Hi all. Looking to gather some reviews on the new released JD 2025R. What do you think of it? I understand it shares the same loader, autoconnect deck, backhoe, motor, as the 1 series. Is it worth the upgrade to the bigger tires and slightly more hydraulic flow?

There is a CL ad in my area whom has a Massey-Harris # 3 baler for 150 bucks. Listed in fair condition with a broken needle. Ram and hay chamber runners rebuilt last summer and baled 3000 bales last summer as stated in description. I am looking for a project baler as a backup. Is this unit...

My neighbor down the road is looking to bale about a 200 bales from a small field using a 14T and his JD 1025R 25 HP small tractor. All flat land and dropped in field. I told him I had my doubts. He picked it up for 500 bucks in working condition. I know this baler has low HP requirements, but...

Hi all. Recently had the opertunity to test out a 1978 B7100, 4x4 with factory FEL and backhoe (factory frame mounted) for a day. It's got 4000 hours on the meter. Some slop in the pins, but no major oil leaks from any of the cylinders of valves. It runs like a champ. I moved a small pile of...

Hello all! Newbie here... First off, thanks for the great forums here! Today I went to my local JD dealer to see the 1023e. This is my first "utility" tractor as I am in need of a small loader/backhoe for around the property. Anyway, I have a few questions on pricing and the options. I wanted...
