Thanks, can't have too much land in a rural area near a good school district. The house is pretty close to a fencerow of evergreens I want to save and I believe there is a lot of good 1885 lumber in there so I'm going to try to disassemble the top half of the house. I know there is wood...

https://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/001/2/5/1259-kubota-b1550.html It's decent sized but 3 cylinder and only 17 hp. For years, I cut a few acres of ground with closely spaced trees, so close that a 38" deck was the only thing that would fit between and I used a JD 180 (that I still...

I am hoping for a 4 cylinder, would be delighted with a 5. I'll have a look at those models. I did something similar with options that come up on Marketplace, made an Excel file with selected data for each model, that's how I knew the B7100 was smaller than I wanted. I'm making the...

The people have spoken...an L series it will be. Just need to find a good one at/below $10k.

Thanks for the responses. It sounds like an L is the way to go. The L2650 has disappeared from Marketplace and my text to the seller has gone unanswered so I think it's gone. I never got a chance to see it and the ad wasn't great so I can't say which transmission it had. I agree about the...

Thanks for the response. I have the cash and have been watching for a while, I was waiting till the paperwork was done and closing scheduled for the land before pulling the trigger, that just happened on friday. I sent a message to the L2650 seller to follow up on it. The ad was removed which...

I am buying the 3 acres of land next to me that includes a 912 square foot single story house built in 1885 that needs to come down, due to a crumbling foundation and groundhog infestation, when it's not flooded underneath. My plan is to dismantle the house and save the lumber and siding and...
