In Reply to: Compact tractors. posted by DJ in N.H. on March 09, 2004 at 15:46:58:

I have used a '99 Model 4100 John Deere on my parents farm. Its a nice little tractor for doing a lot of small tasks. There are some things beyond power to look at. The hydrostatic transmission is good for loader work, belly mowing, and tilling. The John Deere loader will come off easily and stand up to remount without having to muscle it. There are a number of implements available through John Deere. I think if you move up to the 4200 series, there is a backhoe that can be mounted on it. This tractor has the industrial tire that gives better traction than the turf tire, but does not tear up the lawn like an agricultural tire. Also, these little units lack weight and the tires need to be filled with fluid and even rear ballast if doing heavy loader work. Likewise, because of the narrow wheelbase of these compacts they can turn over easily. I have had a rear wheel lift off the ground more than once while on a hillside (takes your breath away). John Deere support is also something to consider. I added a homemade device to the hitch. To do this I called John Deere and they faxed me the exploded views for all the hitch and lift assembly parts and their part numbers within the hour that I called. There was also an update on a safety latch for the loader that was sent to us free. It came with complete instructions for installation. I know of some people here with some of the small foreign made tractors that can not get parts after a few years after manufacture. These are just some things to consider for the long run.

Today's Featured Article - A Lifetime of Farm Machinery - by Joe Michaels. I am a mechanical engineer by profession, specializing in powerplant work. I worked as a machinist and engine erector, with time spent overseas. I have always had a love for machinery, and an appreciation for farming and farm machinery. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. Not a place one would associate with farms or farm machinery. I credit my parents for instilling a lot of good values, a respect for learning, a knowledge of various skills and a little knowledge of farming in me, amo ... [Read Article]
