    Buying Advice  I've narrowed my tractor choice down to a 1023e or 1026r

    I've been looking for a new mower with a front end loader and 3 point hitch to use around my house in eastern OK. It's a 3 acre lot, dead flat except for some ditches along the road that are still easily mowed a couple months a year when they're dry enough to support a tractor. If they're wet, I...

    New TC55DA

    I sign the papers today on my new TC55DA EHSS with 270TL QA loader, brush guard, right side step, and Bradco brush grapple! I almost bought a JD 4120 last year, but put it off a year due to finances. This will be my 3rd summer at my current place and I just couldn't wait any longer to get out...

    Tell me about the TC40/45 PTO engagement

    How does the PTO engagement on these tractors work? It looks like a mechanical lever to me, but the salesman said it was like an electric switch that just went on/off and that I'd have to reduce the engine speed before engaging it so I didn't shock the mower too much. Also, does it have a PTO...

    Tell me about 20 series PTO operation

    I was reading the owners manual for my "if funds were unlimited" choice for a tractor... the 4000twenty series and noticed they outlined a ritual for PTO engagement. It says the "machine" (I assume this means tractor) needs to be stopped, reverser lever in neutral (or foot off pedals for the...

    Allis Chalmers WD45 hand clutch slipping

    The hand clutch on my WD45 is slipping... if I grab it and pull back it'll stop slipping (or at least there'll be enough forward motion that I don't think it's slipping). When I first got the tractor (a whole 5 days ago) the hand clutch grabbed really hard. Now it doesn't grab, the engagement is...

    Got some seat time - 3240 vs 3040

    Spent some time driving around the dealers lot today. The 3040 defintely fits me better, the steering wheel on the 3240 is quite a reach, and if I move the seat up the pedals are too close. Do these have tilt wheels? there was boot around the bottom of the wheel like it did tilt, but I couldn't...

    Questions about L4400 and Grand L's

    Questions about L4400 and Grand L\'s Spent some time at the Kubota dealer today looking at tractors. I noticed the 3130 and 3830 that I drove were quieter than the L4400 that had a canopy on it. Are the engines in the GL's quieter, or was it the canopy making the L4400 sound loud? On the...

    Advice on 35 PTO horse 4wd tractors

    35 PTO horse is the minimum... with most of the tractors I'm looking at right at 35 horse due to $$$ and manueverability concerns. Right now the front runner is the JD 990. I've also looked at the 4x20 series, Kubota L4400 and Grand L series, New Holland TC40A, Montanas, and Farmtracs. Money...

    Price Check  Looking for Price and info on 4540 and 4340

    I'm in the market for a 4wd tractor with at least 35 PTO horse. I stopped at the local Montana/Farmtrac dealer on Saturday to check them out. I was pretty impressed with the Montana... but I was less than impressed with the prices the dealer quoted me. I was quoted $19,900 for a 4540 with...

    Tell me about the 990 and rough terrain mowers

    I'm looking at getting a 990 with a 300CX loader to do some work around my land. 29 acres in eastern OK, mostly flat, about 2/3 wooded with lots of large rocks. I'd mainly be moving soil to maintain ponds, build a backstop for shooting, move around large rocks (up to 1000 lbs maybe... it's kind...
