re: 25 HP Tractor

I had pretty much settled on one of these last year when I was ready to buy. Things slowed down for my wife and I had to put it off. Buck is right, it's very easy to adjust and get 35hp out of these tractors, just not sure i'd do it during warranty.
Thats interesting. Is the transmission and hydraulics up to that much of an increase? For all I know they are the same on a 35 HP but it seems like it might tax them if not? I have done the same thing with a bunch of 9.9 Mercury 2 strokes, made them into 15 hp engines, but they are the same other than the carb jetting. Never had an issue with one of them but given the stresses in an outboard compared to those in a tractor and hydraulic system it seems like it would be too much. Not overly concerned about warranty, in my experience even the best warranties are worth about what the paper they are printed on costs.

I have a bobcat 25, love it
light duty only (moving shite around, loading and unloading dirt/mulch/gravel), pulling stuff, etc
it’s very nice and very comfortable to run
We have a HUGE bobcat dealer about 5 miles from the house. Have had some good experiences with bobcat skid steers in the past. Their sub compact tractor prices seem pretty reasonable. What kind of weight can you lift with the bucket?

holy cow.
What kind of saw mill are you using?

manf stated capacity on the FL6 is 700#'s
i expect you could lift more but you'd better have a counterweight
the CT1025 itself only weighs 1500#'s

Hydraulics and transmission are the same as the 35 hp models. Only difference is the 25hp model is detuned and doesn't have the emissions required for anything over 25hp. Lift capacity is the same on both models regardless of HP.
Also, Bobcat tractors are just Kiotis with a different paint job, so everything mentioned probably holds true for them too.

The 1825 massey definitely holds its value well. Post covid the used tractor market has went down, the market is flooded with 2501 kubotas and 3025 Deere so their value is down, but there’s not nearly as many masseys on the market.

We have a 1977 Massey 255 that’s still working in the hay fields pulling a Tedder and a rake.
Recently we shopped new tractors to replace our worn out Deere 6400 and while I like the new Masseys my dad didn’t. So we went back with a Deere 6155M.
Mechanical and power wise Massey is great but the interior on a cab tractor sucks compared to a Deere .
In smaller tractors I really liked the kubotas we ran when I worked on the golf course and the hydrostatic drive is great for loader work. I think I also remember running a smaller Deere with a loader and hydrostatic drive.

LOL….not much of one. Woodland Mills H22 with a 9.5 HP Kohler. It’s pure insanity. I’m normally pretty logical but when I started getting prices to haul them off, either to the landfill, where not only would I have to pay to have them hauled but also pay to get rid of them, pay to haul them to the pulp mill 14 miles away or pay to haul them to the PT Lumber mill 6 miles away I dug my heels in. I would have given them away, I’d have paid a couple of grand to get them hauled off, I wasn’t about to pay $10-$30,000 to have them hauled off. 7 different logging companies. None wanted to do it at all because it’d take 8 hours and apparently they make $1250-$3000 an hour hauling pine trees. You wouldn’t know it by their equipment but that’s the price range I was getting. I got them taken down, limbed, bucked into 12-15 foot logs and root balls removed AND hauled off for $6500. Also got the lot raked, silt fence up and about 20 tons of gravel. Licensed and insured contractor. He couldn’t get anyone to haul them off for any price. It’s the damndest thing I ever saw. So now I have what a forester measured and said was actually 77,000 board feet of 40-75 year old SYP that can’t be used for anything that has to be inspected. It’s a helluva pile of lumber.
