I have an issue with my clutch and don't quite know what to do about it. My clutch works fine, and doesn't slip. However, when I put it to bed and let it sit for a couple of weeks the clutch is stuck and wont release. I can put it in high gear and run around the field popping the clutch petal...

Ya know many time it is easy for folks to complain in short order about issues that are adverse to them. I am guilty of it myself. However, many times when things go just right and we are happy with the results, we neglect to send praise. I am taking this opportunity to tell all that I had a...

I need to check the fluid level in my Farmtrac 535. What should the position of my frontend loader be to check it? All cylinders extended or just sitting in the down position with buck curled up? I understand it can affect the fluid level in the rear, or does it?

I know it should be intuitively obvious but I am not quite sure how to check the hydrolic (I know I can't spell it) fluid. I lost some when working on my loader and need to see how much to put back in.

I have a FarmTrac 535 front end loader. Last couple times I used it, it seemed to be getting lazy when dumping. Used it a while this morning, and now it won't curl or dump. Bucket raises and lowers perfectly. Have checked fluid level it's good, searched for leaks, none found. Left and right...

Diamondr can you give us an update on New Farmtrac dealers and where they are coming from? Do you see them becoming readily available as they were in the beginning. Have they patched up their differences with New Holland/Long?

Got a quick question. Should the clutch engage at the top of the pedal swing (just before removing foot from pedal) or should it release a couple inches after beginning to release the pedal. (closer to full pedal depression)? Reason I ask, it is often difficult for me to gradually release the...

Hi all, it's been a while since I posted, and since postings seem sparce on the forum, thought I would just give an update on mine. Been using it for lots of odd jobs and it is still working great, digging dirt, scraping access roads, plowing, etc.:)

Yep, I was filling in a neighbor's swimming pool with dirt and the two front tires fell off the inside edge of the cement pool and was resting on the frame. Used the bucket to lift the front and popped the clutch in reverse, when I did the turf tires hit the edge pretty hard. Anyways I am...

Hi all. Newb here. I just bought a 535 w/front end loader had 43 hours on it, made in '06 have used it for three hours now. So far it is a great li'l tractor. I still miss my New Holland 1630 with hydo trans (stolen last year) Anyway, since you got your tractor how many hours have you put...

Hi all, new guy here. Thanks for the welcome from admin. I am a past New Holland owner (TC33). Now I own a Farmtrac 535. and am searching to learn all I can about it. I have already surfed the FT posts. Sounds like many experienced, knowledgeable folks here who are polite and ready to...
