The Garage Thread: Tractors and UTVs

[Campgottagopee]

Ever wonder why you can find so many blowers that can hook on to the back of a tractor so you can blow in reverse?

My tractor has a front PTO. One of the main reasons I got it.

Yea I was in same boat when I was looking. But decided on a utv with a suspension because messing around in the woods…it’s just better. It’s all a trade off, the Kabota at least when I was shopping didn’t have independent suspension so I opted for a Can Am. But boy I really wanted that Kabota definitely more rugged but was worried about the weight and suspension fit in the woods.

Bobcat makes a good machine as well, they're all over the place up on the Tug. Must be a good dealer up there somewhere. Bobcat and Kubota really are workhorses, but, as you say, not very versatile when compared to other makes.

More helpful info. So the Kabota 1100 maybe all you need for snow removal, but it's not the fun nimble ripper for the woods?

It looks like the front PTO on most Kubota tractors is a separate attachment? Camp, yours is part of the machine?

This is true

Yes, and it is on the Kubota as well. They attach using a front driveshaft on the front PTO.

Get the rear spreader too.

Camp can you put a blower on the front of yours?

Yes
My old house had a paved driveway, that's why I bought the blower. This house is just stone, that's why I bought the fel. Changing shear pins when it's -10 out is totally a kick in the brix.

The blower was like 3500, as was the fel. Now, they're easily double that. Shits crazy out of control right now.

Realistically - what is the rough cost for harvey to get set-up to clear his driveway? That Bobcat above has a list of around $72K.
