Time for another tractor

I decided to turn the ground over for a garden on Saturday. I started the John Deere 2030 up and tried to hitch it to the two bottom plow but the plow will only fit for a cat one three point. There is only enough space where the pin is for the size of a cat one. I then got the Dexta and hooked it to the plow but the left quit working. Those were the only two tractors not hooked to an implement. So. I either disconnect an implement from one of the other tractors, get the Dexta lift working, or buy another tractor. Seems a good reason to get another tractor to me.

Oh, I agree. Get another tractor. I hate switching equipment. Those darned lynch pins are great to snap your fingers right at the cuticle. Hurts!

Kinda like barbed wire for me. Nearly every time I use one I get snapped. Nearly every time I get near "Gaucho" high tensile wire (made in Arkansas) I get stabbed and once ripped my arm open when it whipped while moving one end of a 100' piece over to another fence row.

If I replaced my equipment everytime costs exceeded equip. value, I couldn't refuel it. No wait, sounds like a good enough reason. Yea, doesn't work anymore. Right?

I agree with keeping an implement on a tractor. Just makes sense for my particular position. However, I decided to upgrade and in doing so rid myself of 3 tractors (trade-ins).

The nice thing about new tractors is that they are extremely fuel efficient and they are user friendly..... .and they don"t break. Ha!

So it doesn"t bother me to swap implements on this one like it did on the oldies.

What do you mean, they don't break. I used to have a Case IH 485 tractor, I bought Brand Spacking New, Zero Hours an the thing, Had nothing but trouble with it. First 100 hours of service was on the road, back and forth from my farm to the dealership. How ever gave you the idea, they never break, needs his head read. It Is A Stupid Machine, and the always break eventually. New or Old.

GET SOME HITCH BUSHINGS TO GO FROM CAT. 1 TO 2 and flip the sway blocks over to cat. 1 position also. And it will fit the 2030

It's the width of the cat 2 bar that is the problem with using the cat 2. The hitch pin only has a couple inches or so clearence to put the lift arm onto it.
