In early 2007 I started looking for a compact tractor with a FEL primarily for snow removal, property cleanup, bush hogging, pumpkin groowing, general utility work that comes with living in the country. Looked at the big name tractors and the prices were just too steep for me. A friend of mine...

My daughter has a 30 acre hobby farm. It is a combination of highland, lowland, and some wooded. There is a drainage ditch that goes thru the lowland that over many years has started to fill up with dirt. I would like to start cleaning out the ditch. I have a 30HP Farmtrac tractor with...

I received a letter today from the attorney who has been appointed Receiver for Farmtrac North America. I suspect many others who purchased a Farmtrac tractor in the recent past have received the identical letter. In the letter it states: "Please submit all claims you may have against Farmtrac...

First off I do not own a Kubota. I own a Farmtrac 300 DTC. I do visit this site frequently as I find it to be a great resource of general information for tractors and things related. After visiting this site for maybe 6 months I started to take note of the number of "Viewers" to each...

My tractor has a 30 HP four cylinder Mitsubishi motor with 50 hours on it. The last two times I started it, it started fine but maybe on only 3 cylinders. After maybe 5-10 seconds it smooths out fine and runs great. I plan on talking to the dealer about this but would like to get an idea...

I am coming up on my 50 hour service on a Farmtrac 30 HP tractor which calls for a 15W45 oil. I want to go with synthetic oil. I was planning on using Amsoil but locally I can find it only in one gallon containers, of course I need 5 quarts. I do not want to purchase 8 quarts when I will only...

Hope you "Green Boys" don't mind a "Blue Boy" hanging around. I bought a Farmtrac 30DTC which is basically the same tractor as a Montana 3040. When I was researching what to buy I relied on this Montana forum allot. I have had my tractor about 2 months, have 30 hours on it and I am very happy...

My King Kutter Brush Hog uses a grade 2 bolt for a shear pin. When replacing a sheared bolt I have been tightening the nut, in effect putting the bolt in tension. Does putting a bolt in tension affect its shear capability? Would I be better not bottoming the Nylok nut, leaving a small amount...

OK, I just acquired my first diesel tractor, a FarmTrac 300DTC with a Mitsubishi motor. This is replacing a Ford 8N. When using the 8N I would use an additive in the fuel to help with using unleaded gas in an engine designed to use leaded fuel. In the winter I would add an additive to prevent...

Took delivery of a FarmTrac300DTC with FEL and Tiller several weeks ago. I am 62 years old and feel like a 6 year old at Christmas. I had done months of research on compacts, allot of it on this site. Knowing that Montana tractors are the same I read with interest all feedback on them also...
