Even though I would love a mini-ex and a tractor, (plus a few other things) I think what would suit me best right now is a TLB like a M62/M59 or something similar. All of the tasks you listed are right in line with what I would be doing. I appreciate the information.

I'm roughly an hour south of you, near the western foothills. We have swamp, mountain, rolling fields, pretty much some of everything. We like to go SXS riding so the trails we make don't have to be too smooth. Last time I stayed in Dexter it was at the (now closed) Motor Lounge. We resurfaced...

She will not be helping, her domain is inside the house. In Maine, people often hay fields for others, but they always want to keep the hay. Making hay would be at the bottom of my list of "things to do with the tractor". Hay is avg. about $7 a bail up here so, not cheap. We board our horse at...

I'm sure I could make the case if I really thought it was the best choice for us. I am struggling a little with it myself. I usually prefer to buy new, keep it in great shape, and keep it forever. Buying a mini and a tractor new is money better spent elsewhere. I would need to find a good...

Growing up in a rural area I definitely saw what your describing. I just guessed it was farmers having multiple tractors so they used them instead of changing implements all the time. But I never asked anyone why. As far as large clearing goes.. most of it would be things like trails, fields...

Good point. Nobody has mentioned per-emission over new. From everything I read it seemed like emission controls were the biggest source of trouble. Is that not really an issue?

I would like a cab, I saw you can get an aftermarket for the M62 but it wont have AC which inst a deal breaker but not ideal. Your point about the 2 machines vs 1 is definitely valid, but I think my wife would struggle with the concept. Her math would be 2 is larger than 1. But, it's...

I appreciate the lead, I had not considered having it shipped in.

I am not retired, I have a young family so time is a constraint. I have a 3500 Duramax that will haul 17,000 lbs. so the tractor cant be too big.

I'm very mechanically inclined. I have done some engine work, but the bulk of my experience comes from working on manufacturing machinery, so electric motors, plcs, hydraulics, things like that. I will have to look at the M7060.

Hi, my name's Zach, I'm from Maine and I'm new to the forum. I'm looking to buy my first Kubota. I have multiple properties commercial and residential totaling a few hundred acres. I am not looking to work all of the acreage, I have different plans for the different properties. I hope to plow...
