Tractor questions

Here in California we almost live by skidsteer tractors. For logging they are priceless. When we have snow one can easily earn several thousand a day, but we live in a resort area. They can be tricky to keep up if you do not fully understand hydraulics. Here in the mountains with or without tracks there is nothing that can compare to the amount of work that they can do in a day. Thanks

Here the plow guys (some of them) who do driveways make me laugh. They don’t have a clue how to plow with a one ton dump truck. My old Willy’s makes them look silly. You angle the plow and push the snow side to side right and left till you make a path. When the snow is deep. They borrow the home owners snowblower and park the truck. My Jeep “Christine” loves a challenge when the snow is deep. Christine is like the movie she never fails to run. She sits all summer waiting for the winter. Lol

Apparently they’re great. Tractors with a bucket/blower is more common where I’m located. Cheaper, too.

Thanks for the info!

Just have to look around and see what can be had. I stumbled across my little Branson from one of my in-laws neighbor. Don't be scared to look at tractors that aren't John Deere green or Case IH red. I'd definitely prefer a Deere, but for what I paid for my Branson 4520C, I would've had to have an open-station Deere and still would've been $5-10k more even being open station. It really just depends on what your budget is. Facebook marketplace is a great resource. Craigslist is ok, but definitely a lot more scammers.

Good morning,
I am looking for technical information about the tractor Hinomoto NX23. Unluckily, nowhere to find it.
Does anyone know where to find a product manual ?
Thank you in advance.

Hinomoto out of business in the 1990's. I don't see owner's manual, operator's manual parts manual or service manual available for the nx23.

Might give this place a call to see if a manual is available
https://www.jensales.com/search?search=kubota 23 manual&limit=100

Not sure if the Kubota BX23/nx23 is the same as the Hinomoto NX23.

Hello, Ben
I contacted jensales yesterday. As well as southern-global. Unfortunatelly unsuccessfully.

I'm not sure if Kubota BX23(?) is the sames as Hinomoto NX23 either.

Valuable info below:
https://tractors.fandom.com/wiki/Hinomoto
https://www.tractordata.com
"Hinomoto was the trade name for tractors produced by Toyosha, of Japan.
Toyosha can trace its roots to plows built by Denzou Tanoue in 1863.
Hinomoto compact tractors appeared in the late 1950s and have been exported worldwide. In
1990, Toyosha was purchased by Hitachi Construction Machinery. Hitachi changed the trade
name to Tierra in 1997."

I'll keep up searching for an equivalence confirmation: Hinomoto vs. Kubota, Massey-Fergusson or Deutz-Allis.

I kindly appreciate your endeavour and time.
