    Tractor for Hilly Terrain

    We were talking about no-tilling hay fields. I am working on getting a 9 acre pasture into hay. Then once I have that established I could get up to 20 acres of my 80 into hay and forage.

    Tractor for Hilly Terrain

    Interestingly, I just talked to a man in my area this afternoon that has good success without doing any tilling. He just sprays everything off, mows it , and no-till drills. That might be the way to go.

    Thanks for the input! Yeah, ballast and ROP is definitely a must in my part of the world. I wouldn't even consider going without either.

    Thank you for the input! I actually saw a Massey 165 for sale the other day, but didn't know much about them.

    Tractor for Hilly Terrain

    -Diesel -Not really, as long as it's reliable and easy to work on. I've always admired International Harvester, but owned a Ford. -Live PTO preferred, TA doesn't really matter to me. It would be nice to have a foot throttle, but it's not a requirement. I've always found a foot throttle to be...

    Tractor for Hilly Terrain

    My neighbors are cattle and horse operations and are using mostly newer JDs and NHs. I can't really justify the cost of a newer tractor.

    Tractor for Hilly Terrain

    I have been working on a pasture restoration project and am wanting a bigger tractor than what I have now. I currently have an early '80s Ford 2110 (Shibaura built), 38 hp. I mow with it and pull a 2 bottom plow and 6 foot mounted disk. Those implements aren't cutting it at this point. I...

    You're not kidding about rocks! You can't dig a hole around here without a backhoe. You won't believe this though, but I turned over a 1 acre test area last weekend in the corner of an old pasture and there wasn't a single rock! I've lived here my whole life and I've never seen anything like it.

    Yep, I'm in Taney County MO! I'm all too familiar with the thrill of tractoring on rough knobby hills.

    Thank you both! There are a couple auctions coming up with several for sale that I am going to check out. There is also a Ford 6 for sale at a local implement dealer I am going to have a look at. What is the reputation of the Ford 6?

    I'm needing a disk harrow, but don't really know what I'm looking for. I need a little advice on the sizing. I have a mid 80's Ford 2110 4WD 38HP (Shibaura built) that's really only ever been used to brush hog. With the rear tires filled and the loader it probably weighs 5000 lbs+, has good...
