    dozer

    We're still running an IH TD7-E that Gramps bought brand new in 1985 (excavating contractors). The machine was recently serviced and is by far the best 30 year old machine you'll see working today. If you can afford it, look into an excavator with a dozer blade for the best of both worlds...

    You kiddin me??

    So I'm in the market for a transmission shield for the JD 1530 (part #: R48684) I got last week. I'm seeing them go for $500 and up! are you kidding me? Tell me why I shouldn't email these people and tell them what they can do with their shields. I will be paying a visit to my local fabricator...

    Bought a JD 1530

    This week I purchased a JD 1530 from the local dealer. I'm pretty excited. The price was fair and with the exception of a small leak from one of the 3ph arms, play in the steering and worn paint, I'm hoping to have good luck this tractor. It was a one owner (college) and came with a pretty...

    JD 1530 thoughts??

    Last week you guys gave me some VERY insightful information on a JD 2010 tractor. It appears you have saved me a number of headaches in addition to a lot of money. Thank you. There is a JD 1530 diesel for sale here by a local dealer for around $6,000. Overall appearance is average, I have not...

    John Deere 2010 thoughts??

    That's a big help. With two still in diapers, the last thing I need is to buy a money pit. Thank you very much. Is it safe to say that the 2020s were similar? or did they come a ways in the next model?

    John Deere 2010 thoughts??

    Came across a JD 2010 for sale, gas job. Pics look good, but, we know pictures can hide a thousand sins. Does anyone have experience or is familiar with these tractors? I understand that the 3010s and 4010s had issues with the pto shafts, they didn't last long as they were only made from...

    2 cents on a Case IH 495??

    I posted this inquiry in the Case section, but was redirected to IH, I figured I'd just post in the general discussion. A local dealer has a Case IH 495 for sale, asking $5,500. No loader, two remotes, engine is dry, almost new front tires, rear tires 50% at best. It looks like a well...

    Thoughts on Case IH 495??

    A local used dealer has a Case IH 495 tractor for sale, seems like a reasonable price too ($5,500.00). Anyone have any insight on these tractors? A quick glance when I stopped everything looked real clean and the engine was dry. Any common issues with these tractors? Anything I should look...

    Omaha Beach, Normandy, France

    Thank you for sharing. My Grandfather was there, God rest his soul passed in 2008. I remember he referred to it as "The invasion". He"d say "when we made the invasion ... ". The procedure was to spend 3 months on a little landing craft out at sea before landing. I couldn"t imagine. That...

    Japanese beetles

    So far this year they have completely ruined my young cherry tree. They've put about a thousand holes in every leave while turning each one brown. Will the tree come back next year or should I just rip it out now? Now they are starting in on my apple tree. Last nigjt i shook the tree and it was...

    Ford 600s

    We have a 1959 601 workmaster, its red. We use it for teddering and raking hay, and bushogging. I would recommend this tractor. We work in heavy machinery and would never choose good rubber over a drifting lift, or a bandaged up engine. We ween very often over the years that a quick coat of...

    So, an excavating co. is wanting some of my dirt...

    I"d say that"s about right. We"re involved in excavating, and that"s about what we would pay. Perhaps $2-3 for coarse gravel or nice unscreened loam. But just fill, yea $1 per yard is right, especially if they are loading with their equipment. In Mass there are mostly ten-wheelers (tandems)...
