while I like old tractors best for puttering and working the dirt,

I'm on my third new Kubota.

All 4wd, HST, loader machines.

no problems ever.

Loaders on old tractors are basically a joke, just a shovel replacement.

My 33 hp Kubota with a loader will easily out loader work

my loader equipped Ford 5000. (except for massive weight lifts...even then, I think the Kubota will almost match the lift power, but it's too light even with counterweight)

Biggest complaint with new import tractors, is they are light in weight.

I sprung for the factory backhoe on my new one (should have bought the BH years ago!)

Amazing BH power, too much really for the tractors weight.

Whatever tractor size you think you need, go up at least one series just for the weight factor.

The B7800 I traded in on this last new one had fairly low hours, but every minute was hard loader work in tough clay.

Held up fine, even doing way more than it was designed for.

I did give the LS local dealer a long look. Cheaper, heavier, and

and they advertise they also make the 'other' blue ones.

Went with Orange again, because of my previous experience with them, and I can't afford Green.

ps your post says snow, and heavy clay mud.

all dealers will try to sell you the industrial tired ones they have on the lot.

Be firm, Ag tires or I walk.

My first new one, I let them talk me into the R-4's, better with a loader, resale, blah, blah...........HA, deep snow, ice, wet clay,...totally useless.

traded it in within a year(switching to Ags would have been very expensive)
