[TheForge] Buying a tractor

Thu Jan 22 19:41:00 2004

How much do you plan to try picking up with it? You have to remember that
the full weight of the load plus the weight of the tractor will be supported
on the two front tires at the maximum load.
It looks like a 1/4 yard bucket. A 1/4 yard of gravel only weights about 800
Lbs.
