New to Tractoring !

GreenAcresAL · Nov 21, 2016

Good morning from Alabama !! I just bought a brand new (to me) ... used 1998 John Deere 955 with FEL, Bush hog, belly mower, and tiller over the weekend. It is my first tractor to own/drive/play with. I am quite excited. I have 50 acres of land, mostly wooded, that I will be tending too. I had to comb over the forums to figure out how to even crank it up (did you know these things require a key !!!) :laughing: . This site has tons of knowledge and I look forward to learning as much as possible to keep this little hoss of a tractor running and hopefully can provide help one day.

Thanks for all the available info,
GreenAcresAL

p.s. Yes .."Tractoring" is a thing !

Welcome Al,

Your going to want to get into a shop and have them perform a 400hr. service on it. Completely go over it all fluids and filters if you haven't already. That old of a tractor always assume nothing was done to it and do it yourself or pay to have it done.

Then.. have a neighbor with Tractor experience show you some things about it .. do's and don'ts.. that would be my advice..

and Welcome to TBN!
