416-8 or D200?

Recommended Posts

Hi Folks!

I'm in the market for a tractor with enough power to pull 8" capacity woodchipper trailer around the yard and on a trail into the woods. I think it weighs somewhere around 2000 lbs. I also may want to do some snowblowing wiht it in the future.

I found a 416-8 and a D200 on CL. Both are selling for around $1200.

Is there a clear choice in terms of value? Which one would you rather have to pull with?

I personally prefer the 416-8 over the D-200 but $1200 seems like a lot unless they are in really good condition with low hours and include attachments.

Revision:

I need to revise my opinion based on Cole's Dad post. The first time I read the post I missed the part about the 2000lb chipper(I was tired). I still prefer the 416-8 over the D-200 but I agree in that I don't think they will be capable of pulling a chipper that heavy.

Excuse me. But you want to use a WH 416 to pull a 2000 lb chipper? I assume over uneven terrain, up and down hills? Are you insane? A D-series MIGHT be able to handle that task. But certainly not a 416 or even a 520. Good luck.

Thanks for the straight-up honest feedback C.D. I do appreciate it!

I found the chipper specs. Total weight: 1600 lbs, Tongue weight: 220 lbs.

I have been using my Kubota to move it around by a ball mounted to the bucket since it has a backhoe where the towbar would be. Was hoping to find something smaller / more maneuverable. Maybe I'll just keep using the Kubota and consider it $$ saved and one less tractor in the shed. :thumbs2:

The D200 will out pull the 416 by a wide margin. It has more weight and more horsepower but both have adequate power.
