Long time ago now, but my father used to haunt the equipment dealerships in search of good deals on tractors that he could buy cheap and repair himself. Not for re-sale. Just for his own use. RB On 04/04/2018 3:02 PM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes wrote: No idea, probably too high Sent

That fits with other advice I've gotten. I've also read to go up on power with a hydro tractor which is why I'm thinking the 27 instead of the 20. Smaller size is important to us for mowing around trees. I'm thinking maybe loader backhoe and bush hog but I could probably give up the backhoe.

If you use it frequently, you won't regret getting a real pallet fork with a quick-attach interface. My loader has the skid-steer quick attach interface but I think John Deere has their own version of something similar. The quick-attach makes changing buckets, forks, etc. very fast and easy. By

The clamp-on forks are useful but with two drawbacks: (1) you can't see what you are doing when the bucket blocks your view and (2) you will bend the bucket if you overload them (the loader is stronger than the lip of the bucket). Still they are quite useful for the money. I got a set just to
