I recently bought two pair of aftermarket A&I 9x28 rear rims for an 8N Ford and TO-20 Ferguson. The silver grey paint appears uniform and well applied but I question it's durability and rust resistance. Since I have no idea what type of paint was applied at the factory...I am debating between...

On my recent trip to Sikeson MO to order a custom 20ft flatbed trailer described here: http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/trailers-transportation/271482-help-needed-trailer-options.html I stopped in Chaffee MO to check out a TO-30 that was advertised in Craigslist. I was impressed by both...

Looking to custom order a new 20ft extra wide straight flatbed 10K trailer and trying to decide between the following options: $165 optional Diamond plate teardrop fenders vs standard sheet metal open side fenders? I am leaning toward the potential added durability of the reinforced Diamond...

I have a 2009 M5040HD 4WD that I have been using with a grapple bucket to pick up downed tree limbs and large red cedars cut from along our road. In the past two weeks I have spun the right front tire on the rim twice pulling the valve stem off the tube in the process. In each case I was in...

I have two TO-30 tractors and am always looking for parts tractors for spares. I found a TO20 Parts tractor that was parked a year ago when the owner said it was not getting oil to the head. He worked on the tractor but never found the problem. He bought another tractor and just let this one...

Looking for recommendations for a front bumper to fit a TO-30 / TO-20 series Ferguson that will still allow the tilt up hood / grille to clear the bumper yet provide good grill protection. Thanks. Kerry

I am having ongoing problems with the hydraulic hoses intended to fit the rear remote on our one year old M5040HD and two dealers are providing conflicting information on which fittings are correct. First...What is the series of quick disconnects on the Kubota factory rear remote? One dealer...

I hunted in the mornings and evenings and brush hogged during the day. Got a little over 100 acres cut and put the tractor to good use helping me field dress two deer. A Doe for my ex wife and a very nice 10 point buck...the second largest I've killed on our farm. The Doe was an easy 80 yd...

Or...How to save over $2600 on the same identical tractor... from two different Kubota dealers. As some of you recall I recently posted a thread asking for input from Kubota owners to help me rationalize the higher prices being asked by some Kubota dealers for a M5040HD compared the new 45 and...

I need to get this off my chest... I have recently been shopping 50 HP 4wd tractors and had narrowed my selection down to the new Mahindra 35 series in either the 45 or 50 hp versions and the Kubota M5040. After obtaining multiple quotes form Kubota dealers for a open platform M5040HD with FEL...

Has anyone seen any model 5520 Mahindra tractors at their local dealer? They seem to be exceptionally hard to find. Has anyone seen one with the R4 industrial tires or are they all R1 ag tires?

I am waiting to buy a 4535 or 5035 when they are formally released in the next 2 months. However, in the mean time I ran across a used 4530 in new condition with FEL and less than 50 hrs for $16,500. In my limited experience that appears to be an excellent value for the low hours and overall...

Saw the soon to be released latest additions to the Mahindra 35 series tractor line today. The 45 hp Model 4535 and the 50 hp Model 5035. Both tractors have a new Canadian made ML130 loader that is quite a bit larger and heavier than the ML120 found on the 3535 and 4035 tractors. Capacity of...
