tractor

We have a used JD 4-wheel drive 50 hp tractor. The service in our area is excellent and parts are easy to get. We have a front end loader and various implements. Sure wouldn't be without it for various jobs including pulling our truck out of the mud several times this year already.

Tractors

We have 6 tractors and a Bobcat.Each one has its place,JD 60 is what we use most everyday.The New Holland tn65 with front loader and 4-wheel drive is what we use for round bale moving and general heavy stuff.JD B has cultivators on it and has had for a long time.WD 45 with wide front end brush hog tractor.
Ferguson TO-30 finish mower tractor.JD A complete restoration,we use this one
to haul hay wagons and to move pumpkins to the sales area in the fall.And the Bobcat is real handy to have around,643 with a Kubota engine.The New Holland has a quick detach bucket assembly that makes it compatable with all the attachments that go on the Bobcat as well.
As far as repair parts go JD has a online parts website,that works pretty well if the machine is "77" or newer.Price wise Bobcat is really high for replacement parts,so some stuff I can get local at the NAPA.
