I just had my 50 hour service done on my 230 and after I got it back I noticed a slight shutter when I turn to the left and once in a great while when I turn to the right. Any ideas. I noticed a good size dent in my new filter (may have done while making trails in the woods right after getting...

Anyone know what the Montana incentives are for this month or quarter (JAN 2009)? A family member is now looking at tractors..I say the big 3 is probably the way to go in this economy. Plus he was quoted $600 less for a kubota 3240 vs a 3644 (december). Income tax returns are right around...

The R series has been out for some time now yet no one here discusses them. Are they dependable or as good as the 3040 or 27/2840?

I googled TYM tractors and the web site no longer loads but rather states that I can purchase domain name. Maybe tym united and TYM USA finally took things over. I hope this is not a bad sign - just a new website on its way (maybe a big sale). Nice tractors - a little pricy here in the...

Does anyone own a farmtrac 270dt or a similiar 2740? I know farmtrac is having trouble (understatement) but I found a 270dt, on my way to Mahindra dealer, at a real decent price. Does anyone have any long term experience with this model? How is the lift.? hydraulic gpm seems sort of low...

Spring is in the air (not really) and I have developed tractoritis again. Wife says its time to get a new tractor and get rid of my old clunkers that I am always working on (this is one of those rare times I don't mind saying yes dear). I want a gear tractor. I thought I was going to get a...

I have been hanging around for a while yet have not pulled the trigger yet. I was offered a 3040 at a decent price. I have a few questions. 1 does the 3040 have any good manuals available? b does the 3040 shuttle use cheap R&O hydraulic fluid or the $15/gal trans hydra fluid? 3 has anyone had...

Anyone know anything about the new 1529? Massey Ferguson must have the worst website of all the tractor mfgs. .. links don't work or take to something other. I'm sure they must build a better tractor than website..right? I hope.

Stopped by the mahindra dealer. They had a "leftover" 2810 w/ 35hrs...tried it out and loved it until I went into a pile of gravel. It would not lift little more than half a bucket full. Is this normal? The machine is nice but it has been sitting out causing the plastic and metal to fade at...

I am in the market for a 4x4 tractor w/FEL. I made the rounds and test drove most of whats out there. We have 100++ acres of old farm land and wet land that has grown over w/ alders and spruce. We currently have a 1974 case 680 backhoe (digs great but shuttle trans is weak and machine so heavy...
