Manitoba, Canada | All models of bi-directionals have been very popular around here for years for use as a chore tractor with beef farmers. I never had one myself but they are supposed to be very handy as a loader tractor. The issues stated above were the weak points that showed up when people started carrying 2 bales at a time on the loader day after day. The reason I didn't get one is I use a loader as well as a bale shredder every day. I would have had to either take the loader off every day or hook the shredder up to the engine end and then visibility of the shredder would be a problem. Visibility is great for the loader end but that's the same end I would like any implement hooked up to. Being hydrostatic I've never seen any used for field work where any amount of pulling power is needed. Town has one now (9030 I think) they use around town for odd jobs, looks like a great snowblower tractor for sure. | |
