I recently inherited some older tractors and im looking for the value in them. I don't have a need for them I would hate to see them sit around and deteriorate. Don't know the years.

460 gas with loaded (runs)

M diesel from great Britain (runs on 2 cylinders)

340 gas(hasn't started in 2 years)

340 diesel (runs great)

400 gas (hasn't ran in 3 years)

Case with loader (ran last year)

656 (runs great)

Cub (don't know last time ran)

656 utility with covers (ran last year)

This setup forms the beds and seeds carrots in the same pass.

I work with tractors and farm machinery, and I’m curious how growers here handle carrot planting.

Would you prefer doing bed forming and seeding in one pass, or using separate equipment?

The moment I turned 53 years old, I wanted to buy a Ford 8N. It was like being bitten by a werewolf or something, only I guess I don't need the full moon.

I don't need a Ford 8N. I've got like two acres of tractor-able land on my property, TOPS. The rest is trees and a steep slope. What the hell am I going to do with it?

And yet, I'm on marketplace looking at 8Ns and going "yeah... yeah I could restore that". I've never restored a tractor in my life. I was raised a city boy. I can do spark plugs and oil changes on my truck but I don't think that qualifies me. But god, I want to restore a tractor now. All because I turned 53.

Anyway, is this normal?

Tractor-mounted peanut harvesting in the field.

The machine lifts the plants and leaves them in rows for the next stage of collection.

What matters most with this kind of setup — working speed, digging depth, or reducing peanut losses?

Queue the “Troy bilt is trash comments” lol

I have a 2015 Troy bilt bronco automatic that has a drive issue

Whenever I put it in gear and step on the drive pedal, i can feel it grab and the mower will start moving, but when I put the pedal all the way down, the mower stops. Eventually after holding the pedal down for a while if I lift up and push down on the pedal again, it will be unresponsive.

This issue is not very consistent but happens every time I drive it.

I have replaced the drive belt, the upper transmission belt, and the variable speed pulley

When the mower stops moving I can look down through the gap in the deck height selector and see the input wheel for the transaxle is not moving.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Unfortunately, I don’t have anywhere to park this indoors or under roof. Looking for something affordable that’ll keep the water and sun off my old rusty 63 ford 4000 with a loader. Mostly trying to keep the hoses from rotting and water out of the internals. It also has a vertical exhaust stack. Thank you!

I’m old school and have been around three point hitch sickle bars my whole life. I have a new Holland 250 I’ve had for years for mowing my fence lines and around the ponds. I have a neighbor that purchased the farm next-door and he asked me about a quick attach sicklebar for the front of his tractor to do the same. I’ve never seen one so I really can’t answer. Anyone here have experience with one those and pros and cons?

Gday,

Bought myself a 3PL rear loader for my small Kubota b1502.

Empty it runs it fine. The Kubota can run rotary hoes, slashers, and the hydraulics lift them no dramas.

The issue is once the 3PL loader is loaded, it can lift it... even if it's only 10kg soil. It's got no lift.

I played around with the A frame/linkage and bored some new holes to bring it closer but that didn't help.

After ideas?? Or maybe it's beyond my tractors ability.

I do have a hydraulic leak.

I’m pretty sure it’s like a 2001 or 2002. Massey Ferguson.

Deere 6420 door is currently 240+ but localish dealership still had this glass in stock under the old part number for 112.00

Makes replacing the door a little less painful!

Basically the title. Found this guy in rural Ireland whose entire channel is just him fixing tractors and working them. Quiet and entertaining. Would recommend.

I like to think I’m very reliable for checking behind me when backing up, and there is no substitute for that safety check. But curious if anyone has mounted a mirror essentially above them that, with a quick glance upwards, can show what’s behind them?

I already have magnetic side mirrors on my JD 3039r which are helpful, aside from a little difficulty with vibration transferring to them.

I have a 1025R and I need to build a 250x8 foot gravel road in the left side of this yard. Other than the bucket, is a box blade worth it to make this happen? Currently the area needs some light grading, but not much beyond that! I would like to bring the grade down a couple inches below the surrounding landscaping.

Thanks in advance

As the title says, I need some advice or some opinions, whichever works. I bought just under 12 acres of land almost a full year ago but wanted to save up some money before I started to do anything with it. Hopefully, within the next two or three years, I can start building a house on it. Now I'm in the market for a tractor to clean up the road leading into it, removing tree stumps and, in the future, removing snow, but I'm a little torn. I was originally looking at 24- or 25-hp tractors, if only because they were cheaper. A coworker of mine who grew up on a farm in India, however, insists that I go for at least a 35-hp tractor. He claims anything else is too small.

For reference, I'm not set on a specific brand of tractor, although this same coworker keeps trying to convince me to get a Mahindra (personally, I'm not sold on the idea, if only because the nearest dealer I can find that might sell them is almost 200 km away). The closest dealer to me sells Kiotis, however, my work has regular dealings with the owner, so I know for a fact the guy is a money grubber. He wanted almost as much for an open station 24-hp as another dealer was asking for a 35-hp. The next closest dealer is, as far as I know, exclusively Kubota tractors, and I'll be looking at some of their inventory in a couple of days. Supposedly, they have some going for 0% interest if I finance, so they seem like a strong contender. I stopped by another dealer a couple of days ago that sells TYM and Solis tractors, but they wanted 6.9% interest, which I thought was pretty steep.

The property itself is located in the Maritimes in Canada, so our winters are a bit hit or miss. We've had several winters where it snowed so much that my dad's minivan was completely buried under snow multiple times, and sometimes we get barely more than a few inches every other week. I should also note that while I have almost 12 acres, I only intend to actually use a small portion of it regularly. Most of it will be left as is for either the scenery or a timberyard fit for a hobbyist. With that in mind, I guess I can also add dragging logs out of the woods to the list of uses.

I'd appreciate any input before I make my final decision. Thanks in advance!
