I'm looking for used but some of the ones I have been looking at are in no particular order, Massey 1533, Kioti CK or DK35, Case DX31 of DX33, Bobcat CT235. This is the size/HP range I'm looking at. I would like to see an LS but no dealer near me, definitely no used. I'm not really...

I have been reading a lot and trying to educate myself before buying. From what I gather Kubota and John Deere are the two main players, at least here in the US. They are not rebadged tractors so I guess that makes them better in some people's eyes. The other big manufacturer is Daedong and...

I have found a 2008 Case DX31 with 192 hours with FEL, 6' grader blade, 6' finish mower, and 5' bush hog. Tractor is barn kept and looks to be in good condition. Not sure of the condition or brand of the attachments. I don't see a lot of talk about Case. I know they have been around a long...

I dropped by my local John Deere dealer today just to see what they had on the lot. When I mentioned to the salesman I was looking at a few other brands I specifically mentioned Kioti and Mahindra. He just started to shake his head and said that it was not a good idea. He said they would not...

I saw an ad for a Bobcat CT-225. They have one for $14,000 with FEL. Not sure if it is a 2012 or 2013 but it is new. Checked the reviews out and everything seemed very good. They have a little more weight than most tractors in it's horsepower range (3056 lbs), which I like. What I found...

We are building a small cabin on 5 mostly wooded acres. It has some mowing, driveway maintenance, dirt work, brush clearing, and firewood hauling to be done. I'm not sure yet how much I really need a tractor. I may be better off just renting what ever I need, when I need it but I'm having fun...

We are building a small cabin on 5 acres of mostly woods. No tractor now nor have I ever had one. I've been looking around a lot to see what's out there. Just came here to gain some knowledge about what's best for what I need.
