[QUOTE="Darryle, post: 2303146, member: 109917"] If he's actually talking saplings sub 5yrs old,, his 2500lb, sub 35hp requirements are more than sufficient. He can load the tires and gain as much as 800lbs, wheel weights gain another 3-600lbs. My very first tractor was a 125hp 4430 JD, currently have a 3032e and a 3046r, the e was a snap decision because it was a deal on Craigslist. Tractors are like LR shooting or hunting, they require knowledge and metric tons of common sense. That JD 22b ripper has a full 32" to the frame, things can be done that others plainly say can't. JD didn't want to order it for me, $1100+ purchase, great, 2 weeks later one showed up on Auction Time and was 2hrs away, $400 brand new. I have used it on the first 35 acres of the place, now that I own the remainder of this ranch we have 474 acres it will eventually get to work on. A grapple, rock bucket and wood chipper/shredder are in the future and I have no qualms running any of them with the 3032e rated at 32hp. Common sense trumps hp, I seen neighbors destroy bigger tractors doing less work than I routinely do. Besides, fresh air and the smell of burnt diesel fumes are more relaxing than reading dribble on any internet forum. I suggest re-reading his post and then logically thinking about it, it can be accomplished, just not with a sub 25/20hp tractor, for one, they couldn't get the listed ripper point to clear the ground to move around.
