Pick a make and model. Full spec sheet, owner videos, and similar tractors on one page.
Find a model →Pit up to four models against each other. Engine, hydraulics, hitch, weight, warranty.
Open comparison →Written guides on choosing tractors, hydraulics, PTO, hitches, and maintenance.
Read articles →This is a 12-year ownership retrospective, not a spec walkaround: a carpenter recounts real maintenance he's done (hose replacement, wiring/grill fix, greasing, hooking up the backhoe) and gives frank, implement-by-implement opinions on the loader, backhoe, mower deck, rototiller, post-hole auger, and forks, including the backhoe's sloppy hitch and constant leaks. Best for buyers wanting long-term durability and real-world implement tradeoffs, not fresh specs or pricing.
