agree that even if manufactured in 2020, the model year can be a 2021 etc. Companies usually have a cutover date depending on what updates they might be making year on year. It can happen earlier or later, sometimes without any real reason I've discovered. But I agree with you, if they sold...

I just used the bucket and pushed myself

This sounds about right. I paid 120k for my 6130ttv, no front PTO or 3pt. I did have them put the bigger tires and fenders from a 6140 on though, I was trying to get as much stability as possible for the meadows around here.

Recently bought a Deutz 6130ttv, so far I've been satisfied although I haven't done any field work yet. One thing that you might be able to use is the distributor seemed really eager to make the sale in my case and I was able to get 10k knocked off the listed price and have larger tires...

I blew it all to the south side of my driveway. I guess I was going too fast and like dirt said there was probably one bump and as my tracks go over that bump it created another lol. It was wet heavy snow.

I ended up getting a Erskine 2420 79" for the skid. They size the motor specifically for the hydraulic flow rate of your skid (mine was 27 GPM). It clears very well, I likely drove too fast while clearing and it caused bumps in my driveway, so I guess there is a thing as too fast. I have a...

Hey all, I just snowblowed the driveway with CTL and blower. I drove over it and I have seemed to create perfect speed bumps the entire length of the driveway. I honestly don't think I could re-create this if I tried, but sadly its really obnoxious to drive over and in the tractor it...

thankfully I don't depend on my tractor for livelihood, at least not yet. I am casual enough farmer that if I have a week of downtime while a part ships it won't ruin me. It would be annoying ill grant you that.

The skid is a SVL65 (tracked) high flow, 27GPM - cab The tractor is a Deutz 6130ttv - cab This is all for personal use on my driveway (500ft + large turnaround), the problem is the drifts, else I would normally love to just plow it. The area is all flat. Unfortunately I didn't opt for the...

Looking for updated opinions on what snowblower I should get. I previously got a MK Martin 87, but things happened and I ended up trading the 4707 before I even had a chance to use the snowblower. I now either need to get a 8' PTO snowblower, or get a hydraulic snowblower for the skid. I...

I like my kubota dealer, but the last two times I've been there (last week + 2 months ago) I noticed a substantial increase of stuff sitting on the lot. I commented both times that I was watching sales trends and it looks like their supply is catching up a bit and sales must be slowing. Both...

Ag-pro is advertising new 4066r with loaders for 62.9 on tractorhouse. I'm assuming they chose that number as it would be easy for the customer to suggest 60k as an even number and feel like they are getting a little off the list price.

I'm just trying to give perspective on what that amount of money can purchase. Like morroder said, if you're set on hydro I would personally keep shopping. Depending on what you're wanting to do a brand new tracked skid can be had for that price as well. If JD is your only option because...

67k seems really expensive for that size tractor. I know green paint is expensive but just this June I got a MF4707 for 60k

I don't consider myself a farmer, but I'm trying to grow into it. It's impossible to see how our future will play out, but if I was to guess I couldn't imagine I would ever own more than 150-200 acres, up from my current 55 acres. 200 acres is considered a small amount, with the average being...

Ill have to find someone with a big drag I can borrow. Next spring ill plow that area again and disc + drag. A few people I have talked to around here don't show much interest when I bring up smoothing fields, I am guessing it's not worth worrying about when you're farming hundreds of acres...

I'm looking for opinions or experiences with this series of tractors. It seems like there isn't much for reviews around the net, far less information than for a JD, kubota, or massey I'm thinking as a pipe dream as a haying tractor, I heard CVT is as good as it gets for haying.

so I'm fairly deep into my project and I can add what I've done and learned so far. I split the pasture into 2 chunks, one side that was flatter I went the entire enchilada - plowed it, rocked, excavator, rocked, disc, planted. It will continue to get better as I plow and disc it. It is now...

Thanks for linking this. I would rather be terrified of what can happen and be more careful than operate with my head in the sand. That poor bastard what a way to go.

leveled and rocked the field as best I could given the timeline, we needed to seed sooner than later. My neighbors have been very supportive of me getting interested in farming and are helping guide me and provide some services. This field was pasture, never plowed. I can say now I've...

after plowing it and letting it sit for a bit I finally started discing it. It's slowly starting to look like a field. My farmer neighbor says its going to take a few years of planting, then plowing and discing for it to really smooth out.

I've had this happen a few times when using my brush cutter. In the moment I was just too eager to get started that I didn't bother to look it up. Does anyone know what this code means and if I'm doing it wrong? for reference I was rev'ing up the engine to 1900 or so and engaging the PTO, it...

Took the plunge and start to plow up one of the fields. This is never plowed virgin ground so it was rough. This was also my first time plowing so be kind :) the 4707 handled the 4 bottom well. I'm sure it could have been easier if I bother to learn to use the draft control and the ground...

What temps are you guys seeing and what should I be expecting? I was running it what I would consider pretty hard tearing up virgin ground with a 4 bottom and I think I was hitting like 160F

yeah that valve under the cab door on the right/passenger side. Saw someone recommend to turn that off in the summer

hey all where does your AC condensation drip when you're running it? For reference I shut off that coolant valve under the right side of the tractor and I notice a pretty significant drip coming down the back right side of the cab onto the axle. If this is normal then w/e. Ill try and get a...

got it stuck within 15 minutes of getting it off the delivery truck.

Spent a good portion of yesterday picking up logs/rocks/whatever. I'm committed to that burn pile the previous owner started apparently I can't light it up once a foot of snow drops and I won't need a permit.

Yeah. I didn't get to record it but believe me I was swearing plenty when I would run over a random log or find some unexpected junk/stump. It's really helping me to decide to not leave random stuff around in a pasture. I have a ton of cleanup to do yet. The previous owner left what I assume...

yeah I'm just trying to clear out as much as I can before I have the dozer come in and smooth it out. Maybe this is all for nothing but I imagine the less he has to deal with the less time it will take to smooth.

I am starting this a little late. But I have started my attempt at fixing my pasture. I shredded some buckthorn a few weeks ago, took a break while my brush cutter was being swapped out - and now today I mowed a bunch of thistle. The videos have vulgar language I can't help myself sometimes.

As promised here is the new unit. You can tell just by looking at it that the lower pin spacing is much wider The new lower pin spacing is on the left and the old is on the right. NEW...

did you do the clutch adjustment procedure? It's in the manual on pa- just kidding - massey doesn't mention it at all. Some random guy posted the procedure on youtube it helped me a lot with more precision movement. he starts the adjustment instructions at 3:10 roughly.

Truthfully the real reason I want to just get to to workable state is so that it doesn't get worse and I lose the little bit of value the land has now. When I purchased this place I had no idea pasture should be "mowed" a few times a season, I just figure if I'm going to bother to clean it up I...

Yeah I don't think this could have ever been hayfield, if it was then maybe like 80 years ago. The previous owner had a few horses, but 2-3 horses for 20 acres means a lot of overgrowth happened. I should do a little more digging to find out how the land was used in the last 50 years if I...

Alright well I appreciate everyone's contribution. It sounds like the thing I was missing from my own plan was the roller/cultipacker I wish I could do fewer steps but I think the field is in such poor condition that I just need to invest in the dozer work to get it in a much better starting...

can you elaborate what you mean by this? I'm very new to this all. I'm guessing you mean grade down to the low spots then plow it over? what do you mean by refitted? Is that when you plow over the hayfield and disc and reseed?

I'm not sure I would do the full enchilada but I think dozer work would be well worth it. It's really rough right now just driving around in the tractor. Here is what it looks like, I would like to fence off the "water" section to be common land that the cows would always have access to...

Also can anyone confirm that if I get to a point where I can rotate yearly what field is being hayed and what is the pasture for the year will this prevent having to plow it over and reseed it as often? I got the idea watching just a few acres farm he said he just rotates the pasture and...

By complete field rehab what do you mean? I was considering hiring a local excavator to come in with a dozer to pick rocks and smooth the land if that's what that is. If I go that route, I think he said it would be like $150 per acre to doze, then I would have to pick rocks for a while then...

there is about 20 acres I would like to convert to hayfield, this would be in addition to the 25ish acres thats currently being farmed/hayed. my tractor is 4wd EDIT: I should add I would like to get it to the point where I can rotate what field is pasture for the year and what is being hayed.

I have been reading whatever info google presents me on converting rough pasture into hayfield but I wanted to see if anyone here has any tips that will make my life a bit easier. I have gotten a few different opinions on what the proper procedure is but I should preface that my pasture is...

Is there some facebook group I should be looking at for info about these tractors?

Do not take that as an answer. I am very new to the tractor game but I've learned already that manufacturers/dealers/implement companies need to be pushed to do what is correct. I hate that this is how it is but you need to keep calling them and make sure you call AGCO support and email them...

This was my experience as well. The eye on the tractor side of the sway bar doesn't rotate much. And like you said it barely gets to cat 2 spacing, but the point is it does, and the implement does not. measured on the inside of each of the lower hitch arms. I imagine from center to center...

Has anyone installed wireless cameras on their loader and rear facing? I keep hearing that you just need 12v power but I'm terrified of drilling into the roof of my tractor without some sort of guide.

Can anyone help me ID this tractor? It's gotta be a L6060 platform or MX6000 right?

Good news. I thought I was going to encounter pushback about returning the unit, but it seems that my message eventually made it to the owner who is going to make a design change and trade out my unit. I have to say it's a bit relieving that I got someone in the industry to agree with me that...

I see your point about authority. Either way I'm pushing back on the manufacturer. It would appear it starts and stops with what I (the consumer) is willing to accept and I don't accept an implement that doesn't fit on my tractor.

There is a spec/standard. If there wasn't - then there wouldn't be much point in declaring what category it is. Also see above, ISO and ASABE both have standards listed. I don't know the measurement but they fit my ball ends perfectly. The pins are 100% cat 2.

I don't know for certain, but I imagine that the stabilizer arms that have multiple holes is for a purpose. That purpose is likely because the hitch is compatible with cat 1 and cat 2, thus the need for such a wide adjustment depending on what category you are using. There isn't any problem...

2605 brochure 4707 brochure CP572 brochure @Cahaba Valley Farm would be proud of how convoluted hooking up 1 implement can be. Par for the course I suppose when it comes to tractors and tractor related stuff.

god I hope not. Is it so hard to just make implements to spec? The arms get plenty narrow to fit any cat 2 implement that's correctly made, I'm not sure what Ill do if I want to use a cat 1 implement.

Apologies for being MIA the last 2 days. I think I am caught up. No. The tractor is purely a category 2 - 3 point hitch. Category 1 implements do not fit on this tractor by default. I think the opinions here have pushed me over the edge. I am going to return it. It's horseshit that...

I talked with some neighbors who farm and they said its not that uncommon to have to remove a sway bar to connect to something. I find it really silly that there is a set standard and companies are not making the implements to that standard. I completely understand if you're using a disc that...

I ordered this from Agristore based on someone's (might have been brian I don't remember) recommendation. I just installed this today actually and so far so good. I put the link for the link and the hoses...

These ones don't, some stabilizers have multiple holes you can put the pin in, the purpose is to prevent sway, if you have it without the pin you might as well just disconnect it. You can see when I put it up against the lower hitch arm (the cutter is currently attached with the sway bar...

I did do this. I am able to attach it if I disconnect one of the sway bars. Honestly I don't really view this as a great solution..

I'm contacting another owner of this same unit because I want to make sure its made correctly. Either way, this is simply NOT made to CAT 2 standards. Everything I've read online says 32 inches between the arms. Correct, the photos I uploaded don't really show it well unfortunately. His...

Yeah I saw this video, me and a friend did our best to go frame by frame to see if there was something I was missing. Is it possible they just made the implement wrong? I got off the phone with baumalight and they said it should be compatible with cat 2 hitches, but with the max spacing on the...

I took the pin out so you can adjust the turnbuckle to extend the threads, unfortunately it isn't the style with multiple holes you can pick from. I measured the inside of the cutter, the hookups have a maximum width of 29.75 inches. The most narrow I can get my lower links is like 30.5"...

It's a Baumalight CP572 https://baumalight.com/cutters/en/cp572.php I'll double check in the morning but I thought the limiting factor was the sway bar adjustment wasn't extending far enough. Actually after doing this exactly one time I can see why people don't like these turnbuckle style...

I am having issues hooking up a brush cutter I purchased, I can't seem to get the lower arms narrow enough to fit into the slots on the attachment. This is my first time hooking anything up so I figure I must be missing something. I extended the sway bar threads as far as they will go, is...

Anyone have any recommendations on a 2 camera setup for loader + rear mounted? I saw a post from a few years ago recommending one but I'm wondering if much has changed. Trying to do like you see on various youtube videos so I can actually see my forks as I'm using them hah.

https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/i-did-it-roast-and-discuss-my-choice-sharing-experience-numbers-for-others.449613/post-6291382

For sure, I feel like a fish out of water. I am going to make sure to get seat time every day even if just driving around the pasture, I hopefully will be getting my forks tomorrow and that should help me start popping rocks out of the pasture. I moved a couple rocks out of the yard today...

I think ill do that, otherwise every time I look at it its going to bug me hah. Got any tips or video to follow to do it proper?

Good to know thanks.

The original idea was to eliminate some risk. If it gets messed up before I get it delivered then I imagine it's on them. Sadly the garage is taking longer than I thought it would and I have projects I want to get started now that the pasture is not a swamp.

I was able to push myself out. Took some practice this is my first rodeo so im pretty slow in it so far :D Edit, here is a close up of the remote. It feels like they just took something off another tractor - the handle in the cab is different as well. If this is normal then whatever, but...

alright I just needed practice with the loader, i was able to push myself out. Anyone know whats going on with this 3rd remote? It looks like they took it off another tractor used rather than install a new one. The handle inside also looks like its from a different model

I had promised some of yall pictures when it came in. Well its here, and I got it stuck within 15 minutes. Might be a record. Anyone know why the 3rd remote on the back is so rusted? Did they try to give me some used remote or something? I have an outstanding balance of like 2k from the...

Alright so it arrived. Looks good except for the 3rd remote I had them add, did they try to give me some old used pos? I don't understand how the 3rd remote could be so rusted lol. I took it out in the pasture to just mess around and within 15 minutes I had found a hole that the former owner...

Are you buying purely gear drive? There can't be a ton of options that have that anymore right?

I'm not expecting anyone to lose money selling to me, I just was trying to leverage buying multiple things at once or trying to buy equipment sitting on their lot since at least last summer. In both cases it was pretty much a no go. The crappy thing is if I was someone with existing implements...

When you guys are buying attachments/implements - are you able to negotiate the price at all? I am trying to buy a few things and I am getting shut down pretty hard right now on price. I figured there would be a bit of play especially if I'm buying package deals or last years equipment. Is...

Well I'm not sure how much precision blowing i need to do, I feel like this could be an issue for me. I really started this entire tractor ordeal so I could clear the bulk of my driveway, and work on pasture as a bonus. I guess Ill have to find out for myself and get on the tractor right away...

what are you talking about? Loader on a mower??

Well. It's not great but its a start lol. When the tractor comes in I'll be able to get more control on where the water is pouring, also I've got different fittings to better split the water between the 2 rows I'm watering. Honestly for long term I might see what it would cost to get tubing...

Probably not lol, I had to search to see what a non-live pto was, seems miserable. My entire point is that you're only really gimping your decision making by pre-excluding brands. If you're buying a 10 dollar stapler then it's probably okay to just go with what you know works. But for...

This is partially why I wanted to buy one that was in stock. It's possible that the dealer is told "oh yeah we can get new orders to you in 3 months", but it's also possible that the factory is telling dealers "12 months for new orders" and the dealer just tells sweet lies to keep the orders...

I am supposed to be finally getting my 4707 this Thursday. I can feel the excitement slowly building day by day, I'll probably mimic the excitement of a 10 year old getting a super nintendo in the 90's. I've watched and rewatched a few "tractor delivery" videos trying to get a list of stuff to...

You literally have no way of knowing what their future offerings will be, and for what price. Maybe JD will come out with something that is competitively priced.

Right but with how much tractors cost I think not all least looking at the offerings of all companies is foolish. Over the course of years and decades new models come out with different features, made with different stuff. You only hurt your decision making by excluding competitors because...

I should clarify. I don't think anyone here is going to recommend a lawn tractor, only zero turns. I think lawn tractors are kind of an outdated platform, cheaper to build but awfully slow compared to a zero turn.

I think you should. If nothing else to make sure you're still making the correct choice as the consumer. I guess maybe you're boycotting JD because of right to repair then I get it.

Go for welded deck vs stamped deck. They all use the same engines from Kholer or Kawasaki. The ones I physically sat in (toro and cub cadet) both seemed equally solid. I imagine you'll be able to find a post/video for every model of mower that highlights an issue someone had. For me, since...

I think I have it narrowed down to the meteor SB87 or the SB87D (dual auger variant) I want originally looking at the Erskine 925RM, was told to consider the LOFTNESS, as there are a few factory direct leftovers (they no longer produce them), and looked into Pronovosts. The Prono and the...

I agree completely. I think a lot of people are misinterpreting what you are saying as "JD is the greatest!". Rather you are simply saying JD is the benchmark, the pace runner. I too started my search at a JD dealer, I was hoping to see a 5075E or at least get a quote. After a few months of...

My dealer was unable to even order a 4707 with the dyna2 last I checked. Not sure if it's just backordered to hell or what but I had to go to another dealer to get one with dyna2.

White spruce. Ill have to measure but I'm pretty sure its 8-10 between trees and 10 feet between the rows. This was under the recommendation of the local soil and water district. I honestly don't know much about windbreak or spacing but I trust them. This looks like what I would like to do...

Yeah I kinda looked more closely at the sprayers. Def not what I am looking for. I think I was imagining a much more high volume attachment. I think the better option is, get a big IBC tote and just do the gravity system with some PVC. I think I can get two totes for like $100 each and then...

I just had 3 rows of spruce put in, each row is about 1000 ft and I believe they did 8 or 10 foot spacing. They recommended I water the trees if we don't get consistent rain. I am thinking of just purchasing a 3 point sprayer and straddling the middle row. I guess my question is this the...

I just thought of something. Should I consider the bucket as part of the tractor when it comes to width? The bucket is 84" so maybe I want a minimum of 84" snowblower?

While not the brands you stated, there are a few 70+ hp tractors that don't have DPF or DEF. New holland workmaster/powerstar 75, Massey Ferguson 4707, mahindra 6075. There are probably others, but these are the ones I can think of.

This was my main concern as well. After learning that they all use the same engines I sort of just decided I would rather make mowing as enjoyable as possible and not worry too much about how many hours brand 1,2, or 3 is supposed to last. I will probably put under 30 hours a year on my unit...

I couldn't tell you much about mowers except they all seem to use the same engines from kawasaki or kholer. I just purchased a cub cadet ZTS2 60 https://www.cubcadet.com/en_US/zero-turn-mowers/zts2-60/17ASGGY5A10.html#start=2 I only test drove a toro and the cub cadet but had to make a...

Does anyone have any opinion on open gear box vs oil bath? I think I talked to one rep and he stated that the oil bath will last longer and less maintenance etc. How often do you need to lubricate open gears? Maybe open gear is fine for my own use?

well hopefully my situation isn't as bad as yours. Ideally I think adding rock should be like every 5 years, if that There is specific road geotextile fabric that can be used. It's fairly expensive and I think each person needs to determine if they actually need it. It's probably not real...

I think I should be fine for weight then, as long as I stick to the 72-84" size. For chains I'll go a winter without and see if I need them. What is your rear facing snowblower? It looks nice

is this in lieu of stripping that soil and putting down 6 inches? I tried to calculate for my entire driveway, if the online gravel calculators are near correct they say Ill need roughly 150 ton to do 6 inches over 6000 square feet (500' x 12' width). That's why I'm saying 50 ton over 800'...

I'm for sure going to look at this style as well. I think I know of one neighbor that has a blower, the dual auger sounds so appealing for the drifts.

This is kind of what I figured. I think Ill take a closer look at the 72" and 84" blowers. I initially was attracted to the 90" erskine because of the cutting height. But maybe I can find slightly narrower ones with a similar height. I went and dug up the info. I think the visual is...

agree, likely the better long term solution. Im glad to know the loader will work well enough to remove the soil is this a typo? 50 tons seems insane every few years. Ill probably follow a similar maintenance style though, hit it every year after the winter Good luck, how much stone is...

Sadly this is not an option with the drifts. Does anyone know at what amount of snowfall the inverted becomes impractical? Maybe it works even in 3 feet if its all powder?

How much weight do you have total with the loaded rears? I'm still trying to figure out what the magic weight/width ratio for snowblowers is. Another thread seemed to say you want at least 5 PTO HP / foot of snowblower width. Each snowfall normally isn't enormous, its the drift that happens...

12 feet on the stretch, only about 500 ft total length. Gravel driveway 4WD, I will be using it in the pasture to bushhog etc cab 3 remotes 540/540e Im curious what difference having a 1000 PTO option makes for a tractor? I was looking at 540 PTO snowblowers only. I talked with the...

I used a plow truck this past winter, it went okay until it didn't. The tractor has a loader, I don't have any chains, wasn't planning on loading the tires. They are R1 / Ag tires. The tractor is pretty heavy to begin with, I think with the loader its like 9000 pounds? Is there a ratio of...

I am looking to get a PTO snowblower and I'm trying to narrow down my choices. My initial thought was get basically as wide as I can power. I have a MF 4707, and I was thinking of the Erskine 925RM. This is a 90" width 35" height, should fit right its PTO range is 40-90hp. I am wondering is...

Bruno's Power sports out of Arkansas. With interest rates going up I imagine if you're a cash buyer you may be able to get a better price than I did. One thing that I did was called more than once, and just say you don't remember what you were quoted, I for sure got quoted different numbers...

During my shopping period, I had a hell of a time even finding tractors to sit in. I usually had to find a model that was already sold or "close enough" to get a feel for what I was buying. The only one that I actually sat in that would have been the actual unit I was buying was a powerstar...

I am looking to expand my turnaround and do some general driveway repair. I first need to know what tool would be best suited for helping expand the turnaround. Is it possible to use your loader bucket to scrape the topsoil like people do with skid loaders? otherwise should I get a box...

For box blades it seems that they are rated by engine HP recommendations, that's simple enough. Get the biggest one that your tractor can tow right? For Land plane - I'm not seeing any HP suggestions (at least on EA.com), I'm guessing since it doesn't carry nearly as much dirt as long as it...

I am currently in this dilemma as well. I have about 500' of driveway and I plan on expanding my turnaround after my new garage is built. I'm thinking I go with the box blade so that I can actually move larger piles of crap to help build the turn around. Maybe down the line in a few years ill...

Well I feel a bit sheepish. It's nice to actually interact with someone that makes the equipment I am interested in. You're right, I don't want to wait so I'll probably end up getting the one you recommended, and submitting an order for one of yours. I feel like I ran into someone famous...

Thanks everyone for chiming in, this is just yet another thing I have zero experience in and I'm trying to cram likely years of knowledge and understanding into a short period of time. Pardon me if I am asking newbie questions, I feel like the manufacturer doesn't provide easily accessible...

The dealer says the top link is back ordered, he sent me the website of the one they use I'm assuming. Is there a good way to tell what one to get? I feel there are a bunch of aftermarket, is there one that AGCO sells themselves?

Okay I had them add the 3rd remote. Didn't think it was going to be that much lol but good grief. Top link is on back order, do I need the AGCO one or is there others that are better?

I recently purchased a 4707 that I haven't even taken delivery of. In another thread we were discussing snowblowing some and now I'm sitting here thinking did I make a mistake by not having the dealer install a hydraulic top link. I was planning on redoing my driveway with a boxblade (at least...

I just got off the phone with Zuidberg NA. They are going to be sending me a list of tractors that they sell this option for, along with installation instructions. I can post both for the boys if anyone else is interested in this stuff. Basically for the 3point and the front PTO its going to...

It's a little crude, but you might just want to get a side by side and tow one of these things around. https://www.swisherinc.com/fc14560bs-swisherr-14-5-hp-60-elec-start-finish-cut-trail-mower.html I know they make belly mowers for ATV's, but it sounds like a Side by side with the tow behind...

I wonder if Ill be able to do this with the 4707. I would guess for small snowfalls but any big dumps or drifts ill for sure have to use regular 540. 4707 PTO HP is roughly 60. I've been wondering if I should get them to add this. I hear its not terribly expensive, and I saw another youtube...

Ill say your post made me dig into front mount blowers a lot more than I have previously. It's pretty nutty the options that are available, the prices seem like they are pretty nuts as well. I'm not completely against it, but I think for now the rear mount makes the most sense for me. Forgive...

Forgive my ignorance, it is my first year in the country. This mud season you guys reference, this is a yearly thing? I am currently dealing with my own mud and its got me wondering if I need chains now. I figured the mud was this bad because we had a rougher winter and now it won't stop...

As a first time tractor buyer, I found it difficult to get an idea of what I was actually buying. I'm not sure if this is pretty standard to not have the model or something near identical, or if this is a recent phenomenon. I don't know if it's possible, dealers should try and get mock...

Looking at the specifications of the Farm King 960, they want a tractor hp of 90-125. So you are correct saying its a little too large for the 4707. I have been eyeing that Erskine 925RM, single auger, 90" width, 35" cut height. Just kidding, I'll probably be right behind you a few years...

I think these concerns are partially why I am going to order the snowblower through my local MF dealer. They are close so hopefully any "break in" issues I encounter they can help me fix without too much pain. But for the snowblower I figure if anyone knows whats an appropriate size for the...

God I hope not. Yeah originally I was looking at loader mounted blowers from team green. But I determined that my driveway isn't long enough to justify removing the bucket to put on the blower. Ill have to search tips for the blower, I think you've given me a good start. Sorry can't afford...

I have a dealer probably 15 minutes from me, so that part is nice. I wanted to order from them but apparently MF has restricted the 4707 so you can't configure it with the dyna2 right now. So I had to purchase elsewhere that had the combination of features I was looking for. Thankfully they...

As far as blower, I need to do more research, but I have been looking at the Erskine 925RM. It's 3 point 90inch width, 35inch height, 540pto. I figure something that size will clear my driveway and turnaround in no time. I am looking for a bush hog as well to help cut the pasture as I am not...

Glad to hear that it seems like I didn't get completely ripped off. I got estimates for WM75 (51k), Powerstar75 (59k), M4D-071 (70k lol), 2 other 4707 estimates (65k & 60k both without dyna2). I also got an estimate for a 3039r much earlier in the process for 46k. But after seeing a 5075e in...

As title suggests, I did it. I bought a tractor and paid far more money than I ever thought I would for something that isn't real estate. After many hours of reading, test driving, calling, and spitballing on what I should get I landed on the Massey 4707. MF 4707 Cab dyna 2 931 loader with...

Ill certainly have to keep a lookout for date of manufacture. I would figure that extra stock would quickly get discounted as who is going to want to be the guy paying new model prices for a tractor that has sat on a lot for a few years. I went and test drove a tractor today and asked the...

Jay are you saying that all the 2021/2022 Workmaster 75 tractors being sold are just rebranded 2010-2014s? Honestly asking because that would be scary if tractor dealers/companies just rebrand their old stock of tractors that didnt sell every year.

Well in my op I was referring to 2021/2022 model tractors, and I am assuming they are all made with the same standard. That's why I was wondering why some companies go with DPF and some don't, that was essentially my question. Also I think specifically targeting tractors without certain...

Thanks for all of the information. I think I'm in the same boat as Eddie, prefer no dpf, no DEF. Its simply less stuff that has the ability to break in the long run. I will have to keep an eye on the DOC if I get one with that though. I guess you hear about those a lot less than the DPF as...

Appreciate the detailed responses. Is there any advantage of DOC vs DPF? either maintenance, cost, downtime etc? You mention the doc will be higher heat in the exhaust all the time, but it seems like the doc doesn't need to be replaced or cleaned like the DPF? Also is there any easy way to...

I am in the same situation as you, 55 acres but mostly pasture/field. I am going the 75hp route simply because of the size. I want the tires to be as big as I can afford, but then again I'm planning on using mine for snow removal along a long driveway.

Hi there, I am new to the tractor game, I am trying to take my time and absorb as much information I can before I pull the trigger on a tractor. Can someone explain to me why some tractors (MF 4707 / NH Workmaster 75) don't need a DPF and others in the same class (5075e / M4D-071) have a...
