    Backhoe  Backhoe Storage

    Noticed some of the posts discussing home built storage units for a variety of implements allowing easy on/off. I have done similar for the easier stuff - box blade, pallet forks, brush hog. All my wheeled storage "devices" are essentially heavy duty, custom sized dollies that allow me to move...

    Finally Did It!!

    Have finally signed an ageement to become a true JD owner vs. just a shopper! Can't wait to get it out here and start using it vs. breaking my own back!! I bought a 2001 4600 with only 251 hours, a 460 loader, Kelley B750 Backhoe and a brand new LX6 mower. Delivered to Texas from Indiana for...

    Dealer Info

    I live in Fort Worth area and have been talking to the folks at Turner Equipment in Fowler, IN just north of Indianapolis. I would sure be lucky if any of you've heard of or even dealt with them as I'd like to know something about their local reputation before I buy from them. Obviously their...

    New or Used large frame compact

    I need to pick up round bales so it appears I need the equivalent of the 460 or 400x loader. The deals I'm getting involve everything from the 4400-4700 used, 4510-4610 and now the 4120-4320. The 00's have anywhere from 200-600 hours, and the rest are essentially brand new. Price differences...

    JD 4500

    Saw one of these recently and it might exactly fit the specs I'm looking for. One big question though - it was only made in 1999 according to tractortips.com. Does anyone know anything about why such a limited run? Also, does anyone know if there were/are any known common issues with this...

    Getting Down to Final

    I think I'm finally learning from all these posts and am getting close to deciding on a used tractor. I've looked at Deere, NH, Kubota, Mahindra, Ferguson, Yanmar, Nortrac and few other off brands. Seems like I'm drifting back toward a 2001 JD4300, with 366 hr, R4 tires, hydrostat and a FEL...

    New Farm

    I am just stepping in to this forum and will be moving to a very small farm - 7 acres in Jan. About 4 of it is used for pasturing and I'm trying to figure out inexpensive tractor/mower options. I looked at a 1985 Ford 1100 with a finish mower (she wanted 3k though will probably take less) and I...
