    FORD 555 TLB

    I've been looking for a used 555 and noticed that a lot of them have rebuilt motors with only around 3000 hours on the machines. Seems like the engines didn't last too long before needing a rebuild. Any inside info on those motors? Thanks.

    10,000 hour tractor engines........

    I was reading an article in the Irish Farmers Journal about a Landini tractor and they said: "The Perkins AT 4.236 engine, producing 93hp in the original 9880s, is about as reliable as they come. Everyone in the know says this will go for at least 10,000hrs without any attention, provided it is...

    Deutz Fahr is phasing out their air-cooled tractor

    I was speaking to the U.S. importer for Deutz-Fahr tractors and he told me they will be phasing out the importation of tractors with Deutz air-cooled engines. This is due to emission and noise regulations coming into effect for tractors. The air-cooled engine doesn't do well. They will still...

    Zetor Range 1- 4341 vs Forterra series

    The Zetor Range 1 tractors (4341) seem to be a good solid tractor and a good buy. I'm sorry they will be dropping this model for the Forterra series. Are they similar tractors? Will the Forterra be open platform? Any spec's would be appreciated. The Zetor 3pt hitch lifts double what most...

    trouble on tractor financing

    I cut up my credit cards 10 years ago and went cash only. Now I can't finance a tractor because I have no established credit lines. I have $5k to put down on a tractor & loader. I need the tractor for my new business. Any suggestions for a "hard to finance" tractor buyer? Thanks for any help.

    I came across an Alabama state contract to buy NH tractors and one of the dealers sold a new NH TL80A for almost 40% off list price. $25,750 list and sold to the state for $15,455. Seems like a lot off list. How many percent off could a regular joe get? Thanks.

    rear axle size

    I looked at couple of MF's (1455v and the 461) and noticed quite a difference in the rear axle size. The 461 (made in Brazil) axle was massive (5,456 lb. tractor) and the 1455v (made in Japan) looked undersized (comparatively) for a 3,560 pound tractor. I'm not degrading the 1455v but it...
