As long as it keeps running. I mean how long does it take to get 3500 worth of use out of a tractor?

Three years ago this 12 acre field was nothing but a big weed patch. Over my head with sumac scrub and multi floral rose. Yeah....it has a lot of sage grass yet, but it also has some damn nice grass. After I get it cleared off, I'll pour the lime to it. Maybe that will help with the sage.

Most of this is red top grass. Old school forage.

We’ve had this machine for a few years and it’s been clicking in 2nd gear since we’ve owned it.

Yesterday was the day that it was time to takes a look at her.

Any chance of getting those gears repaired in a machine shop?

I don’t know of a shop right off hand plus I already ordered the parts.
I guess now that you say that I should look into it.

Thanks, it was a pretty big mess and I can’t stand tripping over stuff... I did the differentials a couple years ago.

Might be brittle anyhow. New parts are always the best bet.

I ordered aftermarket. So I’m not so sure the gears I ordered are going to be anything special probably made in China..... The dealers prices have been are are getting out of control on parts.

I'm beginning to think I need to pour a slab in my barn just to split my tractors instead of having anyone else work on them. I've not heard anything about my 2640 in awhile.

I’m sure you would use it.

I don’t think we’d be able to operate without doing our own repairs. It’s not only the cost but it’s the turn around time and Quality of work.

I’m seeing the wisdom in what you are saying.

I’ve always liked these quotes.

“Don’t get New Paint fever”

“High prices will bankrupt you faster than low prices”

“The best tool on a Farm is a sharp pencil”

“Do the $25 - $1,000 dollar per hour jobs yourself”


Point is use your pencil and save yourself a bunch of money by figuring things out.

The cost of a repairs, seed, fertilizer and supplies.
Sometimes an hour spent figuring things can save several hundreds to thousands of dollars these days.

I love those case combines. How many hours does she have.
