    3020 Gasoline Tractor

    Quite some time ago, I put out a question on going through our 3020 gasoline powered tractor. Well, last summer it was torn into with mostly pleasant surprises. The last engine overhaul had occurred in the first half of the 1970's, with a new tach installed. This tach broke about 8 years ago...

    2182 Cub Cadet

    Last summer I purchased a 2182 (Cyclops?) Cub Cadet tractor. I fired it up this spring and used it to pull a yard drag. I have never had a Cub Cadet beforehand. I had a 318 Deere, which I traded for my 425 AWS about 7 years ago. Really like the 425 and it is what I use for most of my mowing...

    corn planting depth

    I found this topic of discussion to be rather intriguing. I would be very interested to find out what universities are researching and talking about this. I live and farm in southern Minnesota. I have been actively farming the family farm since 2006, while having some decision making roles on...

    3020 gas tractor

    I do recall this occurring on our 3010 several years ago. It was obvious this had occurred and the balancer assembly was rebuilt.

    3020 gas tractor

    The gas tractors also have the engine balancer. I did not ask, but will do so.

    My son got his first paycheck!

    I am proud when I see or hear about today's youth with those who are willing to work to earn a paycheck. My oldest daughter has a work ethic. The past two summers she worked 3 part time jobs to save up some money for the coming time spent in college. She will have her RN certificate...

    3020 gas tractor

    Some time back, I posted about having to tear into our 3020 gasoline powered tractor. I had asked questions, mostly in preparation for a hefty repair bill following an invasive procedure. I am happy to report a number of pleasant surprises. We pulled the head off and found the rocker arm...

    top tier gasoline

    Would have to agree on this topic on Top Tier gasoline. Just did a quick search on the topic and there are many more brands recognized as Top Tier, than when I came across the topic some time ago. A friend of mine used to come to the farm and help in the spring and fall. He was from a large...

    Quadrange vs TA

    I think it is going to somewhat depend upon the model tractor built. Thinking back to when I was in high school during the final years of IH, and in years following, a 1086 was a pretty durable tractor, while the four 1486 tractors in our neighborhood needed a zipper in the rear end due to the...

    Ford Ecoboost Engines

    I tend to agree the small displacement turbo engine is here to stay. I just bought a VW Passat last year and I am highly impressed with the fuel economy and the power of the engine in that car. I just cannot help but wonder about it in trucks, which can and are used for hauling or towing heavy...

    Ford Ecoboost Engines

    I believe we are into the 8th (or perhaps 9th) year of the Ford EcoBoost engines. I have talked with people who have them or have had them. Some of the common comments I pick up on is the EcoBoost feature does seem to deliver better mileage over the V8 engine offerings they had in their prior...

    Lawn mower vs Lawn Tractor- Recommendations?

    I would go along with what others have shared. Probably don't need the "tractor" for mowing, but need it for moving snow. I have 5.5 acres, of which I mow around 2.5 acres. The rest is gravel farmyard and buildings. I have a 425 John Deere lawn and garden tractor for mowing. It is an all...

    John Deere 7700

    I believe a 7700 may allow something as small as a 443 and up to a 843 corn head. I liked ours with a 643 head. It was a nice match I. Our conditions with up to 180 BPA corn when we had it on the farm. We also had a grain tank extension made by Hiniker. The older 643 heads are relatively...

    Best John Deere 4450D starter replacement

    I agree on the Nippendenso starter. Upgraded on a 4320 and didn't regret it.
