Compact tractor brands that have bit the dust.

Farmtrac never went out of business. The did however stop importing them to the United States. Last year, another import company started importing them again, and new Farmtrac are available again in the US.

Aren't they made in India now? They don't look like the newer LS built ones, they look more like AG tractors

 

[Diamondr]

They are just like the old Ford Tractors. The 555 Farmtrac is just like a 3910 Ford. And yes, they are still made in India.

Don't want one and only seen em on web but how about NorTrac tractors. I think they make bulldozers also. Not to be confused with NortraX ? Who and I know their Chinese makes there hearts and anybody thinks they will disappear soon ?

 

[Diamondr]

Nortrac are sold by Northern Tool for really cheap, because they are really cheap. Made in China.

I am not referring to the SSQA loader on some later models (curved arm vs. angled arm). In fact, there is a thread here where someone built his own SSQA adapter for a Montana 3940 for the very reasons I describe. I have tried the Montana website and they have nothing available- parts, accessories, nothing.

Can you post some pictures of the QA system on your loader?

I know you guy's or most of you say, to stick to a none brand, now I am new at this tractor thing, but 3 years ago shopping for my very firts tractor, I taught this is what I was doing, I was looking at a john Deer, a Kubota, and a Bob Cat, ya, guess wich one I bought, Bob Cat has been in buisiness, for a long time so I taught,

I was debating between the john deer wnd the Bob Cat, unfortunately the kubota sales rep did not give me the time of day, both time I visited his shop, the only reason the Bob Cat won, they had a 60 months zero % financing

Any way's my question now is, does any one know if kioty will be in buisiness for a while, and do the Kioty part fit a Bob Cat 230, I am talking, oil filters, air filter, and any thing else, can I use the same hydro oil"s in either model's.....

By the way, now I would buy the JD.

Thnx

Not having a crystal ball, I can't say for certain, but they seem to be fairly solidly "here to stay"
As I understand it, the loader, paint and a couple of other parts (trim and dash possibly?) are different, but otherwise they are the same tractor. As such, filters and such should be interchangeable.
