I was also impressed with the Boomer and if we buy a tractor for camp thats 
probably what we'll get.
As near as I can tell Mahindra are more expensive than JD...

Find someone who knows JDs in those sizes to do a PPI for you.  
Compression, compression, compression.  Wear on the loader pins...

So if the dude is asking $6k think I should offer $4.5? What about 
that 302 I posted? It looks rougher and does not appear to have a 
hood. And does not a brush hog with it like this one. If I was looking 
at one I’m not sure if I would know if it was a POS or not. Guess if 
everything goes up and down and does not leak it should be ok?

It has a diff Lock that you  stomp with your left heel to engage.  I 
skidded logs with the post hole digger on the 3 pt, chain to the T of 
the digger, balanced on rear wheels. stomp the diff lock and go.  It 
would skid huge logs in snow that way.  Way more than it shoulda been 
able to do.  32" dia red oaks 30-40 feet long.   One white oak log was 
almost 60' long, growing in a deep ravine.  Post hole digger was a 
safety to keep the tractor from flipping over backwards, climbing the 
ring gear.  It also allowed me to shift weight between front and back 
axles, so I could lift the front end, and get all the traction on the 
rear axle.   This was 1530, 1975 farm version of the same driveline.

So far I am leaning toward the JD 301, wonder it I could get it for 
$5k.  Check my other email for a JD 302.  How do you get fork 
attachments for these things?  With my current one that will be 
departing tomorrow if I go thru with it, it has a quick attach loader.




You can probably get the IH for less too.  It has been for sale a long 
time.   But, if I had the cash, I might go for the JD too.

So it looks like I’m fixing to sell my 3 year old JD which I have 
only put 42 hours on. I have literally only had it out of the barn 
maybe 3-4 times in the last year. Now I’m starting to think I don’t 
want to sell it but the old boy already has a loan going at his bank. 
I guess this way I will pay off the rest of my 0% loan to JD and have 
some cash left and not have a monthly payment on something I am not 
using that much. So that is why a while back I was talking about 
cheaper tractors. I think I still need on around. As we discussed 
before I prefer diesel and prefer one with a loader, but what about 
if I found one without a loader and added one later? Or would I be 
money ahead getting to whole thing at once. I think I want to spend 
about $4-5k on one if possible. Or I might just wait and get one 
later. Here are a few I have seen for sale. Some of these are more 
that I have to spend but might have to pony it up a bit. If anybody 
cares to look at these and let me know what you think. My JD was my 
first tractor and I know next to nothing about what might be a good 
deal or a POS


2656 International Tractor With Loader

https://fortsmith.craigslist.org/grd/d/2656-international-tractor/6502019384.html 



Good tractor, but the hydrostatic still scares me.  maybe other know 
more about the workings/cost to rebuild, but a clutch, pressure plate 
and throwout bearing are cheaper.  No concerns about gas for the few 
hours you use it.  do a formal or informal compression test.  That is 
a good loader.  Other than the hydrostat, a great tractor and fair price.


Mitsubishi Tractor

https://tulsa.craigslist.org/grd/d/mitsubishi-tractor/6543071684.html

About the same as what you have.  rode hard and put up wet. overpriced


FORD 4000 Tractor w/Front end loader

https://tulsa.craigslist.org/grd/d/ford-4000-tractor-front-end/6541897833.html 

Decent tractor, it or the IH should be big enough to pick up small to 
medium size MBs   To me, both it and the Mitsu are was overpriced.  
more like $2500-3500 tractors.


Good farm tractor

https://fayar.craigslist.org/grd/d/good-farm-tractor/6543546303.html
JD301 was the most popular backhoe tractor around 1970.  It is the 
same as a JD1530, with heavier front and rear axles and industrial 
(heavy) loader vs the farm loader.  Check a price guide, but I'd guess 
the price is pretty close.  You most likely can get your money out of 
it as long as the paint is decent anytime you want to sell it.  A JD 
is always the easiest to sell.


Kubota L235 4wd tractor with loader, box blade, and mower

https://littlerock.craigslist.org/grd/d/kubota-l235-4wd-tractor-with/6546328399.html 

Pretty much what you are selling with orange paint, and a lot less 
 tied up.   Good demand for Orange paint too... at resale time.   
not big enough to do more.

Front loader tractor

Industrial version of MF 35  Good tractor  Looks like it has new tires 
on the rear. $2000.  it is a good buy compared to most of the others, 
but only 35 HP.  Might lift a 201.  It is a contender.  Industrial 
loader is always better.


Ford 1910 4x4 Tractor 4x4

Industrial version of MF 35  Good tractor  Looks like it has new tires 
on the rear. $2000.  it is a good buy compared to most of the others, 
but only 35 HP.  Might lift a 201.  It is a contender.  Industrial 
loader is always better.

So it looks like I’m fixing to sell my 3 year old JD which I have only 
put 42 hours on. I have literally only had it out of the barn maybe 
3-4 times in the last year. Now I’m starting to think I don’t want to 
sell it but the old boy already has a loan going at his bank. I guess 
this way I will pay off the rest of my 0% loan to JD and have some 
cash left and not have a monthly payment on something I am not using 
that much. So that is why a while back I was talking about cheaper 
tractors. I think I still need on around. As we discussed before I 
prefer diesel and prefer one with a loader, but what about if I found 
one without a loader and added one later? Or would I be money ahead 
getting to whole thing at once. I think I want to spend about $4-5k on 
one if possible. Or I might just wait and get one later. Here are a 
few I have seen for sale. Some of these are more that I have to spend 
but might have to pony it up a bit. If anybody cares to look at these 
and let me know what you think. My JD was my first tractor and I know 
next to nothing about what might be a good deal or a POS


Makes sense.   You are better off to buy tractor and loader assembled.  
it will cost you more to put a loader on a tractor.  you'd pay at least 
$2500 for a loose loader and probably $500 to $1000 putting it on, 
unless it came off the same model of tractor.

Good farm tractor

https://fayar.craigslist.org/grd/d/good-farm-tractor/6543546303.html
JD 301 was the most popular backhoe in the early 70s.  This is an old 
puppy like the ford.  Check compression, etc.  It is pretty much the 
same as a 1530 JD, but with the industrial front end, loader and rear 
end.   That is all good for your use.  The 3 cyl idles with a lope, that

Looks like you're about right. I don't live in big farm country but I could 
find a couple 65hp class examples for around $7500.
Once Kaleb gets done with copart he won't need to bush hog anymore, there won't 
be any open space...

Re: [MBZ] Tractors

Plus the cost of keeping your own equipment...
Maintenance, repairs, storage. That was the part that really got me. Oh and for 
us we get to have a much better excavator. A dedicated tracked digger will 
perform better than one on the back of a small tractor particularly in its 
ability to get into small places.

It depends upon how many times you need to use it:

15000
- = 41.67
 360

So if you need to use it more than 41 times, it's cheaper to buy it.

The tractors I am talkin about set up with loader and forks could 
probably be had for 5-10K  I'd use a number of about $7500 for a good 
tractor with good paint, loader and a set of new long forks.   I have 
not looked at prices for years, so I may be off.  If Kaleb sez he is 
interested, I will start lookin.


So that would be about 20 days.   But it won't dig  a trench like the

It depends upon how many times you need to use it:

15000
- = 41.67
360

So if you need to use it more than 41 times, it's cheaper to buy it.

Re: [MBZ] Tractors

I like Curt's idea, probably far less $ over time, but you will have lost
the ability to use the equipment immediately and will have to wait or
schedule the work.

Maybe the compromise would be getting a purpose-built thing to do the most
common tasks (probably move / tow vehicles around the ranch) and then rent
the equipment to do the other things that can be scheduled (bush-hog,
trench digging, grading, etc).

Sounds to me like a Unimog that you can use to tow / pull / push would be
the ticket?  Find a rusty beat up example with no attachments but sound
engine / trans / brakes?

The commercial JD (yellow) had similar models - but I know some of
them got heavy duty front axle and support a front loader better
than the similar size "farm" tractors.  I don't know model
numbers, sorry.

Re: [MBZ] Tractors

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

Planetaries don't go bad often, but when they do, look out, especially 
if it says Cat on it.In another life, I sold parts for machines with 
planetaries.  I saw people who wrote checks for $100,000 to $150,000 
machines blanch at 2 things.  Not a crate engine, not an allison 
transmission, not a $1000 tire (in 1975) but at the cost of fixing a 
planetary and at buying a replacement belt drive for a dry spreader. 
(think salt truck) That belt drive was a 2" dia steel shaft with a 
roller driven by a worm drive, like a Braden winch, but on the scale of 
a 50,000 lb or 100,000 lb winch.  The bronze gear was about 10" diameter 
and weighed 30 or 40 lbs.  (and this was not cat equipment.  Add 50 to 
100% for the cat and their yellow paint.)


For Kaleb's use a full size farm tractor would let him pick up cars and 
move them around with a loader and forks.  A 4440 JD with MFD, loader 
and forks would allow him to grades driveways, move rock and dirt, pick 
up cars, mow, pull fence posts, dig post holes or drive posts with a 
auger or post driver.  They are also good for lifting shingles to the 
roof if he ahas to roof one of his houses.  THe MFD is not necessary, 
but with the weight of the car on a loader, it will make getting around 
easier at the cost of not being able to turn as tight as a wide front 
tractor with undriven wheels.  So far there is no large livestock on 
rancho costa plenny, so there is no need for a backhoe to bury 
carcasses.  A full size farm tractor will do everything I can imagine 
him needing to do, and the things that he has said he wants to do.   The 
current JD is nice but it was expensive and is too small to pick up and 
move whole cars to the back 40.  A full size JD does not have a 
planetary.  the final drive of full size farm tractors, whether JD, IH, 
Case, or white don't fail very often, even with 10 or 20,000 hours.  The 
transmissions are all most as rugged.  The IH 6 cyl engine is legendary 
for its longivity, on average, probably 50 % better than JD or more. 
(10-12,000 hours)  Many (probably most) IH tractors from the 70s have 
not been overhauled.  not so the JDs.  By now most 4340s and 4440s have 
had at least one overhaul.  A 4020 may have been overhauled 2 or 3 times 
if it has been in constant use.


I think  a midrange JD with a loader and lots of weight (barrels filled 
with concrete) on the 3 pt might pick up and move whole cars.  I had a 
5500, and i am 90% sure it could do the job if it had a heavy duty 
enough loader and rear weight to counterbalance.  It was 70hp (more than 
needed for Kaleb;s work) and had MFD.   It was a great tractor for my 
purpose (mowing and spraying).  The 5300-5500 are large frame yanmars, 
where Kaleb's current yanmar is  medium size for yanmar.  (All are a lot 
smaller than a real full size, JD, )  Everyone in farm country knows how 
to work on these models of JD because they are everywhere.  Not so the 
Yanmars painted green.  I don't know what the model is of the smallest 
of the JD 5000 series is, but they all should have the same frame and 
carrying capacity, so the critical thing about them is the capacity of 
the loader.  35 HP is probably enough but if you can get more for the 
same money then the HP is "free" (at the cost of fuel consumption).  For 
Kaleb's occasional use, the fuel consumption is not a big deal.


A JD 310 or higher industrial loader tractor would work too, but parts 
are scarce and expensive, except for the ones that are used on farm 
tractors too.


The thing is that  a real JD such as I suggested will run for thousands 
of hours, they are plentiful, and parts are all over.  Even FLAPS has 
parts for JD4020, 4340, 4440.  JD dealers are all over.  Other colors 
are less pervasive.  I think I may have seen a kioti dealer.  somewhere, 
a long time ago.  I drive by JD dealers all the time, all over the 
country.  CaseIH dealers are less pervasive, but all over the country.  
Other colors are hit and miss.  Kaleb already knows how to find his JD 
dealer and spend money there!

Curley,
What is the problem with planetarys? My Kioti DK45s has a planetary 
final drive and it looks (to me) much stronger than the single-gear 
final drives I see on most newer machines.

I always thought the common complaints on DynaHoes were that they were slow and 
the brakes always need fixing. (aside from all the joys of owning an old worn 
out backhoe, like sloppy linkage pins needing to be replaced)

I'd caution against that.  2 planetary axles and lots of old hydraulic 
hoses and lines, like the cat loader.   When you have to rebuild a 
planetary hub, you may decide just to let it rot in the back 40.  That's 
still a lot of money to throw away.

Re: [MBZ] Tractors

Those have repeated and expensive breakdowns.  Worn out cylinders 
Hydraulic hoses breaking, dumping gallons and gallons of oil  on the 
ground.  Price a tire before you buy one of those old lemons.


Buy a JD 4020, 4430 or 4440.  A rear tire on one of those is scary, but 
the price of a tire and mounting on the cat loader will give you heart 
failure.


A good JD of these models will maintain its value or increase in value.  
They are plentiful as F150s, and durable as all get out.

The problem with an old one is you'll have to end up working on it each time 
you use it.
Maybe it'd make more sense to sell yours and rent one when you need it? I can 
rent a small tracked excavator for $360/day delivered. We'd talked about buying 
a tractor with a backhoe but the backhoe is like $9,000 by itself...

Re: [MBZ] Tractors

[Scott Ritchey via Mercedes]

I would recommend an older model with a pre-tier IV engine (not common rail).  
The older engine is just like a 300D but with a much simplified IP.
Your Deere probably has the proprietary loader interface so your old loader 
attachments won't work on other brands.  So look for a new loader with the Skid 
Steer Quick Attach (SSQA) interface for buckets, forks, etc.  SSQA is pretty 
standard on all other brand.
All colors (brands) make good tractors and all make a few lemons.  I would 
recommend whatever brand has a good (smart, honest) dealer nearby.  They are 
all Asian-made these days.
Talk to neighbors for any word-of-mouth buys as well as online lists.
Scott

Re: [MBZ] Tractors

You'll find that tractors hold their value really well so while you'll get most 
of what you paid for yours to get something significantly cheaper it'll be 
REALLY old. Alternately sometimes you can get a real deal on stuff thats big. 
The smaller the tractor is the more valuable it is since the homestead crowd is 
into them. Something like a big payloader doesn't hold value as well but since 
it started as big money one thats from your lifetime will still tend to command 
a high price.
I'd like to have a loader for our farm and would normally go oil but I think 
we'll probably end up going new. Yours is probably still worth one or two 
thousand less than you paid for it. At that price I can't see why anybody would 
ever buy a used one but they do.

Re: [MBZ] Tractors

[Curley McLain via Mercedes]

4020 JD or 4430 or 4440 JD
As much as I like IH, they have more weight on the front axle and are 
great for heavy 3pt hitch work, but with more weight to the rear, the JD 
is better for loader work.


Why these 3 models?  the 4020 is the 300D (617) of the tractor world.  
The others are the most common updates of the 4020
Common = new and used parts readily available, used tractors readily 
available, and lotsa people who know how to work on them, tractor forums 
and more.
Searching for wone of thes is like searching for a shovy malibu  
thousands to choose from.

Find one from a retiring farmer who has taken good care of it.

Oh, and DON'T buy one from a stealer.

I have been thinking about selling my 2 year old John Deere 3032e that 
I do not use very often and buying a cheaper older tractor. Anybody 
got any suggestions on what to look for? I would prefer something with 
a front end loader that would be able to possibly lift the front or 
back of a 124 for example.

Re: [MBZ] Tractors

[Mitch Haley via Mercedes]

My dad could talk to you all day about this, or you could go to 
http://www.mytractorforum.com/

I used to really like the Massey Ferguson 165, it was my dad's first loader 
tractor when I was in high school. Not sure about the lift capacity though. 

Or you could get an old worn out articulated wheel loader and put 16' forks on 
it, Copart style.

Re: [MBZ] Tractors, WAS: Auto Trans Diagnosis A

[Curt Raymond]

I don't know what it is exactly, somebody painted it with a brush at one point 
so no badges are obvious. I haven't spent a ton of time on it, just a quick 
inspection.

That one should not be too hard.  On the old narrow front IH the only 
really safe way is to hang the front half from a chain hoist.  then 
we'd block up the rear half on a roller cart .  You roll the back 
half away from the front half.  on those the front half is so top 
heavy that trying to block it upresults in a dangerous situation.

Being a two banger, I assume it is a japanese tractor of some sort. 
kubota?  I saw a Satoh up for auction one time.  it was the size of a 
lawn tractor, but had full cat 1 3 point hitch.  I thought it would 
be excellent for a tiller, if I could find a small tiller for it.  I 
was not able to go on sale day.  I think it went cheap because the 
trans was locked up.


The nice thing about a tractor is you don't so much drop the trans 
as roll it backwards...

I may actually be doing this relatively soon. I think I've stumbled 
on to what may be an excellent deal on a small diesel tractor with a 
loader and a bad clutch. Whats actually bad about it is that it 
never disengages... He'd been living with it like that until the 
starter solenoid went bad at which point he brought it to the shop. 
I got brought in as a tractor expert (its a 
motorcycle/snowmobile/4wheeler kind of shop that will take on any 
work) and clucked my tongue at it appropriately. I explained the 
only way to know what the problem was would require splitting the 
tractor and taking a look around. So probably 4 hours of labor just 
to see... He's still deciding but I told him I'd give him a grand 
for it as it sits. The hydraulics all work, the 2cyl diesel starts 
super easy and runs strong. Could be a great deal...
