I have the opportunity to purchase a TC33 Tractor with FEL; a trailer, and several implements for app. $11000, and have the following questions: 1. How does one inspect this tractor for proper maintenance and/or abuse? It has 700+hours of use. 2. Specifically, how do I test the HST? 3...

I've driven and like the new M5040. Please describe the pros and cons of the mechanical shuttle vs. hydraulic shuttle transmission. I left a discussion with the salesman still not understanding the difference. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for all the good input on my "4320 vs. 5303" questions. On the cusp of some serious tractor hunting, I am now wondering if it would be worthwile to set up a business/farm for the purpose of buying and depreciating a tractor with all the equipment. My wife and I both work for the...

Hello. This is my first posting, and I am here to report that I have tractor fever. After discussing the question with tractor owners, friends, and going to three different manufacturer dealerships, I was surprised to find that John Deere had the best reputation and the local dealership had at...
