    Oil Change intervals?

    I am in the same boat as you. I change mine by hours or every two years (which ever comes first - hours of time). I use Mobile 1 synthetic 5w40 oil in 2015 Workmaster 50 tractor. Never seen a 'use by' date on any oil I have used. I found my tractor will set under the shed with old oil just as...

    Vented non fuel jugs.

    Manufactory only recommends for kerosene and diesel fuel, which they work great for. Not recommend for gas because of expansion and fumes. It has a bigger mouth which works great to use a 12 volt pump to remove fuel. The 12 volt pump is not for use with gas. The following...

    Buying Advice - Kioti, LS, TYM Compact Tractors

    He had more money than he had sense. You relieved the pressure on one of those that day. When the customer wants to unload the burden of managing his cash you should be proud of the relief you provided.

    Buying Advice - Kioti, LS, TYM Compact Tractors

    You can borrow from a bank on home equity loan and get low interest rate and not have to pay any extra for tractor insurance to cover the loan. I saved $3,000 by doing my own financing verses zero financing through dealer.

    Buying Advice - Kioti, LS, TYM Compact Tractors

    Buy the biggest 4 x 4 tractor you can afford. I own a 2015 New Holland Workmaster 50 and do what you want to do. Never regretted making payments and never have wished I had bought a smaller tractor. Plus with low hours on it I can sell it for what I paid new for it. Keep an eye out for a good...

    What size tractor can we get by with?

    Minimum of 50 motor hp / 45 PTO. That perfect tractor is bigger than what you think is needed to do your jobs needed done.

    Tractor sold to me as a 2021, but is actually a 2020

    Two different animals - Autos have a title listed model year. Tractor only has a bill of sell that is created by seller. You have to use VIN number on Auto for manufacture date and Serial Number on tractor for manufacture date.

    Tractor sold to me as a 2021, but is actually a 2020

    They cut him a deal because it didn't have the latest price increases when he purchased it new. Now if he insisted on a 2021 serial number they could have ordered him one with latest price increases and delivery date of 2022?

    Tractor sold to me as a 2021, but is actually a 2020

    You have a 2020 model when purchasing parts - serial number determines that. It was purchased new in 2021. Used price will be determined by hours and condition of tractor. When selling you can advertised as 2020 model bought new in 2021. Price will only vary by someone that really knows very...

    Lift capabilities

    It is dead and only those watching will know how it was placed in its grave. Don't do something stupid by adding a tractor and the operator to the grave. Just ask the owner to turn and say a prayer while you drag it in.
