The new Ford Tractor 1953 - YouTube

My buddy and I rented one of these. And had it for 3 or 4 days (8 machine hours), I ground 12 or 15 small stumps on my property, he ground 5 or 6 on his, a buddy of his ground 10+ stumps then I ground a few larger stumps for a few other people, the extra stumps I ground paid for 1/3 of the...

I have used the big box stores for a shed before, bought one of those plastic sheds from lowes 10x15, it's a "royal outdoor products brand" called "The Winchester", I built a deck for it and built the shed back in 08 and it's doing great down in southern Ohio. That being said for a barn I...

What can you all tell me about this mower? I seen it pop up on CL and don't know much about it, my concern would be finding parts and how it would do on hills. Not sure on hours yet, guy is asking $2800 for it. Good price?

4sq ft of floor space per hen in the coop, 10sq ft in the chicken run, 8in of roost per hen which must be higher than the nesting boxes, 4-5 hens per nesting box, I had around 80 chickens at one time lol. The plastic bins on this type of design is really nice and easy to clean out, I built it...

Drove a few miles down the road today to pick up a free round bale, local farmer I know started bailing and it was too wet so he racked the hay instead, he said the grass was dry but the oats were too wet. He killed all the grass in those fields, replanted with a mixture of stuff, it's a really...

That's around what there going for in Ohio, $1500-$2500 range. That's a earlier one. A buddy just picked this up a few weeks ago from a auction, it's a 53. Are you in the market for a cub? If so what do you plan to do with it?

I moved around my feeder and put a bale in it. Rotating pastures for the cattle.

That's kinda what a TBN group hug will look like. Be sure to RSVP [emoji16]

This is what your doing. This is what I want you to do, is there any questions? [emoji57]

Turf tires get around noticeably better in the snow then R4s do, look at actual snow tires, they look like turfs, not R4s. R4s perform better for loader work, that's about it, turfs hold there own in the mud also, R4s are a poor performer in mud.

Mine does something similar to what the OP describes, I have a load on my pallet forks on my FEL and it can lift it but can only curl it about 1/2-3/4, if I lift higher it will relieve enough pressure to curl it the rest of the way. I don't think I have a problem though, like others have said...

Have him buy one of these lol, fit it with knobby tires

A buddy of mine bid on this trailer for me, so I bought it site unseen, I'm debating if I should keep it or send it down the road. It's a 80" x 16ft 8000lb trailer with 2in ball. Wheels look to be aluminum, one tire is less than 50% tread the rest are in good shape, it's got cooper tires on...

A buddy of mine just picked this up at an auction today, it didn't have a battery but all the spark plug wires, distributer cap and other electrical components were new, the gear box is stuck in reverse, the shifter is broke off or something but he picked it up for $350. Front tires need...

The FS 40 c-e I believe was the one I was looking at for $160, it was a curve shaft, the strait shaft weed eaters were $350 and up. According to there website they carry the 91-131 Professional Trimmers For Sale in Circleville, OH 43113 I started out with Husqvarna chainsaws and liked them a...

I thought so too until I needed parts, I have replaced the break booster, master cylinder, front rotors/ disks/ pads, radiator cap, power steering cap, oil air breather, exhaust, installed a cat 5 receiver, both upper and lower coolant hoses, both heater core rubber hoses, starter, starter...

I use this type also, works flawlessly. Just last week I pulled all the saws out, cleaned them up, pulled the bars off, greased them all up and put them back together. That's my method to sharpening blades, I take that in the woods with me to sharpen as needed. I can get about 6-10 chains...

5 acres of mixed ground - What "little Deere" do I need ( D155, S240, X330) Go by the lift to full height figures, that will give you a better idea of what the machine will lift, you will have at least that number on forks I would guess. Also what your not thinking about is how...

Cleaned, sharpened, greased and ready to go.

I updated my app and now very sadly I have ads on the bottom of every thread. I find it really annoying, what about you guys? I thought there was another thread on the new Ads but I couldn't find it.

That was after I tied max up outside, I let him out last night around 11pm, I shut the door and sit back down waiting for him to bark to be let in and I get an aroma of skunk in the house. My head dropped, so I walked to the back door and max was standing on the deck, his mouth was watering and...

If only my barn could house a 400hp tractor or above. That's exactly what I need for my place. I wonder if I can fit a FEL on one?

My most recent seat time was on a chair dismantling, lubing, sharpening chains and cleaning my two all time fav saws. The little one needs a new chain and the big one needs a new air filter, old one had a hole in it from deterioration. But both chains are razor sharp, bars pulled off...

Closest thing I can find.

I found something similar lol

On the other side of the spectrum guys are talking big things about the Husqvarna GT48DXLS, it has really high reviews on here, 24hp v-twin Kawasaki engine and it's got deff lock, fabricated deck, new is just over 3k. I mow with a Husqvarna GTH2454T, it's a big box store version with a 54in...

If you want a diesel for not as much money look for an older 455, if you can find one with under 1000 hours you will be golden, same with the old 445s, my dad has one, it has 1050 hours on it and has been trouble free since he bought it new in 99 or 00, that tractor would climb any hill you put...

My GTH2454T just started displaying this: I just rolled over 250 hours, time for its 50h oil change.

I was watching a video on YouTube and saw this, the guy hauled that ladder with that tiny truck [emoji23]

I think a lot of times bales are over estimated on weight. What size bale would you say that is? It's possible it weights 1600lbs but being the weight is so far out there, a 1000 or 1200lb bale feels super heavy. Biggest I moved was a 6x4 that was estimated at 1200 lbs, my tractor is rated...

I just saw this at work, the pallets have been screwing around again. [emoji848]

There it is, $12.50 in all its glory professionally installed I might add lol. I'm getting 33v AC out of the alternator and I'm getting 13.3v DC at the battery, my problems are solved.

I would also second repair, a new version of what you own will be 16-20k new, if you can throw a grand or so into your tractor, still better than a tractor payment. I have the same dilemma on my truck, I could keep throwing cheap Ford OEM parts on it from advance or sell it and buy a more...

First off if your not "hostel" why do you keep bringing up my personal Husqvarna? I never compared my Husqvarna to anything on here, and you continue to bring up my neighbors which shows you care greatly about the way your neighbors see you. You brought up many times how old my machine is and...

Your wanting to buy used or new? Are you wanting to lift round bales on the FEL or 3 point? You will have to buy a Grand L Kubota or bigger to move large round bales with the FEL, your smallest tractor will prob be a 1533 Mahindra, my tractor has a lift of 1750lbs to full height, it's never...

My deck takes less than 5 mins to remove, 5 pins, pull off some brackets and a tug and she's out, I pulled my deck to clean it out just today, I was getting a build up of grass and it was bothering me so I scraped it all off. I will say my decks metal is getting a bit thin in places lol My...

Just ordered the regulator Amazon.com : Voltage Regulator for Briggs & Stratton 691185, 39489 : Lawn And Garden Tool Replacement Parts : Patio, Lawn & Garden $12.50 with free shipping, estimated arrival may 25th-31st Next will be an oil change, it's got close to 50h on this oil, after that...

I should have taken before and after pics, I'm surprised it could discharge anything lol, sticks and all kinds of crap stuck inside.

Last week I mowed I didn't have a issue, this time was diff. First I hopped on and the battery was dead which was odd. I jumped the tractor and started mowing, after about 35 mins it started dying so I disengage the blades and the hour meter comes back on, I parked it closer to the house...

I'm entering a JD garden tractor picture contest on FB, which one is the best?

I just googled those puppies, pretty mean looking blades.

Nice trailer. PJ has been around awhile that's a 6x12 landscape PJ with a 3500lb axle that's been in service since the late 90’s, it's my dad's and it's been used by the family and all his friends, thing is constantly being used and loaned out. That trailer is a tank, it's held up great in...

Guys and Gals, I just happened to look up a few videos on YouTube about zero turns, well one video led to another and I found myself watching a guy cut a lawn professionally and he said he was gonna charge $50 for a tiny little yard because it had a lot of pine needles and was around 6in tall...

When I was little (now 26) my dad always used rope to tie down his smaller loads, mowers, quads ext ext. it wasn't until later that he went primarily to ratchet straps. I still remember trying to get the rope tight and tie knots so it stayed tight, I guess it was a useful skill to pick up...

My 4320 is basically left side only, no step on the right side. On the right side I would have to fight the directional peddles and joystick/ plastic dash, I have never even tried to climb up on that side.

Shaking our heads? Trying to aid a injured animal isn't something to be ashamed of, sure chickens are cheap but they are deserving of care and respect. Chickens are some of the mistreated and neglected animals out there from what I have seen, they have more complex needs then people realize...

I have found a lot of times it's better to get by with what you have then spend big bucks to upgrade. I do it all the time now lol. There's tons of stuff I would like to have but find myself putting off to pay down other things. I'm still hauling with my 81 F150, I finally decided to just keep...

I missed this post at some point. And to think I have been stressing about my receiver and ball mount I bought for my truck, all rated more than I need, I picked up a hallow Reese 6k ball mount for a 7500lb 2in ball. I have a separate 2 5/16 ball set up was a 16k curt ball and a solid 15k...

You could use a single axle trailer lol. 3500lb axle minus 2500lb tractor leaves 1000lbs for the trailer itself, I bet a 12ft would work, you minus the tongue weight also so 500lb tongue leaves 1500lbs on the total trailer weight which is plenty. That being said the length of the bush hog...

How much trimming? Acre wise? If a lawn tractor is what your after, I would stay far away from any MTD made product like the cub cadet, go with either Deere or Husqvarna. Husqvarna will be the best bang for your buck, you can get a 54in GT w/ deff lock for a tad over 3k, it sports a 24hp...

I wouldn't tint the glass, it would just lower visibility to an extent. Why convert new lights to LED? There's a few guys on here that pulled off there old cab lights and put up a strip type LED light and they seem to really like it. Personally I feel the lights I have on my 4320 is more...

You could make a 12ft trailer work with the FEL hanging over the front, my 4320 will take up 14ft with the loader on the deck. Weight wise you will be within range, my buddies 18ft 10k trailer weights 2750lbs, a 12ft 7k will be less. Add your 5k tractor and minus 500lbs or so tongue weight and...

I have only owned my tractor 6 months, put about 30 or so hours on it in that time (now 855h) no issues so far. I just use mine for FEL work feeding cattle round bales and such, I have to run my tractor down the road once or twice a month in high range to work it lol. I'm not the one to ask on...

Recommendations for a good mower with at least 72" deck? I also would try to keep the equipment under 1000 hours if you can, I would not buy a machine with anything close to 2500 hours, that's just asking for repairs every weekend. I mowed my 3 acre lot with my dad's 445 garden tractor...

My advise for you is to look at the entire rainbow. For this reason: inexperience! You can research tractors for days, be dead set on one tractor maybe two, get it home and find out that the controls aren't to your liking or that you wished you bought a different tractor. Tractor dealers...

I'm glad I bumped my insurance up on my barns when I bought the house after reading this. My exterior structures was at $15,000, I bumped that up to $150,000 for $20 a year more lol. I have a 22x32 barn with 12x36 lean to (stalls) and a 12x15 lean to that's concrete with its own garage door...

What would you say the trailer weights? It's a 3500lb axle, 3 bales estimated around 900lbs each, 2700lbs, leaves 800lbs for actual trailer weight. Total was 3600lbs (estimated) of hay plus the weight of the PJ 6x12 trailer. I personally think they were over 900lbs each, that load pushed me...

Total lenth of JD 4120 & 3720 w/FEL & Backhoe? Trailer info needed... Theres a pic of my 4320 on a 16 + 2 trailer, with the pallet forts sticking out the front, with the bucket on the forks. I think 14ft would be darn snug with the backhoe. If you had the FEL hanging over the front I...

They left there pets at home.

I do believe I over worked the old girl yesterday. That was an interesting drive back home.

I bought my tractor with forks and a bucket, I have never used the bucket, it just sits in my barn. I get by feeding my cattle with forks, this year I will weld a mount for a spear on my fork base so I can take the forks off and put on the spear. Big round bales are a bit of a hassle with...

I have a 05 HST 4320, its turbo 4 cylinder with 48hp, similar to the 4052R. I really like this machine, it does a very good job with everything I have asked of it, mainly FEL work. Mine has 835 hours on it. One thing to keep in mind with a turboed tractor, if the exhaust faces forward like...

My buddies 28XL, just a little hoe with I think a 10in bucket. It's not the greatest digging tool in the world but it will get it done, down it 6ft I think. For weekend projects I think a frame mounted hoe is fine, will take a bit longer but will get it done. I priced a 1533 with a land...

Following. 5HP per foot on a bush hog, you may get away from running a 5ft pull behind bush hog on that tractor. Something like this, would help get around the weaker 3pt lift capacity.

The 5075E? I was looking at the 3038E with a FEL. The FEL is not quick attach where the rest of the competing tractors were, the fuel gauge was in the hood instead of on the dash. which would bother me and the tractor was light, I don't remember how light it was but I remember it was quite...

I posted this on another thread but will here as well. I had to use the manual today lmao. I got most of all my mowing done, just a little left on back by the pasture but a pulley idler bearing gave out on me. $15 a pop, I ordered 2 off Amazon along with a spare stationary idler. Total $67 to...

I had to use the manual today lmao. I got most of all my mowing done, just a little left on back by the pasture but a pulley idler bearing gave out on me. $15 a pop, I ordered 2 off Amazon along with a spare stationary idler. Total $67 to the door for x2: 532 19 61-06 (Pully Idler), x1: 532 19...

I have had really good luck with Husqvarna products, I bought an Ariens HST for my mother back in 2010 from HD and it's going very strong. I personally have a Husqvarna older GT 24hp with 54in deck, it cuts great. Husqvarna makes lawn tractors for many companies and I like them a lot, the...

If I was ordering a tractor I would get these tires: Titan multi trac. In fact I think I might shed my R4s and price some for my tractor. So far I'm not a fan of R4s, I don't feel there traction would be any better than Titan turfs in mud and they suck in snow where Turfs would excel. Most...

Scary stuff.

I used to be able to take a SS with my phone and post it as a picture here but now it hangs up at 95% and says an error has occurred, anyone else get this?

Hey Brett! I'll do you a favor and trade you trucks, just put a class 5 receiver on the old girl and ordered a class 5 ball mount and 2 5/16 ball, total is good for 16k lbs [emoji23]. What do you say? I'll tell you what, I will Finnish wiring up the trailer 4 & 7 pin combo trailer hook up and...

I would hate a neighbor like that and I think border wars is totally stupid. Neighbor doesn't even have a right to ask you to move your shrubs 4ft in your property, it's your property. I guess the guy who lived in my house before me turned into this guy, totally border wars, the neighbor to...

I have a mower and tractor. Older GT2454T husqvarna for mowing and a JD tractor with FEL for work. In the 5k budget you will be hard pressed to find two machines in your price range, used always goes further than new. That's my neighbors hill I cut for them, there elderly and I wouldn't...

I have a 60in MMM that's on a 2013 that I would like to sell, what's it worth and would it fit on the eMax? Or does it only fit the 28XL? Deck is in good shape, I was gonna clean it up, touch up any paint defects, grease pulleys and change the deck belt just to show it's been taken care of.

That property would be perfect for me! lol I had to fence in my pasture by hand, slamming in Tpost with one of those fence pounder thingy ma bobs in June of last year, it was hot and miserable but on with the story. It all depends on what you want to do with your property, in my experience a...

Well I got everything done at my moms, I found the old Ariens filthy, front tires almost flat, rears really low on air, I pumped those up, changed the oil, for the fun of it changed the fuel filter that's now 8 years old (tractor was made in 09 and bought beginning of 2010) changed the air...

My only experience with a new tandem trailer is my buddies, he has a 18ft, 16 deck and 2ft dove tail equipment trailer that I have used to haul my tractor, hay and my F350 dump truck. It's got breaks on both axles. The 16ft deck is just barely enough for most of what I'm hauling so I can...

Here's my experience with JD and Husqvarna. First off I'm a very big fan of both companies, and I can't remember of a bad product from either companies, I love Huskys chainsaws and am a huge fan of the premium JD mower lines. My Father bought his 445 JD new in 2000 and I have had hundreds of...

That was mowing last season (August 23rd, 2016) with the John Deere 445. That was with the husky. (September 28th, 2016)

So my receiver showed up today in the mail, I'm excited to install it on the truck. What brand of receiver did you buy? What truck is it on, what class receiver and what do you haul? I ended up buying a receiver, trailer combo 4 and 7 pin, and a trailer break controller wiring kit. The...

In my opinion the stance of a tractor is more important on hills than weight, my husky seems to be a bit less stable on the same hills I mow compared to my dad's 445 which I know weights a lot more, he has great big wide tires compared to the narrower tires on the husky and the husky isn't as...

First off I have 3-4 head of cattle on 3 acres of land. I like the 3 series, that's the size of tractor I thought I needed for my needs also, but I ended up buying a used 4320 with 835 hours on it. As a first time tractor owner initially the 4 series JD seemed really big. Almost too big for...

The hairiest thing thing I ever have loaded that I will be honest scared me lol was this. F-350 Dually, 2wd, 5 speed with NO BREAKS whatsoever. That one was stressful, if I went too slow the rear slid on the steel ramps, I felt too fast and it possibly would jump the stop at the front of the...

So based on the Deere E series or the non grand L Kubota. I would go Kubota lol. I looked and sat on both tractors, I didn't run them both. I liked the Kubota L4901 and didn't like the E3038 JD. I would have chose the 3038E over the L3901 based off loader capacity alone. My thoughts on the JD...

That's all this old girl has under her skirt

My buddies 16+2 10k trailer, that's when we transported my dump truck and tractor and when I used it to get hay. 10k would be minimum, 14k would be nice but could do without. I have yet to find a load too heavy for his trailer that I need to haul, usually it's a lack of truck first. His weights...

I actually need a ballast box lol, moved a very large round bale (well over 1000lb) last week and wished I had more weight on the rear. 2005 John Deere 4320, my current ballast is a 6ft Ford rear blade.

I pulled mine out of the barn, let it idle about 15-20 mins to get it warmed up and shut it off. Pulled the truck in the barn to work on it, after I was done I pulled it out, started the tractor, swept the barn out waiting on the tractor to warm up and pulled the tractor in the barn lol...

All is well here, chickens and cattle are happy, grass is starting to grow. The truck got a new starter, starter solenoid, oil change and all fluids checked and topped off today, it had a alternator belt squeaking when it started up, I got that good and tight and a new passenger side mirror...

A quick pic of my stat, it's been in the 60s during the day, the house picked up enough heat that at 1am it's still 70 in the house which means it barely ran at all today.

I dropped chains today, my Monster Husky Garden tractor vs my little 4320 and the Husky won! It's such a beast. Lol, it cuts grass significantly faster also. Lmfao!! Disclaimer: I don't have any type of cutter on the 4320

So I did some math today and it looks like this, some mistakes on it but I'm not rewriting it lol. So that's the total KW usage of last year, they say that the hot water tank is an average of 18% of the bill, I used that in this figuring. Long story short I'm looking at 8.5 years to make my...

Thinking about replacing my hot water tank, my current tank is a 40g, it's a Rheem offbrand and says it uses $503 per year average. My tank works just fine, this is solely for energy efficiency. The unit that caught my eye was this Rheem Performance Performance Platinum 5-Gal. Hybrid...

That's what a normal element looks like. That's what a more efficient element looks like. The idea is the element has more surface area and the heat will be better absorbed by the water. Honestly idk if it is any more efficient, it was a good enough idea for me to buy two and replace mine...

3pt forks are good for moving pallets ext a few feet off the ground to another location and setting it down. Normally the 3pt has a much heavier lift capacity than the FEL. That being said weight close to the pin in critical, the round bale I picked up yesterday with my FEL was a bit over...

Did you get one of those Polly carts? 6ft wide trailer is mighty handy, we have a 6x12 PJ landscape trailer and it's been great, the expanded steel gate is awesome. It was ordered with the side gate, can haul a quad sideways and a mower in the back. It's got a 3500lb axle.

So in my area I found Mahindra 1533 to be the best bang for the buck out of Case, NH, Deere and Kubota. 1. Mahindra 1533 2. Deere 3038E 3. Kubota L3701 4. Case and NH (CNH) were tied, way over priced. As people has mentioned, non of the tractors are made here, lots have assembly plants here...

I will add that when pulling logs, weight is very important, the same goes for ground engagement ext. The odds that you will run out of HP when pulling or doing FEL work will be rare, you will spin tires much sooner. Iron weights and even filling tires can be expensive, tire filling is Rim...

What I use my pallet forks for. I have never measured what there length is. I know there about 6in shy of covering a 4ft round bale. So 42in? I often wish they were longer but these get the job done. I love my forks, never even had the bucket mounted, I have been able to do EVERYTHING with...

I unloaded this big B, And hauled it to the cattle feeder, I don't have a bale spike, just pallet forks. So this happened lol, first time ever. It wasn't hard to right up, did it by hand lol. Here's an example of the 4x5 bales I have been feeding them. Also I got the garden tractor...

Hey everyone, I have a 2005 4320 JD compact, my question is what should the minimum time of running the tractor? I use the tractor mainly for the FEL, I use it to move round bales and cattle tubs a short distance, I hear it's not good to start a diesel up, run it for 10-15 mins and shut it...

Cattle was getting low on hay and I'm out of hay so I had to buy a round bale and feed that to them before work, I will buy more this weekend with a proper truck and tandem trailer. Used the farmers tractor to load the bale, drove the bale home and used my 4320 to unload into the feeder.

We got a dusting, first time in like 4 months she's seen snow.

I took advantage of the nice dry-ish ground and worked some ruts with a rear blade, I made in the pasture this past winter AKA rainy season. Fed the cattle a round bale, unloaded 2 cattle tubs, one to the pasture and the other in the barn. #200 tubs that I didn't have to handle, TSC used a...

More mud in the future lol

Here's an 100% off topic but fun comparison with the diff between what my dad was working with and what I'm working with now. 1950 Case SC: 4200lbs, 31hp at belt, 22hp at the PTO, 2.7L 4 cylinder gas, 1600 RPM, 14 gal fuel tank. Original price $1700 in 1955. 2wd 2005 JD 4320: 3800lbs, 48hp...

I don't understand why people are bashing Mahindra as a company of crappy tractors, what should be blasted is the dealer for letting Mahindra down. My great uncle gave me the best advise when I was buying a compact tractor, he said: "Buy the tractor that's easiest to get parts for, they all...

Lmao the driver acted like he had no idea how that could have happened. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] I loaded my dump truck up on a trailer and that truck had no breaks, that was a stressful load and unload. Luckily nothing was hurt or damaged.

What about that big boy? 12 footer pull behind, $500 woods Listing as follows: 12ft Woods Flail Chopper model FL144-2, hydraulic lift good condition

I haven't called on it yet, not knowing much about flail mowers, what should I pay attention to? He wants $550 for it. I would have 6hp per foot so I'm good there. What does a wore out knife look like? From the pictures it looks like right under the PTO shaft, looks like it has a good amount...

Yes you never want to rush it. Using them in sync isn't too bad, HST is deff easier to run but after using my tractor for a few months I was given the opportunity to run a 6130 I believe it was. 130hp JD It had a loader with a manual transmission but it had A, B and C range gears 1-3 forward...

All I have ever used was my phone, I don't even own a computer lol Does it look like this?

As a kid, that would be pretty cool.

I fed the cattle a round bale today, I was super excited that the ground was froze, first time in 2 months I had that tractor on frozen ground. Older pic but same job. Last week after I bought the old 36in roller mill. Hooked up up and was playing lol.

I have owned the house going on 3 years and nothing has ever walked off from the house, I have had max about 2 years. I had a 4x6 trailer walk off from a unlocked barn before I got him. Yeah one reason the bill was high is I ordered 12 months of heartguard (being he's over 100lbs he has to take...

I just took my shedding fool into the vet for a 3 year rabies shot, by the time I left the bill was $408 [emoji37]. I was just figuring up in my head after I got home, between his previous owner buying him as a puppy to what I have paid in vet bills, toys ext he's very close to or over $4000...

Road Trip! Lol

Well we had a week of frozen ground which was nice, now back to this. All thawed out and just mud now. Chickens are having a ball playing in the mud though.

I bought it. It needs a few patches and I will take it to a welder then I'm gonna sand blast it and repaint it, the discharge auger also needs a little work (someone extended the discharge cover and it's rotting thin metal which needs replaced. First thing I did was pull off the wheels and...

Hey guys, I found a PTO driven badger Roller mill on CL and can't find much info on it. I'm gonna go look at it tomorrow. I do not have a model # or any info on the grinder, all I know is the grinder is in good working order and has a 10ft discharge auger off the back. I plan to use it to...

This one is a 4x6 with a 2000lb axle, trailer is around 450lbs

I couldn't imagine 800, that's crazy. Well I could but would be about 200 times bigger than my set up. I gave $250 for that dump truck lol, only reason I'm not struggling much is because I have a full time job to support my cattle habit lol. I'm down to 3, the 4th has another 10 days of dry...

2wd with Triton V8, starts right up, goes into drive and reverse with no issues, sounds like a heathy truck

Guys what do we think of 2001 F350s? I'm looking at one tomorrow going up for auction on Thursday. It looks like a 2wd from pics on the internet, it has a lift gate and a flatbed. It has 57,700 miles on it, I kinda wanted a V10 but from what I read they are 05 and later, as of right now idk...

I did apartment maintenance and we always used sharkbites, In my own house that's all I use also. So far I have put in a 10in whole house water filter on the main coming into the house. I put a water Spicket so I can hose things off in the basement when needed, and I installed a new twin tank...

We still haven't froze here, after that thaw the ground has just been mud, unfortunately I still have to get tractor out, load up round bales and feed the cattle if the ground is soft or not. It just sucks, went all summer and fall with no issues and run into this in Jan. Hopefully the ground...

I guess this is as good as any of a place to post this. I'm tired of mud, I got my tractor stuck yesterday. I hauled my dumptruck to my place so I can work on it in my barn and hopefully get it going before spring, well I parked it outside by the barn, fired up the tractor to feed the cattle...

I already have this truck. That's a 1985 F350 4x4 5speed with a 460 v8 in it. Cab was replaced to a 93 F150 XLT. I gave $250 for it lol and I have insured it for a year and half even known it's done 3 miles on the road in my possession. I prob paid more in insurance and plates than I gave for...

I was more after retirement advise lol and I feel kinda bad about putting off saving/ investing for retirement now. Mainly because all the projects I still need todo this spring, fix up the dump truck, haul gravel for the driveway and sell the dump truck lol. It sucks because I'm fidgety about...

Guys, My grandpa has a 1929 General Purpose JD sitting in a old barn, it's been sitting there since the early 90s, my dads 1950 Case SC was in the same barn, I pulled that out and put it in my barn and my dad and I got it running. But my grandpa said no to the JD because it had bad rings in the...

I'm still driving my 1981 F150 custom 2wd with 4.9 everyday, it's a good working truck and everything is rebuildable. Is the old stuff as good as the new? Prob not but you can still by rebuild kits for everything, there super easy to work on and parts are cheep. In that aspect there better than...

Yes he's constantly talking, he has a indoor bark for when he wants treats or I taunt him with toys. He whines constantly for a number of reasons from being bored and wanting attention to his toy fell off the couch and he can't be bothered to jump down to get it so he just stares and whines...

The bike isn't mine, it belongs to a guy that rents a room in my house, the caddy I paid $2550 after tax and title at a goodwill auction with 78k miles on it, the Husqvarna I bought used with 325 hours on it for $800. The tractor was just hosed down. I only used cleaning products (pinesol and...

I got bored and cleaned my tractor up as well a few days ago, I found a owners manual behind the seat lol was happy not to have to buy one.

Hey man don't knock the fence lol I was happy with that fence, had to hand pound the T post and bought all the chainlink used on Craigslist. I didn't have a tractor or anything to assist, just man power. I have 3 acres but want to get my hands on another 10-15 acres this spring to rent so I can...

The horse drawn sleigh I think is freaking awesome, that's bad azz. Around here the mud is getting worse, I was spinning pretty bad just feeding the cattle a round bale today. I wish I could post the video, I just took screen shots.

There is a lay out, deff lock is "D"

I just laugh when people call my tractor giant or big, I'm like my tractor isn't big compared to what farmers drive. And yes it operates very much the same as my dads 445 JD, two hydro peddles on the right, deff lock on the left side, the button to engage the PTO is the same ext just located...

Your tractor and mine are very similar, only difference is age and HP Edit: ok maybe there a little more different than I thought

That was last weekend, I have to give the cattle another round bale this weekend, it will be as bad or worse this time. I cut in my yard getting the round bale 8 inches, 12 inches back in the pasture. Makes me really ponder the idea of a larger gravel drive, I have my bales stacked on the side...

I can sell you my truck but it's no NC truck, it's an Ohio truck that pushed a lot of snow, my next truck I was gonna head south to buy, a rust free truck. It's already had the cab changed out once. Manual trans, 4x4 but tires are like new, I will be going threw it this spring, it's got a...

Here's an update, I never got a picture after I tarped it. it's been raining and super windy last few days.

It looks like the spare tire just falls off the trailer when he hit a bump, makes me seem to think people loosened his load or he's really bad at tightening things down. Fender would hit before the spare tire would. Case in point The spare tire sticks out as far or the same width as the...

I had 2 steers and a bull calf in 2016, my first steer goes to butcher the 27th of this month, if I find ground to rent I want to go up to 5-10 this year depending on what I can afford, it's just to make extra money. And I enjoy it. I still have a full time job that has been financing...

I'm too broke to own a proper livestock trailer lol

Looking to buy a truck, I'm thinking 3/4 ton or 1 ton. Truck needs to be dependable, easy to work on and maintain (by myself) and cheap to work on. Basically a good old farm truck, I need it to haul 7500-10k safely. I had my eye on a 92 4x4 flatbed F250 with 7.3 IDI with 118k miles My...

Just got it all stacked today and covered with a big blue tarp. It will be all gone in 7-10 weeks by the way my cattle eat.

This was my Christmas gifts lol. (I asked for money) 6 round bales and a calf. I just had to go get them lol

I have to move mine out to open my hood. Under hood just cause.

That's what I ended up with, I can do 4 on the bottom and 3 on the next tier, 7 stored plus one in the feeder should be enough to last most of the winter. Just healed 6 more bales today for $20 a bale

I meant to edit my post but got busy, model tractor lmao I thought to myself my grandpa has a 29 JD general purpose and is AC was the first it could have only been by a few months. So I looked again and it said "model" tractor lol. Which brings me to steam tractors either was later than I...

As far as I can find this was the first AC made. Model U in 1929 was said to be the first production farm tractor.

That's the real orange your talking about correct? Orange in 1846 Wouldn't that make Kubota a knock off? Kubota started in 1890

Hey everyone, I was thinking of a way to store net wrapped hay outdoors, seeing if anyone had a slick way to store round bales. The goal is to keep the bales as dry as I can, I would like to keep them off the ground and covered. I was picturing two rows of treated lumber I had laying around...

I just picked this guy up today, it's a red Angus and jersey cross about 8 months old steer and around 400lbs Jersey steers and bulls can be a bit more aggressive than beef breeds in my very limited experience

Wow, That would be horrific and something to deff think about. These are the same forks I have but are not mine and my tractor is cabbed so there's a little protection there but I will most deff be careful.

There's my little buddy. I have a bad but turned out ok story on him, one day I was out in the yard with him training him on boundaries of the yard, and a lady was walking down the road with a stroller, max sees the lady and the stroller and bolts after them, I call him and he doesn't...

They called for 1-2 lol That was before I went to work, we got another 2-3 by the time I got home Just took this one

First snow of the year, the drive into work should be interesting.

I didn't want to start a thread over this, I saw this in the tool isle at Home Depot today and was curious what they were thinking

My grandpa is a old time farmer and we were talking about tractors one day, he claims if you put a shot of diesel in the tank of a gas tractor it will pull much much harder, but he mentioned you only want to do it if your pulling hard, otherwise it's hard on the tractor. Any truth to this?

Farmall M and JD 4020 are said to be 1 and 2 of most tractors ever sold.

Is your tractor thirsty? On my way!

It's amazing how rare a orange tractor cake is, Google tractor cake sometime and try to find one lol. What's not rare is pumpkin pie pics

There's the man of the hour, welcome back to my glorious thread, I made you a cake.

Pretty tractors right there I have a diverse garage lol

Just killed two birds with one rouge R4 tire right there.

Never set it up but I can see that being problematic if it's not completely consistent So it fools the Tstat into thinking it's satisfied so it shuts off early Btw your correct on checking voltage and I understood it was checked correctly, if someone knows how to work a meter and says they...

3240-5400 rounds per min. I would want a HST for that one if you don't melt all the barrels instantly

Christmas is just around the corner, if money was no option, what tractor would be on your wish list and why?

This thread really took off from this lol

$51k for a 450hp tractor of any kind is a heck of a deal, but I'm sure it will prob be under powered moving dirt around, you want something more along the size of big bud which can work over an acre of ground per min. Only tractor fit to own for even a small garden right here

One is a Super A, the other is a Super C

I could google it but that's not as much fun. My question is what's the science behind digging a hole? It seems when a hole is dug and filled back in there is never enough dirt to level the hole, why is that?

It said on your profile you had a boom pole.

I really enjoy the quality of the old tractors also but I really really like the safety of the newer ones. My dad had a 1950 Case Sc I rescued from a old barn at the farm and got him to fix it with me. We got it running and I drove it a few times but man that thing can be dangerous if your not...

I think this tractor will out pull any tractor in this thread:

Which is the original?

Just as the title says what brand in Your Opinion is the best brand of tractors and why? Let's say 120hp and under so most brands that have compacts but not big Ag tractors are still in the competition.

HOPEFULLY, this will be the last time chopping leaves, you can still see the line on my yard and the neighbors from when I chopped my leaves last week and they didn't lol. The kicker is I still have 2 trees in the front yard that still has leaves.

LMFAO! It's a disease and your infected with tractor fever. It will start with one, before you know it you have 3 nice ones and working on restoring 2 more wondering where all your barn space went. I'm not there yet. I haven't even made the first payment on mine yet and I'm already thinking...

Last bird I cooked was the way Americas Test Kitchen did Julia Child's recipe. It took a little time but was delicious and the stuffing was off the hook awesome. There's many good ways to cook a turkey but that's my preferred way. You basically cook the white and dark meat separate and for...

Just for fun lol

All I have to say to this is.

That's that wood I was talking about, super hard stuff

Google agrees lol

I have debating this for a little while. I have a 05 4320 JD, the thing weighs around 5200lbs with the cab as far as the closest estimate. I don't really pull anything with it right now, mainly FEL work but I like the idea of putting more weight down low to offset the cab. BUT don't like the...

I just googled it, wow there's a few diff ways to use pallet forks to move trailers.
