Tractor Sizing TRACTOR WEIGHT as ONE (1) CRITERION in TRACTOR SELECTION

   / TRACTOR WEIGHT as ONE (1) CRITERION in TRACTOR SELECTION #11  
A little heavier than a SCUT with the same power as a SCUT.. Kinda like my 3025, it's a little weak for it's size IMO but I like it and no tier 4 emissions, I'll put up with the small loss in power to avoid tier 4 any day..

I am targeting small compacts like the Kubota B2601 or compacts in the Kioti CK2610 size. I'll see if I can find some videos of them working.

If this is the only reply you have to the information in my post, that tells me a thing or two, all I'm going to say is , good luck to you in you're endeavors..

My apologies for a reply that may have come off as curt. I am grateful for the well thought out post you provided. My attention was divided while I was reading it and rather than wait and respond in full, I fired off a quick response to let you know I had read it and would follow your suggestion.

Jeff, how many threads are you going to keep starting that day the exact same thing? Are you just trying to boost your post count? Your opinions in these threads are not the Gospel truth that you make them out to be. In fact, you could be misleading new buyers into buying bigger than they need to. Weight is a factor in tractor buying, but not the only factor like you keep trying to tell people.

I honestly don't see that happening, I see people reading Jeff's posts and taking what he says into consideration.. If someone comes on here and asks a question and buys the wrong tractor, they didn't do the research needed to fulfill their needs, they need to read, read and read some more not take one mans opinion to buy a tractor for their needs..

Lots of people jump on Jeff, I don't see the reasoning behind it.. Their are lots of posts on this forum that are of no use to some people and that's fine but on occasion people get on another member because of the members opinions.. If someone is asking a tractor question and takes one mans opinion and buys a tractor because of that one mans opinion, they don't research much and is their own fault they bought the wrong machine..

Within a few hours of youtube and reading threads you can get a pretty good idea of what you need..

I'm going to stay out of this one, their are a few negative comments including the usual "professor orange" comments that have no value to anyone other than a blue guy trying to start trouble yet again...

Nice.. That's a good one.. You will get a pretty good idea of what a particular tractor can and can not do..

This one is not a good video in that it's at some kind of fast motion, but it does show the tires spinning as the operator sticks the bucket into a load. So that illustrates how weight can make a difference.

You have to take into consideration guys like this think they have a bull dozer, a tractor with a bucket on it is made to move material. While you can do some light digging with a tractor with a loader it isn't a bull dozer, I have a small dozer and my tractor that's twice it's size doesn't stand a chance at digging compared to it..
