My little tractor

That bail weighs 875 lbs and the tractor 1250 without the bucket.

Back tires look a little low.

I'm impressed. I wouldn't think the hydraulic system would even pick up that kind of weight. What is that bale, 3x3x7 or 8?

I run one of those at work. Trusty little machine. Loader won't lift much to speak of, but the 3pt has some stones

JD730 Probably 8' but I would have to measure. I only use it for the horses so the bucket is a real back saver when it comes time to clean the paddock. I have a 2 yard dumpster/trailer that gets dumped every other week. With a homemade trailer hitch on the 3pt I don't even have to get off the tractor.

Wow that is a lot of weight, I'm surprised it would pick that up!

Bet it was fun when you had to get started from a standstill huh.

I put a few good sized logs on the carryall on the back of my little Yanmar and unless I started out in low range the front end would get REAL light!

Is that a 7510? I had one but it wouldn't run my finish mower so they took it back and upgraded me to a 7610. It's amazing what these little "toys" can do.

I load 12 bails on my 20' gooseneck and use my wifes durango to drag them off the trailer. The front end does get light, but not bad. It's a bx1800 and definetly no toy.It will dump a load of dirt in the bed of a truck.

But will it turn this tight while doing it?

No Steiner dealers around here, thus, no Steiners.

That one is a Power Trac. Four wheel hydraulic drive. Hydraulic PTO, too. No dealers for them anywhere. Factory direct only, and you get to wrench it yourself -- frequently, I might add.

Ok, I had seen something similar to one of those over on the TractorByNet forum.

What kind of motor does it have?

Yes, TBN is the only active Power Trac board I know of.

Mine has a 25 HP Kohler. I believe the current production gassers have air cooled Robins, while all the diesels are air-oil cooled Deutzes.

Power Trac has a website, http://power-trac.com.
