Low hour Kubota/Kioti/Deere"yanmar"

For your purposes a sub compact utility tractor would make sense.
Loader and front wheel assist is a must.
25-35 hp would roll right up on your trailer and go with you anywhere.

Good advise
a smaller tractor and loader like that makes firewooding almost fun.........for a few months at least

Yep. Love my L3800DT Kubota in the woods for logging & firewood!

Have an old L3750 that we bought used 16+ years ago. Rough, but can't kill it, my brother uses this one now. I bought a lightly used L3800 5 years ago and love it.

wow my post landed in the quote

Since we are talking tractors, give me some recommendations. The only thing mandatory is front end loader, mechanically sound, and cheap (10K and under). Will be used for firewood purposes. The more hp the better.

I got a Kubota L3200 you can come try out if you want to see what they can d0.

 

[67L36Driver]

Yup, you found the C'list troll.

But, I don't burn wood, nor do I cut wood, just fix chainsaws.

Mostly collect Remington's.

Just loader work? If so you might want to think about a skidsteer.

 

[Workshop]

Skidsteers are good, but where I've had charity cuts there's no way you'd get one back there. Tractor's the better choice.

As much as I like them, I'd advise against one for Thomas' use.
A. decent, low hour units are stupid expensive.
B. to get lifting capacity and stability, the unit you choose has to be disproportionately heavy.
C. they tear up yards if you ain't real careful, and sometimes even when you are.

The last used ones I was looking at ranged in price from $15,000 - $25,000 Well used.

[Douglas Ostrander]

Has anyone here used a vise lacer to fix a round baler belt? I am wondering if I get the 7" vise lacer which will do a 4" belt. Can I lace 4 inches at a time to lace a wider belt. Say 12" wide lace. Changing out the Kewanee elevator to a belt. Got a length of 120ft of belt for fee. Hoping a belt will not make as much noise.

Been quite a while since I've used mine. Don't see why you couldn't.

That would be alright. I wouldn't go smaller. But then my eyes are always to big. And the little ones get tipsy quick.

Look at what would actually do the job, with ease, then go 20% bigger.
