    G3033H Snapped Tie Rod

    My 2015 G3033 just had its first mechanical failure. I was brush hogging my food plot and as I started backing up a hill my steering got hard to turn. I stopped and saw immediately the snapped tie rod. I was able to limp back to the barn. Called my dealer and ordered a new assy which included...

    Self inflicted issue

    Well after 3yrs i have my first issue with my G3033H but it was of my own doing and has a happy ending. I was out clearing woods last Saturday and a tree must have gotten under the tractor and fractured a hydraulic drain line. I saw a leak on my way into the pole barn later that day. No...

    Oil & Fuel  Kerosene?

    I was gifted a kerosene heater. I kind of looked around at a few stores but don't know where you can buy kerosene. Keeping it tractor related I will heat my pole barn while working on my tractor this winter. Ha Anyhow, a friend told me I could use desiel fuel. That' sounds iffy to me. So I...

    Interesting old Cub Cadet riding mower/tractor

    I saw what I thought was an old Cub Cadet with a small bucket on the front. Meant to stop and check it out later but it was gone. It was a typical riding mower size and the bucket looked hyd. I know kubota makes a bigger BX style but does anyone know if any manufacturers still make these? I...

    What size Lawn Roller for food plot?

    I want to roll my food plot to firm up the seed bed before planting. I used my tractor to plow and disc a new spot last weekend. A cultipacker is pretty expensive plus worried my tractor would just chew up the loose soil too much. Tractor Supply has a 24"x48" steel roller that weighs 920# with...

    G3033H after one year

    Well, prior to the LS I owned a 1941 Ford 9N. For what it was that 9N was awesome. No 4x4, no live Hyd and just a heavy trip bucket that with no power steering meant I hardly ever had it on. I used the old 9N to mow with my brush hog and taking my life in my hands grade my up hill gravel...

    How to get PTO to run w/o being in seat-wood chipper??

    Both my tractor and my manual are up at my hunting land so I can't check the manual. Anyhow, I just bought a 3-point wood chipper (WoodMaxx) and wonder how to keep the PTO going if I am not sitting in the seat. Do you just flip the seat up? Saw a guy shove a splitting wedge between the seat on...

    Cutting side hill trails

    I have a lot of hillside on my WI property and have a few existing side hill trails that if I had one leg shorter than the other would be no problem to walk. Ha Anyhow, I would like to level them out a bit to make walking easier. Attachments I have are as follows: Front loader 5' back blade...

    Without a doubt a good purchase

    I took possession of a brand new G3033 this year and I have used it a lot on my 38 acres. I run a 5' wide brush hog for my mowing, put in two food plots this year, fixed/leveled out a trail that had a dangerous dip at the bottom of it. Graded the driveway a couple times (up hill), glad for the...

    Got my G3033H

    It arrived finally. I am really pleased with it so far. Rain stopped me from doing any actual work but this weekend Saturday might be the day I get to use the loader to do some Terra forming on my land. I am glad I went with the Hydro. I traded in my old 9N. I HATED to let it go but I just had...

    Is this Pole Barn floor idea crazy?

    I am planning on a pole barn build in the near future on my hunting land. My build won't be huge, maybe 24' x 30'. I don't really care about a concrete floor except if it helps keep mice out. My dad has a pole barn about this size with concrete floor but still gets mice... UGH, I hate those...

    What is the difference between this and a std pole barn?

    I was looking at metal buildings. I found this and the price with delivery and install sure sounds inviting. Also they say 29 ga steel which is what I think a good pole barn is. I know a pole barn has a wood frame but isn't this as good...

    I did it G3033H

    Just test drove and bought a G3033H with a loader. I thought I got a good deal. $17,500 plus $1500 trade for my 9n ($16,000 out the door). He threw in loaded tires. Also free delivery. I am only 25 miles away so I like that. Also said if it needs service for warranty he will just come get it...

    Out of state guy who bought from Barlows

    (Also posted in the general buy/pricing) I have been talking with Brady Barlow about a kubota L2501 HST w/AG tires and a loader. All sounds good so far. What is the procedure once you have gotten in the pricing ball park? I have rough numbers but nothing laid out to a bottom line. I assume he...

    Buying Advice  Need to choose plus price check

    I posted a similar thread on the buying advise forum but figured i would ask here too. I have a 9n that I have used for 14 years. I mostly brush hog with a 60" hog. Also use a 60" back blade and disk. I have a small shed I keep the 9 in so size matters. I just want to upgrade a bit but still be...

    Comparison  Going from 9n to modern

    I went tractor shopping today. Locally I have a Ford dealer and a Kubota. Kubota said a good replacement for my 9N is a L2501(21k) but I can save 2k by buying a B2650 (18k) both have a loader. I am leaning towards the B2650. Ford has a 4wd 1720 about a 1995 model for 11.5k with loader. My...

I use the tractor to brush hog mostly but also have a nice disk, 5' back blade and 2 btm plow. I love the 9N but since my land is very hilly, I am thinking about moving up...
