In the past I have used flat needle bearings and hardened race washers under the front axle to improve steering, would this be possible to do on my small Kubot that has a FEL? From what I've read adding power steering is more than I would want to undertake

Hello all, I have been looking at smaller 25 hp tractors to go with my big tractor for close to the house. A lot of them have aluminum housing in the rear. Besides the lighter weight, has anyone actually broke the aluminum housing or had any issues at all with it? Is it something that should...

I have a pair of Kubota tractors that don't get frequent use so, now that their batteries are at the "end of life", I am thinking about replacements. I know vibration from the motor and field can knock the plates over in car batteries and kill them, so, I was thinking about AGM options on the...

Todays farm tractors are packed with electronics and gadgets. This is the dash of a Massey Ferguson today:

I have a set of 4 1/2” Bora rear wheel spacers for a 15 series TYM or Branson tractor. They are extremely well made and include all the hardware. I ended up not needing these on the new tractor. These add a lot of stability to the tractor especially on slopes. I’m located in Alaska but willing...

Im looking at selective logging compact ATV-like tractor. Typical cable skidders are all oversized for my terrain. Anyone have an idea where these isodiametric European designs can be found? And why they are not prominent in North America? They are ideal for maneuvering through dense, rough...

It appears we are soon going to have tariffs of 20% and more on anything imported from anywhere. What does this mean for us here at TBN? Unless tractors, accessories, attachments and parts get an exemption ("necessary services" or something), prices of imported tractors are going to go up by...

Looks like we have another new player in the compact tractor market. https://www.captainagri.ca/en/ My ATV dealer was selling Chinese Lovol tractors and he seems to have ditched them and took on these Captain's now. I wonder if these are rebranded or their own made-in-China brand? Curious to...

So I've changed up my search a bit after some chats with the wife to free up some funds for other needs around the farm.

Hello, I have a 10 acre parcel in coastal BC with about 1/2 the acreage cleared. The 5 cleared acres quickly overgrows with brambles (blackberries), broom, and heavy grass. The land is undulating and gently sloped. There is almost no flat "lawn". My needs are primarily for brush and heavy grass...

This seems like a dirty move, not that other companies haven't done this, but there are some other things they have done other than that in the video that may tick you off. I was also wondering if anyone has a different perspective than what Chickanic says:

We had something over 27 inches of rain in about ten days time. The UPS lady told me she got her truck stuck in mud three times. You know what else she told me? “I thank the Lord for good people with tractors. I haven’t had to call a tow truck yet” Yep, sometimes I think the world is...

Seeing the post this morning about the decline of the new tractor market made me think. What is the expected deprecation of used tractors? How much per year or per hour can you expect your equipment to lose in sale value on the used market? I'm sure it matters if you are picking up a JD or...
