Great video just subbed to everyone you had in it researching tractors now
Thanks for watching đ
@@HamiltonvilleFarm How do you feel about going from a non dpf tractor to a tractor with dpf? Any plans on deleting it? I heard it's very easy on a Branson.
I donât have issues bc I run mine at 1800-1900 rpmâs pretty much all the time unless I need the PTO. Iâve yet to experience a regen
Looking to buy 5-25 acres with a house and lease 40-100 more to do intensive rotation of pigs followed by chickens in chicken tractors to keep the bugs down by cleaning up the pastured areas after the hogs are in the next pasture. Likely to be in Alabama, with partially forested land.
Knowing that, what size tractor and what implements to start with do you recommend? (Thank you)
Thanks for having us, Hank. Lots of fun!
Thanks Timđ

Well spoken Tim!
Great advice on resale. Iâve always had that in mind when buying a house
Whoever came up with the idea for group tips on buying a tractor is brilliant đ
Thanks for watching!
I agree....it's all Hank! He had a great idea!
Best collaboration Iâve seen on CZcams. Great idea Hank
Lol. Thanks buddy đ
X2! Great collab!!!
Very creative idea
I have a 5acre horse farm in middle Tennessee, I moved from Baltimore Maryland. I bought my 2013 Kubota L3200HST back home for snow removal and firewood. Once here I needed a little more lift ability for round bales and such. I kept the tractor because it has 300hrs and is pre-emissions. I purchased a used 2000 New Holland LS180 skid steer and it compliments the tractor perfectly. Itâs the best of both worlds.
Right onđ
That's my thought exactly, one will mow your lawn and do so much, but the skid steer will make quick work of a lot of jobs, move a lot of dirt and wood, I can't find the do all one machine, don't need the tractor for snow removal if you have the skid loader, good luck and stay strong
Thank You, really enjoy watching you. One thing Iâve learned from owning lots of machinery, is that resale value is a relative term. Iâve had John Deere dealers refuse to take in anything but Deere, Kubota that refused anything but Orange, etc. I have found that the dealer of the color you bought always (in my experience)gives you the best trade-in.
I heavily agree with Tim, avoid grey-market or budget tractors.
Great job to all involved in this video! I think this will be extremely helpful for current and perspective owners! Nothing better than some tractor therapy, cheers! đ»
Thanks for watching!
Very well done video and packed with a lot of good information for current and prospective tractor owners. Really cool that you included all the folks from different channels representing a ton of experience and great information. Blessings to you!
Thanks for watching đ
Excellent video Hank. Thank you to all who participated (and yes, I am subscribed to every one of them). What a wealth of knowledge, every one has taught me something.
Thanks Jim đ
Great video Hank! Actually I am already subscribed to everyone of your people except one and I just subscribed to his channel today as well. Last summer I purchased a John Deere 2038r and I have a grapple, rear blade, pallet forks, rototiller, fertilizer spreader, 40 gallon sprayer and a host of other attachments. I have learned a lot from watching CZcams videos and it has influenced a lot of my tractor and attachment buying decisions. Thanks to y'all for what you do. And FYI My local John Deere service manager will have donuts on his desk in the morning.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and make the comment. I truly appreciate it! Have a good day.
Great video Hank. How awesome to set such a great example for other content creators across the platform. This also is loaded with great advice for those looking for a tractor.
Thanks Jesse. I appreciate it đ
This is the best new tractor advice video I've ever seen from someone who owns a tractor but is looking to upgrade. Good job at getting all these great minds together
Thanks for taking the time to watch and make the comment. I truly appreciate it! Have a good day.
Awesome video Hank! You did a great job of picking the right guys for the panel. I'll be sending this to some friends that are looking for their first tractor. GOD bless!
Thanks Keith. We appreciate that. Have a happy Thanksgiving!
LOVE my grapple and box blade. I barely use my bucket. It's amazing how much dirt you can pick up with a grapple, unless the dirt is crazy dry. Great video!
Thanks for watching đ
Awesome idea and video! Good grouping of channels that people respect! This should be very helpful to anyone looking to purchase a tractor. Have a great weekend!
Much appreciated!
When I bring in my SUV for service; I have given my favorite mechanic a six pack of his favorite beer. I always get great service.
I bet. Thanks for watching
Great video! One thing I kept expecting to hear Tim say when talking about resell value was to get a front end loader even if you don't think you need it. You'll find uses for it, trust me! And trying to sell that tractor down the road without one isn't very likely.
Thanks for watching đ
Get a pen and paper, click play, & take notes! Great collaboration! GREAT Advice!!
Lol. Thanks buddy!
This is a whoâs who conglomeration of the Gentlemenâs Farm community. Great advice for the first time tractor buyer and experienced tractor owners, alike. Great job everyone đ
This was an awesome video idea, loved hearing from all these guys, Iâm subscribed to all of them now!
Thanks Johnny đ
Wow fantastic collaboration, Hank! Tons of great info in this video!
Thanks for watching đ
Absolutely Spot on Hank! I canât believe I missed this video, and absolutely loved it...It took me about 2-3 years to find the right tractor watching all you guys...Youâve got to âget your money rightâ as Grant Cardone would say!
Thanks for watching đ
The part about the BLOCK HEATER was good stuff
Even if you don't live in really cold area like I do, mine is plugged in all the time, I allso rap heat blankets around my battery's
Tell you why I heat my block it is a 3-53 Detroit, and the oil that your run in those older Engines is STRAIGHT 40 WHT. everytime I go to START her when she been off for a week or so, it starts like it's warmed up, with the BLOCK HEATER on. Every thing you did in this video was great HANK
keep her going. Thank you so much.
Thanks for watching đ
Great clip!! Really informative, cool how you got all together to make the clip...
Thanks Allenđ
I have driven tractors over the years here in NZ but never had a need for one myself. What a great idea bro there was some interesting food for thought. All the best
Thanks for watching. Cheers đ
I have a 25hp bobcat, a 5520ch Branson is my general duty, and a 180hp New Holland for 130 acres. The 55hp Branson gets the most use by far, especially when I cut wood for my sawmill.
Great video Hank and all you other guyâs,i love the tractor community,easily the nicest people ever!
I agree đ thanks for watching đ
Lots of good info. Thanks for sharing Hank. Have a good weekend buddy
Thanks Jackyđ
Real nice video Hank I like watching all these guys including you. Good job, take care.
Glad you enjoyed it
What a fantastic collaboration. So many great and useful points.
Thanks Curtđ
This is a great video with a lot of great information! Thanks for making it and Iâve enjoyed it a couple of times.
Thanks a lot. We appreciate thatđ
Thanks so much for putting this together Hank...all these guys have great info for folks considering a tractor purchase! Thanks buddy..many blessings!
Thanks for being part of it. I appreciate itđ
Long time subscriber to both of you guys and have learned a lot from y'all. Thanks and if you haven't yet, check out Stoney Ridge Farmers channel. You won't be disappointed.
@@jkholley1118 Thanks JK
HeyHank, this video was an EXCELLENT idea and very well done! I happen to be subscribed to nearly all of these channels including yours my friend. God bless you for this great collaboration!
Thanks for watching đ. We appreciate it
Hah, Thanks Hank.........all my favorite tractor bloggers in one video, I'm glad I did a TON of research before making my decision when I bought my TYM T474 in July. I'm happy as a clam with my choice and features it has for what I need here in the snowbelt of NW Montana.
Thanks for watching đ
I just picked up a used tym 503. So far so good. Love the machine. Pto keeps shutting off but I think I've figured out the problem. Controller module. Apparently they commonly go out around 300 to 500 hrs.
One of the best videos on CZcams. I am subscribed to everyone already! Thanks and GOD BLESS!
Thanks for watching Frank! God bless đ
All good tips from this video. The three major brands in my particular area sold buy bigger dealers are New Holland, Kubota, and John Deere. There's a smaller dealership that mainly dealers in Stihl, Toro, and Simplicity yard equipment that also sells Kioti and Massey Ferguson tractors. But all four dealers have been here for many years and were established way before I was born. I was pricing out tractors last year and was looking at something in a sub-compact because our yard is little and it had to have a loader for moving material about as well as being small enough to get into the chicken coop to clean it out easier. As an extra option I was looking into a snow blower for the front for winter time. Sadly those plans were changed after I had to get a new truck to get back and forth to work, which is a bit more important. Since I have truck payments I can't afford a tractor right now, but I'm still always looking. On hydro models I think some people over look the forward and reveres foot pedals. For me I've avoided the Kubota's because they have that awful rocker pedal that cramps your ankle. Everything else I've looked into have the side-by-side pedals. :)
This is some pretty good information Hank. Great group to be featuring here. We still live on the 224 acre farm that I grew up on in Iowa. Although I no longer farm it, I still mow much of our pasture/ timber which is about 1/2 of the farm or approximately 110 acres. I mow with my Kubota L2501 and a 60 in. brush hog. Believe me when I say that it takes me a while to do all the mowing. I still have 4 of the tractors around here on the farm that we used when we actively farmed here. My largest is a John Deere 2520 diesel with a cab. A vary rare tractor. I have 2 , 1958 John Deere 520's, and a 1940 9N Ford with a factory Dearborn buzz saw on the back. I am glad that I don't have to buy all the tractors and equipment that I would need to do everything that I do on this farm.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and make the comment. I truly appreciate it! Have a good day.
Thank you for this overwhelming amount of information and the education it provided. This was most excellent. Mostly new tractor owner in Fairbanks Alaska.
Thanks for watching đ
Wow! Good vid Hank! Very informative. Haven't bought my tractor yet, but have watched all these guys, yourself included to educate myself before I buy! It was good to listen to them all and there advice before I purchase my tractor!! Thank u Mr. Hank for putting this video together for us first time buyers very helpful!!! đđ
We appreciate you watching đ
Thank you great video !!! I watch most of these guys !!! You did a great job !!! Keep it up !!!
Thanks Markđ
So much good info from an all-star cast of guest speakers! Thanks
Thanks for watching đ
What a great video Hank ! An all star cast ! Lots of good information for sure ! Have a Great Day and God Bless !
Thanks for watching đ
Hey Hank, great information here, I live in Virginia and yeah, people use them everywhere and while I myself don't have a need for one (much less than an acre) this is awesome info for buds of mine around. It's awesome the way you reached out to your community and made a colab with them, they have great info as well, it's awesome to step out of my own niche and see what you and they have to say, so much information, resale value, and there is more than John Deere who would have thought hahah. Thanks for the awesome info and your great channel.
Thanks for stopping by Iggy đ
@@HamiltonvilleFarm my pleasure bud ;)
Kudos on getting all these people together. Nice video and good job!
Thanks for watching đ
Very informative video Hank. I've watched all but one of the channels, and now I'll have to check out that channel too.
I'll share just a little bit of my experience. I bought a used tractor 10+ years ago. This was a tractor I decided I wanted back in the mid 1980s. It is a 1982 Kubota B8200D compact tractor. It is a manual transmission, open operator, 4WD tractor. I added a loader and backhoe to her after a couple of months. My backhoe was used as well, to save money, and I had everything added to the tractor when I had a ROPS put on so I would only have one trip to a dealer. I did need to buy a trailer as one of my first related purchases. I paid cash at the time for everything.
What have I learned? I learned how to operate my tractor with a back blade, that came with the tractor. I learned how to use a loader and backhoe. I learned that even the small tasks that I had were sometimes too much for this tractor, and I learned I hate freezing to death while moving snow in the cold winters in Northern Vermont. I also learned that with only one exception this tractor has never failed to start, and the time it didn't want to start the temperature was about -20 degrees and the wind was blowing another 20 degrees away from that temperature. Unfortunately, I don't have a cozy place for it to live. I think the most important take away was not being comfortable with something a little less than I need.
If you find that one tractor that does the job with only a few exceptions you will find a way to work with it no matter what little things you have to do to overcome the shortcomings of the machine. Last year I bought a used canopy for my tractor and added it for comfort from snow and blowing winds. This is one addition I can report didn't do the job very well. I'm not taking it off though.
This year I decided that I could afford a new tractor and I upgraded to what I need for the winter work and PTO jobs. It is a Kioti CK2610 cab tractor and has HST and quick attach loader. It is a 5-6 HP upgrade as well. Now, for my suggested first and most useful attachment. The first thing I bought was a set of quick attach forks. If you think about it what really is better? I can use my forks for lifting and moving all kinds of things, but especially those things on a pallet. I never put hooks on my Kubota bucket and that made things difficult to lift without a solid attachment point. With the quick attach forks I can pick up the other attachments I buy and place them around where I can get to them. Not to mention getting new attachments off the truck and saving myself hundreds if not thousands of dollars in extra delivery costs.
What advice would I give the new tractor purchaser? Buy a good used tractor that will be basic enough to teach you things you will never learn with the brand new super convenient tractors available these days. I see plenty of them on Craig's List and they can be downright cheap. Don't be afraid to make useful upgrades. There is no commercial cab available for my Kubota for example, so a make-do had to work. Find out how to deal with the inconvenient way to do things. Learn on a good cheap tractor and find out if you really need one, maybe you really don't, and when you're sure you do, now you know what you're looking for and have a trade for that new tractor, or better yet, sell it for more than the trade-in price and get a good down payment. My preference is for a compact tractor and not a smaller sub compact.
Note: Did I trade in my old Kubota? No, I still need the backhoe, and I couldn't think of a more loyal friend.
I appreciate the comment. Thanks for the time to do that. Have a good day
What an amazing video. Such a variety of great input from a bunch of well spoken people. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Great video, Hank. It was a good idea, I subscribe to most of them and those guys are very knowledgeable. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
Thanks Harryđ
Great video with a lot of useful information. Thank you. I especially liked the cold weather tips...didn't think of some of those things.
Thanks for watching đ
Wow, all star line up. This may be one of your best videos. And thatâs saying a lot. Great cast, job and collaboration.
Thanks Scott. It was a lot of fun đ
This is the first post from your channel I've viewed. Excellent idea. While I personally didn't learn anything new, it confirmed that spending the amount of time researching a purchase is time well spent. I'm now subscribed to your channel. I see you've got some very interesting topics.đđđ
Thanks for stopping by. We appreciate it
Cool video. Enjoyed seeing everyone in one spot.
WOW!... so much shared wisdom here. I am looking to purchase my first tractor and I am so glad I stopped by... I am subscribed and will see you later...Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the need to know info Hank. I appreciate all the info.
Thanks Alan. I appreciate you watching đ
Man, that is a great video with a lot of good information from great sources. Thanks for putting all of this together!
Thanks đ
You add a lot to Hank and Gina's videos with your input the best one was when you clean the Bolt & Nut
đ
This is probably the only 30-minute video (not starting with âCobra Kaiâ!) that Iâve ever sat all the way through on CZcams. And I donât even own a tractor! Thinking of getting one for my 15 acres, though, and this was the most helpful information shoved into 30 minutes Iâve seen yet. Nice job đ
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very informative video !!! thanks to all Creator's for there input.. thanks Hank for putting this together
Glad you enjoyed it!
On stony ridge's comment - I'd wonder his perspective on multiple tractors. To me - if you're wanting to mow with a very large mower that is one place where there are a lot of very capable older tractors that can pull big mowers. And when you do a lot of hay or a lot of acres of mowing - the hours add up in a way that they don't when you do quick chores or loader work. Most people won't be doing 3-4 hours of loader work around the farm and if they are that's probably skid steer territory. Similarly if you're mowing and doing 4-8 hours of hay work a day you might not want to load up those hours on a new loader tractor. So often times what makes sense is an appropriate 4wd loader tractor of modern vintage that is reliable in cold weather for snow work up north, and comfortable/handy and a second tractor that does field duty and for mowing/non-ground engagement a 2wd tractor even one with lots of hours that might be cold blooded in winter will take care of those summer field chores and won't care if it eats up 200 hours a summer mowing in terms of retail.
I'm personally a sucker for the old Deere 4230 and they still are great tractors for that sort of work.
Thanks for watching đ
Thanks for getting together a Rockstar lineup! Great information!!!!
Thanks Duncanđ
Great show Hank. Love watching your vids. One topic you may want to touch on in the future is the cost to maintain, and how to maintain your tractor. I had a rude awaking recently when I bought hydraulic filters and fluid for my thirty HP orange tractor.
Yeah I hear ya. That's a good comment. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Have a great day.
Awesome one. Thanks so much guys very helpful.
That was awesome, entertaining, informative, interesting and very cool. this should become a thing. đđșđž
Glad you enjoyed it
Very helpful, thank you for making this video. I have never had a tractor, getting ready to retire and buy some property so it's just what I was looking for.
Thanks for watching!
GREAT VIDEO, I never thought I would have this much trouble picking out a tractor.
Lol. It's a tough decision
thanks hank you just saved me a bunch of cash,i just bought 13 acres.and half of are woods. i was thinking of getting a cab tractor,but i will keep my open top work master 35. great job on the video
I ended up buying a kubota 3902 âŠ.nearest dealer to me was about 15 miles away. All other color tractor dealers were 50-100 miles away!
Theyâve been very good to me over the last 7 years! Bought my first new tractor from them also..2501. Thought Iâd keep it forever but eventually needed to upgrade because my needs changed !
Thanks for putting this together, good points made by all contributors. Josh with the tractor size and Courtney and the budget for attachments are both highly relevant to my situation.
Looks like I need a bigger tractor and a bigger shed for it and the add-ons.
I just built the wife a new house, so fair is fair.
Thanks for watching đ
Josh doesnât know jack. Heâs says the biggest he can put on that tractor is a 6ft mower. I guess heâs never heard of batwing mowers. You would have no problem pulling a 10 to 15 ft batwing mower wit that John Deere how do I know my family runs three large fruit farms with 9 tractors that get used every day in season
Awesome video! This was fun to watch!
Thanks for watching đ
Hank! I just love this collaboration, and turns out, I follow y'all!!! My tractor choice was driven by dealership location, reputation, and longevity, and lastly, price. It's a Blue brand, and has been flawless. Thanks for the info!!
Thanks for watching Graham!
Yessir, Y'all do a great service to owners and operators! Thank you
Very informative and that just gets you started: tire pattern, fluid-no-fluid, cast centers, wheel weights, wide/medium-narrow width stance, valves; float/double-acting, detent, diverter kit or third function, hydraulic top-link/side-link, HST, gear, shuttle, hydraulic shuttle... Two tractors are better than one. A tractor shrinks within the first day or two after you unload it...
For sure!
Wow Hank, you put on a great collaboration video. Well done!
Thanks đ
As we prepare to purchase our tractor, exhaustive research trust me, you provide us with a complete video that is informative and entertaining. A wealth of info provided in one spot. I have been watching all of your contributors in the video and really enjoy them all.
Thank you for putting this together.
Thanks for taking the time to watch and make the comment. I truly appreciate it! Have a good day.
Great job Hank, all my tractor hero's in the same video....
Thanks for watching đ
Thank you for all the great content.
Thank you for watching. We appreciate it đ
Epic!!! Should be running on a loop in the front area of every small tractor dealer!
Lol. Thanks for watching đ
Brilliant segment. Helped me alot! God Bless you all.
Thanks for watching!
This is a very good video thanks for putting it together
A video with just about all my subcriptions in it. As a "self proclaimed" tractor expert I'd add buy more hp than you think you're going to need. "A bigger tractor can do a smaller tractor job but a smaller tractor can't do a bigger tractor job"
Thanks for watching đ
Very well done, and thank you for assembling this film. I've never seen one like it, and it has given me lots of food for thought. (I dont sell but use (70hp +) and get asked alot "What should I buy?" by people who want compact machines.
We appreciate you watching. Thanks!
@@HamiltonvilleFarmYou are welcome,t Where was the "crescent wrench" bit.
HAY HANK... GREAT VIDEO, GREAT CONTENT, EXCELENTE INFORMATION... I PERSONALLY CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR EVERYTHING I'VE SEEN TODAY... THIS THE TYPE OF VIDEO I WOULD LIKE TO SEE MORE OF! VERRY HELPFUL INDEED...STAY COOL HANK... PEACE...
Thanks for taking the time to watch and make the comment. I truly appreciate it! Have a good day.
A good point tim makes about spare parts, all tractors break down sooner or later. My John Deere 2035 72hp is 44 years old and I can still get any part I need, it may take a week for some unusual part but are still available.
There's a couple of missed points. People who buy horse power on price. I know all 55hp tractors are not equal but people buy on price a lot. Next is the actual spec of the hydraulic pressure. My 55hp out lifted my father n laws 75hp tractor of a different brand. We put two tractor big brands against each other and they had the same hp. One tractor constantly out performed the other at the same jobs. Usually when there's a price difference it's for a reason. So what I'm saying is don't just shop for HP to price. There's many more specs you need to pay attention to.
Yeah I hear ya. That's a good comment. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment. Have a great day.
Exactly, things that are cheap are cheaper for a reason.
RE Winterizing your tractor so it is ready to plow snow. I added shore power to mine, using a marine breaker box. I plug the tractor in, and have a timer on the circuit it plugs into. I have an IP66 junction box, which contains a thermostatic switch which closes the circuit a 0-C (freezing), which energizes the block heater, and the pad style oil pan heaters on the transmission, and a pad heater under the battery. There is a feed to, a permanent mount battery maintainer, which isnât thermostat switched. Battery is always, charged up, the engine is always warm enough to start, and the hydrostatic transmission always works right.
Great idea for a video and Hank, what a GREAT JOB!
Thanks much đ
Love the video
Thanks for watching!
đ„ This is the best video Iâve ever been in. đ great job Hank!
*Keep on tractoring!*
Thanks đ
I was gonna say.... Some places winterize their fuel. Also not sure if you knlw, but on-road and off-road diesel is the same thing, they just don't add road tax to one, so if they winterize their fuel, both kinds will winterized.
Wow all of my favorite CZcamsrs in one video giving great advice. Thanks for putting this together and to all who participated.
Thanks for watching đ
Excellent video!!âș
Thank you kindly đ
Good stuff guys.
Thanks
great video, I like having the different tubers do the discussion.
Thanks for the feedback!
Great idea for this video, thanks Hank.
Thanks for watching đ
Courtney from Good Works tractor is absolutely correct you have got to have the right length trailer to handle what you're loading. I cannot tell you the number of times I have seen here in Eastern Kentucky people trying to pull a 50 or 60 or 70 horsepower tractor on a 2 axle 16-foot trailer with a F-150 or a 1500 Chevy or Dodge truck and guess where they end up at in the rear end of somebody else's vehicle at a red light or at the bottom of a hill because their truck was not large enough to stop their trailer or they wasn't smart enough to hook up their electric trailer brakes
Good video. This video is very helpful đđ». If the new tractor buyers will watch videos like this they wonât make the mistakes people made before you tube.
I know right !
Awesome video! Good idea!
Thank you! Cheers!
One of the most informative videos ever
Good work
Thanks for watching đ
I love this format! Different perspectives, geographics, and demographics. As a current tractor shopper I was already subscribed to all of your channels, but this collaboration underscores the âCommunityâ aspect of tractor owners. Well done!
That said, are there any suggestions regarding buying a cab tractor but removing the cab during early summer and fall? I live in NE PA and would love to have an open cockpit option during those seasons. FYI I have a gantry crane in a tall garage.
Thanks đ
Excellent panel!
Thanks for watching đ
GREAT VIDEO, other than Tractor time with Tim! I hope you keep up making great videos!
Hank, maybe I missed it, but I think a focus should be on your intended usage of a tractor. This means finding someone (maybe several) with some usage knowledge to get you to thinking about how you will use a tractor. An example from your video was the 3rd function being talked out by the dealer (strange as that should have bern a good profit margin for the dealer), but really needed for the usage.
The other big thing was mentioned by a couple of the folks, but worth focusing on and that is the where you buy your tractor. If new to tractors, you need to go with a dealer, but you need to research that dealer! Again the 3rd function kit not being sold and a boom pole sold with a loader tractor. Probably not a dealer I would consider using!
But as new to tractors you need to look at the service department and parts department! These will be your contact spots after the purchase is made.
Thanks for watching Coyđ
I feel like GP Outdoors would have been a valuable addition, maybe next time? Great guy with an awesome Chanel starting with his first tractor purchase and all his experiences and project with it up till now.
Yeah Gord is awesome. I love his videos.
I agree from he went from novice to skilled operator and showed it all and he has great video production
Agreed.
Nice video I learn lat on this video thanks you
Merci
You are welcome!
