(OP) User ID: 1338386 United States 02/22/2020 01:37 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My Dad had a John Deere. He LOVED that thing. He had a thick John Deere book that he used to repair things on it when something went wrong. Quoting: Anonymous Girl When my parents moved down here, he left it behind. He gave it to my uncle (who bought their house). I have a feeling I’m going to have a similar affection for this machine :) I’m sure he misses it dearly. |

I was actually quite upset when he left it behind. I knew that because of his health issues, and the fact that they were down-sizing their yard, he wouldn't be able to use it, but still. Was that pun intentional? |

I use it for property upkeep. Quoting: Crabapple What are you using your tractor for? Watch out with that wood chipper... Don’t piss off the wife before using it! Heavy brush hogging, excavating stuff around my pond, rototilling a MX track. My lot was overgrown for 15 years or so. After that (or I) gets old I’ll be clearing the area and converting it to a horse farm to sell to some sucker with too much money. Post hole auger for fence posts... till & plant pasture + whatever the dirt area they practice horse stuff on is called |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 75868206 Canada 02/22/2020 02:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Descent unit made in England in IH factory. The Perkins 3cyl is a good workhorse like most all Perkins. You will want to skid the 650 cca and put in a good bat, as these starters draw lots of AMPS in cold weather and it will kill your starter cranking with low amps. put in a 1200 cca Optima, and you'll never have a problem starting it even in as low as -30c. differential hydraulic wet disc, you need to keep a good eye on DIFF fluid contamination and how much water it has absorbed. Id drain it and refill it ASAP, as they are always over looked. Enjoy your new Trac |

Would love to hear anything else you have to add. I showed up unannounced to check it out. Verified it was cold (34 deg F out) and the damn thing fired up instantly. I was impressed. |

The Kubotas big enough for what I need were outta my league So what you doing/planning to do with it? I have 15.5 acres of horse property at 7500 feet in the Northern Colorado Rockies. I got the bucket, backhoe, swivel blade, box blade, rotary mower and front snow plow. Can't maintain this property without all of them. And I have plans for a front hydraulic powered snow blower, rotary tiller and rake. If we live that long!? live and let die |
