I bought a 4610 when they first came out and it currently has a little under 300 hours on it. I bought a brand new tractor so that I wouldn't have the headache of working on older equipment all the time. Well in the time I've owned this tractor I've had nothing but issues. My dealer has been...

I'm considering buying a baler and have read many threads on them but I'm not sure if I need all the bells and whistles on a first one. I was wondering which new balers I should take a look at? I have Vermeer, M&W, John Deere, New Holland and MF dealers all near me. I guess I should get net...

I'm looking at a used DS4510 with about 1000 hours on it. It has a loader included and a rear remote. It seems like a decent basic, no frills, tractor. Are there any known issues with these or anything to be sure and pay attention to? Also what would a good price on this be? Thank you...

Looking at getting a bare bones tractor for some hay raking, running a tiller and some light brush hogging with a 6ft cutter. I don't need a loader or 4x4. The price on this tractor is very appealing but I can't find much info on people that actually own it. Can someone chime in and let me...

I'm looking to find some real world opinions on Kodiak brand cutters. The model I'm specifically looking at is the 3615. It comes in cheaper than the Land Pride, Rhino and Bush Hog cutters in my area. There's not much info out there (That I could find) on people with real world experience, so...

I bought the MF 4610 tonight. It won't be delivered until first of next week, so I'll have to be patient for a few days lol. They have to install the radio, move the tires out a little and fill them. It was a long search for me and I appreciate everyone on here that helped me out. Also, if...

I'm looking at Kubota, NH and Massey. I'm starting to lean toward Massey but I wanted to clear something up first. The other dealers are telling me to be careful with the Massey because it's a 3 cylinder vs a 4. Since I'm new to this can someone give me the pros and cons of this? I'm sorry...

I thought I had my choices narrowed down to Kubota and New Holland and then I looked at the Massey again. The Massey seems pretty nicely built and everything seems solid. I didn't like the cab as much as the other brands I mentioned but I can save a few thousand by going with it. Also does...

I'm new here and trying to buy my first tractor. I recently purchased 98 acres and am in need of a larger tractor. I have three local dealers JD, NH and Kubota. I ruled out the John Deere 5085e because it was almost 3k more than the 8560 evenly equipped. I know this isn't exactly apples to...
