Outdoor Power Equipment (Lawn Mowers, Snow Blowers, Chain Saws and more) Discussions

Who here runs a Compact tractor, not the usuall lawn style, at least a Deere  2210, Kubota  BX 1500, Simplicity Legacy model as examples.

Might be looking for a used machine with a Loader and such down the road a piece.

Compact utility tractor... yeah... have a 2004 4wd Kubota L3130... bought new... w/ loader and 9' backhoe & couple other attachments... fully enclosed cab w/ heater... ~~30hp

Previously had a 1987 4wd Deere 750 with loader & 7' backhoe & snowplow & finish mower deck... bought used... a physically smaller machine at ~~20hp... Excellent machine !

Before the Deere... owned an older 2wd Power King w/ loader, snowplow and belly mower... bought used...  ~~14hp ??

About 10 years using 'em...

Glad to talk & possibly help... here or on the telephone... I'm not here as much as I would like... so you can email me to get my or your phone number to discuss it... 

My uncle was... and cousin currently is...  John Deere dealers... and I have good rapport with a knowledgable Kubota dealer... so have access to expert info/advice...

Primary thing is to identify what you want to do with the machine... the $$$ will take care of thenselves... more than you wanna' spend !... LOL...
