Does anyone here like tractors?

[Don Alaska]

Does anyone here own or like a tractors, especially small ones? I have a little John Deere tractor that I bought in 2008 to help us deal with the chores as we got older and the children moved away. The tractor in this video and the mower attached are incredible. Who knew Ferrari made tractors? Not me, and they even have a pressurized cab as an option to keep the dust and dirt out of the cab. An interesting video for anyone who like tractos.

Okay, so the person named Jake that joined recently is not the same Jake that we all know and miss here ? Hoping that Jake will have time soon to be here and join in the conversations.

No it wasn't Jake, but he is planning on joining. So guess we'll have 2 Jakes.

It would be nice to have your Jake on here as well.

Don, we just got a surprise from O'Reilly's, the engine was ready to pick up, so thats 4 days early. Jake is in the backyard taking it out of my van with cherry picker.
Maybe by next week we can go to the river since the truck will be running too pull it, plus the weather is supposed to warm up next week. Next couple nights here will be in the upper 20's, which is cold for November.

I have a few lawn tractors. Renters use them and destroy them. No more renters. I buried them with a loader. I have a good sized compact JD 350 with a loader, back blade and deck. But the back blade and deck are run off a 3 point hitch and we have no idea how to disconnect the pto etc. to swap them. I bought it from a guy who has since moved. He would have told us. I had a big massey harris but it was way more than I needed. I had to learn to drive it out of necessity but it only had a loader. I have an old JD sulkey mower that I may part with also. It looks fun but it is hard to work with.

I don't know the back blade run from the PTO, but the decks are common. This guy doesn't help much, but maybe....

I only have two attachments run from the PTO: a tiller and a snow blower. The blower is on most of the winter, but the tiller is only on a couple weeks a year. Things didn't get tilled this fall as it was too wet. We get very little wind here, so erosion after fall tilling isn't a problem.

Jake said. his bushhog drive shaft has a button you push to release it from PTO.
Do you see a button?

Don we were answering at the same time, lol.

 

[Don Alaska]

Most have a button, at least on the smaller tractors. I don't know how the big monsters work as I have never been around the big boys.

I think it is more like those adapters on faucets for portable dish washers. A simultaneous push/pull. But since I have to ask for help to open a tight bottle cap...

Hmmmm. Did not think of that. The three point raises and lowers the blade but why is the pto connected? It would be interesting if the blade spun. Maybe to roto till a really deep garden?
Thanks.
The next video after yours seems to be for idiots like me.

Don, don't give Jake any ideas, we're still paying for the tractor.

 

[Jake Smith]

Rode mine a few days ago, when I used it to pull my truck out from under the motor and trany, on the cherry picker.

Too late, he has good ideas.

I hoped @Jake Smith would sign in here. Tractors are a common enjoyment.

Tractors are a common enjoyment. It's like therapy, to me.

That tractor keeps tearing down my small trees, I'll be needing therapy.
But I do agree it comes in handy clearing large trees and tree limbs carring them to the field.
Mowing small brush and large areas of grass.
