Kubota LX2610 with larger R14 tires. I installed 3rd function for grapple. Works around my wooded 2 acres very nicely.

Yeah a hydro is the best if available. Naysayers say use to much power. What tires do you have and do you mow with it? We have a smaller Ford to bushhog and hayrack.

I have filled ag tires on mine. I run a 5' bush hog with it. Would rather have a twin spindle 7' or 8'. Mostly though I mow with a New Holland tc29d. About 24hp at the pto. Plenty for a 5' bush hog. That tractor doesn't have a loader, and it's unbelievably miserly on fuel, so it makes a great bush hogging rig.

Sweet rig. A grapple is on bucket list. Is the box blade for ballast?

Not "my" tractor but work.
Old 89' Dresser dozer 125.
Basically abandoned because of an unknown issue 4 years ago. Hot wired but got it running! Anyone familiar with these ?

Yes. Tires are filled as well.

I've had an MX4700 since the end of 2013. It's been flawless. Sometimes I wish we had a bigger tractor, but I've thought about adding a 70+hp old school ag or utility tractor if we ever really need one. My favorite aspect of the MX is the hydrostatic transmission. It really makes the tractor perform like a skid loader for our needs. It's not the same, I know, but the ability to place things super precisely with the pallet forks, or inch around spreading compost out of the bucket does the trick for us. I'm sure I'd get used to a bigger machine with a shuttle (especially a hydraulic shuttle), but the smoothness you can achieve on a hydrostatic machine after only 50-100 hours in the seat is pretty amazing. Also, I can put anyone who can drive a riding lawn mower on the thing and not worry about them driving through a building.

In my opinion, a hydro trans on a utility loader tractor is a must. If you do a lot of loader work it really shines. They do eat more power than a gear tractor but just get the biggest engine for the tractor chassis and you will still have extra power. We had a new holland 1925 with almost 4700 hours on it and the hydro unit was the strongest part of the tractor even after all the years and hours. We replaced it a few months ago on a new LS. Of course, with a hydro trans.

That a 30-35hp LS? That looks like a pretty useful bucket on that rig!

40hp. Largest engine on the MT2 series. I love that bucket. Really wanted a 5 foot bucket when I was tractor shopping but the LS had a 5.5' bucket. Now that I have it I'm glad I do! I really like how it curls all the way up at transport height. Everything stays in it.

Nice! Part of me really wants a 70-100 horse tractor for the additional capabilities. But, aside from occasionally moving a round bale, I intend it for more for firewood, bush hogs, and light tillage (gardens and such). And, I want to be able to transport it easily, and maybe have some room on the trailer (physically and weight-wise) for some wood too. The smaller foot print is also a lot easier navigating in tight spaces. I could live with a Shuttle Shift, but I'm pretty set on hydro, given the amount of loader work it'll be doing. I'll also have filled tires, wheel weights, and some sort of rear implement for additional weight/ballast... I think that MX6060, or something similar in the Mahindra or LS line may be it. I love Massey's, but the next one down from the 2607 is a much smaller tractor that costs about as much as the larger one.

I have the rear tires filled and use a 6ft cutter with this one. Handles 4x4 bales like they're air! Biggest issue is lifting height. I can't double stack on a trailer. That's where the bigger tractors shine.

I've got a little bare bones 45hp Mahindra. It's only six years old but has been a good tractor.

@srb08 IF/when the A.F. lifts their 300 mile travel restriction for service members, I need to come visit some day. To check out your tractor, and your .450"+ diameter revolvers!! And, bring a toy or two with me for you to try!

Biggest perk of this community is the great people and you can damn near test any product in its natural environment because of the great people. No sales people, no regulations. Just may have to travel a bit, but in my experience it has always been a blast meeting anyone on this forum!

Here is my lawn and snow rig. Just got it moved to the house garage this evening in preparation for snow.

 

[Locust Cutter]

I think that my old F925 Deere had the same Yanmar engine that's in that 430. If so, beyond always running a bit warm with a clean radiator (blown out every mowing and washed out 4x a season), it ran great until the neighbor screwed it up. But, he could have broken an anvil...

What kind of rear tires you have mounted up on there?

I honestly can't remember what they are. I will double check and reply later. They sure do a nice job of providing traction without tearing up the lawn.

Looks like Carlisle field trax.

We have them on a Toro Workman at work, totally changed where that thing can go.
