I have posted a few questions regarding specific tractors in my quest, but now I think I am down to three finalist. All a little different. Alot of this is based upon availability as I need a tractor within the next three to four weeks. The main use is on a 20 acre vegetable farm. I have a...

I think I have decided, at least on paper, that I want an M8540 ROPS with no loader. I was on the fence on the M7040 or the M8540, but as the price difference is so small and I need a tractor for tillage work I am leaning towards the heavier tractor. Up here in New England though, no one...

I looked at a C70 (last years model? with 4cyl Perkins) with an L160 loader. Looks like quite a powerful machine and for a fair price. Claims to be a old IH design other than the engine. I like the simplicity of it and the power/weight. Is anybody else using one? Can't find many reviews...

I am now looking at 5325 with 16 hours on it from a local JD Dealer. Still has warranty left through next spring. Also has a 542 self leveling loader on it. I don't really need another loader but could always use one that is a little stronger than the C-50 on my Century 3045. Drove it and it...

I am considering this tractor, but I live in Ma. The shipping quote on it is reasonable if the tractor is in good shape. Here is a link to it on Tractorhouse. 2002 JOHN DEERE 5420 40 HP to 99 HP For Sale At TractorHouse.com Has anyone done business with these guys? Does the price seem...

I am considering selling my 3045 to upgrade to a larger utility tractor. Any ideas on what a fair value to ask for it is? It is a 2003 Century 3045 with the C50 loader and just shy of 300 hours on it. It is strong and in good shape. I paid $19,500 for it in 2003. Tractor is in Ma on the NH...

Anyone heard of this trailer manufacturer? I am going to look at a 2003 used one today and can't find any information about them online... Comparing it to a Kaufman. It's 10k gvwr, 18' with dovetail, bumper pull utility trailer. Brakes on all four wheels.

Two years ago I bought one of these for my Century 3045 http://www.hodgesmfg.com/rock_fork.htm It has the brackets to quickly attach/detach to the C50 loader arms. I's the standard size and I think it's 5 or 6 feet wide. I need to measure it. I need to buy a tiller and/or bed maker for the...

I've had my Centruy 3045 for about a year and this is the first time I've tried to use a PTO powered implement. I rented a rotiller to try it out on a new garden area. My question is on the proper method to engage the PTO. I depressed the clutch, in gear, not in gear, shuttle in neutral, not...

Century\'s Lights OK I've got about 38 hours on my 3045 and really love it. What seemed like a really huge tractor when it first showed up has grown to fit me like an old glove. One complaint though is the front lights. I find that at the typical height I used to travel with the loader the...

OK I did it. I bit the bullet and bought a new tractor! I read just about everything I could here. I visited every dealer I could get to with in a reasonable drive. (MA, NH, CT). My wife was getting pretty sick of me burying my nose in the computer during every spare moment. (She wants her...

Anyone know any details on this? On the century website it appears to have a higher lift height, greater lift capacity, faster, yet less digging depth. Anyone know any more? Costs? I am considerring buying a century tractor...should I wait until September for this loader?

Hi, I posted this in the general forums and thought I should probably post it here... I've lurked and read as much as I could this weekend. Looks like alot of discussion about people buying new with a little bit on the older Fords. I have an old Bolens HT20 with johnson loader and tiller and...
