Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Now, here's a pretty one

That's quite a few hours for a small hp tractor.

Of course everything depends on how it was maintained.

Yeah,...I guess I'm going to have to convert hours to miles to keep it at something I can relate to.

65 miles an hour X 2850 = 185,000 miles.

I realize, of course that the tractor isn't being driven 65 miles an hour. But the RPM a tractor would be turning in a car would probably put the car at about 65 MPH.

That's 74 hours a year.

Not a bad looker.

Tractor data says it was made by Yanmar and distributed by John Deere.


I have a 2555 and a 2955 that were made in Germany, engines made in France.

I appreciate everybody's tolerance of my never ending questions about tractors. Tractors are a new avenue for me,..and to tell the truth, they're just my latest toy infatuation.

I located this little guy about 80 miles from here. I might have to go give it a look. But he's gonna have to come off that price a good bit before I buy it. 21 HP Mitsubishi diesel and the three point is rated to pick up 1500 lbs. I can see why he has the weight on the front.

Tack 1500 lbs onto the three point all you gonna do is lift the front wheels off the ground.

Still,...I bet it would pull that raggedy ass chicken coup down and if I just skirted the edge on the cane patch with a 48" bush hog, I could probably thin it out enough to keep it under control.

I kind of see it as a late model replacement for the Ford 8N,....but like I said,...he's gonna have to come off that price about a thousand dollars to make me take him seriously. I don't know whether he'd do it,....and I don't know if I wanna drive 160 miles round trip to find out.

It's got 1500 fuggin' hours on it too.

Somebody like playin' with that little tractor.

It's only 18hp at the PTO.

You need to get something you can tear some schidt up with!

Keep lookin'.

okay

I ain't given up on Massey 135's yet. But I think I'm going to require the diesel.

You'll find the perfect match!

I ain't in no hurry.

What exactly are you going to do with it I've got a 35 ferguson gas does what I need wish I had a 1050 John Deere I've borrowed dad in laws and it's far better

i'm gonna haul stuff here and there,...pull down a raggedy ass chicken coup,...and flit here and there with a bush hog,....although I don't have a lot of bush hoggin' to do.

Somebody ~~~raised a lotta cane back in their younger days~~~ on this little patch I bought,..and I gotta keep it under control or the community will march on my place bearing torches and pitchforks.

Besides,...I just want a new toy,....like I said.

This is the way it would go here. Stuff like that is an appreciating asset.

If it was here, I would own it by now.
Been looking for one for a bit.

I know a guy with the Yanmar branded equivalent. Uses the heck out of it with a front end loader in the summer and a snow blower in the winter to keep a 1/2 mile drive way open. Been running it ten years to my knowledge with very few problems.
