When you buy a bigger one are you going to call that buyer up and tell him yours is bigger?
I was surprised that no one was interested on here in as much as a new one is around 2 grand from WoodMax., only reason I said anything. Response was fantastic. Sold it in 2 hours.
Bigger what? Bigger chipper? I don't need a chippe in as much as I sharpen commercial chipper knives for local tree companies so getting limbs chipped is a simple call. Most times when they drop off knives and anvils they come with their trucks and chippers anyway.
Bigger tractor, don't need anything bigger than the 90 actually. The 105 is overkill. Most PTO power I need is about 75 to run the round baler and usually a lot less.
If I did buy a new Kubota, would probably be a lower horsepower MX open station with a hydraulic shuttle for a raking tractor, no loader just the tractor and double remotes.
My big issue is switching implements all the time so I need two tractors. The 9 would stay married to the round baler because it's a complex hookup with all the hydraulics and electronics that have to be coupled and the other would be my rake and mow tractor and mowing and raking isn't bad but round baling requires a cab as it's dusty and I dislike dust. Something about a climate controlled cab makes for a better workday in the field.
The 105 is just a tad too big and cumbersome for my uses.
My other motive is I want to have the use of a tractor up north on our hunting land and the 105 is too big to trailer up there. I can haul it (and have before) but it's just too far to pull it.
Been looking at used ones that aren't beat. Don't want to buy someone else's problems.
Being a pre-tier 4 tractor, the 105 will hold it's value. Should be able to sell it for a fair price should I decide to off it.Well maintained with all service records including oil analysis of the engine and transmission oils. All mechanical, no electronics, turbo charged charge air cooled, 24 speed powershift.
Bigger, nope. Smaller, certainly.
