A short update on my last post about the top link to the backhoe: I've ordered a custom one, longer and a bit stronger:

Yes, mine came with a top link, but it is too long (although adjustable, but still too long). It is clearly to connect with the plow implements and other "normal" implements. I tried with the backhoe, does not work properly. I hope so i will, too :). I have lots of things to do with it! I...

Hi everyone! Sorry not providing more updates, but the winter has been unusually rainy (even in this inner part of Portugal that doesn't get that much rain), so i've ended up not doing much with my tractor. In the meantime i had an oil leak in the steering system, which was found to be the...

hahah that is great! There is great pride in the wine made here! People tend to see it as an extension of their ingenuity and skills, and feel very proud when someones compliments their wine. Actually the man who sold me the tractor made a point of showing me his grape mill and its wine...

Yes, the operator definitely gives an extra motivation. I would ask if they can send also the operator to make an in-person demonstration 😆 Thank you for the advice! The use that i intend for it is mostly for digging holes to plant trees, to place kerbs, to do some light construction work...

If you go outside typical tourist places you can do it on a budget, although 3 months around Europe will require a lot of money, especially in France, Germany and Italy. And as @ptsg said, you are very welcome here!! Especially in this little corner of Portugal [emoji846] My dream is also to...

Cool! I didn't know that.. They have hundreds of small tractors for sale... I guess they directly go to Japan and bring them. Most of them do not have a license plate but they have plenty of stuff there. Roby took the small workshop of his father to a new level. It is a small corner in the...

Thank you! Great info, i didnt know LS before... so it os not a true NH or LS makes all NH tractors? Well, at least i Will bem able to find parts for it! Ok, i'll take that into account when buying the backhoe, the sideshift thing serms really helpful. Btw great links, in the impossibility of...

Hi again! So i've done business already. And the selected was.. New Holland Boomer 25... used with 700 hours on the clock. I hope i've made a good choice and its use reliable enough. It hás a Mitsubishi 26 HP engine. I am now searching for a small backhoe. NH has One that i fell on love with...

Thank you @K5lwq! Indeed, he has already been of great help! The decision on a new tractor will be taken in the next 2 weeks, as i cannot postpone it much further. I'll keep you guys posted about it!

Yes, that is what i think too! And the best part is that i can do things exactly the way i want. I didn't know that. Well, one more reason to buy a backhoe. I haven't done the course yet, but i intend to do it in the future when i have more time available. Today i'm gonna see this: The price...

@ptsg thanks a lot for the post! Great points! Great to see other portuguese fellows around. Yes I have been checking OLX mostly, and have already seen a couple of tractos from there in person. Definitely i want to have a licence plate on it - it is a must. I want go go refuel it to the gas...

The terrain is quite flat. Indeed, the terrain is small, but the vegetation grows like crazy there and i want to plant some assorted fruit trees and vegetables for self consumption, including potatoes. I also want to put some curbs (that's also why i want the backhoe loder) to delimitate the...

Hello Everyone, i am looking to buy a small and cheap tractor for small farming (basically, a 100x50 meter yard). Constraints: Between 20 and 30 HP 4x4 Traction Power Steering (called Hydraulic, i guess?) Narrow enough (less than 1,40 meters wide) Can be used... number of years is not...
