In Reply to: about those good and bad tractors...... posted by ericlb on November 11, 2010 at 11:21:50:

I was raised on a farm and grew up in a farming community where I had the sometimes pleasure of operating a wide variety of tractors and power equipment. Some even home made. And I will say that I have never found a bad tractor as long as you operated it within the design parameters. And on the flip side I never ran one that was perfect in every way. One of my favorite 50-75 horsepower tractors was the John Deere 2020. I ran one that never missed a lick. Then there was another 2020 down the road that if you kept it running for more than 50 hours without something in the drive train breaking you were having a good time. We swore it was built either on a Monday or Friday, and I think that this is the case with all manufacturers. But I do agree with the Far Eastern built tractors. I think they are built with the intent of selling relatively cheep to the hobby gardener. to pull the little tiller through the back yard or move a little landscape gravel once in a while. You put them out to work for 10-12 hours a day and you might make one season between overhauls. There are a bunch of them around here and I get calls all the time to do repairs and when I tell them what its going to cost they first tell me I'm crazy and then a couple days later they come asking me again and I tell them that they might as well replace it and keep the old one for parts. I have two in the back right now that that I just sold to a parts recycle yard.

Today's Featured Article - The Rescue of a Fordson F - by Anthony West. Introduction I live in the UK and have for many years restored Fordson tractors (in the main model N's). I have also restored and shown model F's, E 27N's, Field Marshall Series 2, David Brown Cropmasters and the old rey Fergeson T 20. At one time I had seven restored examples which were shown and used in ploughing matches. As most restorers, I have a number of war stories I can relate on a range of topics that may help other like minded and interested people. Perhaps my first p ... [Read Article]
