I recommend you go to JD website and compare the two and you decide. Is there a difference, yes sir but is the difference worth the price point to you? We can all give an opinion, but it is just that. It is better you go through it line by line as they allow you to on JD's website and you can...

It's not a bad tractor. Carburetor is the source of most problems people have with them followed by ignition issues. I agree Robert's will set it right and are what I would call carb specialists. Can't remember which one but some would replace the carb with a different one for better...

Very little, we run 2WD and don't really have a lot of problems with the front end. Replaced 3 hubs due to bearing failures but that is about it on the front ends. I by no means call my dad a maintenance guru as we run things till the end. When we get done with our trucks they are pretty much...

Fence, I agree those Dodges with 5.9s were great. We have one with 278k(2006) and another with around 320k(2004). Been pretty much trouble free and they had automatics. Replaced a torque converter on one transmission around 180k and that is it on the transmissions. That being said by all...

Good finds M-5. It is amazing what people put out to throw away. When I worked for the city I found our pushmower that way, milk crates for our canned goods, edger I fixed and made $10, and numerous other things. This is in the age of craigslist but people just want it gone now I guess.

I agree on the 4630, that is a nice rig.

Mudhog, Ran into this today. New Holland workmaster 55, nice looking rig with only 268hrs. No loader but I figure for the price and condition you could try and get him to price it with him adding it or find you one at your on pace. Woods makes a nice loader for this tractor that is quick attach...

I'd say that is on the upper end which is fine as long as it has been restored to great condition. If it is just a paint job and stickers covering up years of neglect move along. 5000s are good tractors. Only thing I've noticed that is an inherent problem on older Fords is power steering leaks...

I wouldn't be either Ken. Parts, service, and resale are my only problem around here. With the new facility in TN and their expansion into the U.S. these issues will get better with time.

I rescind my opinion, I didn't pay attention to the HP difference. I can't say which one I would choose as it goes against my green nature but it would be the other tractor, sadly. :( John Deere is slipping greatly in the small tractor market and Kubota is lapping it up. You can ask more for...

Based on what you have there I would go John Deere or Kubota. The Mahindra dealer near me keeps very little on the shelf and has to accumulate orders, unless you want to pay shipping, before submitting order on a stock order. No LS dealers close enough for me or enough in use around my area. I...

CF, Don't know how tractors are but I was told by a car salesman the best time to deal is at the end of the year and at the end of the month. May be totally different than tractors though. :2cents: OldCrow

I'd go with 20.8. Traction, height, and Speed will suffer with the smaller size. I'm with wbvs, it is a good long-term investment as long as you don't log a lot of road miles. That said always go with what you can afford. If you don't do much field work you don't really have to have firestones...

My wife drives a 2013 Town & Country and we really like it. Hauls kids like nobodies business and in style with a bunch of features that will give a lot of problems in the future. :D :( When we first got married I tried to talk her into a truck instead of a car thinking that the next upgrade...

Remember to be safe of course. Is the role cage wrapped? This is fresh on my mind as yesterday I came close to losing my eye pushing brush with the backhoe. Cut my eye lid and left me a nice shiner! :oops: I would make sure I was working it when I used it. Nothing about running a dozer is...

JMJ, They are good tractors. We have a 4430 powershift. Shifting issue is more than likely tied to cab mounts squatting due to age. This happens with every transmission option to some extent. I haven't heard of issues with the Quad Range and most people prefer them over the other two. I like...

BF, Hope everything works out. We had a IH 504 my Dad ran oiless for a while. The oil line that went to the gauge broke and he didn't notice it until the engine started knocking. Bottom end is all we did(4 years) on that tractor and it did fine until it burnt in a shop fire.

No doubt, everyone would in that situation. I'm not exempt from it either and bought a 52' Ford F100 to fix up on a persons word. Nothing worse than two things in my opinion: a thief and a liar. It's one of those lessons I learned from and went on and was thankful it wasn't a super expensive lesson.

New paint is hard to look past. It works on a lot of people and like Nesi I'm leary of anything old with new paint. No doubt most anyone who has been around equipment has been on the south end of a north bound horse.

I haven't seen that episode, that's a good one for sure. My favorite AG show is when Barney joins the Quoir. :lol:
