Just recently purchased a new 5055e.... So far very happy with the machine. I have read most of the bad, hoping for the best. I do have a couple issues though... Finally put her to work yesterday in the woods skidding logs with our farmi winch, again super impressed. Twice though got the...

It'll never have that "new tractor smell," again. Performed wonderful, skidded several sizeable pine trees, some headed for the mill.

Santa is hopefully coming today! My first new anything (excepting a snowmobile) is scheduled to be delivered today. '14 jd 5055e, w/H240 loader. Can't wait, it's very surreal.

Put money down today on a '14 jd 5055e with h240 loader. Dealer gave me some pretty darn good pricing and a good trade in on my old unit. Really excited, planning for deliver week of Christmas. Only issue, I want r4's it has r1's hoping to swap them out. Thinking about buying a set of r4's...

Hello, thinking I am close to pulling the trigger on a new JD 5055e tractor with a H240 loader. Also trying to trade in my Massey Ferguson 461 on it. So far I have heard from one dealer, of two that i would like to work with. They are both about 45 min away so that is a non-issue. The dealer...

Quick question to anyone that might be able to help. I have a 2004 MF 461 mfwd with a Quicke Q710 loader. It has 850 hours and is in pretty good shape. Runs good, but does have some scratches and wear. Tires are in really good shape 70% or better. Thinking about trading it in. Any thoughts...

Hello all, Been trying to get the electrical system squared away on my tractor... Need some advice. First of all, relatively new to me machine, instrument cluster just replaced prior to my purchase, allegedly the machine has about 1000 hrs.. On the cluster some idiot lights seem to work, at...

Just recently bought a newer tractor, got a 2004 MF 461, so far a really nice machine. Few things though, that are kind of a bummer that maybe someone has experiance and can offer me some assistance on. Although I didn't buy a brand new machine, I didn't quite expect these to be bad...

Looking to replace my old Massey Ferguson 40 industrial. It runs mint, with regards to the engine (perkins 152 diesel), but everything else is pretty much hammered to death. I really want 4wd, I am open to any brand, but the old Massey has been really good to me. Plus my Dad has a Deere and I...

Hello All... Need some advice. I am a pretty sizeable tractor lover.. been in love with them my whole life. Have had two now... first a '52 Ford 8n... and now a 1971 Massey Ferguson 40 Industrial. The massey was a disaster when I bought it, still looks horrid- needs a painting really bad...

Hello All, First off thank you, hopefully someone will have some advice, so I am thanking ahead of time. I am looking to purchase a newer tractor... this will be my third, and I roughly go twenty years newer each time. I currently have a Massey Ferguson 40 industrial. I love the tractor...

New to the forum here... been a huge tractor guy since I was a little kid. And now have had a couple, first was a '52 8n and now I have a 1972 Massey 40 industrial that I have slowly been rebuilding. Engine runs like a top (3-152 perkins diesel) but the rest of the tractor sadly is a bit of a...
