Our coldest temps here is rarely zero. Usually even mid teens is the low. we do have blackberrys and one of my properties had a few hawthorn trees. ive removed them but they may still be seeding and sprouting. So there is potential for sharp thorns in my use area. I have access to winter...

My tractors have paid for themselves quickly and I never sold one. I believe if i ever sell the property this tractor is kept at the tractor will be part of the sale. So i do see this as a low cost investment where a new tractor at this point in my life will probably be a fifty fifty event...

I looked at the John Deere yesterday. Now I have a case of the wellughs. Reality is it’s just a little bigger than what i need at this point in life. When I first started developing my businesses and properties this would have been the right size tractor. But I was dead broke and fighting city...

I also use about scraper for snow I’ve got a rear blade but I have only used it a couple time times and not once after i bought the box scraper. Snow blowers almost useless for my needs, almost that is. One of my shops driveway is sloped paved and tricky when it’s icy but i chain up and push...

Thanks I am trying to be within 200 miles from home. Wyoming is my home state to I could see family but winters rolling in looks like Wednesday:) and getting one from out of the area is harder and im now in tire season followed by I broke my car going snow skiiing session so soon my time for...

This tractors is for use in Oregon and Washington

thats a double edge sword here on the dark side of the moon. Getting things fixed is a nightmare. The next dealers 60 miles away and I’ve seen there shop really means I’m taking it 150 miles away. And really i don’t want to buy a new tractor this round. $80k at this point in my life for a...

There probably is an MX6000 somewhere in the NW but if im buying new I will buy from my local dealer they have sold us three tractors and treated us well and I have had good luck with Kubota products. Issues i face there all slow to build unless someone has one ready theres a number of MDX6000...

The John Deere im looking at does have a reverser. It’s 200 miles from me or id have already seen it. If it hasnt sold after thanksgiving I plan to go see it and it seems to be real theres so many fake ads and scams on used tractors. But hes ready for me to come see it and I dont have to send...

Thanks I need to go run that John Deere around and see if I even like it. Parking lots where im doing a lot of direction changes most likely I will only use one or two gears. So it's not like I will be shifting all the time and from what I understand the shift forward to reverse is actually...

As the tractor wheels roll round and round my quest continues to spin in many directions. My local dealer has an MX6000 with cab but its there demo for plowing snow this winter I wont get it until April I bet. Not a huge hurdle but id really like my current tractor headed west by mid January...

Ok follow up to my first post same subject different direction. If I focus on one thing that seems to be the biggest task I do with my tractors its snow relocation. While some of its plowing the bulk of this are two gravel lots in two commercial settings while one of these has a 300 foot long...

Im south of Hilo in Keaau we call it Orchidland. Im at 900 feet of elevations and it’s wet here. Pure jungle I think theres places in the rain forest of Kauai thats drier :). But it’s nice. Im also a diver. I hope to just retire here but I have way too many fish in the fryer to do it soon...

yes it’s The Big Island of Hawaii. It’s funny i remember my first tractor purchase I was so happy dead broke 1/2 into the build of one of my shops. Then I figured a few things out. There’s some things. tractor dealers three months later it’s ready you know the day the last snow of the year was...

i live a complex life. It’s not even that exciting. This tractor is needed on the big island of Hawaii. There are very few used tractors, while a new tractor is an option it’s a very slow process and about 20% more money for the same thing back in the states. And i need a third tractor so just...
