computers in tractors

Or just buy the older models without computers and run them forever. Look how many 40 and 50 yr old tractors are running around.

We are right at the cusp where tractors USED to be easy to maintain with "common" tools and knowledge. Like cars in the 1970's.

Exactly! I am very pleased with my little tractor, always starts, electricity is only for starter, lights and a few caution lights and gauges such as oil pressure and water temp. No fancy tools required to maintain it.

I agree that all the concerns about any computer interface are WAY overblown.

A computer doesn't do anything it's not TOLD to do by its' program/programmer.

In short, it's more an aid than anything else.

Our problem is learning how to read what the computer is telling "Big Brother".
So that we can discern what is needed. Rather than depend on a dealer/mechanic with
an eye on our {What we think is} wallet.

Oh!! How I hate it when I have trust anyone with my equipment attached to my wallet.

But I've found that, at least in my corner of the south, most dealers are there to help us.
Thieves within the dealer framework don't last long.

To that end, where ever possible, I personally do all the work I possibly can on all of my own equipment.

How far back should we be looking for a used tractor without a computer?

I'm still learning.
I guess an 8N or a L2501 would be considered a compact, and smaller is subcompact?
I want an 8N size tractor.

For Kubota, the BX series are sub compact, B's and L's are compact tractors, and the various M's cover the larger compacts well into the Ag tractors.
The line between compact and Ag used to be 60hp, but who knows what the current nomenclature is.

Is this too many computers in a tractor? This is the cab of a CaseIH AFS Connect Steiger Series tractor!
