My brother on our farm tractor in KY. Truly a POS that replaced the 8N my uncle rolled down the hillside. It was formerly a KY DOT mowing tractor and was rebuilt, sorta. It's biggest problem is it just doesn't get used enough.

NH TL80, cab tractor with FEL
NH TC45, with FEL
JD 2210, if you can call it tractor, I call it an overgrown lawnmower, with FEL and mower deck.
A/C model "C", or what's left of it.

All these threads of what tractor should I buy has me wondering what tractors you already have. I have 3 I use and 1 yard art. IH 1586 was my grandpas Case 2290 bought it setting in a field for 15 years $750. Put batteries on it drove it home. John Deere 4020. Water in oil $3000 and an overhaul best tractor I have. 1950 John Deere A. Grandpa bought it new. Still runs Tractor I would love to have one day is a John Deere 7810 When I was 'truck-farming' back in the early '70s, I had two "H"s, one "M", a 560D, an 806 and last, my dad's Cub.. Today, my son has the Cub (now fully restored) and I only have one tractor - a JD 3039R... It does everything I need done and more..

150 Massey Ferguson, with front end loader, and a 4020 John Deere. I need to get a loader for the Deere and sell the one for the Ferguson. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

40 year old Ford 5600 with Bush Hog brand front end loader The only new tractor I ever bought was a Ford 5600. Kept it 20 years and put 8000 hours on it, till it was burned up. I ran that thing day and night trying to get a crop in the ground. Used it just about everything, as it was the most modern one I had for a long time.

What has become of New Holland. They took over Ford which was a much respected brand and now the only 2 people I know that have big New Hollands wish they had bought something else. The dealers we had nearby quit selling them. One went to Mahindra and LS.

A 1960 model TO 35 Ferguson. All I need to take care of my little place. Brush hog, box blade, disk and a little cart to water with. Tons of fun.

The big New Holland tractor sell well in Western Iowa. I'm told they are a lot cheaper than the Deeres.

Ones I still own: '52 Cub w/5' sickle bar; IH 184, all the bells'n whistles available w/5' belly mower; Most of them only have a 3 spd/one brake pedal. Mine has split brakes, creeper,6' front blade and three point. Ford Jubilee and 6' Dearborn flail mower, since 1972, .
Ones I've run since grade school: Ford 9N, Farmall H and M. Uncle bought the H new, same year/month I was born (1946) and worked a 220 acre/40 cow dairy farm with it for years, until he got the first M back in the mid 1950s. The H still runs. Oliver 88; Oliver crawler;; IH Super C and some I've forgotten.
Ones I run now: Kubota L3130 FWD/FEL w/almost 1,800 hours; JD 1023E; Coupla JD 455 diesel mower tractors. BTW, Kubota has had a 90 or 100HP FWD tractor for years. A relative takes one up to his snowmobile "farm" near Redfield, NY every winter, to open the place up and clear nearby roads with the front mount 6' snow blower. They gave him a key to the town's diesel pump years ago, so he can help keep their roads open.
If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

The dealers we had nearby quit selling them. One went to Mahindra and LS. Some of the smaller LS tractors are not much more than a rebadged New Holland at a lower price point.

JD is capitalizing on their old reputation. It's a well earned one. But today's JD's are no better, or no worse than any other tractor built on the international platform worldwide. They aren't the good ol' trouble free made in the USA tractors they were. When I bought my 100hp Case I dug deep into the similar 100hp JD. On the bottom line, I bought the Case with a good loader for $10K less than the JD model without a loader. Not planning on leaving a tractor legacy to my kids, it didn't take long to compute which I would buy.

I've got a beater 1520 JD, it's got a fresh motor & big meats on the back so it's perfect for my little Ky. brush pile.
Miss my 1st gen 4000 Ford with a Selecto-speed though.

Didnt know Kubota made a tractor that big. Article I read last week said they’re releasing a 150 horse (or in that neighborhood) soon. They already make one larger than that. http://www.tractordata.com/farm-tractors/010/1/0/10109-kubota-m7172.html Same engine that I have in the M6-131, I think. 6.1 liter
