I can appreciate your experience snrub. Certainly where the newer stuff is concerned. Equipment, rather it be tractors, lawnmowers, chainsaws, whatever, is a great example of getting what you paid for, I believe. I'm hoping the 45-50 hp tractors I'm looking into are robust enough to handle their bucket. Stripping gears out of the front axle is not on my to do list.
I'm also a big fan of not using something to its capacity, certainly not all the time. If I find myself doing so, I've purchased the wrong machine, and need to go bigger.

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1) And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1) Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT? PB answer: It depends.
