What year is this tractor? Would you say that these newer tractors in the 30+ horsepower range are probably more powerful (or maybe they handle their power more efficiently) than the older tractors that are in the 40-50 hp range? I’m thinking about like a mid 70’s Ford 4000 compared to a tractor like this. Any thoughts?
@@wildcatwilly it would be for utility. I’m not a farmer but I own land that is always needing maintenance. I already have a couple old tractors and it seems these new tractors can handle all the work I would give them and it seems like they do it with less horsepower.
If you're just doing property maintenance I would highly recommend one of the newer hydrostatic tractors... Power to spare and very user friendly. If you're going to go plow with a four bottom all day for a month I would get something older and heavier.
I would have to agree with you, the newer tractors seem underweight for the power that they have. If you cant put that power into the ground, you will just be spinning your wheels. Calcium in the tires would help and probably a weights in the right place.
Thank you for all the basic info. Just got a DX 40 and I am learning a lot.
You're going to love it!
Very good tractor.
I agree!
Very helpful! Thanks!
No problem.
I have a stupid question, were the heck is the hood release on these darn things?
@@zogmac I think it is on the left hand side it is a little table of steel sticking down very inconspicuous

My first question has to be what are you going to do with it?

Yes they engineer them light so they can ship them across the pond.
Sure looks flimsy compared to comparable Kubota L series. Good video though. Thanks.
I don't know much about kubota's. But I would love to Duke it out Head to Head. She is tiny but mighty. Haha
