My snow remover is great, they come in the middle of the night if that's when the snow stops falling. They use Kubota.Get this I pay just $300 for the whole winter season of snow blowing!
An impressive piece of machinery. I have an old Deer 955. Unfortunately it does not have a snow thrower. I use it to bucket out the larger piles and drifts. Then again I do not live in an area that gets huge snowfalls other than once every few years.The right dealer that can pick up and repair is the best answer.Good luck. Will you be adding racing stripes?
Old tractors are worth what the wheels and tires are worth as a general rule.
I bought an International 234H a few years ago. It was made by Mitsubishi , about ‘85. It has a three cylinder K3B diesel. Parts are rare, neither International or Mitsubishi support it. Engine parts can be had, that engine was used in other stuff but anything else has to be made. Last winter the front PTO driveshaft coupling shat the bed and I learned about Rotoflex couplings. This one was an odd size of course but with the help of a master machinist we made a new driveshaft coupling. The splines had stripped so we made a square drive instead. It worked out very well. The front pto drives the snowblower or a mower . I used an industry standard electric clutch that bolted right on. If you buy a tractor, make sure you get one with as many attachments as possible. This one had a mower and snowblower as well as a canvas three sided cab and tire chains. Look carefully at the wheels for corrosion, especially if the tires are fluid filled as it is super corrosive. This one had wheels that were ready to fail and flip me over. I got new rims and cut the centers out of the old ones and welded them into the new rims, first time for me and turned out very true. The attachments are not made anymore so I’ve had to make parts for them as well. That 300 bones for a season is very attractive but I sure can’t find someone to do it around here for that

After a couple years of auctions and Craigs List I figured out that beat out three decades old tractors sell for darn near as much as new ones, quite the workhorse, I've plowed city streets
Compact Utility? Heck, it's an enclosed cab.When I was plowin' wheat fields, there was no such thing
Well I don't know about that, my '91 JD 870 plows snow, digs holes, splits wood, grinds stumps, cuts grass and rototills the garden. Not sure you could get all that for the cost of a set of tires, even as expensive as I expect they are now.
My Ag tractor (as opposed to my mower) is a 22hp JD 4100 from the late nineties. It's all mechanical, diesel, has 4WD and a locking rear diff, and a shade top on the ROPS bar. I run a forestry chipper (w/hydraulic feed), a cultivator, a rake, a box blade, harrows, a bush hog, and a finishing mower off the 3-point. It is definitely a force multiplier...I've given all my wheelbarrows away and become good at cleaning and dressing PTO splines. I also have a JD X740 belly mower. It's also a diesel and has the hydrostatic transmission. We keep about 7 acres mowed here. It keeps going with minimal and very simple maintenance...just like the 4100. We have a decent dealer right in our community. Despite the high purchase price, I continue to believe John Deere to be a good value (excluding the big-box offerings).
I meant old tractors
Reading this makes me glad I can do with a push mower once a week
Nice tractor there! I have a few... been into the tractor hobby for many years. Most all of mine are old, and beat u though.. Case/Ingersoll GT's, a late 50's Homelite, old JD112, early Ford 8N and a big old Case 580CK Loader/backhoe.. All beat u old junk... But its been a fun hobby.. Ive helped run a web forum for tractors since the start.. Mytractorforum.com.
I always wanted to build one of those 1/4 pulling tractors with a motorcycle engine. Big v-twin would sound good.
After tons of research on mid size tractors,when choosing mine, I bought the Mahindra 4250, 42HP, in 4 wheel drive and front bucket. It’s the heaviest and highest lift rate of any tractor in its HP class. The final cost, with 4by4 and front end loader was thousands less than the other four popular brands. Nothing fancy, boxie looking and no shuffle shift, just old school work horse. That being said I love all the brands noted here, just my choice.
