expeatfarmer 591 #53 Posted September 12, 2015 Offloaded my trailer today ready to move my machines around using a temporary garage/tent I have put up. I used my Turftrak to pull the dead machines off the trailer, what a fantastic little machine it is , climbs slopes like a mountain goat, I was amazed that it could pull the skimmer the tracks are stiff with sitting for 25 years and on top of that there is a double reduction gearbox with huge wind up to overcome, no problem the hydrostatic transmission just steadily pulled, slipped a bit on the wet trailer and then it was off and towed it down the gravel easily. If anyone is looking for a powerful little tractor for trailer work or just around a big garden then this is the machine to go for. Trying hard to find a front loader for it as well as the rear three point linkage. It tows my big twin axle car trailer about without missing a beat superb machine. 4 Ian, diggerjames, Stormin and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #54 Posted September 12, 2015 Mmmm! I wonder if I'd be allowed if I came across one at a reasonable price? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

expeatfarmer 591 #57 Posted September 13, 2015 Mine is a 420 model 16D fitted with three cylinder Kubota engine ( a brand new one ). I have just found a front loader in USA, from pictures it looks as if it comes with most of three point linkage parts, waiting to hear from seller. Steiner also make a snow blower for the front which would be very cool! 1 diggerjames reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #58 Posted September 13, 2015 A snow blower would be handy for you Johathan up there. I can't help thinking that with a 3 point and narrower ag tyres, it would make a good ploughing tractor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
