tractor handles all of this with no problems. It is considerably less expensive than the John Deere or International, but not as heavy made of a tractor. I am sure the life of the tractor will not be as long as the John Deere, either. I do not know how it compares in price with the Kubota or Branson. If you are going to do this type of work with it, I would definitely get the 4 wheel drive, it will allow the tractor to work much easier in many of the tough situations. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
