Broncohauler

Thanks guys

Ok you guys got it all over me on that one?Like carrying gas in a styrofoam cup

Jack thanks your just the one I needed here. The 3032 and new 3025 use all the same components and frame as your 3038 except horsepower.

The PTO is only 19hp will this handle a 48-60" brush mower. Very little use on about 5 acres. Almost all work is with a blade or may build a log splitter if it can handle it.

What's the problem there having??

The Deere is winning so far unless someone changes my mind and I do thank everyone for your help. 3) dealers in my area 2 of them do repairs. Kubota only one dealer I not impressed by. Kubota I'm told you pay for Warrenty work up front then get reimbursed. Deere no out of pocket,'that's big. Masey we have one dealer for sales and one other for repairs. Not exited about that. Deere made in USA except motor? Kubota made now in USA don't know how much of it. ? Masey made in USA now I'm told bought out by Alis chambers ? Mihunda made in India parts hard to get? Branson no local dealers foreign made? Deere just feels better and more comfortable, The down side but worth it is the new 2017 tractors won't be here till April, but for $ 3k savings over 2016 model that have DPF and egr. I'll just wait. If anyone else has input jump in. Thanks Charlie

I've used both also 3/4 rock. I like chipped asphalt best

The price goes way up over 38hp. 25hp and under means no DPF and I like that,less to go wrong. What I like about the 3E tractors is the E stands for economy, which means less bells and whistles like cruise control but far less electronics to go wrong. I'd want all the good stuff if I ran it all day like a lot of you but simple and more reliable is more important for my use.

Ok thanks

Had that in mind thanks while having one still small enough to use around houses

Thanks John

We have a dealer that sells both Deere and Masey I'm going to go see them to do a side by side and drive both thanks.

Not a bad idea thanks.

The only rentals are kubota and I plan to demo a JDI know our rain is limited and that's why I've waited so many years. But when we get hit it's hard and rentals aren't always available when it happens weekends and the middle of the night. I look at as when I got a old forklift my loving wife said ok but look side ways at me, but she uses it more than me?

You guys also mention used. I've been looking with in 100 miles of me for about a year,and can't find anything under 10k and don't want a full size skip loader. The price so far on A brand new Deere 3025 with loader and bucket also hydros on 3 point 25hp so no DPF with 6 year powertrain and 1- year bumper to bumper that can be up graded to 6 year bumper to bumper for another $1200 Asking price is $19,969 OTD They all offer 0-60 month financing which I normally would pay cash but why not and let my $$$ stay in investments? What do you think thanks? Charlie

So I know must of you have much larger tractors and property that needs that. Do any one have experience with the smaller units like the JD 3032 or a kubota 2501? I will be getting a 60inch Bucket and box. I will also have them put on hydraulics with 2 rams on the 3 point so It can articulate and I can set the camber in our road. Is this a good idea? How are these compacts with a brush mower say 48-60 inch? I know Mntom you said the JD had problems. Our local rental yard won't put one on the smaller kubota because people break the shaft some how.

Thanks guys your always a big help. Chad I have thought a lot about bobcats. In my area they are a lot more expensive then a compact. My main purpose for the tractor is to grade 1200 feet of dirt road every time it rains. We also have a drainage ditch around the front of our property that needs to be graded after big rain. And some small work at both my son and daughters houses. A friend now clears my ditch with a bobcat in trade for biscuits and gravy , But the road is a problem. Carl your the reason I came here, I know you had some problems and appreciate opinion on parts and dealers. So what I'm getting from all of you is go with the best dealer support which in my area is John Deere we have two of them. I don't get a real good feel from the Kubota dealer or salesman. All of you here and quite honestly all the salesman said don't get a backhoe just rent a trackhoe for my little use.

Thanks for the input Jim. I like the 2 pedal on the JD better than the rocker pedal on the K. The JD fits my 6'4" 235 lb size better also.

Hey guys I hope you don't mind but not HDT related. I'm looking for a compact tractor for residential use, grading our dirt road and things of that nature. I could use your opinions as to what you like or don't like. I'm looking at 3 options now 2016 John Deere 3032 has (DP filter) 60 inch loader and box scraper. 2017 John Deere 3025 NO (DPF) 60 inch loader and ganon $3k cheaper 2016 kubota 2501 NO (DPF) 60 inch loader and ganon The deeres are cheaper than kubota but if later on I want a backhoe it won't work on the John Deere's I know many of you have these and would like your input Thanks Charlie

I'm not a follower either that's one of the reasons I have the peterbilt and a early bronco. Otherwise I'd have a diesel pusher and a JK with whatever the latest and greatest bolt on parts are? Not sure I understand you here though do you have an air ride hitch mounted to the peterbilt? If not I strongly recommend getting one after that you should be fine.

Sometimes are best ideas and intentions just don't work out. And when that happens you can keep throwing money at it or adapting to attempt to make it work or throw in the towel and do like most all others are doing. That said I think you're attempting to make this work with both the semi and your pick up truck. Maybe would be better to put a standard pin box back on the trailer to work with your pick up and if you haven't already go with the trailer saver or ET on the Peterbilt. Very big expense I understand but do you really need the air ride when using the F4 50?

Those are some really good ideas

I have said before and I will again. I wish someone would build a toyhualer that is based more on semi parts. Frame, axles, brakes and tires. BUT at a price a blue collar working man can afford. I understand we use to be a small group. But you see more and more HDT and MDT trucks every day.

If your thinking about a new trailer How about a travel trailer instead of a 5th wheel? I have thought about it but haven't found one I like yet. I also still need the garage for the wife's rhino or bronco.
