Tbh I don't think the tires are pressurized right on the 4650 for that disc. Even in 4wd she likes to hop skip when you have the disc bottomed out, then again I do like to run a little too fast through a field sometimes without meaning too 
This is a old pic of it hooked to the plow....back when it still ran like it was supposed to  Mack R for scale

If they're empty, they tend to make for a rough ride. Also...radials, or bias-ply? Radials always gave us a better ride but cost more. |

I think their radials, the inners and the front's are new, the outters on the rear are the old ones that still had enough life in them when the machine was bought. As for ballasts I have no clue, I wasn't there the day the tech came out and put them on and don't know if their was any in them to start. Still, less then 4k hours on it doh so who's complaining

Howdy all. I was sent here by S2S.
New "tractor" owner here. Wife and I have been doing small animals and birds for about 5-6 years, and we just closed on a new 20 acre property, with a small hay field. The need arose to get a tractor and hay equipment, and I was looking for a Ford 3930, 4630, or 5030. Found a smoking deal on a 3930 that was local (all the others were 2.5-4 hours away), and I jumped. It had some goofy turf tires from being used by a parks service (IIRC), so I had to get all new ag style rims and tires. Went with 14.9-28s in the rear, with 7.50-16s up front. Made a HUGE difference. 
I got to work her for the first time yesterday. I hauled it over to the new place, and after I unloaded it from the trailer, I got my truck and trailer stuck in the mud (it's been a muddy mess up here for weeks). The ole girl pulled the F350 and trailer out no problem.

Serviced the Kubota and changed the transmission fluid. It didn't look too bad but I also replaced the hydraulic system filter and
Took 5 gallons of fluid exactly. Think the total capacity is about 7 gallons so there must be about 2 gallons left in the hydraulic system. Hydraulic system filter next to the new one

The previous owner maintained it pretty well but use it pretty hard. The oil still looked good when I drained it but I'm really glad I put the new filter in! There are a few pics of the tractor in use earlier in this thread. I rebuilt the loader cylinders so decided it needed new fluid. |

Well, I haven't used it for anything yet but I've finally got a tractor. I haven't used it because my wife @Naamah has threatened to stab me if I go off on the tractor before we finish moving. We just picked up 65 acres in rural Georgia and the property came with a John Deere 3038e. It came with a harrow, bush hog, and a plow. I have a feeling I'm going to get some use out of this thing.

That's how we clear paths that are logged out and it does save time and headache.......plus it can reach up and clear out any overhang. We just got tired of renting one and bought one used but hardly abused |

Excavators are pretty cool for taking out trees.
I had some not overly huge ones on my terrace, when he had a hoe out to put the sewer in asked if he could rip the trees out quick while it was there. Maybe up to a foot in diameter. He drove up to them and just reached over and plucked them out, it was awesome. |

No pics, but I used it to haul almost 800lbs of corn in 50 gallon drums. Having a tractor makes moving heavy stuff a lot easier.

I needed some rock and it was too wet for Mr Dump Truck to get there...
Back to my old method... 2 old bed liners and my trailer. Use a chain to drag each liner off the trailer. 
5600# I had to shovel about a bit out of the trailer to get it all unloaded. I'll scoop some out, then drag the bedliner to where I want the rock and then dump it there. Not nearly as good as a dump truck, but way better than shoveling it all by hand! |
