bean 85 #1 Posted November 23, 2011 hello, I have located a b-80 4 speed,(which i like the size of) but am wondering if I need to get an 8 speed tractor, for garden plowing, pulling, etc. with that in mind, what compares to the b-80 8 speed? is the c-81 essentially the same, or is the b series smaller. also, how does the b-80 compare to the 308-8? I would like to stick with 8hp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kelly 1,029 #2 Posted November 24, 2011 Well the early B-80 4 speeds were about 3" shorter than the other tractors at that time, all the 8 speed tractors are normal long frame tractors, yes a 8 speed will fill your needs better than a 4 speed, I personaly like the tractors with the gas tank under the seat better, but that is just me.

bean 85 #3 Posted November 24, 2011 kelly, I suspected the 8 speed was the better choice. I will hold out for an 8 speed, 8hp. :dunno: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
