    Priefert head gate pics for Bigfoot

    The auto catch on mine works every time. Set it to the width you want and let them hit it. Mine doesn't always release great but I can get the rear door **** behind them and then open the head hate and re catch if needed. Not perfect but it works just fine. Just takes some getting used to.

    Tractor buying help

    It's actually one side only that was welded and it was a hairline crack that started. It's not the actual loader arm, I misspoke about that. My not sure what you call it but it's a thinner sheet of metal at the base of the left arm kind of covering a hinge where a pin is. I guess that's about...

    Tractor buying help

    I looked at the local NH 5030 today. Condition was pretty good. Overall was impressed with it. Only real issue I found was an oil leak but it appears to be s very slow one. Nothing was noticeable under where it was parked. He did tell me the loader had to be welded at the joints on both sides a...

    Tractor buying help

    I'm curious as to whether those hours are accurate or not--for all I know that thing might have been stuck the last 10 years.

    Tractor buying help

    I'm pretty sure he is being honest with me. The company I work for actually has his equipment insured. I don't have a clue what condition it's truly in but we've had it insured since 98. Hopefully it checks out. I talked about it with the tractor mechanic I've used and he had good things to say...

    Thanks guys, I'm no longer considering this one. I feel like it's way over priced after more research.

    Tractor buying help

    Thanks for the reply--I'm leaning towards the 5030 for the extra HP and the additional weight. It weights considerably more than the other tractor and a heck of a lot more than the Kubota I have been using to unload my hay. I feel like it will be plenty of tractor--its a one owner and has been...

    Tractor buying help

    I'm looking at a couple new holland tractors, TC 55DA (05 model) 2000 hrs with 4wd and a 5030 (98 model) 2400 hrs. I'm only using a tractor for hauling bigger round bales and bush hogging pasture. The hay I buy is heavy and my neighbors Kunitz 5100 struggles with them, it's just flat out not...

    Thanks, I actually have seen those listings already. It's in quite a bit better shape than those. Ok in no rush and just starting to look around. I'm in the north Alabama area of anyone know of a good tractor for sale. Only need 2wd, want 55 hp minimum and loader is a must. I don't want...

    Asking price is 11,500. I've not seen it yet, looks to be well taken care of in the pics. I need to talk with the mechanic I've used and get his opinion on repair, etc. thanks for the replies

    Forgot to add, comes with canopy and bush hog front end loader.

    Long 2610

    Comes with loader, roughly 2000 hours. 2wd-- what's it worth assuming good overall condition?

    Bumble bee bush hog

    Any opinions on these? I'm looking at a 7 footer that is pretty much new. I'm needing something in a bad way and everything used I'm finding is fit to be scrap iron. This one is in excellent condition for 1300. Thoughts?

    Slow cranking tractor

    Thanks for the info. Will this oil be ok for summer use in Alabama as well?

    Slow cranking tractor

    Thanks for the help guys, this is all new to me. Can anyone recommend what oil to run in it? I would prefer to run as thin as possible for my weather conditions. Going to get the oil changed out today.

    Slow cranking tractor

    Talked with the guy again--tractor came with glow plugs. They added the block heater later-- I'm not sure if either is working so that's where I'll start along with an oil change.

    Slow cranking tractor

    I'm assuming it has the block heater then. It also has an option when you turn the key to heat? It goes from off to acc to heat. The guy told me to let it sit on heat for 15-20 seconds before trying to crank so I'll try that and see what happens. Do the block heaters have replaceable parts on...

    Slow cranking tractor

    I don't know the difference in glow plugs and a block heater but you can plug this tractor in. I don't know if it is working or not but will check tonight.
