I would look at the Massey Ferguson GC series. My guess is the reason you don't see the legacy sold anymore is the SCUT took over that market.

I ended up not getting it. mainly because it was so difficult to get on and very little room for my frame. Thanks for the response though

I'm about to go look at a new/old tractor. I have had great experience with the Shibaura engines. Have had them in 3 different tractors, this would be 4th, so I know they make great engines. Start easy in winter and run very smooth and trouble free. I have no experience with the Shibaura...

Bought two of these for when I have the equipment out away from the bulk tank. I really like them. https://www.ruralking.com/5-gallon-polyethylene-fluid-container-yellow?gclsrc=aw.ds&gclsrc=ds

Huh!

Congrats! I like the look of the Kioti. I've not heard many owner complaints either. Lots of happy owners. You know, this site wants to correct the spelling on the word Kioti and Yanmar. what the Heckfar?

Maybe he's a business owner.

Year-round growth depends on what you are growing year around. Some of the things you mentioned can easily be grown year round with just an unheated hoop house or greenhouse. You mentioned cucumbers; those are heat loving vegetables and would require some heat in your greenhouse. They don't...

I think we've seen empty lots so long that we think full lots is new. I remember tractor dealers having full lots most of the time. Here I don't notice any excessive amount of tractors than I would have seen four years ago. The prices are definitely higher which makes one wonder if they're...

From the uses you described you'll put more than a hundred hours a year on it. Get something with at least 30 PTO horsepower. I would stay away from rural King for now. You haven't told us what your budget is. Where is the nearest Yanmar dealer from you? Take a trip and look at them

This should complete my implement purchases this year. I have a couple to sell though. I went to the JD dealer to get a couple of hydraulics fittings and spotted this. It was exactly what I have been looking for and the price was right. not quite as heavy as the BEFCO but sufficient for my needs.

Happy Easter, it's been a good day!

Yes I bought one of these for my wife couple years ago and she loves it for raking up pine cones. That's her thing I don't mess with them I would just mow them

I thought that adapter would be more money than it is. That's not a bad price. 90 lb on a tractor of Yours size is negligible. Unless you're really good at fabricating and like to do it I would also go with the adapter. By the time you buy what you need to weld and hire a welder it will be...

There are probably adapters to take jdqa to ssqa. However, by the time you buy it and get it the way you need it you definitely haven't saved any money. I call the dealer and tell him it was a mistake you need to take it back. At least try

I just bought one. Won't have it for a while waiting on the third function. Which is fine I don't plan on using it much until after my garden is in

I just bought this claw grapple. Wasn't planning to buy a grapple this soon but I went over to my Yanmar dealer to look for a Land Plane and the only one they had, that was the size I need, was sold. So I was looking at the grapple and he threw me out a price and I felt it was reasonable...

Ho How about an update on how you like your Grapple? I'm about to pull the trigger on the one from Yanmar. Looks well built for the money. Anyone else using the Yanmar grapple?

I was approached by a company to put a cell tower at the back of my property and were going to pay me $1,000 per month for the life of the tower. I declined because it would have made all of my neighbors hate me and I couldn't do that for $$$. I would still do the same today.

Ok, I think you win the "my rock is bigger than your rock", contest today!

I don't know how wet you're grounded is but with ag tires if it's not too wet I would go nuclear on that site. Take your tractor and just rip and tear every bit of it up obviously put the dirt in a pile you'll need it later. Take your loader and take off the first few inches of topsoil put...

Last summer I was in my neighbor's yard doing a small job with my tiller and noticed he had a rock that he had been mowing around. It was about a foot in diameter and stuck out of the ground about 6 in. I asked him if he wanted me to pop that out of the ground while I was there with my...

If you're just putting in deer food plots you don't need to go deep. till up the top two inches, seed it, rake it or drag a light piece of chain link fence over it, run empty lawn roller over it.

I have the same tractor and a one bottom plow and a disc so we are going to find out, if it ever stops raining o_O. Thought I might get to this weekend but we have a swamp in the yard, AGAIN! Wet spring it's looking like. Which brings up a good point. When you till, may sure you stick a shover...

Oh, yeah, you apparently don't get the growth we get here where you can sit and watch it grow this time of year until the end of July where it slows down but we mow sometimes into Nov.

There are rocks and then there are ROCKs. I can just go straight in and use the tiller on my yard, my son's yard not so much. His yard is nothing but rocks all sizes and I wouldn't let him till without plowing and disking and then see if the tiller needs to be used. While a tiller can handle...

Derringer in your pocket is better than the 44 in your drawer. I carry a 22 magnum NAA Black widow in my pocket when I do carry. When people question that caliber as a carry I say well let me shoot you in the chest with it and see if it doesn't change your plans.

For mowing that much I would want something with at least 25 PTO horsepower which gives you the ability to run a 6 ft rear finish mower. I think you're l3901 will more than do that. Check your local FB marketplace and Craigslist for used rear finish mowers around here they are cheap and...

Plow it then disk it. Otherwise do what Seville recommended take a light pass check for rocks dig them out. With the tiller you can tell you've hit a rock sometimes before you unearth it. if you have another person helping you you can point it out as you're doing it. Hitting a rock once with...

Carb cleaner would work fine.

Baine-Welker bought our closest IH dealer that sells large farm equipment (Evolution Ag). They weren't interested in the smaller Kubota dealer that was part of Evolution Ag. A sales person at the small location told me that. I have taken something to Baine-Welker and was not happy with what...

I could be wrong but I've used PEX a couple times and I never saw any distinction between PEX A and PEX AB. The red PEX is for hot water the blue is for cold. I've spent a ton of time at the Lowe's in home Depot PEX section and don't remember that being a thing. I'm not an expert though so...

There is a lot of information out there that I did not get from my doctor and they are very helpful I have had three different sleep doctors in the past 15 years. They didn't tell me a lot of the things that I use now I had to learn them on my own from reading and watching YouTube. The thing...

Very nice! Congrats!

I don't want to build a list of all the things I have to do I'm afraid it would just overwhelm me. I've been having back issues in my list is piling up

Holy cow 5' of snow may have gotten 8" total this year. Good thing you have the cab cuz I'm sure it's also cold there. Pushing snow or blowing snow and brutal cold is not fun. Nice looking setup

Yeah if you put the corn in the ground before soil temps are 50°, you might as well be feeding it to the birds. Ask me how I know. 😆

I'm going to pick up a 5' Land Pride Heavy duty RCR 1860 Bush hog ($1500) tomorrow looks like it hasn't seen a lot of use. I'm going to sell my 4' medium duty Land Pride. It is 2.5 hours one way but I'm ready to get out of the house.

My 425 moving snow and next to my Lil Case IH Dx24e (sold it). I really love the Yanmar.

That's what pork barrel politics will do for you. He's famous for it, then a bunch of whining on why it doesn't pass. Both parties are bad about it. Then they both wine, "they wouldn't pass it".

Sharp looking Tractero. I like the tires.

I'm trying to find a used land plane 60 inch but they're hard to find around me. Probably going to have to buy a new one.

I'm planning to use it for retirement income. More tools I have for my tractor the more offering I will have. I want to be able to go do a tree clean up job and offer stump grinding too. Sounds crazy but when I was doing tree cleanups with my brothers tree Business it was just me and the...

We can do early spring cool weather crops, summer crops and another late summer planting of cool weather crops. If we use just one layer of cover we can grow some things all winter (i.e. Kale, lettuce & Spinach). I had a Kale plant right behind my garage in a planter up against the garage which...

Yeah Torvy but when you started looking was Longview even a city yet? :D ;)

Sorry to hear that but thanks for sharing and please comment back on how that works for you. I will be in the market for a 3pt. grinder in the next couple of years myself. Unless I find a deal on one sooner.

Too bad we don't have a thumbs down on this site, I'd be hitting it on this rude and honestly bad advice. (n)(n)(n) Most guys on this site want to stay independent as long as we can. Not dealer or family dependent.

I often get too ambitious and plant too early I planted corn twice last year. It's way too wet here too and soil temps aren't there yet either so it's going to be a few weeks. I probably will put something in the raised beds this weekend just to see what happens. I need to get some stuff...

Was in Rural King today and they had a bunch of seed potatoes and onions and other seed. It's putting me in the mood to start thinking about getting some cold weather crops in. I wasn't going to do potatoes this year but you know, I just might. Looks like your deer fence took some work, looks...

@Hay Dude and @Williy sorry to hear of both your losses. Never easy to lose someone that close. My mom died with dementia in 2020 and it was both sad and happy times because she was in such pain from her back and she wasn't mom any more. It's very hard to watch. She went home.

My FIL farmed full-time his entire life after he got out of the military. He worked at a factory and farmed for a few years. Retirement was not in his vocabulary as it isn't in most farmers. He very sadly died of the way he was treated for covid October 2020. He had just sold all his equipment...

I already posted my "retirement" plans on here. They involve my grandkids if they choose to be part of it. Building my equipment inventory up.

He's infectious all right, 😆😷

@Sid Post Don't know how far you are from Tractor Bob in Oklahoma but they have the #1 Yanmar dealer in the US in Oklahoma.

Well if you're bringing inflation and devaluing of the dollar into it, you could say that a lot of investments.

It's a great question and one that I have myself as a yanmar owner. I remember watching a video a few years back that they're planning to try to proliferate the dealership Network. I can't say if that is happening or not. My guess is, that is much harder to do than it is to say you're going...

BEFCO stands for Best equipment farmer can own. They're made in the US and they're high quality. I'm about to buy one of their land planes

Yeah I don't have a lot in the bank it doesn't earn you much there anyway just enough for about 6 months of liquidity.

Again, depends on your situation. Cash is king in my savings account and my investment account.

But the interest rate discussion brings up some good points. With interest rates rising like they are, any company offering financing has to consider that in their package they can offer you. If they didn't they wouldn't be in business very long and you wouldn't want to buy a tractor from...

And your situation is a good example of why they offer the two options and sometimes more options. They are trying to get a tractor sold and make money doing it. You are trying to put your money in the place it works most for you. So people coming on acting like 0% has them a better deal are...

It sounds like he's searching for a problem to a solution. How many guys on here that have owned SCUT and CUTs have had front end axle failures from overloading? Throw the proper amount of ballast on there and don't worry about it. Nothing to see here!

Anxiously awaiting our consequence for you reading it one more time? 😧

It comes down to what's important in your situation, more cash in the bank/ investments or no tractor loan. I'm not hurting for money but I'm not made of it either. So I opted to keep my cash in the bank rather than pay cash. My interest is very low and I can always pay it off earlier.

Just browsing Facebook marketplace there is a lot better used tractor inventory then back in the summer while I was looking.

You know they say ' "the two best days of a boat owners life is the day they buy their boat and the day they sell their boat. " I think, for tractors, the saying should be "the two best days of a tractor owners life are the day they buy their tractor and the day they buy a bigger tractor." ;)

It's kind of unfortunate how politics has created so much anger and division in our country. When it comes down to it both parties are pretty crooked and corrupt. And there are good folks in all partys

Nice looking Branson/TYM. That's about the size tractor I'll be looking at and will probably be looking at TYM if I end up buying new.

My friend does Reddit and I've heard enough about it to know that it's not for me.

My retirement plan is similar to yours in that I have been acquiring equipment and in the next 5 to 6 years I plan to start getting my name out there to do custom work for folks. That will be my early 60s and it will hopefully help me stay in better shape. By my mid-60s I hope to be...

BTW, anyone else see the irony in this "keep politics out of it" thread? It's like a sacrificial thread. You know like the sacrificial plant that gardeners plant to lure bad insects away from the plants you really care about. Radishes make a great sacrificial plant BTW.

I have to say, that is pretty awesome! If you hadn't told us I would have thought it was another cowboy next to the Duke. Your dad's hand on the rifle barrel almost looks 3D.

I certainly understand why some are adamant about keeping politics out of the discussion. I wouldn't want to try to defend some of what is going on either. I wouldn't want to hear about it, I wouldn't want to think I may have contributed to it etc. etc. Let me just stick my head in the sand...

Someone posted a Tractor Mike video of him going over new tractor sales and this is what he called out also. Small tractor sales trending down but large tractor Ag sales are trending up. Could this be farmers trying to offset bad years with an equipment purchase that they could depreciate over...

Hadn't thought of this but it makes sense. My dad did exactly that 2.5 years ago. Went from 20 acres and a BX2200 to a small house in town with a neighbor mowing his yard. We will all be there some day at varying degrees and ages.

Pretty much everything he mentions here I do because I've had insomnia badly and I've done a lot of reading and watching things. Go to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time every night it's important. Without going into all the details of why the above works I 100% agree...

Does that have the engine formerly known as Kukje? That is a lot of tractor for $32k

HOLY MOLY, Torvy finally bought a tractor! Sure you don't want to consider a JD, not too late? 😁 JK, Congrats, Seems like TYM are making some good tractors and good changes. I wouldn't hesitate to look at them.

I too am confident that this thread will find the balance again. I'm not so certain about other, more important things, finding their balance again. This plane's about to go into a stall that it won't soon come out of and the passengers are worried about their free peanuts!

Thanks for updating us. I may be selling my four footer and getting a 5-ft.

Yeah it's not trending well at all. I've seen people on this thread try to compare today's economy to that of interest rates and economy 25 - 30 years ago. It's not the static (point in time) comparison that I'm concerned about it's the trend that we're in.

It might be 0% interest but from what I'm seeing on their websites for equipment costs they're making it up by charging more for equipment. I'm guessing it is a marketing ploy. "Hey let's have 0% interest in an economy where the interest rates are going up but charge more for our tractors."...

Congrats! I understand the feeling of unloading something you no longer need. However, you have 90 acres and no tractor now. That won't fly very long I don't think. Good luck with your used tractor hunt.

I have a new stick picker upper. It is about 40"" tall and picked up all the sticks in my yard in about a half an hour (not too many this time). And it only cost me an ice cream sundae. We call it Ethan. "Do I have to pick up all the sticks pa pa?" Yes you do. 😉

That's about what I came out to also when I did a build just now... That is outrageous. I would go buy a dedicated ZTR for $8 - $12k and keep your old Kubota and put the deck in the barn. Just use the old Kubota for loader work. You would cut your mowing time in half and if you are getting older...

My condolences Willy. You have a whole community of men and women on this site supporting you through this hard time.

Just curious what make of tractors does the dealer have?

I love my weenie tractor more than my wife! 😄. I have nothing to compensate for so I'm fine with a weenie tractor!

Putting a turbo on an increasing the horsepower will not solve this problem because it's not a horsepower problem. It's simply the way hydraulic systems are made on every tractor that's why there are multiple ranges. Even a gear tractor if you have it in too high a range won't pull worth a...

I have found that all of these places even when they're the same company are not created equal. It often comes down to the one guy that's over that shop. I used to take all of my vehicles to national tire and battery in Marion Ohio. Mainly because there was an older guy there named Dave who had...

If you have a yanmar dealer that close that has been around that many years that would be a no-brainer for me. Mainly because I think Yamar makes a better tractor than both of them. I pretty much started my search exactly like you have. I looked for kubota's couldn't find them with a...

All of the above but also make sure you're in low range. All hydrostatic squeal if they're in too high of a range for the work you're doing.

I'm also a fan of Yanmar and a bit biased but I like what was said about a good local dealer. At your age you may not be servicing the tractor long. I know you are about the age my dad was when he could no longer service things well. He had some physical limitations though. Consider that and...

You know what to do when you get it!

Welcome, that's a nice tractor, post some pics please.

Oh you have a little GC also. I had the GC2400 for about 5 years. Nice little tractor. We have the 1750M now on the farm. Very nice tractors.

I agree with JWR, don't wreck your new tractor on that Barn. Hire a big track hoe or dozer to come in there and at least bust it loose for you. Even the bigger tractor you bought isn't made for that.

Interested in this too. While down in Tampa about 4 years ago, I saw a couple kids on electric dirt bike things. They were zipping around pretty good. looked like fun. I don't see a weight limit on there.

Very, very nice tractors! Congrats!

Massey makes some nice tractors!

If you want to be sure that it will, just get the 48-in version. As TT says it will probably do the five footer but you may have to go slower or not take a full pass if the vegetation is too heavy. I have the same tractor so I'd be curious to hear what you do and how it does.

I hate it when people give one star because of shipping. It skews the product review. I find tire reviews to be someone accurate. I usually go to tire rack and read reviews. I trust those reviews over what a tire salesman tries to sell me

I'm surprised at some responses saying you don't need a tractor, I think that is because it isn't them doing the work. ;) You Absolutely can justify a tractor with that work list. We say it all the time, it isn't about the size of the lot, it is about the work to be done. I would want a tractor...

I would want that big of a tractor if I had to deal with that driveway and that county road. We also don't know where he lives it could be a lot of snow. Cab tractor all the way. I can tell you that for years I never had a cab tractor and I would have to time when I got out there to keep from...

I don't think you're wrong and trying to stick with the Kubota or JD. However, you can get other off brands significantly cheaper because they do not hold their resale value quite as well. But you can still get them sold because there are other people out there that want a tractor but they...

Cab tractor is a game changer for snow removal. I'd go that way.

A lot of tractors struggle going up a hill in a high range that's why you have a low range. I don't think your issue is lack of tractor weight at all. If you're trying to go up a steep hill with weight on your tractor in high range that's your problem.

Congrats on the new ride. Post some pics! 😉

Massey Ferguson did it with the 1700 M series. It has the Shibaura turbo engine.

Do yourself a favor and add yanmar to your list. At least go look at them and talk to a salesperson! They also have a "build your tractor" on their website.

Why wait you have plenty of reasons for a newer tractor right now?

I remember when the remote was me. 😄

I've been using true fuel I bought at Lowe's for about 3 years. I love it. I don't cut a lot of wood mostly just wood for burning in the backyard so I don't use the saw but three or four times a year. No more worrying about the carb getting gummed up from ethanol gas.

There are some who believe that they are doing it intentionally. Making people desperate enough to go for any cockamamy plan they then dream up. The S word.

Welcome, yes Massey makes a great tractor!

Just like every other aspect of my life, I refuse to let a few woke idiots ruin it for all the guys who are not woke. I liken it to cops. Just because a few cops are bad doesn't make them all bad. Most are not. If you haven't watched football in a while, you wouldn't realize that the woke...

That's a complete toss up both great machines MF Iseki engines as good as Kubota IMO. It would come down to which color you like better and which dealer seems better.

Philly - 28 KC - 24 Hurts is beast. Philly D is beast.

We leave the skin on an put them on a spit.

What would a bone in rectum be? :unsure:😂

I think it sounds like too much money for a 5,000 hour 15hp tractor that age.

Yes you will notice a big difference in capability between the BX and the LX in every way. Ground clearance is definitely nice. I sold my little SCUT also. The first guy who messaged me about it within a half hour and he bought it for about what I paid for it two years ago.

I think he uses the Challenger for residential lawns, don't be ridiculous 😆 Edit: wait that's @Hay Dude that mows residential lawns with his Challenger.

Yanmar SA425 $20,000 you might even be able to get it for less than that if since inventories are starting to get back in shape. And it is a compact.

What is the PTO how horsepower of the new tractor it shouldn't be that much different from the old one. I assume you're wanting to get a larger cutter but maybe that's a bad assumption.

We had a slow draining bathtub for several years my wife would put pour drain cleaner down at every 3 or so weeks. Finally just decided to try this stuff it is amazing. It blew it wide open now I think she just does it once a year...

MIL is 78 has a horrible diet and there's no change that for a 78 year old. We did talk her into getting this and she uses it and said it makes a difference.

You really can't go wrong with the Orange. Post Pics and hang around if you pull the trigger. Try and negotiate some of the options you want on it when buying.

I have had multiple Kaws and in multiple mowers. For the most part none of them smoked until the one we have now. 31 HP Kaw. Commercial Bushhog HDZ 4 and it requires a lot of choke to start and it does smoke for a bit. I don't really think anything about it. I look at how the engine performs...

I would normally be adding something to this thread but I'm laying on my back on an ice pack so I'll have live vicariously through you all. Keep them coming. The fajita party sounds awesome it'll probably end up being pizza for us too.

Yanmar SA325 does not need to regen as it is under the 25hp requirement. I have essentially the same tractor with bigger tires SA425. I think the SA325 is a perfect option for what you have described. The SA 425 is the same tractor with taller tires and comes with rear remote standard which most...

That's right you guys got pounded with ice 🌬️, not much worse than ice.

:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: That's me after the chinese buffet.

Sitting in his garage looking at it his JD ;)

If I were just using in on mine and my MILs drives I probably would go without scarifiers but I hope to use it to make money with in a few years and don't know what I'll be getting into. So I want one with scarifiers in case I get into a very neglected driveway, like my son's house. I will...

Here is the one I'm leaning toward buying. I am thinking of buying the 72" one too. Since I hope to be putting in yards for folks in about 5 years from now and will want the extra foot. If my Yanmar can't pull it in dirt I may have to get a bigger tractor later on. ; ) Which I plan to do...

I see you have Fido in a body suit that matches the Ranger. I do also like the color of the truck.

Years ago, on my other property I had the back two acres planted in switchgrass. The seed was provided to me by joining an organization called Pheasants forever. They were trying to provide more habitat for game birds like pheasants and quail. I tried to burn it which you are supposed to do...

Is it 6 speed Auto or manual? Fun factor increased with the later.

Your Focus sounds like a fun car but I'll stick to the luxury ride of the Avalon. Most of the Honda Accords, Toyota Camry's etc. are made here in the US. Probably with Japanese and Chinese components, just like your Focus. BTW, His Avalon was made in Kentucky...

Go buy one of these if you are closeish. Forget about the backhoe and hire that work done or rent a trencher. You can use this for probably 80% of what you want to do and mow with it afterwards. It will just take forever and a day to move that much stone with it but hey, you may enjoy it! I...

I bought one for $3500 a couple months ago, a 2002. Bought for my son's girlfriend since she was in a hard way financially and we really like her. It runs/drives like a new car, better than some new cars. It only has 129k original miles and was taken decent care of. Needs struts but I bought...

Actually, I saw one the other day ...
