Replaced my 20 year old Simplicity that was falling apart. Doing the first oil change this weekend with the 300 hour synthetic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cloaca du jour 2,064 Posted June 3, 2022 Its been a good tractor..3 yrs old. Taking the deck off can be a pain...all them damn clips. Get an impact wrench to take blades off. Let the spindles cool before using the washout port or they will suck in water and rust quick. @GutterBoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MTSkiBum 1,594 Posted June 3, 2022 My grandpa from Altoona, PA always calls his riding lawnmower a tractor. Although, to me a tractor starts at a small Kubota with PTO drive/bucket. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Every day I would tell my kids it was a sushi joint and we need to go there, they were all excited. Took them months to figure out it was machinery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know in the past you have made fun of how much research I do, but if i was in your shoes I would join a tractor forum like this one. Generally you will get the most helpful information from actual owners. The forum seems fairly active with hundreds of posts from May. If you google "best small tractor" you get articles that are practically useless, like this one. Good luck in your search 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've got a small Kubota (40hp maybe?) that I mainly moves bales around with in a horse pasture. I'm certainly not an expert on them but I am around them all day, every day. Kubota is probably the most popular for small hobby farms and general use around larger yards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
