We just picked up a 20ft trailer and as some of you know, looking at used JD and Kubota tractors for trail work. Should I be posting those things here?

I would say yes; post here if you have a nifty trick, specific tool, technique or method that works well, especially if holding your breath, closing your eyes and scooting to the rear of the tractor seat can get us more traction.
I posted my use of a box blade here and how I thought it worked efficiently, plus some photos of the decades old results. But if I was going to do “I am making a path, come follow me”-type of documentation, I would make my own thread.

I see a JOHN DEERE TRACTOR 3039R $29,900 with farily low hours FS near us. Do you guys think its loader lift capacity is enough for tail work??

If a pole saw is big enough for the trail work, a Deere 3039 is big enough

Created a ditch so the parking lot drains and moved the dirt to a equipment turn-around trail that was full of holes. Win, win situation.

Are you getting Tractor Fever yet?

Arly no matter what tractor you get it seems you will run into something that you wish it would lift but won’t. A 3033r had pretty decent lift capacity so yes it will do trail work.
