Photo of barn I took this morning:

I'm making a very large pole barn out of hand hewn white oak beams (100 years old from four tobacco barns I salvaged) that are very heavy, probably 700 lbs each or more (?). They are 20 foot long on average. I've already got all the posts set 4 foot in ground with dirt tamped, but after a...

Was spreading some seed today when all the sudden my tractor started slowing up, but not stalling out, just stopping, idle. Then if I put in reverse and then forward it would get going again. Tried to pic up the FEL and it started jerking really slow and would barley move up. I stopped the...

Haven't readily found an online tire source...anyone have any recommendations where I can get a rim and new front ag tire for my 4320?

For the past couple of weeks my tractor has approached 3/4 high temp to high temp and error code came on. I'd shut the tractor off and let the tractor cool down and the temp gauge went back down for a good hour but then approached the high temp mark again and error code came on. I've only used...

I'm trying to find a replacement part for my JD 4320 compact tractor on the PTO. It's called a stabilizer bracket pin...but I don't have a manual for my tractor and am having trouble finding anything online that might show a diagram of the part. Tractor supply sells them here but again, I just...

I pushed a large stump in the woods out of the way to clear a trail with my FEL. The stump slipped under the FEL and now my front axel on the right side is sitting on the stump. The tractor is inclined towards the right and the tractor is raised on that side about a foot. The tractor engine...

Anyone know if you can plant corn and soybeans with one of these?

I lifted up the front of the tractor with my FEL and my joystick is in a lock position. I can't figure out how to unlock it so the loader will move. There's a 2 x 2 inch black metal piece sticking out of the joystick compartment but I don't ever remember it being there--I tried pushing on it...

Anyone know how to fix this? I had a flat tire last week, got it plugged, was back to working and an hour into working got an Error code 14 on my 4520 Deere tractor. I ran over some brush which got stuck under the tractor and I was able to remove, but not sure if it had anything to do with...

I have a flat tire on my tractor and was wondering how I go about finding a replacement. I've had it filled back with air, found the leak and had it plugged but it's flat again, I'm ready to just buy a new one. The tire is the front right tire and is labeled as a Titan Trac Loader Tire 10-16.5...

Well, sort of. I bought a tractor but am having it delivered, should get it in an week and a half or so. I found a good deal on a 4520 that had barely been used (less than 200 hours), 4 WD with FEL and cab/stereo. I'm also getting a 6 ft. bush hog and rotary tiller with it. I'll post some...

I can get a cab on the desired tractor I want or I can get one without. Any reason not to get one? It's about $2500 more for the cab with heat and air. I like the open air feel of tractors and for me this would be the only downside, but I can see during hot days like we have now (and cold...

Sorry for all the questions, but would this be a suitable tractor for my food plotting? As I mentioned before I have a 100 acres. I'll always rent out my 20 acres of tillable ground to be planted by a local farmer. However, I will be bushogging some of the 20 acres, maybe half, and planting...

Update Still trying to decide which route to go. Didn't get auction tractor. Still considering 5055E tractor with FEL but also considering a 4520 used tractor with FEL. I'm also pondering the Kubotas. A lot to think about!

If my auction tractor doesn't work out am considering a new 5055E 4WD FEL tractor. I'm not set on the 5055E but the dealer told me it was the cheapest new 5000 series JD with 4WD which is what I want. Any recommendations on a buying price? Wasn't sure if there was any wiggle room in price...

I found a 2009 JD 5000 series tractor with low hours (about 400) that is being offered at a local auction in two weeks. I'm hoping I might be able to save quite a bit of money depending on who I'm competing against, as a neighbor just bought a tractor at auction and said there were a lot of...

Is protection necessary for a tractor I might get?:) I've looked at the temporary metal/steel garages that's open-air as a solution, I think they run $800 or so. I've also considered a pole barn or even a Q type arched steel garage but wasn't sure if I'd need a building permit or not which I'd...

I posted on the JD side of the site as well but after looking more at a slight less price difference in the Kubota want to take a look at them as well. Can you all rec'd a good all around Kubota 50 hp tractor with FEL. I have 100 acres in NC and primarily will be using for bushogging, deer...

I have a 100 acre farm in NC. I'm not set on a JD but have been told by everyone I know to go with JD b/c they have had them for decades and with maintenance have had no problems. 80 acres of my property are wooded which I won't really be doing much work with. 20 acres are tillable which I...

Which is a better option to have 4WD or more hp? Was weighing getting a New Holland TC33AD 4WD/hydrostatic versus a 45 to 80 hp 2WD New Holland each with front end loader...is a 4WD necessary or more important than having more hp? Not sure I can afford more hp and 4WD, atleast haven't find one...

I'm in search of a new tractor as I posted in another thread. Am looking at around a 45 hp New Holland, John Deere, or Kubota. I've seen several types of transmissions in my search including hydrostatic, manual, power shift...what's the difference in these and which is best? From my research...

I've never owned a tractor and never used one except for the low powered riding lawn mowers. I've researched that the best horsepower for my 100 acre farm will be around 45-48 horsepower (a good strength to get things done--will be planting food plots for deer, moving trees and brush...
