Why not go with a quad and cab on it if necessary. Great for fertilizer as well

Very doubtful you'll get a tractor with cab under 6'. 35x or similar would be over 7'.

Can't understand how those undrpasses aren't made at least 6" to a foot taller. At 6' alot of lads would have to stoop to get through which not good for your back. What would it add to the cost, very little percentage wise l would think.

As underpasses are very expensive for versions tall enough for equipment most farmers just use the underpass for the cattle and a quad. Everything else goes across the road.

very little is right but I went for 6 feet because I wanted to pipe the storm water to a water course near by at that I have a 3 inch fall in over 100 meters but it works fine

What size wheels available for a 35 or 2000, 28 or 32 inch, and that's just the rim. Add another 10 or 12 inches above and below for the tyre. Then measure from your waist to your head (waist should be roughly level with top of tyre when on tractor) and then allow another 12 inches or so headroom for the cab roof.

You'd probably buy the likes of a kubota rtv for similar enough money to a 35 at this stage, and have 2 proper seats, bit of a cab and storage box on the back for bits and pieces... Would fit through no problem and be as easy on the juice to....

Mitsubishi Pajero jr might do the trick, more comfort and 4wd too for going out for the cows. Friend of mine bought one for his father a few years ago, picked it up for €150, heater, lights and radio all working, took out the back seats and he can throw a few bits into it, has even brought a few new born calves in it too.
