DaleC Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 New Toy. New joys. New start. New dreams. New obstacles. New solutions. No new problems. The more things change the more they stay the same. I don't know what all this means, but enjoy and good luck on chasing your dreams!!
Boney Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Nice toy,,,,looks like you are going to have a lot of fun in the future :)
pbrenner70 Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Nice Tractor, How much was it? (If you dont mind me asking)
SmilinSam Posted November 25, 2003 Author Posted November 25, 2003 3 Cyl Liquid cooled 22HP Diesel engine Hydrostatic foot controlled transmission Power steering 4 w Drive Rear 540 PTO Center 2000 PTO 18 PTO HP Cat "1" 3 pt hitch Sealed wet disc brakes 2 speed gear box differential lock, engaged by pedal on floor Quick release loader, max lift around 900 lbs Seems like a well built machine. Dealer has sold quite a few of them. Apparrently the diesel engine has been in use for a number of years and has a pretty good service record. I didn't buy the mower deck with the tractor as the center and 3 pt lift are not independant. So, I figured I 'd just start shopping for 3 pt attachments over the summer starting with a 5' finish mower which I already have a lead on. First order of business is to fabricate a set of forks to use with it for lifting pallets and equipment. HAvn't made up my mind as to make them attachable to the bucket or to just make a independant head unit like I did with the smaller tractor I'm now selling.
SmilinSam Posted November 25, 2003 Author Posted November 25, 2003 Price was $12,250 without the mower deck. Dealer allowed $5000 for my 917/deck/cab/blower and the 720/deck.
pbrenner70 Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Ebay has some compact loader forks for attachment directly to the bucket.
IronPony Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 If weight is an issue (that is to be lifted) than the separate head is the way to go. I am just g r e e n opps I mead AC orange/yellow --- Nice, have fun with it. Dan
JP Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Hey Sam, Wonder what the 'Poor Folks' are doin' this year (LOL)! Looks like a GREAT Ride!!! JP PS Jealousy IS an ugly emotion! (LOL)........ 8-)

JP PS Jealousy IS an ugly emotion! (LOL)........ 8-) I been working towards a trade like this for a couple years now. Just seemd the right moment now. It won't be paid for till a year from now I'm sure. Right now I'm scraping the barrel to finish paying the truck off. Don't want to be stuck with two payments. When you work towards a goal and have to scrape and dig all the way there, it just make the finished accomplishment all the more rewarding. |) and...lets give credit where credit is due, if it were not for God putting me in the right place at the right time on many a occasion, I wouldn't have the tools at my disposal that I have now.;)
DaleC Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 That is true for all of us, Sam. Some reach were they are going by stretching and some by sitting still. Usually, those sitting complain the loudest. God Bless.
JimH Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Hey Sam, nice lookin new toy. Is it Massey Ferguson's equivilant to the new Legecy XL? Good luck with it. Jim.........
SmilinSam Posted November 25, 2003 Author Posted November 25, 2003 The new Legacy is supposed to be a little smaller and not quite as tough as this. On the subject of forks here is some interesting solutions: [url]http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2576197039&category=11756[/url] [img]http://i23.ebayimg.com/03/i/00/b3/fa/db_1.JPG[/img] [url]http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2576424883&category=40108[/url] [img]http://i10.ebayimg.com/01/i/00/f6/9a/b8_1.JPG[/img] [url]http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2576420661&category=40108[/url] [img]http://i23.ebayimg.com/02/i/00/f6/cb/96_1.JPG[/img]
lboy1971 Posted November 25, 2003 Posted November 25, 2003 Was that tractor listed at $12K+ or $17K+? About 5 years ago I almost bought a NewHolland 1920 with loader and 150Hours. But the cold feet of another payment turned me back, lol.
SmilinSam Posted November 25, 2003 Author Posted November 25, 2003 $12,250 was the price to me. $7250 is the balance after the trade in.
AGCO918 Posted November 26, 2003 Posted November 26, 2003 Nice looking tractor ,Hope you enjoy it.Now is the time to have the fwd with snow around the corner.Post some pictures of you playing in snow when it comes. Agco918
Nubian Posted November 27, 2003 Posted November 27, 2003 Sam,That ROPS looks like it's bolted to the fender,what's underneath that tire well. Also is it foldable?
SmilinSam Posted November 27, 2003 Author Posted November 27, 2003 The ROPS is fixed in place can't be folded. The fender is actually sandwiched between the Rops and the Tractor upper rear frame.
