Tractors - Post them.

DEF sensor went bad, a manifold in the hydraulic system was bad and it would dive for ditches when you got over 30mph, the roof leaks and ruins the radio, replaced 2 hydraulic remotes, and a bunch of little things. Its one of the early ones so its bound to have more issues. I guess the newer ones are running better but I still would like a 933 Fendt.


This tractor is really efficient. I hauled manure against my uncles MX255 Magnum with our DT275B Agco both with 6350 gallon tankers, running the same route. The MX255 has a peak PTO hp of 241hp, our DT275B has a peak PTO HP of 319hp. I completed the round trip in 25 minutes while the MX255 completed the trip in 37 minutes. I used 7.6 Gallons per hour of fuel, and the MX255 used over 10.

Goes to show just how effeicient this tractor is. I have red tractors in my blood, but would never buy one.

That is amazing!! Gotta love SISU power. From what I hear, all of the issues have been taken care of on the newer models.

Did you have that dyno'd??

 

[durallymax]

no those are all numbers from the nebraska tractor test. I really wish they would run the newer Fendts there so we could see if the Duetz is more/less efficient than the SISU

I have some garden tractor pics I haven't found the real tractor pics yet. The deutz-allis I bought new in 89. Its a 1920 ultima. It was a pos right from new. Had to be a monday or friday machine. The engine[20 hp kohler magnum] was totally done with only 700 hours. Many other problems along the way also. I did save the 60" mower deck for the agco=allis that replaced it.
I bought the 2 john deere 214s and the craftsman for $100.:thumbsup: None of them ran. Sold the john deeres for $400 and the craftsman for $150 without fixing any of them.:hihi:
I never got any pics of my first real tractor. It was a IH 300 utility with a wagner loader.I traded that for a IH 574. I have pics of that. I sold the 574 a few years ago. I now have a John Deere 4300 Compact tractor 30 hp, hydro,fwa,with a 72"belly mower deck , loader, backhoe, 72" roto-tiller, 8ft keewanee grader blade and a MF box blade. A truely outstanding machine. I have no pics of it yet . I also have a Agco=Allis 1920H 20 hp garden tractor with the 60" mower deck. No pics of that yet either.

300 utilities are well respected units. my old man doesnt like many IH tractors himself, but has tried to buy one a time or two at auction, but always got outbid (half everyone else loving them, half him being a cheapa$$! )

John Deere 4300 HST compact tractor

I got some pics of my John Deere 4300 compact tractor. It has: Yanmar 30 hp 3cyl n/a diesel engine, 3 range hydrostatic transmission, cat. 1 -3 point hitch, 25? gpm hydraulic pump, power steering. 4 wheel drive[front wheel assist], R4 industrial tires. power beyond hydraulics[to run the backhoe]. 1 rear hydraulic out put [for mower lift] and 2 sets of mid hydraulic outputs for the loader. Engine and hydraulic heaters.
The attachments I have for it are: John Deere 430 loader[lifts 2500 lbs to 5 ft] 72" dirt bucket, 72" high volume bucket[snow] and HD pallet forks attachment, John Deere 48? backhoe with 24" HD bucket w/teeth [max depth 8ft 6 in], John Deere 72" commercial belly mount mower deck, Kewannee 8' adjustable [offset and tilt] grader blade, 72" King Kutter gear drive roto-tiller, MF 72" industrial box blade w/ ripper teeth and a crappy Badger 3 point 72" single stage snow blower. I bought this tractor new in the fall of 2001. The only problem with the tractor was the instrument cluster. It kept fogging up inside. It was replaced free by John Deere 3 times. It has somewhere around 2000 hours on it now. It is the perfect machine for my place. I own the buildings and 7+ acres off of a farm.

 

[WilliamBos]

Nice tractor!!

Hydraulic flow is 12.9gpm, still very respectable.

Yea, I guessed at the gpm. I know it was double that of a comparable kobota at the time. I run around 500 hours a year on a 30 hp 3030 kobota at work. Lightweight pos. The kabota is basicly a garden tractor with a 30hp motor and big tires. They had 30 hp cub cadets before they went to kabota. The cubs were heavier but still a pos. Both the kabotas and cubs were pretty used up by the time they had 1000 hours on them.

Nice tractor.
Must be cold on it though, brrr ,no cab

 

[bk95td]

Cab was another $4000. I figured I could buy the best snowmobile suit for alot less than that. My driveway is 1/4 mile long. I pay the township to plow that with the grader or truck.

[schiker]

Thanks yeah I got the cab so my boys could ride with me while I bush hog 2-1/2 and 3-1/2 years old. I could only putt around with them on the Ford.

5603 JD ~805 hours Its in pretty nice shape bucket is straight and only one chip/crack in a fender.
2000/3000 Ford - Broken meter ???? 5000 plus I imagine if not 8000 plus. I bought it used 12 +/- years ago and its been beat on rode hard and put up wet but it was all I could afford at the time. I would not finance anything when I was single. The wife broke me of that.

Lawn Tractor ? 500 hours quick guesstimate

 

[durallymax]

My cousin took over my uncles part of the farm and specializes in most of the large scale farming (obviously). He is 22 and is doing pretty good getting their part of the family farm out of a huge amount of debt after a lack of good management decisions. My dad has been managing the custom hay business of the farm and ranching. Now that I am gradating college with a BS in Crop and Soil Science and Minor in Animal Science, I am going to be taking over the hay and farming for my dad and he is going to concentate on the ranch and a Equine therapy for disabled children. He will still be involved in the hay business since his experience is irreplaceable. I plan to expand the hay business to possibly some custom silage for a local feed lot (in the beginning phases). There is alot of irrigation in my area and potential for silage and hay production is growing. The main problem in all areas of our farm is finding good/reliable workers. Driving a tractor can be taught and operator skills can be developed but finding people in my generation that will do it is hard, I won't lie there are alot of lazy people my age and younger. I am 23 BTW.

A side project I have been crunching numbers for is a Biodiesel Processing facility with the growing popularity of crops like Canola and Sesame for oil production and their ability to with stand droughts that are common to the non irrigated parts of NW Ok.

I am also a Pioneer Hybrid seed sales man and started my own Pioneer Crop Consulting branch.

I think I will stay busy :hihi:

 

[bison]

Good for you,sounds like you're staying out of trouble being busy as you are.

 

[blizzardplowman]

A new "tool" followed me home today Brand new rubber and warranty to boot, I can't wait get the tillage tools out of the shed. We got rid of our old but trusty 7150 for a MX285.

 

[btfarm]

Nice Marty! Gettin' a bit soft and greasy to be disking now though.

 

[bison]

Man,...bison ranching sure looks favorable to that stubble jumping with all that expensive equipment if you ask me.
