    New trailer today!

    After a long road of needing/wanting one after the upgrade to the 110 and need to trailer it, I pulled the trigger on a 2010 Sure-Trac 20' 14k lb (bumper pull). The previous owner said it only had 300 miles on it, and the condition shows it. I did go the bumper pull route just because I need to...

    Millermatic 211 Purchasing Help

    I started this thread on another forum, but would like to post over here for some additional help/advise. So I convinced myself I NEED a welder and now I've convinced myself I NEED to spend 3 times more than my original budget, but although I think I want a 211, I'm still open to suggestions...

    Trailer Shopping!

    I think I've found a trailer for myself. I want/need something new for hauling the new 110 back and forth and around. This weekend I took a look at a couple places and the most notable trailer I saw was a brand new PJ 14k pound 20' with 2' dove tail and 5' fold up ramps. I'll post a couple...

    Anyone else getting the links to ads in the text?

    I understand that this is a for profit site, but these hyperlinks to the in text ads is over top, or is it just me. Key words like "John Deere" or Kubota" will create hyperlinks to an ad. I don't mind the side banners, but really not a fan of these hyperlinks. Anyone else agree or am I just too...

    I say goodbye to the 3120

    Just dropped the 3120 off. Didn't go very far, just to the neighbors, but I officially have one tractor less. He is getting rid of his little New Holland T1110 and upgrading to a real tractor. I always teased him he got it from Toys R Us;) But now if I ever need a slightly smaller tractor I can...

    Deere 110 with BB1284 box blade, not working properly?

    Just got my 110 and took the BH off and put the BB on just to make sure it worked. I'd already tested it out on the 3120 and everything worked, but I wanted to see how the BH came off and make sure all was working before I took it to the cabin and a lot farther from any service people. After...

    Why are no JD dealers on TBN??

    This forum is pretty well represented - we've got Bota dealers and Kioti, New Holland, Mahindra and so on. The big brands are pretty well represented, except there is not one Deere dealer! What's up with that? I can't imagine why it would be against any corporate policy that they couldn't come...

    Email Subscription

    After the upgrade (whatever it was) last night, I don't seem to get the email subscription any longer. I guess it's not a huge deal, and I only subscribed to a few threads that I really wanted, but when I got on I saw that those threads had been updated and I wasn't notified. I was wondering if...

    New (to me) JD 110 Coming this Way!

    John Deere turns 175!

    I ran a across this visiting the Deere site today. An American company the last 175 years. Very interesting story. It all started with a better idea for a horse drawn plow, and to look at the machines today, they have come a long way. I took this little snippet out for what their future looks...

    4 in 1 vs Grapple and Std Bucket

    As you probably know by now through all of my threads I'm looking into a JD 110. A couple that I've narrowed down to either have a grapple and a std bucket or a 4 in 1. From what I understand the grapple is a little better with the brush but I'll be moving more logs and dirt than brush. I like...

    New Mahindra MAX SCUTs

    I saw the article on the TBN homepage and I thought I'd share. Look to be pretty good tractors. I checked them all out, and although I don't think they have as many features as some (JD 1026r in particular) but I think the pricing they'll introduce on these could have a lot of people looking at...

    Deere 3x20 "Error 61"

    So I fired up the 3120 after getting a couple inches to plow the drive. Started right up, no problems, let it warm up a little and then drove it down and started plowing. Got maybe 2 passes done until I looked at the gauges, I noticed it said "Error 61." I didn't want to harm the tractor if...

    Best way to sell privately

    So as some of you know I'm looking to get a JD 110, I've found some of the best deals through private sellers, who don't really want a trade and even through a dealer they won't give what it's worth. So I was wondering how all of you sell your machines (besides just CL, eBay). It's practically...

    IH Farmall Cub

    So I've hijacked a couple threads talking about this one so I figured I'd finally start my own. My great grandfather bought this new in 1951 (I believe I still have the receipt somewhere, it was crazy cheap compared to today) and now I inherit it. Great little machine to tote around and has...

    TRACKED M126X Kubota

    I had the day off today, so what better to do than to visit every dealership within 100 miles of me? Stopped at the Kubota dealer and this thing really caught my eye, never seen a utility tractor with tracks in person before. So I figured I'd snap a couple pictures for my picture loving friends...

    It probably won't be until next spring before I get anything but I need some advise. I've owned Deere tractors all my life and have a great relationship with the dealer, no grudge against Kubota but the local dealer wasn't the best so I've I wouldn't be as interested in a L45 and would prefer...

    So I've convinced myself that I will be getting a 110 over a full size TLB and keeping my tractor but as I look I can't find ANY with ALL the hydro options. So my question is which ones would you find most important. I saw one with both the fel remote and the remote on the bh but didn't have the...

    Benefits of JD's 764 High Speed Dozer

    Not that I'm in the market but I LOVE looking. I was wondering what JD wants with their high speed dozer. I guess what I'm saying is that I don't see a huge benefit over a regular dozer. I would see it as being less maneuverable a lot bigger and don't see how the extra speed would really benefit...
