Well.... OUCH!

...and when you fock it up, don't whine about it. Solution, cut one tree down and use it for firewood. I own a woodlot myself but I don't drive my tractors in it. If I have to remove a culled tree, I'll winch it out.

You sound like the guy who takes a 16ft 6in load under a 15ft 6in overpass....

Also this last winters storm which dropped at least 24 inches of snow, when we usually get 3-4 inches, storm dropped about 30% of my trees and created 40-50 widow makers in others, has cost me at least $18,000 in having a crew in for cleanup ( approx. 10 days) that I could have never done even with bigger tractor in reasonable amount of time, this took care of about 3 acres and now I have about 4 more acres to clear on back property....And all in all I will probably have 7-8 cords of wood to actual give away (to needy families) because I will never use it all and its a shame to just let it sit and rot.... And no I don't need any ****** intellect remarks from you because you are not onsite supervisor...

My philosophy is.. If you want to 'romp' in the woods with a tractor, buy a large enough tractor that one, has the ground clearance and two, has the suds to handle that. Sub compact and compact tractors might be good for around the house operations and mowing the lawn, but certainly aren't suitable for romping in the woods.

Why do you keep in with this

I as well as many others here can disprove it exponentially…..

Big tractor can't romp in the woods because the trees are too close together.

Solution: Cut down the trees so it can fit.

I had a large cabbed tractor loader. One of the primary reasons I got rid of it is because my little PT425 can go places the IH2500b could not.

42" wheel width. Not only can I romp in the woods in virtually any place I want without damaging/clearing trees, I can disconnect the 60" mower, pick it up from the side with the forks, and drive it through a 48" gate and mow or brush cut on the other side.

Well got it back from dealers shop..... $37.99 in parts and $1100 in labor..... They had to remove ROPS, seat and back fender and floor board assembly's to just get to tube to replace it.... One expensive poke of a stick...

I am looking at a similar labor intensive tear down over two $39 seals going bad on a 770 hour Mahindra.

Tractors are fantastic until you run into an expensive repair.

I can’t believe how tractor makers put hydraulic lines and filters under tractors without any shielding.
