I was also told I’m in danger of the hydro pump letting go eventually.

 

One of the reasons I got the Multione.

My little kubota b6000 is currently in dry dock after I completely shafted the steering box by consistently completely overloading the front axle....

Easily done with these smaller tractors. Broken the sprockets on the front wheel once and recently broke the wheel nearly clean off on our compact. Both times cost the best part of a £1000 in parts.

Oof, I’m getting off quite lightly with £250 for a steering box then. I am going to try and be more sympathetic with it, but in reality I know full well it’ll happen again!

I was the same after the first time. Loader is supposed max of 500kg but it spent it's life with that or more on the front while being bumped about. Just splashed out on a dedicated loader to save these 1k incidents but suspect I would have been better off just fixing when it's broke

It’s not just about money though is it?

No it's all the hassle of getting it sorted and the time you are without the tractor. These compacts can be brilliant but like anything we tend to find their limits.
