Thread: Yard tractors

I agree with Glen. Front end loader is a must. I've had a JD 1025R for a few years and it's been a big help. The mower deck and snow blower round it out usefully.

Ok what's an FEL? I guess buying something that has other capabilities would be a good suggestion, although not sure what I'd do with a front loader, but maybe I could expend the scope of my yard! Tc

FEL = Front End Loader..

It is really amazing what you end up using them for once you have them, ie: they ain't just for moving dirt, rock & snow

I swear I don't lift anything over 100# any longer without mine

Point in favor of a FEL! Thanks guys. Tc

as I like to tell the wife I am not just getting older, I am getting lazier, and smarter as I get lazier

AMEN Glen !!!!

We got a Kubita tractor up at the farm in Mo. But I never even considered a mini tractor,, as far as price goes your right there not much more Tc

When you have friends over you can fill it with ice and beer too :<0)

Gotta love those forks too. I even use mine to jam them into a large pile of wood chips I'm slowly composting. The forks work well to get air into the pile.
