There’s a few members here that probably wish you had a pimple on your ass and they had your chisel plow.  That’s the perfect size for medium sized food plots.

Always thought the 154 and 185 models were nice. Never had one as I've stuck to the regular Cubs and Super A/140 series since we do lots of vegetables. |

You could feel the tractor sorta jerk when I hit the deep hard pan with it. I had the chisels dropped all the way in, towards the wood lines of the field I got into some serious hard pan clay. But no slippage, no slowing down. Given, I could slap duals on the tractor and go from a 5 shank up to a 13 shank and probably be fine. It’s an old Glenco chisel. I rebuilt the entire thing last year. So it has brand new, wider chisels on it. Went up to a 4 inch wide one. I believe they’re 16in cutting depth. Brand new disks on it. It was a cheap auction find years ago. Actually at the time we bought it, we didn’t even have a tractor that could pull it. We tried to pull it with our 48hp new Holland and that was a joke. Just spun. Not enough weight. Our Deere 6410 pulls it fine. And the Case 140 is significantly over kill for it. But we’ve only used it... 3 times in 6 or 7 years. Every time we buy a new piece of property we end up resetting a field from corn to hay. I think we paid 2400 or 3000 for it at an auction. So not super expensive. Not the biggest. But we don’t use it all the time... works great for hay fields. |

Love the Super A! I have two Cubs I'm working on, a 1949 and a 1959. If I can get them both nicely polished up and working good, I'd like to sell the '59 and find a Super A.
Old tractors is fun!

   Followed the second disking with the cultipacker. And picked up stones. Had a 1/3rd of a bucket of stones by the end of the night. Glad I had a cabbed tractor this year. One more round it of it, will be followed with the planter. My dad was in the case 140 with a 16ft transport disk. I had the 3x older than me cultipacker. We’ll be jumping right into hay season either next weekend or so. Still need to go buy a rotary rake if I can find one. 30 acres or so back into hay. Pretty smooth. It was very rutted up from corn last year. If we reset fields more I’d be buying a till-all or such. At least bigger tillage equipment to match our tractor Hp. Interested to see how the 140 handles a 5x6 baler. Kinda topped out the 6410. After the first pass with the cultipacker I could do 9mph without being bucked out of my seat. So the old tech still works. After the second pass on the ends it was dead smooth. |

Exactly... I'm not a teenager, and I bought a tractor to avoid having to do shit like that anymore Well sense we’re getting technical I’m now longer a teenager and have several pieces of equipment big enough I don’t have to build contraptions for to reach the roof. I just push a button on the skidsteer and release the bucket and go over to the pallet forks and pick them up tilt them back and push the button once more all without opening the door. But if I would work for beer as a teenager just think what I did to be able to afford really nice equipment.

I am deeply considering buying a 75A, either open station or cab, but have no experience with these smaller tractors. There isn't a whole lot of user reviews/experiences I've found of these online either. It's either the 75A or JD 5075e/65E unless something else pops up or we decide to go smaller. I'm partial to red, that's every other tractor I farm with but my wife is definitely not. She did make the mistake of saying she didn't care what color it was. I will hold her to that. I didn't use a tractor today but I did yesterday - replanting soybeans with the planter. They froze a week ago and were some of the first beans we had put in with the air seeder, no till into bean stubble. Using the planter to replant so they're getting into moisture.  Attached File |

I really like the 75A. My previous experience with tractors has been mostly old green ones- 2640, 2750, 3020. I got the 75A new from my local dealer in Jan 2020. I've put about 170 hours on it- mostly mowing. I've had a couple small electrical issues- a low fuel warning light that would intermittently come and go (it finally fixed itself) and a dead battery. The tractor had been setting for about 3-4 weeks over the winter without any use. Talked to my dealer, and he said there was a software patch to fix it. They came on site to update the software and replaced the battery with a new one.
I'm only 5'8", 165 lbs, but the cab is really comfortable. And quiet. Great visibility, cold a/c, I have the power shuttle and it works fantastic. My only two complaints is turning radius and loader visibility. I have the wheels set wide because of my hills, and I'm sure that doesn't help with either issue. |

It'll mow a little over 9' outside of the right side of the tractor. (5' deck and about 4' extension) It does great on downward angles and getting under trees. Upward angles are a little more difficult. It'll also trim trees and brush sticking out into the road because it'll mow with the deck turned up 90 degrees, but it doesn't cut too high. (I'm going to guess about 6.5 ft) It's heavy- about 2,000 lbs. But with fluid filled rears and wheel weights, my 75A weighs about 10,000 and it handles the mower fine. |

Used my tractor yesterday to flip my 4x6' trailer over so I could do an axle flip. I was able to lift the trailer up on the back end; I used to tractor to complete the flip:
  Here's the trailer completely flipped over, sitting on my tractor forks at a very comfortable standing height:  Here it is in my shop where I'm disassembling the axle and suspension and positioning the new axle spring perches:  Here's a pic just prior to welding the new perches on. It should be obvious the ease with which this job was done vs. the trailer being right side up and on the ground.  After this pic was taken, I spot welded the perches onto the axle and then flipped the axle over again and final welded the perch sides like the OEM perches you see here. Easey Peasey. I've ordered a new single spring set; I'll use it to add a leaf to each spring pack to give it a bit more rigidity to the springs. This trailer will become my fuel trailer and I'll be right at the capacity of the trailer with both fuel tanks full (135 and 55 gallons respectively). Thanks for looking |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BPR: I really like the 75A. My previous experience with tractors has been mostly old green ones- 2640, 2750, 3020. I got the 75A new from my local dealer in Jan 2020. I've put about 170 hours on it- mostly mowing. I've had a couple small electrical issues- a low fuel warning light that would intermittently come and go (it finally fixed itself) and a dead battery. The tractor had been setting for about 3-4 weeks over the winter without any use. Talked to my dealer, and he said there was a software patch to fix it. They came on site to update the software and replaced the battery with a new one. I'm only 5'8", 165 lbs, but the cab is really comfortable. And quiet. Great visibility, cold a/c, I have the power shuttle and it works fantastic. My only two complaints is turning radius and loader visibility. I have the wheels set wide because of my hills, and I'm sure that doesn't help with either issue. Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it. I'm glad to hear the power shuttle works well, that's one thing I was trying to find out about. Ideally I'd have something with a smaller foot print but I like the weight of the 75A and where it looks to be and having that HP gives me some more utility. I also prefer a power shuttle over a hydrostatic. EDIT: I don't know if this is proper or not but I'll throw it out there for anyone in here with a Kioti. I bought the parts inventory from a Kioti dealer so I'm rich in hydraulic valve kits and various other parts/filters but I also have a bunch of service and parts manuals. I haven't been able to dig through it all yet to know what models I've got literature for but if someone needs a few pages or part #s I might be able to help. |

This trailer will become my fuel trailer and I'll be right at the capacity of the trailer with both fuel tanks full (135 and 55 gallons respectively). Thanks for looking! Nobody will hassle you unless you get into an accident or get pulled into an inspection station, but that's more fuel than legally allowed on the road. On your farm, have at it. |

Federal. 119 gallon tank, 90% capacity. So right around ~100-110 gallons is the legal capacity before CDL/Hazmat rules apply. |

I found a soft spot coming out of one of my creek crossings this weekend.
 Attached FileKinda a wierd deal. It was never a great crossing, but I've never seen it get this soft. Anyhow, when I stopped I was pushing mud with my front axel. Luckily, everything was solid behind me, so I could back out without issue. It seemed like there was no bottom to it, which was weird because this is the only way to access the back half of my farm, and has been for at least 40 years. My equipment may have gotten a little bigger, but isn't much heavier than what it's been for the last ten years. To give you an idea on ground conditions, everyone in the county is baling their first batch of hay right now. Things are as dry as they've been in the last 2 months. Anyhow, I decided the best "fix" with the equipment and materials I had on hand was to remove some of the crappy material and fill it back in with rock.  Attached FileSo I cut several buckets of the existing clay/dirt material out and put them off to the side. Then I laid in some rocks ranging from 30 #ers to 2" clean white rock, then tracked it in as best I could with my tractor. Aftermath:  Attached FileI wasn't real happy with my solution. I think the right fix would have been a highlift, or at least a big skidsteer, taking out more material than I did, the entire width of the road, then filling it back in with some big 6" clean white rock, capped with 2". My solution is currently solid in those two tracks, but if someone gets off of them, I'll be right back where I started. |

Most fuel companies will deliver a minimum of 200 gallons right to your location. It's cheaper than off road at the pump. |

 Koplin ATV basket fits perfect on the old Kubota with the aid of 4 u bolts. ETA: the orangle danglies from the ROPS hinges are industrial rubber coated twist ties. I use them to secure poles/trimmers/etc to the rops. The tool handles rest on the hinge protrusions and the twist ties secure them tight to the rops. |

Most fuel companies will deliver a minimum of 200 gallons right to your location. It's cheaper than off road at the pump. Looked into that several years ago. Two problems: - Fuel is about $.20 more expensive on a per gallon basis. Closest fueler is about 25 miles one way away (county coop). - They can't take their tanker truck down my one lane gravel road; there's on bottleneck they can't get past with their tractor trailer. If it was like a regular propane/medium sized truck; but it's a tractor trailer hauler. It would be great if they get it down here minus the cost issues. Minimums are 100 gallons and they deliver both ORD and regular gasoline. |

Someone wants your business. even if you have to buy a 275 or 550 tank, you should be able to recover that purchase with the better fuel price. |
