). I have already been assigned a small project for next year, building a flat stone walkway. I have hauled the stone, in the past, from the creek at the back of our property. I use a wheelbarrow...UGH! The creek is down a STEEP old hard pack gravel road, with just a couple ruts, total length is maybe 400'. With the turfs, and the low tree branches, I don't dare take the 2320 down there. One of my neighbors says I am nuts for NOT using the 2320, he is familiar with the road and thinks the 2320 would be fine, and he owns a Kubota L4630 and a B7510 so he is also familiar with tractors and their abilities. But the x7's more compact size and HDAP tires, makes me wonder. I would be using a 10cu.ft. poly cart, and I wouldn't be putting a ton in it. But, properly ballasted, would a x7x8 be up to the task, or am I nuts? I know these machines aren't 4 wheelers, but... Thanks for continuing to humor me on this whole x7 quest!
Always careful to suppose how something would work for a described project, but I am very happy with the traction my x728 demonstrates with the HDAP tires. Not sure about you, but last winter was one of our biggest snow winters in my memory, certainly most snow since I've lived and plowed here (25 years). I had no problems. Late last fall I cleared some dead and dying oak trees and one very large poplar. I cut most of these into 8-10' sections, between 30-50" across and drug them into the woods for a better time to tackle final cutting, splitting and stacking. My tractor was making new paths while pulling logs I had trouble rolling with a Peavey. (That's me and my assistant in my profile picture, standing beside one tree worth after I consolidated them in the woods and out of the way) I think you'll be surprised at what you can pull. That said, make sure you load your trailer so that its tires are still floating on your path surface and not sinking in.
