- Small John Deere Garden Tractor we brought with us. Want to and need to buy a farm tractor and some attachements. Hope to build a Corvair Custom Hydraulic Tractor with a gas heater to move boats around and use in winter.
Hello everyone,
We purchased a farm this past summer. My wife, Marie, and I are not farmers and we hope to find a local farmer willing to rent our fields, 5 to 10 yrs, for hay.
Until we find someone we, or should I say "I", have lots more to keep cleared and once we have a farmer take care of those fields we still have 10 to 20 acres guessing that I will have to maintain.
I'm leaning towards a use Case/Ingersoll (All Hydraulic) and I need some help better understanding the models and what is so different and better about them compared to another.
If you have owned one of the models listed below PLEASE - fill me with the good and bad!!
Is there a chart somewhere that shows all the models from lets say 400's to 6000 series with info?
What years did they make them and so forth?
The models I have seen and liked are:
1) 444 - 448(Iknow I saw a 446 and I believe there is a 448)
2) 4018 - 4020(I tihnk I saw)
3) 6018 (is there a 6020 too?)
However, I don't know much about them.
I have read post on as many of them as I could find posted here and over at MyTractor.
I could ask a dealer. However, they are out there to make a buck and I don't want to end up buying one I wish I did not get.
Plus right now I'm still kicking tires and don't want to waste their time or get them put off with me by the time I'm ready to comit.
I know I want a good size Hydraulic Garden tractor. NOT a big farm tractor!!
I know I want the differential to be Hydraulic and not run by any belt.
Same goes for the attachments - All Hydraulic...
I like to have power steerting - however it is not a must.
I do not want a manual!
The things I want to do with it:
a) Pull a large Hyd cutting deck - to cut acres much faster than our curretn JD LA130 48"
b) Be able to use a Hyd dump trailer
c) To use a Hyd wood splitter
d) A must - to have a front Hyd snowblower, 30" to 48", for our 75 foot laneway
e) A Rear Hyd tiller
f) A cab would be real nice... It gets -40F up here at times...
g) front bucket
Added Bonus - but not a must:
To be able to add a backhoe at some point...
Type of Fuel - I prefer Diesel but gas is okay to start with and once the engine gets tired I will switch over then.
Thanks for all your help and support.
Sincerely,
