Hello ,I'm new here! I am looking for my first tractor and like the John Deere 1020 or the industrial version the 301A.
I looked at my first one today and I have a few questions . First off the brakes are hydraulic but how do you activate a parking brake when the tractor is running but out of gear , or when parked ? Also What do the 2 Lights in the dash panel indicate ? The ones looked pretty weathered on the unit I looked at today. The tractor seemed to run good , anything I should really look hard at ? The PTO engages and disengages fine , clutch and brakes worked fine .Power steering works great . It did start slow because of a bad battery and sitting for some time . But once running it ran smooth .
Also what do the rotary light switch positions stand for ? Off,W,F,H1,H2
this does not seem to work or the light don't work .
It looks to need 2 rear 16.9x24 tires, fronts tires are newer and it is a diesel model . What is a fair price for something in good paint and better than average condition . Needing only some rubber boots and some work on the lights and rear tires down the road a year or two.
What is your general opinion on this tractor ?
Once I do get one I will get all the appropriate manuals and service books, so excuse my questions above if they are touched on in a manual .
I did check on tires for the rear .... OUCH 400 to 620 each for R1 dependent on brand !
Thanks
Don
