Tractor

I also have a Deere 1025R, with loader and backhoe. Might be a bit small for you, but it is perfect for me. I love it, very easy to use and maintain.

What are the opinions on a shuttle shift as opposed to the HST. My Kubota is shuttle shift and I don't mind it. I'm not mowing with it, it's mostly for moving snow and digging, a lot of back and forth from forward to reverse.

In the past, I was a landscape contractor. We had 2 Kubota L series tractors and a Case 580K. All were shuttle shift of one form or another. The hydro is pretty awesome, and you will never have a clutch issue. Kubota hydrostatic transmissions require their "super" UDT oil, which is pricey.

I would not go back to any type of geared tranny, but it will cost you a HP or two at the PTO shaft.

Some one sent me a message about my tractor but it went to my junk mail and got deleted. If you could PM me or resend it I will respond to your questions.

I only have experience with the Deere e-hydro:

For a given gear range, A, B or C, and throttle setting, pressing a peddle down (F or R) slowly increases the effective gear ratio from stopped to slow to faster. The change is very smooth giving very good control. Backing up to hook an implement to the 3PH the HST provides precise position control. Let up on the peddle and the tractor is locked in position. Need to move forward or back half an inch and stop, no problem.

Another good feature is the Deere "load match". Pushing the FEL into a pile of gravel automatically reduce the effective gear ratio to maintain torque and prevent stalling.

This looks like a good deal if you want a few extra attachments:

I previously had a Kubota Grand L2900. The power shuttle on it was pretty fantastic, no clutching to go into reverse or shift gears but it was never as precise as the hydrostatic transmission I now have on my newer CK35 Kioti. I can do very detailed cleanup work in the horse paddock with a landscape rake, it saves me a ton of time as well as broken fence rails. That said the 32 horse Kubota was definitely the more powerful of the two in terms of pulling and pushing capacity. Both had R4 tires (loaded in the rear) and I never had trouble getting enough power to the ground, even in snow without chains.

For $3500 or b/o, the old Jeep restorer guy in Holderness has a grey Ford 8N tractor parked next to Rt 25-3, close to Camp Deerwood, with a 'for sale' description.

"runs good, brakes work, Hupp underdrive, Deerborn snow plow (about 6' wide), tire chains, $3500 or b/o, 603-279-0401"

It looks totally super-duper, color Ford grey.....and, I would snap it up in two seconds except I already got too much stuff on my 1/4-acre wf lot .... plus have no good use for a plow like this, not that that normally makes any difference. Like, what the hay, like who really needs a good reason to go buy a 1949 Ford tractor as nice as this one?

Has some serious look'n farm field traction tires with a strong set of tire chains installed .... and a power take-off in the rear awaiting to power whatever.
