Quoting Removed, click Modern View to see dave I have 4 acres at my home place here that I do a little haying on plus a couple of other small fields close to me, I started out in 95 with a va case, no 3pt. no live pto. and had to add external hyd. for my blade plowing snow in the winter, bought a ford 8n with 3pt and no live pto, it seemed to me to always be struggling with snow plowing and work around the acerage, traded it up for a case 310b 30 hp. with 3pt. still no live pto. it did great till I got my jd.336 baler and again not enough tractor for the baler, keeping the 310b for raking, garden work and my general chore tractor. picked up an mm m-5 for the baler, very happy with it, live pto and more than enough hp. and torque. dual remote hyd. the point I'm trying to get to here dave with all this rambling is for your friend to get a big enough tractor with a loader right off and save himself a lot of struggling like I did. how many acres do's he have? what are his plans for the place? both now and down the road, it can get very frustrating not having enough tractor for the work your doing. I would recommend your friend get at least a 40 to 50 hp. 3pt. live pto, rear remote hyd. with the loader that way he can have a lot more options with the attachments he buys for it. so dave the question now is what tractor fills that list? and also going by my experience things will change and this way he has a tractor that can adapt to a lot more situations and needs. this is just my experience dave and how I would go about it I was just starting and knowing what I know now :lol:
