kubota l3940

I have my tractor in for that differential repair. The dealer suggested that the lifters should be adjusted, he said it should be done every 800 hours, I am at 1,450 hours, I don't know if the 800 hour adjustment was done, I bought it when it had 900 hours. His quote was really quite high, $800...

Hi all. I just got bad news from my local dealer. Somehow almost all the gears and bearings on my front differential as destroyed. I don't how or why but suspicious on a 72" front blower and subframe that was sold to me by a dealer. I've had it about 4 years now and every year when I install...

Hey, Have a new-to-me L3940. Going to have a loader put on here in the next few weeks. Was playing with the loader joystick and it feels stuck, like it can't move. I've played with the valve lock and it doesn't change. Should the valve feel immobile when there's nothing hooked up to the loader...

Just looking for some suggestions on aftermarket loaders. I swiped a L3940 in good shape for a song and am going to slap a loader on it. My local Kubota dealer quoted my $7k for a LA724 w/o bucket. There's Westendorf, Bush Hog, and Koyker, but I haven't found many others. Woods used to make...

Hey guys, back for help once again.....my 2006 L3940 with diesel engine is now at 1960 hrs. Over the past several years, I have noticed the engine will blow a poof of black smoke when it starts and sometimes under heavy load and RPM 15-1800. it may be my imagination, but it also seems a...

Hello! I was using my hydraulic log splitter this past week on my Kubota L3940 and experienced a hydraulic fluid leak. The leak is from the left female quick attach coupler on my rear remote and the fluid sprays out all over when I activate fluid pressure. It started when I had been using...

I was mowing a couple of days ago and the engine died on me in the middle of my mowing. Couldn’t get it to restart and could smell the strong odor of diesel. Got out of the cab and noticed fuel dripping out underneath. Popped the hood and found a fuel line had come disconnected from what I...

Have a 3940 with 1100hrs. Bought new in Jan 2008. Hydraulics serviced every 2-years with new oil and filters. Last time was Super UDT2 in Aug 2017. Starting a month ago when starting tractor when lifting loader it wouldn't immediately lift. Took a second or so. Now recently if you go right...

Doing coolant replacement yesterday, I realized Kubota published specs for L3940 cooling system is 8.7 quarts, but radiator is less. This is an issue trying to get 50/50 coolant/water mix when you can't completely empty the cooling system. After the flush, I added just under a gallon of...

I have a Kubota L3940 with hydrostatic transmission. The tractor has stopped going into reverse when activated by the pedal. It stopped working when I was driving thru some brush, so I thought a branch may have become wedged in the reversing mechanism. However, no branch and no visible evidence...

My 2009 L3940 with 250 hours was beginning to have odd fuel level readings, reading fuel level that was less than actual tank level. Bar graph would go up and down between 1/4 and 1/2, or fuel light would come on at any given time. Even with tank completely full, I would never get a reading...

Got in my tractor moments ago, and it cranked once then nada. Turned the key, and a rattatatat sound emitted, now no sound at all. The key was NOT left on. There are barely 500 hours. Can I try to jump it with my diesel truck? Should lights on dash appear when hooked on with jumper cables? I...

I've got a 09 L3940 HST. My cruise has recently stopped working which I use on a daily basis and also the tractor will not move with the HST pedal until 2500 RPM's are established and it lunges forward when it does engage causing it to be very jumpy and there is no finessing it. In reverse, the...

Today, I discovered that the battery on my L3940 is drained. Workers used the tractor and left the key on where over several weeks the battery drained. When I discovered it today, I attempted to jump start it with my Ford Ranger (V6, 12V) but it would turn over only a few cranks and then...

Hello gang, my L3940 hit 450 hours the other day and the Service Inspection indicator came on. I know this happens at major milestones, I didn't think 450 was one of them. Just checked the Kubota Workshop Manual and there are only a few things to check at 450, so I surprised it would come on...

Got down to -13F ambient (-41F windchills) last Monday here in central Indiana night. Had to move 11" of wet heavy snow and drifts on Tuesday morning, so I took a video of my L3940 starting at -6F. Very happy, fired right up with just one cycle of glow plugs, no other starting aid (heaters...

I know it's me again with another question, I bought a new 5 ton dump wagon to pull with my L3940. The dump wagon has a hitch hole size of 1.2 inches and the pin needs to be about 6 inches long. My tractor drawbar hole size makes little sense to me as it is not a uniform size. It measures .987...

Does anyone know whether Kubota recently changed their ROPS design? I have a L3940 I purchased in Jan 2012. I recently had some issues with dealer installed lights (see other thread). They had to replace the upper portion of the ROPS. However, the new ROPS are 3-4 inches taller and have a...

Just completed first transmission fluid change at 400 hours as suggested by ops manual. Used Kubota UDT and filter. Now the tractor has a little "jerk" each time I put it in gear that it did not have previous to changing fluid. I can use the clutch and eliminate the "jerk" but that seems...

Well for you kubota guys that have a l3940, i just saw one up close at the fair. So i took a picture of it. An when you stand right up to them, boy there bigger then you think. Even to the right of it, there is a B3200 which was nice. My tractor is small to them. Just thought i would share this.:)

Instead of bashing my new powerless L3940 HST Cab tractor I would like to turbo the thing. I see the same engine is used in the Bobcat S-160 skid steer with a turbo. Rather than tell me why I don't want to do this can you throw me some ideas? Very serious here. Thanks, Fred

Just a heads up guys (and girls). I have an 08 model L3940 with 170 hours on it. Got on it to bush-hog last Sat. and noticed a shudder in the hydraulics, power steering and FEL, most noticable at idle. When revved up it went away. Went on and did some work only to find about an hour later when I...

I bought a Kubota L3940HSTC with about every option on it cab, a/c, and heat, etc along with a mid mount 72 inch mowing deck and a 72 inch skid steeer quick attach front end loader less than a year ago. I've put only 34 hours on this tractor, and I've found it's not suitable for my needs. I...

I own a L3940 and planning on purchasing a Phoenix Finish Mower soon, either a M60-S (60") or M72-S (72") model. I'm leaning toward the larger (72") mower, which is rated for tractors between 30 & 50 hp, but I'm concerned that with only 31.5 hp at the L3940's PTO, I may be pushing my luck...

I was set to order a new L3800 HST with FEL, but one of the local dealers has a 2010 L3940 with 244 hrs on it for about the same price. The 3940 also has extra remotes rear and mid. So which are more valuable, the extras, or the warranty of a new tractor? My use will be on a hilly 125 acre...

I installed just two valves (one with flow detend) with idea to be used for a top and tilt system. The install of the valves went pretty smooth. Just want to point one small design flaw found during the install: because the valve bracket is wider with almost 1/2" than the existing bracket...

I'm preparing for a new winter project: adding remotes on my L3940HST. Working all summer with the box blade, I saw how much extra work I was doing just to adjust the box blade: tilt the box up, tilt the box down, keep it horizontal, etc. so I decided to added 2 remotes just to TnT my box blade...

I stopped at the local Kubota dealer today and they have a new 2012 L3940 with a cab, 724 Loader with the heavy 72" bucket for $34k, I inquired about getting a backhoe with it and the dealer told me that no backhoe is available for that tractor with a cab? Is this true? Is $34k a good price?

I just installed the WR Long on my L3940HST to actuate the 48" Mini Eco Grapple from Wild Kat Attachments. Overall was a "smooth" install with no surprises. Because the instructions in the kit are not based on L3940 I said let's put together some quick instructions for other members on this...

My new L3940 was delivered today, really like it. I'll post pictures when I get a chance, but one thing is really bugging me. Is the steering supposed to feel "notchy"? I'm used to very fluid steering, and regardless of where the RPMs are, with the loader on or off, and at varying speeds, it...

My L3940 won't be here until the 28th of April, and my grass is awful tall. I'm taking a break from mowing the grass with a Cub Cadet 33" walk behind. Good workout I guess! Learned one thing, I NEED my tractor:thumbsup: Made me wonder, what's the most you've ever push mowed?

Hi Everyone, Welcome to my newbie "I'm buying a tractor and need advice" thread. I'm trying to decide if buying a new tractor is worth the ~$7,000 difference in price vs. a 2008 model. I've looked at a used 2008 Kubota L3940HST with cab, and the LA724 Loader. (Quick attach bucket, I think...

What are the major differences between these two machines? Looks like Engine HP and PTO HP are the biggest differences. Just wondering if there is a big difference in performance and other specs. Maybe loader lift capacity? The dealer quoted me $23,705 for the L4400 and $26,356 for the...

Hey I have been internet and catalog drooling over a L3940 for the last few months. I finally stopped by a dealership today wanting to test drive a L3940 with GST transmission. They did not have one but they did price me one out. It came to 24,200 tractor GST and loader. I was hoping for some...

Yesterday I was using my grading scraper to level/ smooth the dirt along a new fenceline. I was doing a lot of raising, lowering & feathering of the 3PH lever. Oddly, my 3PH dropped a couple inches all on its own & then held firm there. I re-lifted it & that worked fine, for a moment ... but...

My wife and son have been hauling in a lot of round bales and they said you have to continuously steer the L3940 ever so slightly to the left to maintain a straight line on the road. You don't notice it in the fields and around the farm just on the road where you're trying to go straight at high...

I presently have the L3130 with the la 723 loader and want to upgrade to either the l3940 or l4240. The l3940 only comes with the la724 loader. My question is . The la854 specs show a lot more lifting capacity. Does it pan out in reality or will I not notice the difference from the la724. Any of...

Tonight I finally got around to adjusting my L3940's Auto Throttle, & it works great now! :thumbsup: For those that don't know, the Auto Throttle is set at the factory to immediately wind the engine up to full throttle (2700 RPM) just about the moment you touch the HST pedal. The engine's...

Every time I am about to go Green, Orange comes back with an unbelievable deal. I was about to go with a JD3520, HST, 300CX with R4s for $25k. I now have 2 Kubota dealers going for L3940, HST, with R4s, LA 724 + 72" bucket for $26k. The web reviews say the 3520 is not super stable on steep...

Its me again Margaret. I thought I had it all figured out on what tractor I wanted until Saturday. I'd looked at the Mahindra 4035 and really liked it and the price, but no dealer network around here which left me with my other option. A Kubota L3940 HST. Well, I finally made it to my local...

Right now I can get an L3940HST with FEL for $25,800. I can get an L4440HST with FEL for $23,800. I've never owned a tractor. I can count on one hand how many times I've actually used a tractor. I plan to bush hog, grade with a box blade, and clear brush. Am I really going to miss all the...

What is MSRP of a Kubota L3940 with a 724 FEL?

I have not had the chance to test drive either one of these machines. I hope that changes this weekend. I was quoted around $23,000 this weekend at a Mahindra dealer for the 4035 HST model with FEL. However, he didn't have one on the lot for me to try out. I have not gotten a quote for the...

The driver's side hazard light bulb on my L3940 quit Sunday, & I forgot to pull the old one for replacement. So I can bring a new bulb with me next time, does anybody know what bulb it takes? If you haven't seen some of my other posts, I drive my tractor about 4 miles from my parents' barn to...

Our L3940 is used everyday for feeding 50 head of cattle or doing something else. It's kept in an unheated insulated steel building but even with temps in the 30's outside it's having some difficulty starting. It hasn't failed to start yet but it's pretty darn sluggish at turning over. It's run...

Mounted the sub-frame for my plow this week. Just for kicks mounted the FEL with sub-frame attached to see if it would work. #1, the grill guard has to be removed, it interferes with the sub-frame hydraulic cylinder. The FEL is operational with the sub-frame mounted, but there is interference...

My l3940 has under 500 hrs on it . While mowing the tractor stopped moving and I recieved and erro message 81 pedal. After it sat for an hour it worked again. The dealer took it in and checked it out and found nothing wrong. I got it back and 2 hrs later it did it again. They replaced the...

Has anyone had a problem with the hydro drive stop moving the tractor, then get a erro message 81 pedal?, I had dealer replace sending unit on pedal and after 2 hrs same thing happened again. After this happened 4 times and the dealer had it in shop 5 weeks this summer it still is not fixed.

Got pics this weekend of my quick hitch sub-frame front bracket and grill guard mounted at same time. I use my front bracket for trailer tie down, so I want it left on at all times. It is a real pain in the butt to mount both front bracket and grill guard at same time, so I used 2 counter...

170 hours on the machine. Lately the joystick has been sticking in both the curl and dump function. The joystick will not return to the neutral position, without being put there manually. Raise and lower functions perform as the should. Is there some lubrication point that I have been missing...

My 1990's 3650 spun a bearing - it sounds like the old pump was weak and on side hills did not get enough oil to the #1 crank bearing. The dealer quoted over $14K to fix it. They had a used 3940 with about 600 hrs. After some talking got them down to around $25K difference. I wondered if the...

Since delivery, I've only used it a couple times. First time was to unload some pellets. Used the backhoe for the first time tonight, moved a couple bushes. It's so dry, they might not live, but I needed to get them moved for some work I'm starting on (and I really don't care if these bushes...

Anyone have this problem. I went over a bump the other day and the tractor shut down. 2008 Kubota L3940. The dash rotates thru Depress Clutch, PTO, and just keeps doing that. It's not the PTO switch, have checked that. Have tried to jump the PTO sensor. nothing. Seems like something...

Thinking about trading in a 3 month old L3940 Gear drive,QA Loader, Metal canopy, R1's, 105 hours, looks like new. I am considering one of two tractors to upgrade to. L3940 HST cab, 4x4, QA loader, 2 remotes or L5740 HST cab, 4x4, QA Loader, 2 remotes I plan on going to the same dealer I...

Hi all, Quite the newbie here, to the site and tractors in general. I'll try to be complete but brief. Just bought a 20 acre place. 5 of the 20 are house and 2 corrals. The rest is brush land, we're talkign central FL, so flat terrain, but things grow fast. 2-3 weeks can get 3-4ft deep. So...

Love my L3940HSTC especially the cab keeps dust and heat out. I am thinking to add a backhoe attachement but realized Kubota does not have such an option (b/c cab). Is there any backhoe implement available? Thanks.

7 footer. There's one for sale locally, says excellent condition (aren't they all?!) ... haven'y seen it yet. But will my 3-ton, 40.5HP, 31.5HP PTO tractor handle it, or is it just too much? I don't try to bush hog 2"+ diameter trees (I saw those down), but I want to be able to mow heavy...

Hi all: I'm about to purchase a new Kubota, just not sure which one. I have a L2800 now and love it, just not enough tractor. I have 25 acres, mostly wooded, hilly to steep. I've had about 4 acres cleared for pasture and hope to build a house, pole barn, and horse shelter. My tasks for the...

Disc'ed today, then used the FEL to level a very small ~10'x~20' area, & these two odd things happened while using the FEL: 1) At one point the HST pedal wouldn't go down to go forward, at all. Wouldn't budge. It worked fine in reverse, but wouldn't budge downward to go forward. Cruise control...

Took me a week or so to stop bush hoggin' long enough to snap some pics, & now some rain to get me off the thing so I can post 'em ... but here it is; After looking high & low, kicking tires, test drivin' a few, weighing pros/cons, agonizing over what I really need vs what I want vs trying not...

Just needed for around the county, no highway use, for a Kubota L3940 with FEL. 2005 Car Trailer 20', slide in ramps, 8000lb winch

I live in the NC/SC area pretty much on stateline and I called three dealerships today about pricing on a 3940 HST with R4 tires, 724 loader, two lever QA, 72" bucket, the prices I got was all 300$ apart lowest being 25,500. Is this a decent price?? I would like to take advantage of the 0% for...

Need a little help diagnosing what is wrong with my l3940. I was bush hogging for a few hours and I was headed back to the barn when I noticed something was a little wacky with the throttle. I normally have it set so the rpms vary with the throtttle pedal. That way it drops to idle when sitting...

My L3940 has less than 10 hours. However, it's difficult to shift into LO range on the hydro. I've tried blurping the throttle, moving the FEL joystick, etc. It's been a tad difficult when I bought it, but wouldn't go in for almost 40 minutes this week. Dealer is picking it up for a looksie...

We just bought a piece of property (17 acres) that we will be building a house on eventually. I am looking at getting a L3940 HST to do a number of different tasks such as a mmm for when there is a yard (about 3 acres), to mow the other 14 acres with a 72" woods brush hog, plow snow (approx...

Hello everyone, I am new here to the forum. I have an 07' L3940HST that intermittently shuts off when operating in a forward motion. I am pretty confident it is one of the safety switches on the tractor that is malfunctioning; can someone tell me the location of these switches? I know there...

I purchased L3940 last fall with 7' front blade, good decision for the winter we had, but now I find the occasional use for a loader. From what I can tell, the LA724 has two bucket options; 72" square back bucket, or, 72" heavy duty round back bucket. Which do you have? Do you like it? If...

I have a Kubota L3940 4x4, FEL, Ag tires...~40hp I will be using the land plane to level off pasture in gulf coast "gumbo" soil. My plan is to rake my rippers from my 6' Gannon box blade, rip the soil, then use a 6' roto tiller, then once the soil is workable I would like to use the plane to...

Last week I picked up a new L3940, and after the first couple hours of seat time, I realized that the factory toolbox is not nearly large enough to accommodate the tools I like to have available. I gave it a little thought, then started throwing together some steel... Here is what I came up...

I need to add rear hydraulics to my L3940 to operate an old John Deere trailer type 2 bottom plow. I'm pretty handy... Is this something I can do myself, or should I let the dealer handle it? Also, what can I expect to pay for the parts, and/or installation? Thanks for your help.

We were checking all the fluids yesterday, took delivery this week and everything looks fine except the front axle didn't show any oil when I backed out the check level plug. I took the fill plug out and twisted up a clean blue shop towel stuck it in and it appears to be 1/8 - 1/4" low. Now...

Looking at Kubota's website but can't find any reference to the L3940 HST that people speak of. I am looking at the L3400, but would like to know the differences.

I guess since we're owners now I post over here. So far so good except for a couple minor mistakes by the dealer. He was suppose to bring a Bale Spear, when the tractor was delivered Tues. and we still haven't seen the spear. Also one of the keeper bolts in the FEL linkage is badly bent, it's...

My wife and I are seriously thinking of getting one or the other. The L4400 looks to be a tried and true simplistic tractor. The Grand L40 series looks very nice and has a lot creature comforts that both of us like. We're looking at the long haul, every tractor we have except the Super H was...

I just sold my L3130 DT 4WD to move into a tractor with the cab. Tired of freezing in the winter and let's face it, why not? I think the power in my L3130 was been adequate for my snow pushing, dirt moving, etc. but that's only because I haven't owned anything more powerful and don't know any...

I haven't signed the check or dug up any taters with it yet, but looks like I'm on my way to proud ownership of a 2007 300 hr L3940. No photos yet, but wanted to thank you all for all the great info on this site. When I began browsing a few months ago, I knew absolutely nothing about tractors. I...

Has any body added rear work lights on to there cab tractor? I was wondering if all the wirering is there already and all you had to do is install the switch and hook up the lights on the rear.

The harvest return L3940 with a LA 742 loader with QA arrived. I installed the grapple itself to the old CAT bucket we already had, the hydraulics were done by the dealer. The tractor is very nice, the HST+ is very enjoyable especially the auto throttle. My question to anyone with a set of...

If you have a L3940 or similar with either R4's or R-1's, can you tell me what the height is with the ROP's folded down? What the approximate rear wheel width is? Thanks.

Finally got my L3940 all pimped out and ready for winter. Have owned it for 6 weeks now. It is a HST model with the beefier R3 tires, quick hitch, and 84" front snow blade. Also mounted is an 84" Land Pride rear blade that was used on my 1950 8N, which I still have. I also added work lights...

My L3940, bought new from authorized dealer, has a total of 150 hours on it yet has already spent over a month in the dealer's repair shop. Most recently, the right front wheel fell off. Has anyone experienced similar problems? Anyone know what to do? I am wary of continuing to use it, and this...

Trying to make up my mind whether to go with the L4400 or spend 3500+ more and get either the 3940 or 4240. Only reason I'd do it is if I could substantially increase the volume of the bucket (meaning cuft capacity) and get a round back bucket that's not available on the 4400. Can't find any...

Will farm ballpark 5 acres and have 5 Acre MX track. Possibly hay and possibly produce. Will have nursery, small vineyard, small orchard and a couple of greenhouses. Combination clay and sandy land. MX track requires a lot of front end loader work and would like to have to be able to use a...

Has onyone bought a new 3940 lately with a cab? I'm looking to buy one in June with a loaded and a MMM. I wanted to see what others are paying for them so i can tell if I a'm getting a reasonable price.

I'm considering an L3540 or an L3940 for food plot work including plowing with a 2 bottom 12" plow, discing , spreading and seeding. I'd like some input from folks on the machines I'm considering. Thanks!

Hi everyone, this is my first post on here. I have been lurking for a month, absorbing as much of your collective knowledge as I can. Anyway, I have a 10.5 acre place that is heavily overgrown, last bush hogged about 18 years or so ago. I have been trying to decide what tractor I...

I'm looking to buy a new L3940 HSTC w/FEL and the 72"MMM. Does anyone know what a fair price is on this unit.

Hello, My father and I have a tractor we are looking to trade in. It is not that old and does not have high hours on it (3yrs and 300 hrs). There is no service in the local area for the tractor as the local dealer does not carry that brand anylonger. We also would like to step in in HP and...

I can purchase the L4400 HST for about the same as the GL3940 GST. Both would have front loader (LA703 vs. LA724) and I'm adding an additional remote for using a grapple. I will be brush hogging about 16 ac. of pasture, maintaining 1/2 mile gravel drive and about 3 miles of woodland trails...

Hello all, Thanks to everyone on the forum for the helpful information. This forum certainly accelerates the learning process. Pulled the trigger on the L3940. Will pickup in Bayfield CO this week. 724 Loader, with loaded R4 tires, quick attach, aux hydraulics with hose kit to the front...

Does anybody know if this is possible? I would like to have the ags for better traction in the back and have the R4s on the front to help with loader operations and a little less tearing up the grass when mowing.

Hello to all, this is my first TractorByNet post although I've been lurking for awhile. All of this while patiently waiting to close on a small land purchase in Eastern Washington (boy it's tough to get home financing these days). During that time I've been shopping for tractors and have...

Does anyone know if the la723 will work on a L3940. Found a good used loader for cheap and was wondering if it will bolt right up on my tractor. What is the difference between the la723 and the la724. Any help is appreciated.

Can anyone tell me what wrench size fits the oil drain plug on an L3940? I'm doing my 1st oil change and the largest metric wrench I have is 19mm and that's too small. Thanks. -- Danny

I can not decide on which one to get the L3940 is 22,900 and the L5240 is 27,800 they both come with rear remotes and the loader and the tires are loaded. I will be doing brush hogging and box blading and also some plowing and tilling, food plots trails etc.. We have a JD 855 now and it just...

I'm new here. First I would like to say that this is a great group with a welth of good information. I am going to be buying a new tractor and I have narrowed it down to the L3940. What I am not sure of is if I want to go with GST or HST. I'm kinda leaning towards HST. What do you all think?

Can anyone give me some idea how the price of the L4400 HST will comare to an L3940 or an L4240? I haven't been able to get a price yet on the L4400 HST. Thanks!

For the past 18 years I have used B model (current B2910) with FEL and 60" MMM to mow 8 acres (4 farm lawn and 4 field) and move snow here in the NE.I have looked at the B3030 cab, but really like the L3940 because of the comfort of the larger tractor and cab. The L3940 is the max L series that...

How does this pricing sound? L3240 HST R4's 724 skid steer quick connect 72" bucket $20,900 OR L3940 HST R4's 724 skid steer quick connect 72" bucket $22,900 Pretty sure they are left over 07's. Going to add a BH90 for $7,900 Whatcha all think?

After days of sifting through lots of good info on TBN I decided to register and get some feedback. My situation: 87 acres, 1 mile driveway, 10 or 12 acres of bush-hogging and lots of cleanup after logging about 30 acres of mostly large mature white pine(funding for tractor and serious upgrade...

I've been a lurker for some time now. This makes me an official poster. I just traded up from a B7800 to a L3940. I needed more loader capacity to haul wood out of the woods to feed my outdoor wood burner. I also will be using it for food plotting for deer. (My attempt at being a gentleman...

I am looking to buy a L3940 Kubota, anyone have any words of wisdom. Thanks.

I had originally intended to get a GL3540 unit, but there were problems in getting a lot of options that I wanted on it. Parts were backordered with no eta of availability. My dealer, also sells New Holland, sat down and did a cost comparison of the two above units and they came within a...

I have been looking at various tractors (just online for now) and like the L3940. What is the price of this tractor with the LA724 loader and the backhoe? What is the difference between this and the L39? What are the capacities of the LA724 loader? I find it odd that Kubota doesn't list...

Hello to all, This my first post and please forgive me if this topic has been discussed before. I want a tractor to replace one that a relative has let me borrow many times. It is a NH 1920 with a Woods FEL and boxblade. Great tractor imho. But I want my own. At first I had my mind set on a...
