Tractors

I love the old Fords! I had an 8n a few years ago. It needed an engine rebuild, so I sold it. I toyed with the idea of having the whole tractor restored. It is a great tractor! There is a company in the state of Indiana that tears them down, sandblasts, rebuilds everything, and repaints them. You get a "new" tractor back for about 8 or 9K. I almost did it, but I bought a Kubota instead.

I miss the 8N a bit, but I do LOVE my Kubota!

I will say, tractors today aren't built like they used to be built!

Well they aren't really a hobby since using them is how we make our living but here's some of our tractors.

Got a 1970 ford 3000 that I keep the place bushogged with. It ain't much to look at so I've never even thought about taking a picture of it.

*sigh* I have tractor envy.

I am thinking seriously about the John Deere 3032e package.

Nice photos thanks.
Hi, my first bigger post here, couse i know about them more than about chickens

(i'm starting my adventure with chickens right now

). I have two tractors, Carraro TF7400 and Challenger MT465B. They aren't mine, but i work on them Challenger is great, huge, strong and reliable. But repair costs are horrible. Antonio Carraro machine is also good, but i have to admit, that finding parts is a nightmare...
The only way to get parts is importing them from Europe. I couldn't find a fuel filter when i needed it a few months ago. Look here: Carraro tractors. All machines here are only from europe...
That's why in my opinion tractors divide in two groups - those with parts available in the us, and those with parts that have to be imported. And time of getting parts is very important...because tractors have to work 24/7 in some companies....when it breaks down, sometimes whole company can't work.
