I usually just type the name if the tractor on which I'm seeking into my web browser. One of the responses is invariably the correct page on the Tractor Data website. If you just want to go to the site, try: TractorData.com - information on all makes and models of tractors

Thanks, l don’t know wher my mind was this morning. I’m going tomorrow to look at the 2955. I already know it needs an interior update for the cab - hope they are still available. It’s supposed to only have about 4700 original hours on it. John Deere has already been completely through the transmission, new clutch, PTO clutch,and several other things.

The cab on those has a bunch of common parts with a broad range of years of Deere. you can get everything you need for the cab refresh aftermarket no problem. Those are good, heavy built tractors.

Be sure to check hyd operation with hyd oil at operating temp with pto in both on & off position & hyd hi-lo in both speeds. I'm not fond of the clutch master/slave cylinder configuration. The clutch control cylinders are fine when operating but can be a pain if a problem arises. JD 50 & 55 series utility tractors wiring schematics resembles a spider web on models with cabs so be sure AC operates correctly. I think acquiring new cab interior will not be a problem

Thanks for all the replies, l passed on the trade as the 2955 was not in as good of shape as advertised. It wouldn’t stay in 4th & 8th gears without popping out. He said the rear of the cab needed to be shimmed to fix. I didn’t bite.
So on with my search for around an 80 HP PTO tractor not newer than 2013 (want to stay away from computers and emissions).

Look at 54xx series, 5410, 5420, 5425, or if not too big/expensive, the 6000 series, 6110, 6210, 6215, 6310

Thanks. I’m going to look at a M9540 & an Agco Allis 8765 some time this week. Both have less than 3000 hours.

I don’t know anything about a Agco Allis, are they a good brand???

 

[kwbretired]

I went looked at the Agco Allis the other day & it was in terrible shape, definitely mislead e in the description.
I since found a 2005 John Deere 5425 4x4 with loader with around 2200 actual hours. It is in excellent condition. The dealer gave me the name & phone number of the original owner which l called. He told me it was a very nice tractor & the only reason for trading was his wife wanted a buddy seat so she could ride with him.
Signed the papers yesterday & it should be deliverd Thursday or Friday. Can’t wait. Only bad thing is it’s too wet to do anything.
Thanks to Zebra5 for his recommendations on what tracors to look for.
