Thx guys, good info, I dont really need one, but they look like they could push/pull a blade nicely, I have about 250+yds of gravel drive around the yard, and a 6ft front blade from a buddys Blazer that needs a little repair but no tractor about the right size for it, I could put that on a Bronco II but I would need to buy proper dozer lights, the police dont like seeing blades on a truck without the them, they dont think much off my off road lights on the highway either... but I talked him out of that ticket. Lack of a rear pto wouldnt really be a concern to me, or can they be fitted with a small fel? that would make a nice little acreage tractor I think.
The Hydro 86 is almost too big for my purposes, its an 8000lb tractor, although with the snow we got last winter I was lucky to have it here, at one point I had 8ft of snow between me and the 9ft door on the shop... that was fun seat time. I needed something for some landscape work last year and got it cheap enough but now its not getting much use, but I could make use of something in between it and the GTs
Since the mods moved this thread to 'off topic' can I sneak in a pic without a Cub without gettin in trouble? I'll try, have a pic with my most stout garden tractor, a Columbia 960, with the IH hydro 86, I think a LoBoy would look pretty good parked in the middle
