JD 250

[Cowboy Billy]

Ye Haw its time to start cheating again I got a new toy :{_}: I've been wanted a mid sized tractor 40-50 hp for working in the woods three years ago. My brother Tommy disagreed and said we should get a skid steer since it could do a lot that a tractor couldn't do. So we have been looking off and on for a skidsteer for two years. They have been either too much, too far away or junk. I was looking for a Cat 236B. But we came across this JD 250 with 2580hrs that was the size we were looking for its got foot pedals which I don't like but I hope to change it to pilot controls. 64 hp turbo diesel 3 cylinder came with a bucket, pallet forks and the optional weight box so it has a 2100 working load and 3600lb lift capacity. It also has aux hyd on the boom so I can get a grapple bucket and a hyd posthole digger.

It runs great starts without any smoke and was well taken care of. It also has all new rubber. To say the least I can't wait for the ground to freeze so I can give it a workout.

Thanks Danno

I can't wait for the ground to freeze up enough to give it a work out! Its been wet and raining here for a month and I can't even drive a tractor without ripping up the yard.

Thanks S&W

Sure does! Makes me happy just thinking about being able to clean up all the brush piles I have around the farm. Get in the wood maneuver around and pick up all my logs. And be able keep things pick up and organized.

Thanks WW

That's for sure. But one of the biggest things is that it will take the load off of my wheel loader. Its old and has booko hrs on it and doesn't need to be run out just to do a little job. Plus not having to climb up six feet to the cab thirty times a day.
