Hay Tractor Poll

[pricefarm]

Does the AC work good on the 3930? THose make a nice tractor for the mountain/valley land around here.

Yes it does very good. It was a VDOT tractor we bought it at the surplus action about 4 years ago. My dad painted it blue because it was orange. It's a pretty good tractor but could use alittle more power.

Must have been a heck of a job to paint it and not have orange showing all over the place!

There's still alittle orange that shows up every now and again lol

We are all green right now, but I think that might change.
New holland salesman has been by several times. I'll see just how bad they want our business this fall when it's time to trade in the 7230's.

Add Ford and NH and you come up with 16, #2 behind the beloved green. I have 3 and 2 Bransons and use all 5 when doing mine.....work alone and don't like changing implements especially balers and cutters.

John Deere 4430 and John Deere 557 baler. 44s are hands down the best haying tractor one could own. Cheap enough to be affordable, easy to work on, no bullshyt buttons to go bad (levers always work), enough operator comforts to be comfortable all day and a nice looking 44 is an eye catcher.

And they sound good with a straight pipe, although the older I get the more I appreciate a muffler after 8 hours of mowing.

IH 966 on discbine
Kubota 4800 on tedder
Mahindra 4035 on rotary rake
Kubota M100X on baler
Kubota L39 to load bales
Kubota 4900 on wrapper

I really like the Kubotas for haying. Lite enough to get around easily buy plenty of power to run my small equipment.

I'm very pleased with Kubota tractors, wish I'd of bought one instead of my JD years ago. Everyone bad talked how light the Kubota tractor is, maybe that's why they don't break down?

You're talking my language now. My fondest memories as a kid were smacking my head off the back window every time grandpa would shift the 4430.
