    Would you buy the same tractor again or a different one?

    I agree with everything you said. You see a lot of people with tractor remorse because they didn't know any better when they bought their tractor. I lived on a 534 acre farm as a kid and grew up with tractors. I also at one time worked for the state DNR where I operated a tractor, back hoe, or...

    Would you buy the same tractor again or a different one?

    Dude, you’re reading way too much into everything!!! I simply asked if people are still happy with the machine they chose or if they wish they had bought something different. And here you come outta left field acting like someone took a dump in your cheerios and saying you think I secretly...

    Would you buy the same tractor again or a different one?

    Lucky kid your son is! I have been searching heavily for a late 70's F series 4x4 truck for a while now. Most you find are butchered up disasters.

    Would you buy the same tractor again or a different one?

    Please show me where I ever stated the 2502 was my only experience with tractors. :rolleyes: I have been operating tractors of all sizes/brands for decades. I also have quite a bit of experience with diesel engines and the emissions issues I've personally seen from them. As well as the testimony...

    Would you buy the same tractor again or a different one?

    Adding the top/tilt as well as the 3rd function to my tractor was a real game changer. Wouldn't own a tractor without that now.

    2024 Summer Olympics

    I refuse to watch or support the Olympics. They no longer align with with my beliefs.

    Would you buy the same tractor again or a different one?

    So I am curious if you would buy the same one again or, if you had a "do-over" would you choose something different? When I was buying, I was contemplating two different machines. It was between the 2502 or the Grand L 3560 and pricing wasn't a factor. Ultimately, I wanted a tractor I felt I...

    Educate me on how to pick a grapple

    I purchased a Homestead Implements Pinnacle grapple and I absolutely love it. It's extremely well made and heavy duty while still being lightweight. But it takes around 5 weeks to get one, or at least it did a few months ago when I ordered mine. Another company I would look at is Catawba...

    Proof that God exists......Miracles do happen.

    Wow! glad you made it through that. You are very lucky! Maybe you should change your forum name to "Runs with grout paddle". :LOL:

    L Series Lift Capacity

    You see several of the korean tractors (TYM, Branson, Kioti etc.) that are same size or smaller than the L series with MUCH higher lift capacities. Not saying that it's safe, or won't be detrimental to the longevity of those tractors, but it doesn't seem that they took the weight or width of the...

    L Series Lift Capacity

    I have considered replacing mine with a tad larger cylinders as well. I would think you could just spec out a tad larger diameter with same stroke and buy them for half this price... Maybe just move up to a 2" bore?

    Looks to me that possibly that zip tie rubbed into the wiring creating a short.

    Ordering a new BX23s - What advice can you give me, please?

    My Pat's QH has been the best thing I have added to my tractor.

    Want to buy L2502 but cold start has me re-thinking

    I have a 2502 and closing in on the 100 hour mark. I haven't had this issue or any other issue with my tractor. Not sure what your concern is if they did have to shim the pump. That seems to be a logical solution if it was needed. The 2502 is a bigger, wider, heavier tractor than the 2620. You...

    Is hydraulic pressure deliberately set "low" from the factory or dealer?

    Maybe that is it.... I am 51 now and feel like I hit it harder now than I did in my 20's. I think it's because through my 20's and 30's I was doing fun stuff with the wife, or hanging at deer camp with the guys, fishing etc. And now, I just want to be home and get stuff done. Work is what I...

    Storage On A Tractor - Kolpin Gear Basket 53360

    This basket looks IDENTICAL to the ATV basket I bought off of Amazon for $100 and bolted to the ROPS of my tractor.
