DIY Home built compact tractor

jimgerken · Nov 4, 2011

Any tractor progress? Great start! I think you've made some very good decisions/tradeoffs. I wuold think you'd be real anxious to see it move under its own power by now.

heya GT2, Not sure if you are still coming on here or not, I actually joined not long ago to see if I could find out how to self build a Tractor or if it was worth buying the cheap Chinese tractors, I am also very interested in your build and any progress, I have Just purchased 40+ acres myself and was thinking of converting an old Nissan Patrol 4 by 4 into a tractor, it has a straight 6 Diesel, I am a long way from starting it though, power, water, house and shed need to be build first. Plus Australian prices here for stuff are majorly expensive, even for 2nd hand parts. well anyway I do hope to hear from you soon

GT2 hasn't posted on here since 4/8/12.

But if you just use 'pull behind' implements, and no PTO, you can use Nissan the way it is with a few minor modifications
