MONTANA 3130 DTH THE SAME AS THE MONTANA R2844 (NOTE: WRONG PRODUCT?)
Model Year: 2008

Even this web site has no idea that the MONTANA R2844 is the same tractor as the MONTANA 3130 DTH Limited!! BUT THEY ARE except mine is a pretty blue color which I much like better than that ugly JD green. When J.B. Hunt bought rights to the Farmtrac tractor line as it was going into bankruptcy , J.B Hunt took the remaining Farmtract 3130 HST'S and relabeled them as the Montana 3130 DTH limited. As they were limited to the stock at hand. And these were the first production of Farmtrac series from LS Tractor. They would still be making these beautiful powerful and durable Montana tractors, but LS tractor was very mad that they could not out bid J.B. Hunt for the MONTANA tractor line with it's 2500 dealers. Which is what they really wanted was the dealerships to sell their name badge of the LS Tractor in America. Well LS then told J.B. Hunt we will no longer make anymore tractors for his company Montana. That was a dirty deal in my opinion since Farmtrac/Montana really gave LS a huge leg up in the American tractor market. Oh well thanks to US house and senate taxing our manufacturing and our wonderful unions destroying our manufacturing we can't make tractors anymore in the US!!!! Vote tea party and get your country and tractors back here in the US! As for my Montana what a well designed tractor no problems and runs out perfect every day in our vegetable farm operation. Very sad to see Farmtrac/Montana tractors go to the wills of corrupt government in the US. Wake up America the corrupt democrats unions and rino republicans stole your country from you.

Pros: excexcellent power, controls, features, comfort and ease of operation
Cons: LS TRACTOR OF S. Kora Forced them out of Business

Nice Tractor, Very Sorry They Went Out Of Business
Model Year: 0

Although I don't have a ton of hours on it, I love my Montana. I did buy it new. I was so sorry when they went out of business. Love my backhoe attachment, MBH76---just right for me. Being an old, as in really old, farmboy, it took me a bit to get used to automatic transmission (er, hydro-static), tilt wheel, cruse control, seat adjustment to include cushing the bumps, and on and on (laughing). By paring up the high quality components and assembly in South Korea with the proven Mitsubishi diesel engine and a final assembly in the US, the end result is or was an amazingly well constructed small tractor. When I bought it they also had some from China. The difference in quality and strength of components was, well, there was no comparison. My local "used-to-be" dealer still provides service and parts in Gallup, NM.

Pros: Hydro-static transmission, tilt wheel, cruise control easy to use controls, easy to start with auto glow plugs, comfortable seat.
Cons: Kind of cumbersome to climb up to fill up with a 5-gallon can with the backhoe attached.
