My 955 hydro runs, but won't move forward or reverse, high or low range makes no difference. It ran fine when I last shut it off, but when I restarted it a week later it almost sounded like I had the parking brake on (it wasn't) and moved a foot or so before I took my foot off the pedal. Then...

About a month ago I removed my 70A loader from my 955 and put on the 380 front blade. Unfortunately I have to store the loader outside this year so I placed a couple of 2x's under the bucket and stand and tied the hoses to the loader arm. I placed some plywood over the arms then covered it...

I recently bought a JD 955. It's a 95 with 575 hours and came with a 70a loader, 380 front blade and a 6 York rake for $7,000. Cosmetically it's on the rough side, spent its life on the outside looking in, but mechanically it seems to be fine. I haven't had a chance to use it much yet...

My neighbor told me about a 2003 2615 hst with 167 hrs for sale that he said looked in good condition, except for the bucket which was bowed up a bit at the top edge. There was no price, just a phone number. Before I call I'd like to get an idea of what a fair price might be. Thanks!

Does anyone have any experience with the quality of Bush Hog products? I don't know anything about the brand. I'm considering a JD 855 with a Bush Hog 1845 QT loader, 48 rough cut mower and 60 rear blade. My biggest concern is the loader and how well it matches up to the JD 855 Thanks!

I heard about an 855 for sale and would like any and all opinions on the price and attachments. It痴 a 4x4 and has 650 hours, Ag tires, and a 60 MMM. It also comes with (all Bush Hog) a 1845 qt loader with 60 bucket, 60 rear blade and a 48 rotary cutter. The asking price is $10,200 and I...

Which would you consider the better machine/deal? From the photos I’ve seen, both machines appear to be in good condition for their age/hours. 2004 B2910, LA402 fel, RCK60-27B mmm, BL4690B backhoe, R3 tires with 75 hrs $17,500 (dealer) 2005 B3030, LA403 fel, BH75 backhoe with 12” and 16”...

How capable would a 755 be at handling personal logging (4-5 cord a year) in moderate terrain, and snow removal with a front blade on a 250’ gravel driveway also with a moderate slope?

I’m thinking about buying a used 2005 CK20 hst TLB from a private party. At this time I don’t know if the owner is aware of the KL120 loader cracking issue, or the fix. My question is will dealers perform the fix even if I’m not the original owner? Thanks in advance!

I would like to get some opinions (price, capability, reliability etc…) on a 1998 JD 4300 HST, 125 hours, 420 loader, 60” MMM, 72” FEL mounted snow blade and turf tires with an asking price of $13,000. I’ve tried to find typical manufacturer specifications on this tractor, but the only thing...

Any thoughts on what a fair price would be for a 2005 CK20 HST and KL120 loader with 25 hours?

I came across a 2003 JD 4115 with a 410 loader and a 46 BH with 188 hours for $16,900. Would appreciate any comments on this combination, from a functional as well as price standpoint. Thanks!

I ran across a JD 4110 with a 78” loader mounted snowplow. Is this too much plow for this tractor?

I would appreciate any thoughts as to the advantages and disadvantages of these two machines in overall use. Aside from typical TLB tasks, please consider mowing, snow removal, posthole digging, grading, driveway maintenance, log hauling and anything else that comes to mind. Thanks.

I ran across a 2001 B2910 with 111 hours, 402 FEL with a 54” bucket and R4 tires for $12,900. The dealer was closed, so I did not drive it. I did spent about 15 minutes looking it over and it appears to be in excellent condition, as close to new as I’ve seen. Two minor things caught my...
