    Values for old tractors

    Hello, My brother recently passed away and left me with 9 old tractors to deal with. I'm trying to sell them, but I'm not sure what a fair value is. I'm not an old tractor person, so I'm completely clueless here. They are currently not running, have been sitting for years, but they all arrived...

    Land Pride: RCR or RCF?

    I'm looking at a new brush cutter. My land is mostly flat, no rocks, a couple stumps here and there, and brush less than 2" in diameter. That's pretty typical of the geography around here, which is likely why non of the dealers stock anything heavier duty than these. So....I have one dealer...

    New gearbox for SQ720?

    Well, after almost 20 years of faithful service, the output shaft on my SQ720 sheered when I hit a small stump. Is there any economical replacements available, other than the $600 OEM replacement? The blades have also worn the steel through on the stump jumper around the blade bolts. So maybe...

    Heavy duty bucket?

    We just signed an agreement to by a MY17 2032R. For $175 more we can get the heavy duty bucket. Is it worth it? I can't see a little tractor like that being too hard on a bucket in the first place.

    How long are parts available?

    How long can you typically get parts for John Deere equipment? I have a 4600 now, made in 2000, so it's 16-17 years old. This tractor was only made for 4 years or so, so when do I need to start becoming concerned about parts availability? Are the 460 loaders, belly mount mowers, etc, still...

    Typical discount?

    Looking to get either a 2025R or a 2032R. Getting quotes from a dealer with about a 14% discount off of MSRP. Is that pretty typical? Good? Bad? This includes the current 2 implement $1200 rebate. How far can a dealer generally be pushed?

    Pipe layer for subsoiler?

    I've been researching a pipe layer attachment for the back of my tractor. It looks like most start with a subsoiler and add a curved pipe n the back. I've tried finding one to buy, but the only one seems to be from Agri Supply Company. Are they the only commercial one available? There...
