That's a good observation in regards to utilizing the 3215 for the small work.
We're in the middle of remodeling a 120 year old family farmhouse. I bought the 3215 for just the purpose of doing the smaller/tighter jobs (new gas line, new underground electric line, barn stone retaining walls, couple smaller foundations, french drains, field drains, etc.). After 4 years, I've pretty much worked through the list of smaller projects, and am now faced with some larger projects. In particular, I'm trying to reclaim a 70-foot diameter pond that has filled in with silt over the past 40 years. I pulled the breast works out about 2 years ago with my 3215, and am now ready to start moving dirt. I know, I know - i should just hire an excavator. But....I figure that I might as well put that money towards a larger TLB, and do the job myself. At the end of the day, I'll have the pond done, and have a new machine to boot.
Also, my wife's grandfather is doing the farming right now with an old 674 International - which, I'm suspecting isn't too long for this world. So, I'm going to be counting on this machine to mow fields, make hay, and do some of the utility work.
Overall, this machine is going to be called upon to do everything from move dirt to make hay.
All that being said, is this platform up for the challenge? Or, am I asking/expecting too much out of the 7060?
On a separate note, the 3215 is so narrow, and has such small tires, that I don't feel overly comfortable getting off the beaten path. We live in Western Pennsylvania, which is largely characterized by "rolling" hills. Our farm has more hills than flat land. The 3215, with Industrial Tires, has performed exceptionally well where you've got to get in close to a house, or have to go through the yard. It will get the job done, but won't tear everything up.
