At some point over the winter, a check-link assembly did a Peter Pan and checked out into the great yonder. Since dealers are closed until Monday, does anybody know of an aftermarket check link assembly that fits the NX series tractors? Where'd half of it go? What it is supposed to look...

I tried to do a search, but this forum's search logic did not like my wording. "The following words were not included in your search because they are too short, too long, or too common: 2, two, or, three" This may have been asked before, but as my search would not work, here I go...

If you've ever wondered what a Mudder tractor is used for or what it is, here you go. However, this is one of those situations where adding more tractors isn't helping. https://www.facebook.com/reel/724163360189309?mibextid=9drbnH&s=yWDuG2&fs=e

Wondering if there are any good online sources for parts for TYM (legacy Branson) tractors. I've not found a thing for my new 4820. My dealer is in a small town 75 files from here, and they still sell parts like it is 1985 - call them on the phone, tell them what you want, and give them your...

I might have missed the conversation here, but it looks like SummitTractors.com recently added a front-mount snow blower and a few other items that might be worth checking out. “The Summit SBX60 Front-Mount Snowblower is a 60-inch attachment designed specifically for compact tractors, making...

Saw this today on a construction site. Big tracked Case IH tractors pulling scraper pans. It used to be the tracked Challenger tractors doing this but lately it’s been tractors more like these . The building an area for staging and storage for a new power line project. I assume storm water...

We just got back from a trip to Switzerland and Italy. Most of two weeks was in Switzerland but a couple of days in Italy. Switzerland is an amazing country, it’s mostly the Alps and passes and valleys. Very rugged mountains. The entire country is about 3.5 times smaller than Illinois...

Hey everyone, My name is Kyle, I've been a longtime lurker on this forum and I really appreciate the knowledge and camaraderie here. I've spent many years in the logistics industry, specializing in flatbed and heavy haul transport, so I've moved just about every kind of tractor, implement, and...

Grandson just spent $93.00 to replace an 18 inch hyd. line! I realize the threads on the fittings are the problem. How do you know what they are, is there a chart? Are they metric or pipe thread or something weird. Where do you get them? Can you get a fitting to plumb from pipe thread to...

My first tractor (Fordson E27n) cost me $200 cash. Brand new rear tires, but needed the main bearings re-babbited. (Mowing hills with only splash lube is a devils mix) The second tractor (Bolens HT, with a 54 inch mowing deck and snow blower) I traded for a Honda trail 90 that I had bought...

Help me think of what I have not thought of please. This will be a cash purchase so financing deals are not a consideration. We will probably keep the machine 10 years, so that will be the minimum age at resale. We have decided to replace our aging lawn tractor with a small ( think bx size )...

I have traded tractors again. Ended up with a new 4066r cab and a new open station 2025r

A few years ago, I purchased a brand-new BCS-738 Powersafe with Honda GX270. I reckoned that buying a new tractor, not a second-hand one, might be a life-long investment with my little use in a garden. Now, when the warranty expired, I see how was I wrong. From day one tractor had an oil leak...

Hi. We're looking at tractor options and I'm curious if anyone knows if a backhoe attachment is available for the M4? We ended up with an International 444 loader tractor earlier (42hp machine, 2wd), however at the time we were considering an LX3520HSDC. After running the 444 it is apparent we...

Are used low hour tractors something to be concerned about? For example, local dealer as a 2021 MF 1835m with 72.4 hours. That's like 18 hours per YEAR that the tractor actually ran! I once bought a low mileage F150 that had sat a lot and it was nothing but problems with leaky seals, gaskets, etc.

I have no idea what these Gravely tractors are worth. They were my grandfather’s. Any help would be much appreciated.

In the past I have used flat needle bearings and hardened race washers under the front axle to improve steering, would this be possible to do on my small Kubot that has a FEL? From what I've read adding power steering is more than I would want to undertake

Hello all, I have been looking at smaller 25 hp tractors to go with my big tractor for close to the house. A lot of them have aluminum housing in the rear. Besides the lighter weight, has anyone actually broke the aluminum housing or had any issues at all with it? Is it something that should...

I have a pair of Kubota tractors that don't get frequent use so, now that their batteries are at the "end of life", I am thinking about replacements. I know vibration from the motor and field can knock the plates over in car batteries and kill them, so, I was thinking about AGM options on the...

Im looking at selective logging compact ATV-like tractor. Typical cable skidders are all oversized for my terrain. Anyone have an idea where these isodiametric European designs can be found? And why they are not prominent in North America? They are ideal for maneuvering through dense, rough...

It appears we are soon going to have tariffs of 20% and more on anything imported from anywhere. What does this mean for us here at TBN? Unless tractors, accessories, attachments and parts get an exemption ("necessary services" or something), prices of imported tractors are going to go up by...

Looks like we have another new player in the compact tractor market. https://www.captainagri.ca/en/ My ATV dealer was selling Chinese Lovol tractors and he seems to have ditched them and took on these Captain's now. I wonder if these are rebranded or their own made-in-China brand? Curious to...

So I've changed up my search a bit after some chats with the wife to free up some funds for other needs around the farm.

Has anyone bought a Kubota Tractor from Boom & Bucket?

Hello, I have a 10 acre parcel in coastal BC with about 1/2 the acreage cleared. The 5 cleared acres quickly overgrows with brambles (blackberries), broom, and heavy grass. The land is undulating and gently sloped. There is almost no flat "lawn". My needs are primarily for brush and heavy grass...

This seems like a dirty move, not that other companies haven't done this, but there are some other things they have done other than that in the video that may tick you off. I was also wondering if anyone has a different perspective than what Chickanic says:

Wonder how long it will take to be in tractors??? willy

Any pictures of your older tractors that have been well cared for or restored? It's subjective but maybe 10 years and older?
