What's the good/bad with this tractor? Anything I should look out or be aware of? It's 1974, 140hp, 4300 hours. I'm just looking for some cheap HP and this fits the bill. It looks to be in good shape with nothing major wrong. I spoke with the dealer and they said a few things: - Cab is basic...

Wow, what a difference in quality versus store bought. I raised four lambs this year to market weight. Got 170lbs of meat total. Fed them a good supply of alfalfa (in addition to timothy/grass hay), grain, soybean meal, and some beet pulp. They were pastured in spring/summer/fall. Lots of...

Where I'm at it's no surprise to see coyotes. But last night I was in a bit of shock. Our four dogs -- two Shelties and two Bernese Mountain Dogs pups (3 months old) were outside in front of the house. I opened the door to feed them and my female Sheltie and one of the pups ran inside, but when...

Not tractor-related but farming-related, so close enough. About a month of welding, wiring, and other work and money went up in flames around 2:30am on Friday. My wife and I woke up to what sounded like a tree falling -- the signature cracking sound -- so I got up and took a look outside to see...

I've never owned a tedder but I'm looking to purchase one for this season. I've found a used that needs a bit of work (new tines, etc.). Owner said the tedder is in time but it has gone out of time before. What exactly does this mean? Not everything is rotating in unison? Is it something...

I found an excellent deal on a 4 horse gooseneck (27' long). Now I've got a 07' Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab (4x4, with tow package) to tow with, but I know it needs some "work" to make it suitable and safe. Gross weight for this trailer is 5000lbs. Adding in two horses (2400lbs combined), two...

Hi everyone, I'm in the market to purchase a used, second tractor for the farm. I need something that will be responsible for ploughing, discing, seeding, and running a discbine on 135acres over the years, and possibly an extra 30 acres on top of that. 4wd and dualies have been recommended to...

This has been my second year doing hay, but the first doing it myself. We're in August and we still don't have a break in the weather to harvest, I can't believe this! We managed to get 40 rounds off in early July but most have spots of mold in them, not good for our horses. I still have about...

I've put about ten hours onto my new MX5100 so far. A couple hours in there was a hydraulic transmission fluid leak out of the transmission case. They came out several times before it was fixed. Now, a few hours later, there is a slow an oil leak under the block. If this was a new car, I'd...

Continuing the tradition here, I thought I'd share some pictures of my recent purchase, an MX5100. Having never owned or sat on a tractor before, I was a bit intimidated when it was delivered and they said hop on. Minutes later, though, I'm digging, leveling, and having fun. Smiles all around...

Hi folks, I'm new to the farming scene as of last year. I bought a thrower baler, haybine and rake to do some small squares for ourselves. I will be cutting/raking more hay that will be round baled by a neighbour for us, too. We've got 135 acres with about 90-100 I can cut. I now have a...

I'm new to farming and have been looking for the implements to do haying. Here's the MF124 thrower baler. It seems like its in good shape and it's working: Massey Ferguson 124 Throw Baler w / Hydraulic Swing Osgoode, Ottawa And here's the Gehl 1090 Haybine: GEHL 1090 HAYBINE Osgoode, Ottawa...

Brand new with loader, 4wd. $26,500 CAD plus taxes (less farm exemption). 0% financing for 3 years. Thoughts? I decided I don't need a larger tractor (7040) for now, and this tractor is more than capable of doing round bales, etc. Thanks!

For a 2008 M7040, 4wd, Loader, Hydraulic Shuttle, etc., ROPS Model. Price is $39,500 CAD, tax in, so under farm use I end up paying $34,365 CAD. How's that sound? I opted to go from the 5040 to the 7040 for the increase in power, plus I get a full tax exemption by having at least 62hp at the...

Hello, New here and new to tractors as well. Hopefully you can help me out with pricing and the size of tractors. I don't want to walk into the dealership and have them tell me I need more machine than I honestly do, and be none the wiser. This is what I'm looking to do: - Cutting and raking...
