Chilliwack, British Columbia | What kind of tanker are talking, as well? Self loading vacuum tanker, like a Loewen? Or a Houle type? Local custom guy went from a 4000G (CDN) Loewen to a 6000?G Houle with the same tractor, and says he handles the Houle better. Not knowing much about the Kubota, I can't say what would be best. We have 2 110PTO HP tractors, one I wouldn't hesitate to put a 4000G Houle on, the other probably wouldn't last the year on!
Good luck, be interesting to find out what you end up with.

EDIT:
What are you doing now? Would a dragline setup work better? Or do you have too much too far down the road for that to work? IF most of your land is close, continue getting the far stuff custom hauled, and get a dragline setup for close to home. For the record, one of the local custom guys does cross non-busy roads, he rents a ramp type deal that the hose plugs into. Haven't seen it myself, but we may get him to use it this spring, if it works out on a feild we picked up last spring.
