It's been a good while since we've had a good tractor thread.

why the fuck are MF135s so expensive these days?

I am looking for all purpose medium tractor and i've came up with Case XL 956/1056. I have experience with Case tractors, i've worked with Magnum 7120 for a long time but XL series is completely new to me. Is any good? Could you guys tell me if there is any specific stuff that is prone to breaking?

>>2857258
>medium tractor
>in line 6
what are you planning to do? What size fields and how wide are your tools?

>>2857266
Tools would be mostly 3,5 - 4 m wide. And fields would be mostly 2,5 to 4 ha max, i'll see, i plan on getting around 20 ha max and splitting it in half, 10 for cattle farming and other 10 for grain cultivation. I'd like to slap a front loader on it.

>medium tractor
Yeah, kind of. Compared in size to 7120 or JDs my neighbours roll in it seems closer to MTZ 1221 than to Magnum.

>>2857275
>3,5 - 4 m wide
>4 ha to 20 ha
jeez hobbyists really love pissing away money.
Mate who ever clowned you into that never heard of working economical.
You could easily size down to 2.5 - 3m and do everything with a 70-100 hp 4 cyl, which is also a better size for loader work, get everything done in nearly the identical time frame and save a shitton on consumables, tires and fuel. For reverence, full time Farmers here do between 100 and 400 ha (field shape depending) on 3m 180hp (4 ha heavy work per hour is easily doable) everything else is a pissing contest.
If i were in your Situation, trying to get all that done with just one tractor, i would probably go that rout and priorities getting air conditioning and a gearbox with full reverse gear set on steering column and a power shift group. basically what was state of the art of the mid 90s

I need this. Dragging logs around. Working in steep terrain.

>>2857532
same but with reverse control mainly for mowing.

Is it still possible to put custom firmware in a John Deere? Apparently that used to come from hackers in Ukraine but they're probably busy with other matters now. Has Deere used this as an opportunity to lock everything down unopposed?

>>2857535

Then this. Seat and controls can be rotated.

I just did a tour of the Farm Museum out in Fort Langley and they have an extremely impressive collection of old tractors. Diesel gas and even a few Steam and boilerless ones as well.

Case, Massey, Deere and a few others.

My dad worked for the Canadian government occasionally as a Russian translator and one of his jobs was to translate a farm equipment manuals into Russian so that peasants could understand these machines and not accidentally fill up a gas tank with water.

In my stuff I still have a couple of boxes of these old manuals that he had. Most of them are nearly new and have never been touched by Greasy hands. Also some really good repair guides for some of the rare ones.

>>2857559
John Deere half the once were stolen by the Russians and brick the firmware on them

>>2857291
Depending on situation you can quite often get bigger cultivation kit relatively cheaper than smaller. For example 5-furrow, semi-mounted reversibe ploughs are ofter cheaper than 4-furrow mounted ploughs. And talking about economics, the only thing matter is cost per hectare and it's usually smaller with bigger, used kit versus small, new one. However like you said you should look at the big pucture and make choices based on that, there's no definite answer of what kit is the right choice.

And for the tractor in question, I'd go for a 5100 or MX series Case rather than those old IH based models. Former are much nicer with loader thanks for reverse shuttle versus latter with ZF's expensive-as-hell-to-repair manual gearbox. Or if you live in Europe, CS/CVX-branded Cases are still somewhat hidden gems.

anyone have a good picture of where all the gears are?
there are 4 forward gears and one reverse, i know where they are but i dont know which forward gears are which

>>2861160
Nah not really, rarely are locks even needed. Might be because there recently was a logging, and the forestry machine sunk some wood from thinnings a feet down in the clay for traction and... buyoancy? Increased shear strength for the clay anyway, so the machine doesnt sink. Also without the chains it would be absolutely impossible. The trailer can also get drive train power from the tractor, but so far it hasnt been necessary. Say what you want about russians but Belarus tractors are absolutely indestructible.

>>2861188
>The trailer can also get drive train power from the tractor,
Pto power to an old truck axle?

>>2861191
Yeah, exactly. Grandfather built the trailer from an old truck, transmission included. As far as I'm aware most tractors from the late 70s didnt have drive power output to PTO or an air compressor, but somehow these absolute commie beasts do.

>>2861401
Yeah ground speed pto isn't that common.

im wanting something i can use on undeveloped land that will help clear it and build a house. i have a truck that can tow a gooseneck but no trailer. my thoughts:

case 580's - extremely cheap 2wd backhoes and seem to be everywhere - but i have to buy/rent a big ass trailer

some sort of skidsteer - they're all expensive and look like hell to work on, but retain value and dont need a 26' trailer to be hauled

we used a 35hp kubota to build a pole barn and do yard work, at times it felt small and we had to call someone else out here to dig anything up

are there more perspectives i should be pondering?

>>2865100
what's the terrain?

how often do you guys change or sharpen blades? I bought some generic ones off Amazon and after like 2 mows they're dented.

>>2865156
>after like 2 mows they're dented

i "sharpen" at most once a year, that means establish an edge and take my time deburring. mower blades are horrendous steel.
dents dont matter, another part of the blade will take the cut next revolution.

>>2862621
Build what you want to drive. In the US custom pulling and modified tractors are common. My respect to those fabricators (serious farmers can fix much of what they own)

https://www.farmshow.com/ showcases many self-built tractors, self-made or modded equipment and much more.

>>2865391
I wonder if kit tractors would become a thing?
Buy an engine, drivetrain, hydraulic pump and what other off the shelf components you'll need then Fabricate the chassis from specced steel stock and Viola a tractor that if needed you could customise during construction to suit you requirements.

>>2866928
tractors are consumables, no point in hyper specializing one if it will be worn out within 10 years anyway.
>just fix it bro
theres a million splined shafts, bearings, seals and welds that could all fail at the worst possible time making worn out gear a liability for anything but small scale hobbyist work. certain tasks have narrow time windows

>>2867193
>just get excited for new product and consume
Tractors are a tool, wear parts are consumables and the kit would allow you to make the tractor more or less complicated depending on your wants and needs.

>>2867236
>wear parts are consumables
at some point the whole frame and every cast is a worn part, Thats just how it is in an environment of abrasive dust and high dynamic loads.
Now either buy a new more fuel efficient one and write it off, or consoooooooom upwards of 10k yearly in obsolete spares for your lemon.

>>2867193
>>2867242
>t. never heard of caterpillar certified rebuild

>>2867257
>he thinks they do it for free

>>2867242
Why the fuck would I put bad parts into a custom tractor besides being cheap?

Although making a new bell housing, mounts and getting new accessories if unsupported by the new choice when an engine/transmission is eventually no longer supported would be a minor pain.

One of these is not like the others

>>2867242
>at some point the whole frame and every cast is a worn part, Thats just how it is in an environment of abrasive dust and high dynamic loads.
>Now either buy a new more fuel efficient one and write it off, or consoooooooom upwards of 10k yearly in obsolete spares for your lemon.

This is bullshit. A lot of the parts in a tractor are not wear items, and apart from a ridiculous catastrophic failure would be fine for multiple lifetimes of use. Some parts are definitely wear items and replaceable.

>>2868756
FS is way more entertaining than it has any right to be.

>>2868789
>peak male fantasy

>>2868764
>and apart from a ridiculous catastrophic failure
have you never heard of fatigue?
We've had every fail there is either ourself or in the village.
broken frame, worn spline on the hitch links, cracked rim, exploded planetary gearset, multiple inch thick shafts (especially on combines) juts shearing off along a rusty fault line, multiple 1000€ each pcb's breaking due to fatiqued solder joints (no chance fixing, thanks to epoxy coating)
And thats just the catastrophic breakdowns, not the expected seals, bearings and bushings.
Like the repair budged for our combine is literally 5k per year, above that trading it in for a newer would be paid off in 5 years, or cheaper to hire a contractor

you know what fucks farmers in the ass? the time window for a task like sowing, spraying pesticides or fertilizer is the same for everyone in ones area, no difference between doing just a single acre or 1000. Guess who can afford a week or two of breakdown time

If you're thinking about getting your first tractor, avoid anything with a DPF system. They are annoying af, they make your tractor anemic and they're expensive to delete.

>>2868924
yea rather get something ancient with mechanical fuel injection that blows 1/5th the diesel straight out of the pipe when slightly bogged down

>>2868927
Kubota, Massey and John Deere all have modern tractors with no DPF system

>>2868915
>broken frame, worn spline on the hitch links, cracked rim, exploded planetary gearset, multiple inch thick shafts (especially on combines) juts shearing off along a rusty fault line, multiple 1000€ each pcb's breaking due to fatiqued solder joints (no chance fixing, thanks to epoxy coating)
>And thats just the catastrophic breakdowns, not the expected seals, bearings and bushings.
Those are all easily replaceable parts except for maybe the cracked frame, and that is repairable. Maybe you just suck at maintenance?

New equipment is nice at times, but saying the old stuff is not useful and completely worn out when it needs a bit of service is peak consooooooooooomerism. Go get another loan from Mr. Shekelburg and buy that new tractor, so I can get a sweet deal on your old perfectly serviceable equipment...

>>2868957
bet you would also buy a 10k hour 900 series vario

>>2868957
>for maybe the cracked frame
The argument started from proposing a kit tractor made with a ladder chassis to allow multiple engines and transmission options so just get the stock the chassis was made from and make a new one.

I need an intro to tractors.
New land owner here, I have a few acers of a dead lake that's overgrowing with invasive cattails. It's a low spot that stays wet 8 months out of the year.
I want to cut them back a hundred feet, they are creeping into my backyard.

the ones ive seen reviewed are at least 45 years behind technology vise, i would keep that in mind when looking at prices

If they made tractors faster they could plant and harvest faster which is more efficient to get the products to market for just in time eating.

>which is more efficient
akshually wear and fuel consumption increases quadratic with speed, wide and slow is way more efficient than narrow and fast. not even talking about headland time loss

Smooth your field out

I was in PA last year just driving around. I was relatively deep in the mountains and saw a fuck ton of cars parked in this massive field. Stopped, bought a ticket, it was a farming expo. These farmers all brought their antique tractors, steam tractors, these massive grain cultivators from 200 years ago. Amish, white mountain dwellers, it was a wild place. If I had pics on this phone I'd upload them for you guys, you would get a kick out of what I saw. You farmers LOVE your machines.

I've been looking to buy a used tractor for tilling a garden and moving logs out of my woods for a little while and I'm torn between getting a Wheel Horse D200 and a Magnatrac Jr. with a loader bucket. The D200 doesn't come with a tiller but has a Cat 0 hitch and the Magnatrac doesn't have a rear pto at all but I figure I could plumb one in. Any thoughts or better options I should look into? I will say I'm not looking to get anything much bigger than these. Wouldn't have a place to store it.

>>2873201
If you want to keep that small then get both other wise would something the size of a grey Ferguson be too big?

>>2873201
>Anonymous


Small tractors are surprisingly capable but I absolutely wouldn't buy one without a loader already installed. It will change how you approach everything. Ironically the same could be said about having a proper, hydraulic 3 point hitch. Rear PTO is super handy too, I fabbed up a wood chipper that is so much fucking better than a standalone unit.

Another thing, try to buy a tractor as a package, ie get one that already has all the shit you need. Finding specific attachments for a tractor that is already 30 years old is a fucking hassle. Also, Cat 0 is a pain in the ass to work with. If I was buying again, I'd be looking for something hydrostatic, 4wd, and cat 1. Look on CL/FB for grandpa died kind of deals where the kids don't want anything to do with any of it.

That Magnatrac will rip the shit out of the ground with those tracks. Even my rubber tracked chinese mini ex does.

Opinions on Massey Ferguson?

>>2861188
how often do you have to use the directional/split brakes? I don't get into mud often, but every time I do I start playing the tokyo drift theme in my head while steering with the pedals

>>2857043 (OP)
We have a Mahindra 4540. Been a good tractor so far.

I've had a life goal of having a few acres and a tractor. I found a woman that shares that same life goal. I don't yet have a tractor, but we have 2 paid off houses. Wish me luck tractor bros, hopefully she and I will get there some day.

I have nothing to add other than a quick youtube video about the land speed records for tractors. Interesting enough because the narrator is good. Plus historical footage, photos, and how tractor tires were basically invented. I'm not affiliated with this channel in any way, just think its good content.

Reposting my stupid question here:

I want to buy a hobby tractor to move dirt piles and gravel around my yard. The idiots on FB want $20k for the tiniest shittiest 15 hp kubota or john deere. Meanwhile you can get giant machines for the same price. Specifically theres probably a dozen Case 580 backhoes for $20k, some of them have fairly low hours.

Is there any major pitfall to just buying a bigger tractor / loader / backhoe? Ive worked on cars and trucks pretty extensively but this would be my first heavy machinery

>>2874502
aside from turn radius and weight? i guess not.
On the flipside as a farm boy i dont understand the weird fascination with these tiny cabless asian shitboxes. They aint cheap, they offer the bare minimum features. Like for the price of pic i could right now buy a 100hp with ac, big boy hydraulics and electronic draft control.
If turn radius is of concern i would look for a 4 or better 3 cylinder without 4WD, it does make a big difference

>>2874645
and i forgot, small wheel diameter especially on a powered wheel is cancer for traction and ground pressure, that might be of concern if you dont want to turn your backyard into a mud pit

>>2874645
I can't speak on asian tractors, but I do have perspective on american compact utility tractors from mexico.
Hydrostatic transmission, once you use a good one you'll love it for loader work or tighter spaces, but there are only three ranges, one for driving down the road, one for loader work or mowing, and the last for anything going into the ground, which is extremely slow, but imagine the smoothest clutch you have ever felt and multiply the smoothness by ten and then imagine all that you have to do is touch one pedal to speed up, and let off to slow down. I have used the brakes maybe a handful of times, and it is all to prevent rolling down a pretty steep hill. The bad part is that you need to set the hand brake if you aren't dead level, otherwise it will slowly roll down the hill without you knowing.
The rops folds down so you can fit into tighter spaces, whereas a cab can't, but god damn when I'm mowing in the summer I want even an unconditioned cab. The dirt and dust is fucking ridiculous.
Really, they're a niche product for hobby farming or livestock operations, mainly poultry farming where the chicken huts are open enough for a tractor, but not tight enough to require a skid steer or when the user will need to use pto driven implements and doesn't want to use hydraulic implements on a skid steer.
As for turn radius, it turns about as tight as a 2wd tractor if you lightly use the split brake and it is out of 4wd. once you go into 4wd, the thing doesn't turn worth a shit unless you are in really thick mud.
Again, niche product for small acreages, and the lack of a cab when doing anything that creates dust is a nightmare, but they can be pretty capable and are extremely useful if you need them.

>>i could right now buy a 100hp with ac, big boy hydraulics and electronic draft control

Not that anon, but I can buy a 130ish hp 1086 for $9000 locally. Not electronic draft control but still it's a full size tractor. Can also buy a 966 for $7000 which is a 90hp tractor. And those are just two that I have been eyeballing lately because I'm an IH guy.

I bought a 4366 last year for $3000. Lol.

Small tractors have a high retard tax on them... Probably because they are easier to haul and fit into tight back yards much easier.

like a Massey Ferguson 87?

>>2874782
no exactly kek
but a self propelled version exists too and is super common on the used market.
The reason these are so cheap is only hobbyist with a hand full of acres can make use o them, the chute is not high enough for a modern tipping trailer.
The thing looks ancient but 90% of the innards are probably still present in a 2024 SDF combine, minus a meter width and the 3rd drum

>>2874783
Closest to a m66t we got is a Massey Ferguson sunshine (I saw an Allis Chalmers all crop going to my cousins wedding might look for that instead), only problem is that they're a stripper instead of an open front which limits it to what can the comb can pick up.

>>2874786
Oh and said comb is ~13 ft for broad ache work rather than for less than 40 hectares.

I bought a 1480 international combine for $3000 last year too. Only has around 1600 hours on it or something like that. Thinking about building it into a sprayer. Mount some wide as hell booms to the front of it and remove all the grain stuff. Relocate the engine and hydro pumps right behind the cab and install a 1000 gallon tank behind that over the rear axle... Just dunno if I really want to invest that much time into building it. Could have nabbed a john deere spray rig for $24 k with 90' booms and a stainless main tank. I dunno man, I don't like spraying much, but I'm going to have to do it more often, and my 30' boom 3 point sprayer is not much fun.

bumping

Can grab a 2470 case for $3150. Kinda tempted to. Has 9k hours on it and definitely needs some work. Might go fire it up and drive it around the lot to see how bad it really is. My gut instinct is saying the axles alone are worth more than that! Even if i threw a little dozer blade on the front and winch on the back and only used it for skidding trees it would be worth it.

>>2877221

Real jealous. Comfy etc.

can a telehandler work as a tractor
why are some of these so cheap
whats a general purpose workshop machine other than a forklift

>>2877881
Not sure what you mean by "work as a tractor". But telehandlers sometimes have auxiliary outputs for certain machinery, but telehandlers are basically designed to be forklifts with boom arms instead of driving right up to where the cargo is going. Spider lifts are a similar machine, but a little more versatile as well.

A skid-steer (wheels or tracks) can work as a fork lift and cart specific things around. The downside is they have very limited lift and aren't as suited to be a fork lift. The good thing is they can have a multitude of attachments on the front.

Most equipment like this is left outside, and hydraulic work is never cheap. Neither is diesel engine repairs as commonly found on these machines. Do you spend $20,000 repairing hydraulics and engine, or do you just buy a new unit for $40,000?

What are you needing for a regular work process?

>>2877881
>can a telehandler work as a tractor
>why are some of these so cheap

Give links to the cheap telehandlers! Around here they are more expensive than forklifts, skid steers, and tractors.

Tractor thread?
Tractor thread.

We are saving for a 3rd function now. We need to be able to run a auger and hydraulic driver, all skid steer. One problem I have run into is our hydraulic GPM is only 10GPM and finding a driver that is even close to that is not easy. We are not trying to drive 4 inch pipe or anything just tpost and maybe some 2 inch pipe.

ive got to replace the starter motor on a ferguson tef 20
do i need to drain the oil first?

>>2882311
no the starter should just unbolt off the bell housing

>>2882343
ok thanks. got worried when i saw some oil on one of the through going bolts

I thought a hobby tractor would be ideal for my property, I just want something with a bucket on the front to build jumps and be able to put a slasher on the back to cut 10 acres but the few videos I've seen they seem pretty gutless, do you need a 30hp at least?

>>2882508
that would be a leak

>>2882513
2.5 litre engine with at least 40 engine hp
with toque figures not being easy to find engine size is going to be the yard stick for draft work capacity.

>>2882517
on a second thought 30 draft horse power might be a bit big for 10 acres

>>2882513
equipment manufacturers provide a horsepower rating, look up what your slasher of choice and others in that size are rated for and buy something in that region. Yes you can fuck up equipment by greatly exceeding that rating (and being a retard).
Obviously the Equipment width has to match whatever track width and tire set you plan on running, hacking up grass youve driven over two times already is superb retarded, thats also why slashers are unknown here

I like the tractors with tracks

And although it may not look quite as cool.
One set of tracks is obviously the best possible tractor configuration, due to it having a turning radius of zero.
All other tractors bow before the king.

Just bought a 1944 Model B for $1K. Runs and drives good, will be a good project to repaint. Grabbing it this weekend, don’t have any decent pictures

Ag tractors. All I have is a 40hp utility tractor. But I need buckets, pallet forks/hay spears. Couldnt use and AG tractor even if I wanted to here in hill country.

>>2882513
25hp is fine if you're just going to be mowing and moving dirt around from time to time. You'll be limited on mower size but it may not matter depending on what the property is like.

those frame series jds should have never come with loaders. the wimpy front end just couldnt handle it then the trans would start having issues from people speed shifting fwd/rev doing loader work
and the hyd systems were shitshows that would leak internally and make the 3pt do wacky shit. even minor repair required a full 4 way case split. and the parking brake would get left on and get trashed along with the service brakes. and the electrical under the little hood in front of the gauges was always fucked. amd servicing anything on the front of the engine was a giant assache in tight quarters. plus people wouldnt get the side screens latched just right and theyd pop off and get driven over because the brakes were fucked
yah those 70s/80s jds sucked. the german build quality was a detriment because they far outlasted their welcome

>>2885705
I'm talking about using it in 19 foot gaps

I'm watching uncle Tony and he said that cars changed styles every 5 years.
I've noticed the same with tractors but in about 10 year increments starting in about 1945 for example with Massey Fergson following the evolution of the 35 and 65 starting in 1960 going into the 100 series in 1965 to 1975 then it gets hard to track lineage from ~1975 onward but the style stays about the same until the 90s

>>2886905
highly depending on the brand. deutz fahr for example didnt change their cab in 30 fucking year by now, only plastic trim

Update: I got a power king with a loader. Seems to be a good fit for what I need. Allegedly I can buy or make a rear pto for it later.

i have a little 670 thats been sitting for a while after it stopped working. was sort of a trade for some landscaping work i did but mechanical is not my thing

the bucket started lifting a bit slow and the next day it stopped lifting altogether. still starts and all that but the hydraulic isnt lifting. fluids seemed fine and no leaks. some sort of clog or what?

>>2894595
does the 3pt still lift?

>>2894600

no both are down. it was about a year ago but i remember it being kind of gradual. like it slowed down one day and then the next the lift crawled to a stop

>>2894610
look up on the geezer forums where to clean the suction screen on the pump pickup. its over on the right side below the floorboard on those i think. all the oil in the trans will dump out when you access it so be prepared
if that doesnt alive the issue it might be in the power beyond circuit on the 3pt rock shaft valve on the right rear behind the seat. theres an internal plug that diverts flow to the loader valve under a hex cap
the hydraulics on this little nip tractors are kinda funky at best and some iterations were never designed to have a loader so theres no good place in the system to grab hydraulic power without disrupting other features

>>2874681
I paid 12k for a 75hp with cab, ac, front loader, cassette tape deck, draft control, 2 remotes
He had a 110hp version of the same thing for 15k, but I didn't want that as it's turbo diesel and mine is NA, so less shit to maintain

It might help a smidge, however you can't see dick all in front of that tractor, I'm thinking about installing one of those school bus mirrors on the loader to see down when the bucket/fork is low.

Had a pusher RV for a while, but no truck so did such things. It was slow as shit tho, 300hp to move a bus and a trailer is not a lot.

>>2893334
Holy shit. Someone actually took my advice.

That little powerking looks fun as hell. You're gonna love having a loader on it. Make sure to have plenty of rear ballast on it for traction and balance. Should be able to scrounge up a used 3 point for one of those without too much trouble.

>>2896223

>>2896582
Oh it's been a great machine for the month or so I've had it so far. The tandem transmissions are a nice addition and someones already welded hooks to the bucket. It already has a cat 0 three point attached, just missing a pto to run a tiller with. If I get lucky, I might be able to snag a oem tiller for this which already has the drive shaft integrated. If I had one thing to complain about, it would probably be about how tight the clutch is. Anything less than to the floor and it'll pop a wheelie on you!

>>2896937

Maybe the hooks are inside the bucket?

Pic isn't mine specifically. Didn't take a pic yet of it but that one is almost one to one with what I got.
And with how cramp the garage is, its about as "real" as I got space for. And cash. Its basically a scut without the pto off the back and I got it at a fifth of the price.
Trust me, if I thought I could stuff a 9n in the garage I would.

No thats a Finnish Valmet, although built in Brazil. In the 60s Valmet was chosen by Brazil to build a domestic tractor factory, and quickly became the most used tractor in the country.

>>2887726
It was just intended to be a joke about the names;
The top rifle is a Valmet m78, the bottom an m88.

I have an 8000lb forklift as well. Caterpillar V80D The telehandler will do much better on rough terrain and muddy ground and will reach a lot higher (although at reduced capacity of course). Both are extremely handy, and you should get what suits your use-case scenario and what you can afford. I wouldn't want to live without my forklift, and I'm sure after I do a bit of work on the telehandler and get some use on it I won't want to live without it either.

I've harrowed, furrowed out, and rolled some fields. Still have more to do. Probably won't start ripping and disking anything until I know for damn sure the spring winds are over. Have one field I need to tear out and laserplane. Adding some extra ground to the bottom of that field to make the rows a bit longer.

>>2910242
Wait till you find out about 2 wheel tractors! They're very common in Asia because it's hard to move a regular tractor in a terraced rice paddy. A lot of walk behind equipment that is common in the US like mowers, brush hogs, and snowblowers are essentially two wheel tractors with the implement permanently attached. I'd be hesitant to use one like a tractor though, because it's likely the transmission was not built to haul heavy loads or rip up ground.

No experience with openaggps or opengrade, but do have a laserplane. Why not just get an old dual slope spectra precision setup and receiver and use that?

>>2910242
I'd say so, at least as a garden tractor. I've used one for tilling before and it does the job just fine.
The lack of steering brakes can make them a pain to direct but they are generally reliable and finding parts for them is
easier than most other tractors of their vintage.

hey guys. am i a tractor?

my parents had this snapper mower for a few years. they stopped using it and it sat for the last 3. I picked it up and got it running. it had issues with the breather and blowby.
now it runs fine.
i pressure washed every inch of it and lubed everything. it runs pretty good now, engine still surges a small bit. the fuel cap vent is broken, and the oil cap seal isnt holding, i need to replace both still.
belt and clutch are good, boots are good, blade is good.
it does need a new battery. how does the battery charge on this thing? there is nothing but a coil plug on this thing. sounds like it needs to be kept on a tickle charger when not used.

im thinking of selling it, i dont need it for anything.
what can I get from out? all examples I see online are around $200 and are in worse or non running conditions.

>>2912913
Eh while the power isn't made to go to the ground, lawn tractor Is the best name I can come up for for the rest of a mower divorced from the cutter deck.

Then again "lawn tractor" refers to tractor style ride on mowers, the name is to differentiate them from "garden tractors" which look the same with a belly mower although they can also pull a small plough.

Dont have much experience with tractors but I have a jd 650. Ran fine though the hydraulics had a leak so I fixed that but took 8 months to get to it. Wont start now. Had a replacement battery anyways so that isnt the issue. Before i start doing the troubleshooting circuit anyone have some thoughts? Starter? 5amp fuse is out but I cant imagine that is linked to it

>>2920925
can you jump the solenoid with a screwdriver and get the started
starter to roll?

>>2920925
I'm guessing you mean it won't even crank over. Make sure there isn't some neutral safety switch, seat switch, pto switch or emergency brake switch on or off that is keeping it from cranking.

Then do what >>2920927 said and make sure it is in neutral and pto off and try jumping the starter solenoid. If that doesnt work then the starter probably needs cleaning or rebuilt. You sometimes can tap on a starter that isn't working with a hammer to see if that gets it to spin over again...

>>2865156
They don't need to be super sharp (or even very sharp at all) unless you're running a mulching deck and blades on a golf-course quality lawn.
Just take the blade, lock it in a vise, hit it with a side grinder and either maintain what edge angle is there, or guess and throw a reasonably acute grind on it.
You can take brand new blades, grind the edges flat and they will still trim your average lawn as well as razor sharp ones.

>>2865319
>i "sharpen" at most once a year
I get around four months, but I use my rider like a brush hog. Just grind a 45 degree angle on it and back to making woodchips.

>>2877881
>why are some of these so cheap
If it's a reasonably modern tele, the reason it's cheap is because it's worn the fuck out, or has loads of problems. Usually crippling hydraulic leaks or stuff like hub drives that are mulched or transmissions that have shit the bed.

>>2920985
Check fuel lines and fittings all the way to the injection pump. Anywhere there is an elbow or restriction that can get clogged with crap. Had a couple check valves on my 8630 that got little bits of rubber stuck in them. Would run fine and pull decent but bog down when pulling and turning to the left. Never really smoked black smoke like it was fueling good when pulling. Finally found the clogged up fittings and got it running good and probably gained another 50 horses! Lol. For some reason it didn't have any filters before the lift pump so i added a cheap steel case inline fuel filter to keep the chunks out in the future.

Sometimes those primer pumps can leak and let your lift pump suck some air into the fuel stream. Pull apart your lift pump and check that the check valves are sealing good. I have re-built some of them by putting new bearing balls and re-seating the check valve seat with a countersink or some valve lapping compound on a countersunk screw head and running it with a drill.

>>2921771
>4 big cylinder and most likely a working hydraulic pump is worth 3k
I fully understand that buying parts piecemeal adds up quickly. A non running tractor or loader is worth barely more than scrap around here though unless you part it out and ship the parts across the country. Sounds like the engine on this does run and it came with some good tires and the shipping cost was figured in so that does bring the value up some. Also sounds like the tractor availability over there is more scarce, so he probably did pretty decent on the deal. I wouldn't have paid that much for something in that condition where I'm at because the amount of work it would need would quickly make it not worth it for me.

My family had 2 2 wheelers,
One was a hay sickle mower, I always liked this one because it looked like a front of Ferrari f1 car

Second one was like this, mostly used with to pull the dump cart. But also had tines and would be used to cultivate between rows in the vineyard because it was so narrow.

>>2924822
Notice trailer is powered, so when joined together this thing is a 4x4.
It's really smart way to help poorfags into tractoring

I smoked a bunch of crack and now I've been thinking about how I could design a 12ft drum shredder that mounts to the front of the blade of my dozer with quick attach pins on each side.
I was thinking like two 9in drums running parallel horizontal with 5.75ft sections for a big carrier bearing in the middle. Spinning opposed to each other.
Chain drive on each side goes up to a input shafts which connects via driveshafts to a engine/transmission unit out of a small front wheel drive car. Utilising it's automatic transmission, it should be fairly easy to use as a power unit for this.
If I figure out speed sensors on the drums, I can use the engine ecu's cruise control to set the drum speed and it should in theory maintain that and raise/lower the throttle to meet load demand.

Is it viable to use two horizontal drums with overlapping feet to obliterate thick brush? The drums would spin to eject the mulch towards the blade I guess to get the cutting action, so there would have to be sufficient space for that to work. Though I would be able to put the transmission in reverse if chaff builds up I think.

Like this?
I think thats a great idea anon, you should smoke some more and bust out the stick welder.

>>2924943
sober anon here, look for a forestry mulcher and look into getting that to attach to the blade if you don't want to remove it to put the mulcher on.
I think you wouldn’t want to make the rotating assembly yourself as that would then entail balancing it.

>balancing it
Wouldn't worry too much about balancing a flail.
They run unbalanced, you will lose a chain sooner or later and they are not exactly balanced while whacking brush.

great idea too bad it's been already done

Ohhh I love tractor posting, here's my mom and I with our Model G back in the 90's. When my parents bought their first property the tractor was included

My dad eventually sold they and put the money's towards this absolute unit. This 855 gets used daily for hauling, stump ripping, tree pulling, swamp digging, hole drilling, and it's still trucking along

nice upgrade for any tractor, easy connection like skid steer

Been looking around for a while for a smaller LP forklift to replace my electric Yale three wheeler.
Yesterday she followed me home.

Hyster S50C, three stage with sideshift.

those are heavy little bastards and you can still get almost every part for them
i hope the brakes work because theyre a whore to fix. i watched a guy peel the leanto off the back of his shop with one. it had super tall single mast and the leanto floor sloped away. he hooked the rear tires over the dropoff and couldnt get it jammed in fwd as it was rolling back. mast hooked the header and opened the old building up like a soup can. it was pretty comical after the dust settled

I've played around with a big bud mod in FS22. Seemed overkill for the implements in the game. Then again, that game does not simulate actual power requirements very well. That or physics.

Could someone bake another bread when this reaches page 10?

Yes, they work quite well, but the parking brake does not. It's a cable going into the transmission, haven't really looked into it yet.

>>2928036
call the hyster dealer and nicely ask for the parts book page scan for the brake. if you catch the right person they might even send you the section from the service manual too. having hard copies of both manuals is worth it if you plan to keep it at all
hyster used a shitty little crimped bead on the end of some of the parking brake cables that will pull off if you adjust the brake too tight with the handle. the genuine cables are better than the discount compatible ones. i brazed the last set i did for insurance after getting ratfucked by them before
liftpartswarehouse is good for parts

If they post a pic of the dataplate, I have a bunch of Hyster/Yale manuals.
