I have been trying to get a radio installed in my tractor, Due to space restrictions I have bought new gauge hole style radios with AM/FM bands (commonly installed on UTV and boats) all tested good on the FM band but none of them has a working AM radio. So far I have tried 4 different radio...

I need to purchase a new tractor and prefer new over used due to bad experience with a used tractor in the past. I need a cab due to tinnitus to protect hearing. I have a Yanmar 3110d today, 31 hp, about 26 pto hp, open station with loader and light weight at 3000 lbs I’ve encountered issues...

Has anyone had experience with Tractor Parts To Go out of Mobile Alabama? I used to always buy my parts from Hoye, but haven't needed anything since All States Ag Parts took over. I posted a thread about my YM1510, and I either need my IP rebuilt or get a new one. Having mine rebuilt will...

Hey gang, I am a first-time tractor owner and I need some advice. I am the first owner of a 2022 New Holland workmaster 75 with front-end loader (no cab, just ROPS, and a canopy). This is the first tractor that I have been responsible for repairs and maintenance on and I ran into some trouble...

Now that I have a 60hp HST tractor, I am thinking about selling my older New Holland TC40 and getting a new smaller tractor to go with my 60HP tractor. I am thinking about a 25-35HP tractor for around the immediate yard on my property. So far, from what I have looked at, I like the Kubota LX2620...

I’m taking my Kioti CX2510 HST open station on the road for the first time this weekend to my new undeveloped property. I’ll be doing some backhoe work and ditch clean out, some private gravel road maintenance with the land plane and some exploration. Not sure I’m equipped for much else, though...

Hey all, Quick question — anyone here using any kind of automated feedlot software to help track feeding schedules or tractor use? We’ve got tractors doing the usual — feed runs, manure, bedding — and started logging some of it through a system to see where we were losing time or doubling up...

I would like some input on whether I am making a smart choice or not. I think one tractor to do my chores would be better than my current set up of mowing with a zero turn and snowplowing with an ATV. Basically, downsize from 2 machines to 1. I mow 6 acres with a 61" zero turn mower (Ferris...

My 5211 won’t make a peep when pushing the ignition button. The battery is fully charged. Where do I start with diagnosing?

I have coolant in the transmission. Any help?

Like the title says, what makes a tractor a vintage machine? I've not seen that defined on any tractor forums. I have a JD 4020, 1967 model year, that makes it 58 years old, is it a vintage machine? Is a tractor an antique? The definition of a vintage automobile is one manufacture between 1919...

Hello, I'm totally new to this and I'm looking to purchase my first tractor. I have a 16acre hobby farm. The land is relatively flat with a pond. Plan to use the tractor to move pallets of feed, move round bail, clear brush and fallen trees, move/put in rock, etc. I also plan to use it to...

Much of Oklahoma caught fire yesterday. My shop burned pretty hot. Tractor was inside. It's covered in Black soot from plastic and vinyl burning. I did start the tractor but it sounds different. It's a new yanmar ym342 with 48 hours. I did call in a claim. Im going to ask adjuster to have it...

On my Kubota L3830, the battery is behind the headlights. To get to it you have to raise the hood. I'd like to put heavy duty 12 volt terminals on the outside, in front of the grill. It would make it much easier to jump-start the tractor, or to power a 12v transfer pump to fuel up. Maybe some...

I have a 2010 Bobcat CT450 cabbed tractor which is essentially, a re-badged Kioti DK45SE and I'm looking for a backhoe for it. No luck from Bobcat or Woods when looking up attachment for "Bobcat" tractor but am thinking there is probably a backhoe for the Kioti branded tractor. Anyone have any...

After being forced to sell my LS R4047 a couple years ago due to divorce my friend wants to sell it back to me. I have a Ram Dually diesel and a trailer just barely big enough for the tractor but there is a 5' brush hog, Everything Attachments grapple, Box blade, grader blade, stone rake and...

Tractor is new and the engine is stalling out if the brake is applied while tractor is in gear. Is this normal behavior? I wouldn’t expect it is but not seeing much in the manual about it. Sorry for the noob question, thanks in advance.

I have a Bobcat CT450 tractor which is re-badged Kioti DK45SE and need to replace the outside mirrors which are de-laminating and becoming somewhat useless. When I attempt to find the part (see attached photo) I keep getting the infamous "no longer available" note. Not surprising since I had a...

Hey TBN Fam, it's been a long while since I posted anything here. I got very busy and preoccupied with commercial real estate and couldn't find the time to discuss my hobby and love of tractors with you guys like I once did in the past. The time away has been good for me as I had an opportunity...

I am blessed to be able to park my Kioti in my fairly new shop. I built it with my tractor in mind. Have two opposing 9' doors on the long end of the 30X24 shop. My JD F1445 I keep under a covered shed. I'm wondering does it matter? My initial thought was to keep from sun/rain exposure to...

Hi, I am a returning member from a long time ago and need some advice on a tractor purchase. When I was a forum member last time, I had a small farm (13 acres) with horses. I purchased a new Kubota L2800 HST 4x4. It was a great tractor, and I kick myself for selling it, but life happens, and...

I would appreciate any wisdom offered. I have a 2020 Workmaster75, it has been in the dealership since 10-2024. They have not found the problem as of yet. I have contacted corperate and they are trying to help. problem is the dealership lost every expierenced tech on staff. the tractor has been...

Want to sell my diesel JD430 - am not using it anymore. IS a tough little BULL - will need some attention, but is a nice John Deere unit: has 60" mower and have the plow attachment. I bought for $3600 back in approx 2013(?) and am looking for $2200 OBO. In FAYETTE County, TX

I had VPN on. Turned off and no problem. Anyone know why Tractor Forum is down? Says page is not working.

Indeed it was.

Hello, I need to weld some hooks on my bucket on my 1705, do I need to unhook the battery before welding?

Ever wonder how many hours per year people put on their tractors? Ours are used mostly for small chores, snow, & landscaping - we don't do anymore mowing or field work. The newish Kubota's hour meter averages almost 100 hrs/year since 2008. The old one less than 50/year. It sure seems like more...

Hello, I am still looking for my first compact tractor (c 35 hp) and more viewings are coming up. A question which is now playing on my mind is the rear spool valves (as I think they are known) at the back above the three point hitch. How many does one need ideally? I was only looking for one...

Posted in Bobcat thread, but this is a generic engine question so placing here for more feedback. Long story short, we just went into a deep freeze and a snow storm, so the tractor was needed. Went to move the tractor into "position" by the driveway the day before, tractor was hard to start but...

I just picked up a 1943 CASE SI Airborne tractor. The VIN is 4711035 SI. I think that puts my build year at 1943. Can anyone confirm that? The instrument panel is Olive Drab, the rest of the tractor is painted in primer gray. Done by the former owner who began restoring it. It does not have...

Someone posted this in an antiques and collectibles page, and I told them I'd ask on here. He said it measures 40" long x 3-1/2" x 1-1/2". My thought is that it was for hanging some kind of advertising. Any ideas? Thanks!

My YM2500 has no brakes at all for the left wheel. The right side works ok, but I can press the left brake pedal with my foot as far as I want and I have no brakes. From looking at the parts breakdown, I’m pretty sure I can do this myself if I take my time. Hopefully, Fredricks will send me the...

Hi All, I am looking for a tractor here in Blighty (England). I am new to the world of tractors but have been looking for months so I have built up some useful knowledge about tractors in general. I only have a small equestrian place (not commercial) with c 12 acres of grazing land. I do not...

It seems I remember someone from my past who told me when you are done with the tractors hydraulics you should take the load off. Meaning drop them down to where they are not holding up pressures. I almost always (rarely forgetting) to drop the FEL down to the float mode, lower the 3 pt down...

Hi, looking for suggestions or experience with anyone who has or seen a traditional tractor converted down to 52” width or under. Already have a Kubota 2401 narrow but looking for another tractor to ad in maintenance to our 45 acres of Christmas trees. Must have a cab, 4WD and 45-60HP. I know I...

I'm often curious about what the actual air temperature is when I'm on the tractor. I tried putting a regular outdoor thermometer by the dash, but the sun always messed up the reading. I wonder if there is an automotive style thermometer that could be used, and where you would put it's sending...

Hello, this spreadsheet compares the compact tractor published specs. Made this upon making up a purchase decision. Tell me what brands you think I should add, I know I'm missing JD, LS, & Mahindra. Bad Boy & Rural King should also be added. Compact Tractor Specs

I know this has probably been beat to death on here but does OEM Tractor oil have something magical that Shell Rotella or other standard oils do not have? They are always more expensive and "specially formulated" for their diesel engine. What would happen if you put John Deere oil in Kubota...

I'm wondering if anyone out there has a service manual for a international 3616 front loader tractor. It's stupid you have to buy the manual online as a document, or a physical copy just to be able to fix your tractor. Information should be free.

https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/tractor-insurance-am-i-being-ripped-off.512345/ Since my dealer listed my tractor and FEL as two line items on the Bill of Sale, my insurance company (Equipment Insurance International EII) is adamant that they are only responsible for the value of...

I know most folks on here say they wouldn't buy a tractor from Rural King but for those that would you might find this interesting. I received a sale flier from RK by email today and noticed that they have a small add that says end of year sale of 10% off all models of tractors. I went to their...

I don't have a tractor shed yet. I do have a spot under a breezeway, but it puts the tractor at angle of about 15% (left to right) when parked there. It does keep it out of the rain. But wondering if there is any bad effects of it being parked in an unlevel position.

Have had a large sounder of hogs haunting my wild game feeder and dominating the entire area, so I've been needing to dissuade them, and send them to find another ranch besides mine. They have been at it awhile, keeping deer, turkey and ducks, etc. away. (Not the raccoons though... they seem...

Got my eye on a compact utility tractor in Iowa (18 hp). Don't want to buy it until I can find a reasonable, cross-country tractor hauler. Quotes I've gotten so far are pretty steep. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hi, I’ve done research but have not found a solution. 1998 John Deere 310SE backhoe with 4.5l (272ci) diesel engine. When mild temps , starts immediately. When cold, will hardly turn over and sometimes not start. Put battery charger on it and it shows batteries almost fully charged. Three...

I store my John Deere X-350 in an unheated, non-electricfied out building. I do not want to remove the battery from the tractor, I disconnected the positive battery cable. Did I do the correct cable or should I have disconnected the ground cable? Does it make a difference? Please advise...

Are the County line hoses any good? I busted a hose on M4800su's front end loader, tree shifted - my fault..... Funny / Sad - same unprotected hose I busted 15 years ago pushing logs into a fire. At least no fire and no flame thrower action this time. A handful of tractor shops in the...

I'm toying with the idea of getting rid of my 2022 Case IH 75C with cab/loader in favor of a simple open station tractor that is cheaper and with less electronics. I've got a CTL and excavator so the 75C only really pulls my mower at this point. So my brain has me thinking, what would you guys...

Taken the other week at a friends house for a small group meeting. I kept seeing them drive past the window from where I was sitting and had to capture the moment.

I went ahead and juiced the tires on my T574 TLB, taking it into the realm of 5,000# (before loader and backhoe). I own (prior to the tractor) a 7K (dual 3500# axle) equipment/utility trailer that I was thinking of trading up to a 10K (dual 5000# axle). The key question for me will (obviously)...

I remember as a kid, all the old tractors had a speed scale/chart as part of the tachometer. You looked at what gear you were in and looked for where the tachometer needle was on the chart. My Kubota L3800HST doesn't have one, which I assume most hydrostatic tractors don't. But what about a...

For the last several years, I have been managing my farm (about 140 acres of woods and 60 acres of fields) with a 50HP Mahindra 5035HST. I bought it as a kind of just-right sized option. Its heavy and fairly wide which helps on my hills. There is very little of the property that is flat. It...

Is that just a dumb idea? Paying to get it hauled to the dealer would get expensive, but I would do all the basic maintenance and repairs myself, on site. Some of these 75-100hp utility tractors I'm looking at are going to be 7-10,000lbs with a loader. Factor in a trailer (4,000lbs? at least)...

I currently have a very old 5' brush hog that I use with my 30 Hp Kubota L3130. I recently broke the shaft on the brush hog. The repair is likely more than the value of the mower. I'm looking at replacing it with a 6' brush hog. The question is: can the L3130 handle the larger size? I'm...
