As an AGCO/Massey dealer I can say that is a great price.

A good portion of the screen names on this forum are self explanitory but some( for example, slamfire, Frank f15 ) have me wondering what the story behind the name is....Steve

Any people in New England looking for a Kioti? I was just wondering how much market intrest is out there.

After seeing quite a few posts about people putting gas in their diesel engines I had an idea. A yellow diesel can is a great idea but what if a person other than the normal operator tries to fuel up your tractor? How about a locking fuel cap with a key tethered to the yellow diesel jug?

I read in one of the NH threads that Deere uses cast aluminum axles as opposed to cast iron. I called a local Deere dealer to ask if it was true he stated yes they are but it is a non issue when it comes to durability. What he could not answer was why? I am just curious to the benifit of...

My neighbors wife borrowed a set of measuring cups from my wife the other day. This morning my wife asked me if I could retrive them for her. As I was walking over to her house I noticed her husband on his 790 Deere moving a log with the loader with a beer in his hand (It's 9:00 in the morning)...

It shure would be nice if several of us New Englanders could get together, either on the same brand of tractor or a dealer that sells other brands and see if they want to lower their margins for a multi order deal. Any dealers want to sell 5+ tractors,multiple implements? Im shure there must...

I was at a Kioti dealer the other day and was looking at the CK20HST which was a customers unit (they have no stock) The dealer was driving around and when he stopped to talk to me he was on a slight incline,he took his foot off the pedal and the tractor kept rolling. He kept hitting the reverse...

I don't get it. After looking at every brand within 200 miles of me trying several diffrent tractors I decided I liked the Kubota 3130 HST the best (smoothness of the hydro). I lemented the fact that I wish they worked a little harder in the design of the tractor to give me a better view of the...

Does anyone here own one and does anyone know who makes the hydro unit? I just took a 2 minute test drive Saturday. Seems like a great tractor for the money but I was not impressed with the loader. The uprights are the thinnest guage of steel I have ever seen on a loader. Does anyone Know of...

Am I the only one that feels this way?? why does kubota do such an awesome job of pitching the nose on the B21/ L35 but not on any of its other tractors ??? I don't know about anyone else but seeing the loader bucket to me is a huge deal ( one of the best things on the NH TC35-45 series ) I...

Does anyone know what the current market% leader is. A Deere dealer told me they out sold KUBOTA last year. Is this true??

In the two short months since I found this site I have become somewhat of an addict (just bought some orange and blue bed sheets) Have eliminated Deere do to problem tractors on demos (three to be exact) Now I am really torn...

Recently when testing a JD 4200 I noticed the loader lift cylinders were a charcoal color not chrome. When I asked the salesman what's up he said "beats me". After two inqueries at other dealers same response or the havent been run through the shop yet it will come off when they wash it. I find...

Does anyone know of any Tractor shows in the NewEngland area I would like to see some tractors that actually have the loaders and backhoe's on them possibly to try. Most of the dealers I have gone to if they stock a hoe it's on a pallet out back. Also would it be too controversial for me to ask...
