I have a 2006 massey 533. I am looking at changing all the filters out before I start alot of work this month. my dealer quoted me 167 for the outer air filter, the oil filter, power steering filter, and fuel filter. that seems like alot of money to me for 4 filters. I am sure atleast some of...

a local farmer has a toolbar with 4 international 295 planters on it. he is willing to sell it for a reasonable price. it looks like a JD 71 clone. pretty much the same exact design, and has pretty much the same look. I would like to know if anyone has any info on these, pros, cons, parts...

I noticed today that none of the ones I looked at came with pumps. what would be a good priced pump that will work with one of these sprayers with roundup. also how are the pumps hooked up. the unit...

I was looking at the tractors around 30-35 horse. I think this is a minimum for what I need, and was mainly looking at them due to price. but I have learned from this forum that some of the bigger tractors are less than the smaler ones. I would like to keep it under 4500 pounds for trailering...

I have been looking at the john deere 90 series tractors. I have seen the 790 first hand and believe it to be the minimum for what I need to do. I have seen a john deere in similar size to the 990 and think it is a hair overkill for what is needed. I realize that both of these are yanmar...
