looking at used JD 3720 or 5045E tractor

I did look at a 30 series and thought it was cute. Not sure how much one could push or lift with it in the woods.

Ya, I keep looking and thinking while no tractor does it all. But any size is better than none. Safe thing about the heavier, wider tractor is they tip over less. Thinking of a snow push attachment for snow removal where bigger is again better.

Guys, I'm just shopping at this point. Primary jobs will be pushing snow off yard, mowing trails, lifting and moving logs. Creating drainage with BH.

That is all I do with mine. Works well and sized right for my trails

Arly I don’t have a backhoe on mine but have seen them removed. I don’t think it’s as easy as taking the FEL off if it’s the quick removal kind. I know people will put them on a dolly sometimes so they can wheel them around. I think it’s one of those things with practice it’s a 15 minute job or less.

Looked at a 4120 today. I liked it.

Spins my 7’ flail just fine and has the power needed for it size

Looked at a 4120 over the weekend. Has 900 hours and Hydrostatic. Who use it, do you like the JD quick attachment system for buckets??

 

[plastikosmd]

Yes, easy to use
I have forks, bucket and some homemade stuff
