Does anyone make the Garden Tractors anymore. The ones you can add attachments . The ones smaller than a subcompact but bigger than lawn tractors.

I've had a Kubota BX2200 for 15 years and they still make that series. Have Land Pride tiller on three point hitch. You can get a small loader on it if you want as well. Mows, tills, diesel.

Don't know why you're looking for "garden tractors", the sub compact tractor can be smaller than the larger "riding lawnmowers". I got my Cub Cadet Yanmar 2400 because it would fit in the bed of my pickup. It has been a work horse and I wouldn't do without it. All the major brands have similar sized sub compact tractors.

Well those old case 400 and 600 series loader tractors were more compact than a scut. I do wish somebody was still building them that small, just a small 4wd loader with hst, w/o a pto, and a way to mount a weight box in the back (cat-0 3ph maybe). Price tag of around $10k, I could see it selling. I'd want one.

Hard to find a true garden tractor. The JD X7xx series fits the needs but pricey.
The Cubs and Husqvarna's are light weight.

OR just buy a used Wheel Horse 8 speed,

you can easily make them into anything you would want in a garden tractor, and they were built to last!

I agree, have 2 Wheelhorse's currently using and always reliable.. Snow blade, Roto tiller, mowing deck, and many other attachments were available if you can find them. Built like a tank, never wear out and parts are still available.....

I’m preferential to my allis(s)
Till/loader/grader/weedcutter-front brushhog/sickle/mower, (im sure I forgot some of my attachments)

I like the old iron.

Did you look at Ingersoll, formerly Case?

I have owned 3 hearty garden tractors :
JD 400
Simplicity 9020 Power Max
Case 440

They were part of America , same as my 32 Ford and my old Harleys , a thing of the past .

They were all built by an American , going to work to earn a wage to raise a family .

They were proud of the quality products they produced .

Sorry but those days are memories .

Here is a site that will make you want a Case/Ingersoll. I was going to sell my 3014 but I think I'm going to give it a new paint job and some new decals. I like it. Can't say I use it much but I can pass it down to my grandsons in a few years.
