My local JD dealer has a MF2635 with DL250 loader coming in on trade. It is a 2018 model with 12xx hrs. What can y'all tell me about them? I know the earlier models had awful reviews what about the late models? What is a fair price?

Yes, good idea. I'm struggling with that because the prices are all over the place. Is there a way to see what things are actually selling for?

I'm thinking about selling my JD5090E due to getting rid of my livestock. It is a 19 model with 12xx hrs, 4x4, open station, 24x12 trans, 540m loader, oversize tires from deere(don't remember the size). How can I find out what it's worth?

I will and do use t-post but I still have to have some wood post for gates and corners. I typically do rent a compressor and drill to put t-post in. I have thought about hiring it done but am normally of the mindset to do it myself and use that money to buy more tools.

Haven't heard it called that before. I have a couple of them and they have put a lot of post in the ground, both digging and tamping. They don't do anything in blue limestone.

Makes since. Do you use these for corner or gate post also?

8-9" posts. Some of mine start rock on top of the ground, some are a foot down before it starts. I have rented skid steer augers when I have a few to do and like it. All the ones I've rented have dirt augers. I just want to make sure that one will do the job before I invest that much money

I'm not sure what that is

That doesn't really work for me because I need to do a few here and there. But yes, that is the best option to get the job done

I have a JD5090E tractor. I'm trying to find the right attachment to dig my post holes. I hand dig most of mine but I'm unable to get some down due to solid rock, TN blue limestone. I know it's probably better to get a rock drill and jack hammer but, due to a back injury, I can't run the jack...

I've only been around a few brands. I try not to tie myself to only my knowledge. Older hands with more experience have saved me in the past. Parts availability is a huge problem with some brands. A notorious problem on a certain brand that is covered up or currently correct is not something I...

Sounds good.

On a previous tractor, I used the rear remotes and had no issues. I actually preferred it but the controls are farther apart on this tractor

I do not intend to crop any of it. Pasture clipping and my dad owns a rough hillside farm

My intention is to buy more land. All bushhogging is for myself or my dad. I am capable of working on/rebuilding, as I have multiple times. Although I really don't want to start out with reattaching a deck first thing, been there done that. I know bladetip makes a huge difference in cut quality...
