I noticed you don’t have the standard 3 ph barsetc, did you use the ones with extenders off a different tractor? same for the sway bars that are usually turnbuckles on the standard option?

completely agree with the tight spots aspect. I continue to wrestle with that. My thinking on the M62 versus the L47 is that the footprints aren't significantly different, a few inches on width, about 2 feet on length, but the capabilities are significantly more of the M62. So, if we take...

I'm not really interested in renting. I have enough use cases to justify the purchase in my head - what I am trying to avoid is multiple machines as much as possible - e.g. a tractor and a mini-ex. For my uses, I don't think I would get the value out of a mini-ex. For large excavators, I...

This is exactly why I was so interested in the kubota TLB - love the options to do both. But, for probably 40 percent of my uses I would have a grapple on the front and forestry winch on the back.

Thank you all for the replies. I have considered a ctl, but like the tractor better for visibility reasons when backing up and the ability to get on off easily when the front end loader was loaded. most of the time I would have my forestry winch attached at around 600 lbs. that’s about half...

Hello! I seem to be stuck in analysis paralysis and could use some thoughts/advice from others. I live in the NE with 100+ acres of mostly wooded property - appx 15 acres is pasture. Land, in general, has a lot of rocks. I currently have a b2650 and have really enjoyed that tractor but...
