How heavy is heavy? Tractor makes generally publish what a given model is equipped to lift. When hydraulic systems gets overloaded relief valves open.

And they leak oil from every pore. The electrics are crap. But they are reliable, even if terribly crude. Operator comfort wasn't considered very long when the designers met.

Bigger pumps are worth more if you'll be powering lots of functions at once, e.g. a loader with a grapple.

I have a Milwaukee. It was a good purchase.

You are defeating the money you spent on inside duals. Inflate the radials to 8-10 lbs, if you hang bias tires on the outside you just defeat the radials. Just my opinion. Inflate your tires any way you want.

What will you do with this tractor?

A set of radial tires (single) will pull as well as any duals.

Last I knew, here, lime was $10/ton spread. Probably $12/ton now.

4020's are classic, but there are a lot of rich old farmers who had a 4020 as their first tractor and they sell for crazy prices.

I never used liquid, but I always assumed the flow would be more uniform and more consistent than dry fert. Liquid is more expensive, for sure. Unless you put a high value on liquid starter I'm doubting the price is really worth it.

Probably 70 miles to Shelbyville for me. "Needlers" sort of rings a bell, but I never did business with them. Every town used to have more than one machinery dealer but they're mostly gone now. Mega dealers every hundred miles or so it seems. My town had JD, IH, Ford and, I think, Oliver...

A magazine called Farm Industry News used to answer a lot of questions like this. Google them and you might get lucky.

Used prices are record high, because Ag has been in overdrive for several years. Plus, the price of new ones supports the price of used. This won't last forever, so don't place a bet that new will always be worth more and more. Look at what your per hour cost of use will be and whether that...

You have two ? and you need to seperate them, I think. If selling a tractor would improve your financial position I would say sell. Buy another cow, etc. Farmers love tractors and tend to get "machinery poor". I know a dealer who will rent me a tractor anytime, so that makes a difference...

Larry, I've never met a woman who knew the meaning of "Coast". On the gas or on the brakes. Yep.

I swear CB had a post here praising the Perkins engine in the Massey. I 2nd that, great reliable engines. I have some concerns about the front end of the 240 being heavy enough for a loader. If you are moving hay in the mud, I'd take the 4wd.

...but I'd buy one. Bet it is for sale soon. http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/08/02/re ... olice-say/

Man O man--are you sure you would'nt break out in hives? Oh, it's for a friend. Never mind. :lol:

Possibly, this tractor has a plug in the transmission for checking oil levels. Pull the plug, add oil until it runs out the hole and replace the plug. That's how a lot of older tractors did it--not sure about the IH 966.
