Least Tippy Machine

The compact telehandler does great with the box blade on a SSQA to 3 point adapter:

I agree, if possible, buy a couple loads of dirt and begin the process of filling the holes. Make it a regular process like maintaining a gravel road. If that is not possible, hiring a doser may be a lot cheaper than looking for other equipment that may or may not be any safer. I have a L4701 and a box blade. They work great at filling holes. Best wishes, Larry

A thought..... Why would you consider selling you expensive tractor at a loss, to buy new tractor to solve your problem, when a day or two of work with a hired dozer would be a lot cheaper, and maybe after holes are filled with dozer you would find out that a new tractor is no better on property than one you sold.... Personally I would do dozer operation first, and see if present tractor would do just fine if there are no holes to fall into...

If the T650 worked so well why did you get rid of it or why not get another one?

Why not have a skilled experienced operator come over and use your equipment and dirt supply to fill the holes. This would be a cheaper solution than a dozer. Do you haven anyone in mind that might be willing to do this for you?

Or maybe give instructions or demonstration so you can do it yourself without accident or injury....

I thought orchard tractors were narrower so they'd fit between the rows.

Back in the day with "old school" Orchard tractors, they were setup to run under widely spaced trees on slopes, so they had shorter spindles and shorter, wider rear wheels and sometimes wider rear axles.

Modern orchard tractors are very narrow 60-120HP tractors on smaller frames (more like a small to medium L series) and can be tippy, they are setup to run down rows of fruit trees planted on 10-12' centers.
