Does anybody have any experience with brush hogging on their Montanas? I hadn't gone through a single shear bolt on mine since I bought it, and once I did it was a nightmare. I bought a pack of grade 2 bolts from Menards, but sheared every single one of them on startup, never even got to mow...

Finally got rid of the skidsteer to switch to a tractor for chores around the homestead. I have previously owned a 1960s Allis Chalmers, but this is my first "modern" tractor. The Montana only has 292 hours on it, but the buddy I bought it from got it on trade for another piece of equipment so...

I have the above machine, this one is built by LS Cable. I use it primarily for mowing our field with a brush hog on the PTO. It runs for a while and then will just die, acting like it's starving out of fuel. Starts right back up again and then may stay running for a while, or may just die...

I am trying to figure out what year my Montana 3840 was Built. The Serial Number is 21F4F4AF0268. On the Data plate it says LS 360D. I am thinking it is a 2007 or 2009 but I am not sure. I am planning on Selling it and just want to be able to tell potential buyer what year it is. It only...

Greetings all - looking for some guidance on my little ghetto tractor. Montane 3840, previous owners seriously abused & neglected it from new to ~ 1600 hours. Left it where it "stalled out" until 3 years later I offered $1000 for it and its FEL (with a busted arm). I'd just closed on my first...

New member here. Chance to pick up a Montana 3840 cheap cheap. Only significant issue is the front loader mount is broken (previously welded, poorly). Any pointers on finding a replacement? Reasonable guess as to cost?

I am replacing the Water Pump on my Montana 3840. I am wondering do I place sealant on the paper gasket or not? Will the gasket be enough of a seal without the sealant?

Is there an adjustment I can make to help save the clutch on my Montana 3840. Was turn plowing my garden yesterday when I started smelling the clutch burning. What is causing this? Tractor only has 704 hours on it. This is a geared tractor.

Looking for advice and for reviews of a tractor I am thinking about purchasing. The tractor is a Montana 3840 4wd with loader. Low hours in very good shape. Does anyone have any advice on this tractor. I know they are no longer made but I am told this is the same as a LS tractor, is this the...

Hi you all, I am the owner of a 3840 Montana tractor for 8 years, with a front-end loader. The starter safety switch has gone bad, so I can only start it by using a screwdriver on the starter. However, I was able to get the replacement part from PartsforMontana tractors, but no one can get...

After many hours of research and many hours of reading these forums, I finally pulled the trigger on Montana. I was stuck on three tractor manufacturers, Kioti, Branson, and Montana. I have forty acres at the foot of the Kiamichi mountains and need the tractor to keep the place up. I made...
