I have a similar property and driveway. I bought a Kubota MS5100 4x4 open cab and it worked for most jobs I had but found myself always needing just a little more tractor. I bought a Case 75c Farmall used and love it, does anything I need it to do. Be sure to get a third function valve and a...

You definitely need a tractor and will always need one just a little larger than what you bought. I my opinion unless you’re strictly doing row crop work, the tractor should have a loader and 4x4. I had a Kubota BX1800 with belly mower and FEL on an acre. I used it almost daily for something-...

I also am in east Texas on 30 acres with many trees to clear and clean up. I made the mistake of buying a 50 hp Kubota 4x4 and had a third function valve installed for a grapple. It would have been good for a hobby farm for branches but it was clearing logs. I sold it and got a Case Farmall 75...

Thank you!

Thanks, I’ve called WR Long because I purchased one from them in the past. They said they don’t have anything that will work on a Ford Industrial tractor which I don’t understand and could not offer any suggestions for me.

Was that a Ford part or aftermarket part? You’re the first person that has offered some help figuring this out. I appreciate it

Thank you for the reply, I will check the shift handle. Do you remember how 3rd function valves were added to the industrial tractors to operate a grapple and such. I would like to add one to my other tractor, a 1998 545D but can’t find any information about it. Only to use a rear remote and...

I have a 445C with a shuttle shift 8x8 transmission with torque converter and and no clutch pedal. I have owned about 3 years and has always worked perfectly until about a month ago it started skipping when putting in forward and reverse. It’s like I had a declutch button pushed and let go but...

Thanks for your info

I haven’t tried to shift it into the parking gear but I will. My tractor is a 2014 model, I was told when I bought it at an auction some years back. It’s a 75C

I’m having an annoying issue with my cab Farmall tractor while using it. Without any known reason, the parking brake light starts blinking and a buzzer starts buzzing. It only lasts a few seconds and then will repeat several times. It’s sporadic when it happens and I can’t recreate it. I thought...

Does anyone have some insight on getting the radiator out of the front support. I can feel a bolt on each side under the radiator but can’t get my big hands and a wrench in there. Can anyone offer some help

Anyone know why these tractors need the glow plugs for starting even when it’s 95 degrees outside. I’ve never owned any other diesel powered machine with this problem and they both do it. Is there something wrong with them.

I split my tractor to repair the tranny and change the clutch. I had to remove the hydraulic pump during this process and re-installed after the tractor was back together. Once that was complete, filled with oil and started the engine. The pump would not prime so I added several more gallons...

I can't find where to check the fluid level on my tranny. A service book I bought on Ebay shows a plug on top cover for adding and a plug on a side cover for the proper level. My transmission has neither of those plugs. I haven't been able to find any other info on it or what fluid to use...
