In the near future I will be looking to buy a new scraper tractor. It has to lift a 6 foot box scraper. The only problem is I have one passage that is 7 foot wide and 9 foot high. What do people recommend for the job?

I had the use of a NH TN tractor with supersteer this summer. Ultra low cab, simple mechanical shuttle, very well built. Very impressed.
New, haven’t a clue, Kubota have a good rep, a lot of the big brand stuff seems built to a price.

I would also give serious consideration to a hydrostatic option, both new Holland and kubota give the option.

We had a JX 60 case and an equivelent New Holland and they used to eat clutches .
Was the N Holland a TD version?
Could it be bad driving??

Modern big compact tractors iseki/kioti/kubota 40/50hp will run rings around a small big tractor. Hydrostatic would be ideal but body have clutch less shuttles and power shift gearboxes.
Reliability won’t ever be questioned

Think the NH was a 5 series , never had clutches in the Masseys we used to have , i think profi did a right up on the Jx 60 and the clutch was a poor point on them .
