The TRUE Hidden Costs Of Owning A Sub Compact Tractor

I bought my little tractor for just under $25 K CAD delivered, thinking the big spend was behind me—then the “hidden” costs rolled in. A third-function hydraulic kit so I could run a grapple, the $3.3-thousand grapple itself, forks for pallets, a rear blade for snow, a box blade for grading, a quick-hitch, a stump grinder that cost more than my first car, and of course a truck-and-trailer setup to haul it all.

None of that shows up on the dealer invoice, yet those add-ons have basically doubled my original outlay. Maintenance and insurance are pocket change; the real budget buster is the endless stream of attachments you convince yourself you need once you realize how shockingly useful a sub-compact tractor can be.
