This seems to be much like the “4wd Vs. 2wd” truck debate……

I speak from experience on this.

I had exactly ONE 2wd truck………..NEVER AGAIN!!!!!

"No Loader = No tractor” in MY opinion…...

Hell,……I’m 99% of the way to saying “No SSQA = No tractor"

I do/don’t/kinda understand the whole “I don’t NEED it” thing, but it’s just one of those “Un-written rules” that I follow……That time I did have a “brain fart” and I bought a 2wd truck was short lived though………………"Bless me Father, for I have sinned"🙏……...


YMMV though (y)

For an only tractor I whole heartily agree 👍 (And may I also recommend a BH? !!!)

But if you had three tractor's ... Would all three need to have 4X4 SSQA Loader's?

No, but a larger tractor with a loader would serve you better than the loader on your sub-compact. In fact the ideal situation would be two machines: a subcompact and a utility sized tractor with its a loader.

I agree, if you are thinking about it…go BIG… no reason to leave the kids and grandkids all of your money…this Kubota will put a smile on your face every time you climb aboard and it’ll tackle anything you throw at it… 1781628278872.png
