    Pulling with Kubota G1800 Hydro

    I picked up a Kubota G1800 Hydro at auction for a good price. Great little mower. Normally I use my Massey 10 for all of my "ground engaging" lawn implements like roller, dethatcher, plug aerator, etc AND for pulling a small 10 CUFT lawn trailer. Recently the Massey had some issues so it is...

    Is a sub compact useful when you already have a compact.

    I need some help deciding if a sub compact should be in my future. I have 1.5 acres where I live and a 40 acre hunting property. I have a Massey 1736 already but keep coming back to times where I feel like a sub compact would be useful for chores around the house but I just cant quite sell...

    Removable Hard Cab

    Any companies out there building premium removable hard cabs? I haven't really seen this from any of the manufacturers OR aftermarkets. Seems kind of silly that this is not a thing.

    Disabling seat and neutral safety features.

    I have a Massey 1736 with only about 12 hours on it. I really like the tractor but have already gotten annoyed with both the neutral safety switch and the switch that shuts off the tractor when you get off the seat. I can completely see this function as being important in a gear tractor but in...

    Massey Utility/Mid Level

    Possibly going to be looking at a Massey Utility/Mid Level tractor in the next year and wondering which are the better ones to look at. I like the 1700 series as a premium Iseki made tractor and am interested at getting something bigger in the 70-100 HP range. I was interested in the 4700 series...

    How to tell if tires are loaded..

    I know they say there is no such thing as stupid questions but this seems like one. What is a good way to make sure my dealership loaded the tires like they said they would. I bought a smaller tractor but I picked up a vehicle frame that only ways a couple hundred pounds and the rear end seemed...

    Grapple Build, suggestions for bushings

    I am going to be building a grapple for my new tractor. When it comes to plate steel I have no problem. I have a CNC plasma table, welders, etc so building the actual grapple I have no problem with. I have little experience with hydraulics but I have a good connection for that so I am just...

    Adding rear remotes

    I ordered my tractor with 1 rear remote. I went through the implements I saw myself using and that was all I felt I needed right away. If I decide to add more, is that something that I can do myself without voiding the warranty? I imagine I can purchase the kit from MF to do it.

    Finally made my choice! Should have a deal closed tomorrow, pending financing.

    I spent time reviewing pretty much every different tractor out there and ended up picking an LS 4155H. The price is right, it has plenty of features, and I like the dealer better than any of the ones I went to. As long as financing works out I should hopefully take delivery around the end of the...

    Cab tractor for around the home?

    I have read many threads on cab vs no cab and the basic consensus is that if you can afford a cab you should get a cab. My question is, if the primary use for a tractor was going to be for around the home would a cab be annoying? I plan to use the tractor mostly around my yard and shop and also...

    Leaf/Apple Pickup

    My parents live in an old orchard so every year they have a huge task of picking up tons of smaller golf ball sized apples and tons of leaves. Its generally an "all hands on deck" job for a couple weekends. I have been trying to find a good large scale option for picking up all this debris but...

    Massey Equine Program

    Looking at purchasing a Massey 1754. I don't personally own horses but my in laws do and one of the uses for the tractor will be helping out for all various needs at their property including mowing, hay, snow removal, etc. Does anyone know if we would be able to qualify for the program or is...

    Picking concrete with FEL

    I am buying a tractor and a house. The house has some old concrete sidewalks that I want to remove. Obviously this would be easy work with a backhoe but I am pretty sure I am not going to purchase the backhoe with the tractor. I was thinking that perhaps some type of fork or spike on the front...

    Creeping forward with a shuttle shift

    I am buying a tractor soon. I have driven HST's before but don't have much first hand experience with a shuttle shift or power shuttle. Long term I plan to do quite a bit of field work and things where I would prefer to have a shuttle shift. I also plan to snowplow my driveway and other around...

    2754 vs 2759

    My local dealer stocks the 2754's but not the 2759s. Has anyone had any personal hands on experience with both machines? It seems the 2759 is maybe just a little bit heavier duty with the planetary rear axle.

    Any experience with X4 line?

    I am somewhat interested in the X4 line of tractors. Does anyone have experience with any tractors from this line? I find very little in the form of reviews, youtube videos, etc about them. I know McCormick is not as popular in the US but I still thought I might find some info about them.

    X$.20

    I was pretty set on a Massey but the X4 series looks great. Does anyone know rough pricing on the X4.20? How is North American support for the Mccormicks?

    2555 vs 3550

    I was wondering what your guys thoughts were on the 2555 vs the 3550 in general. Prices look to be similar and it looks like the 2555 has the 3550 by 5 HP and that is about it.

    Yanmar Super Expensive?

    I am looking around for a tractor and was considering a Yanmar as one of the options. Yesterday I got a quote back on the 359C at $44,600 including FEL. I was also interested in a backhoe which was an additional $12,500. Overall I am quoting similar models from LS, Kioti, TYM, Massey...

    Buy big or small?

    I have been researching and thinking for two months on what I wanted for a tractor but I couldn't make a final decision until we bought a house. We finally placed an offer and had it accepted on a great house for my family. Its not on acreage like I wanted but its a great house with an awesome...

    Adjusting Axle Width

    I know on older tractors you can adjust the axle width for things like cultivating corn. Can you do this with the LS tractors? Considering buying one but making sure its going to work for planting and cultivating corn.

    I am wondering if you guys see any issue with having farming property be 30-60 minutes away from where you live. My wife and I are purchasing a new home and although I have tried to get her to move us way out into the country where property is cheap it simply isn't going to happen. Property...

    Smaller Tractor (60HP or Less) with Cab & Backhoe?

    Does anyone make a smaller tractor (60HP or less) with a can & backhoe where you can operate the backhoe from within the cab? It seems like all that I find either can't fit with a cab or require operation from an outside seat.
