    Two more things. A friend has a B6200 4wd kubota with hydrostatic drive and a loader (not 4in 1). I've gotta say he's thrashed the daylights out of that poor little machine over the last 20 years, and its still going strong. About log splitters. My neighbour and I where going to build or buy a logsplitter to run off my tractor hydraulics. After researching the issue, we ended up buying a tow along petrol powered splitter ( made in China)that was cheaper than the parts to make one for the tractor,and the hydraulics run the ram cycle about twice as fast as a tractor based one because of the two stage pump. It works horizontally or vertically (for the whoppers that you can't lift),and cost $1500. Don

    I am out of agricultural machines for few years now and lost track of the legislations.
    I believe the are if a dealer sells the tractor, at least in some states. However if you buy privately you may get a tractor without ROPS. I do not know the laws. I have seen tractors being used without ROPS.

    Hey thanks for that Piddler. I think I'd go nuts with the manual.

    I'd really like the LA145 because its got the wider cutting deck, but funds not permitting hopefully I can at least get one with cruise control on it.
    Cheers
