Hate to admit it but I have a 8n 52 Ford that I have used the hell out of and abused forever. All I do is put gas in, check oil,check coolant . Haven’t found anything it won’t do. Worst case scenario for it’s so simple you can rebuild everything yourself if needed. I’m sure it will outlast me. Makes you appreciate what made America Great.

I retired and moved to the country last year. I have a long gravel driveway and I fought the snow best I could with a snowblower last winter but I’m ready to say hell with that and get a compact tractor with a blade. I would use it for spreading gravel as well. Probably something in the 25-30 hp range.
I don’t live in a very populated area and there’s only two tractor dealerships close by - one’s a Kubota, the other’s John Deere. Any advice on these two? Get a Cab tractor, you can thank me later..

Buy your equipment today from my friend in Devils Lake.
Some sort of bobcat dealer.
Ironhide? Ours came from ironhide. My closest dealer is Bemidji mn. But I sent my boys out to Williston to get ours. They would have delivered for free but I needed it faster than they could get it here.
Something clever here.

i went through this recently, i was upgrading from a 30 hp, wanting to get into a 45/50 hp. I loooked at new holland, kubota, deere, bobcat, case ih. I settled on a bobcat 45 hp 4 wheel drive, hydrostatic, with loader, pallet forks, bush hig mower, bix blade. That was in June. I'm over 130 hours on the bobcat now, I like it, a lot. Huge amount of leg room, suspension seat, the hydro trans and controls are excellent, loader is very strong. I did a lot of excavating with it in June, July, August. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/coiM1Eg.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/Q6ClDhM.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/AjiWtOp.jpg) The bobcat was by far, the best value. I am pretty sure they are rebadged Kioti tractors. Designed by bobcat, built by daedong who also builds kioti. I think new holland is more of a rebrand than bobcat these days. LS tractors. Bobcat sold compact tractors until somewhere around 2011-2014 then got out of tractors. They just re entered the market with seemingly agressive pricing breaks and incentives. I wish my front axle has more articulation than it does, other than that I have no gripes. As others have said, the tier 4 is a regen, like an exhaust filter cleaning cycle without def. Thats 100% false, it’s a rebadged Kioti just like last time... bobcat does not manufacture tractors at this time.

Kubota without a doubt. As an extra the Kubota QA on the front end will except any std skid loader implement. Don't go any less than the 26HP tuned to 25

Had John Deere tractors at work and hyd pumps were a constant issue. The New Holland and Kubota were far more reliable. I would also look at Yanmar tractors. Get something a bit larger than youll figurre what youll use as a mininum. Youll be glad for the extra capacicy at some point.

I bought one of those 8ns to mow grass with. Couple times around the yard and I was rid of that thing just as fast as someone would take it.
