I have a Farmtrac I bought in 04. It's used on my farm. I raise cattle. I've been real pleased with the tractor. It's done everthing I've need it to do. Cut,rake and bale Hay(60 acres). It has a loader and use it to stack hay under sheds. I use fly ash on the fields and loaded 220 tones of ash in the spreader last fall and winter. It's a great loader tractor. Has gear shuttle. Got 400+ hours on it now and I expect thousands more.
Going to start clipping pasture soon(80 acres). I have a 90" tiller from CCM. I guess that puts more load on the tractor than anything else I do with it. I've run that tiller on pasture land in August with 90+ deg. and it's never heated. Just sucks a lot of fuel with that tiller. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif The model I have is 12 speed forward and reverse so there's a gear that fits what ever I'm doing with it. If I needed another tractor I'd sure buy another Farmtrac. For my type of work on the farm I get more bang for my buck with Farmtrac.
