The market for 8N's is pretty strong here as well. You can get a decent running, mostly all there tractor for $1500. A nicely done restoration (rust removed, holes and dents fixed and automotive type paint) with everything else OK (tires & wheels good, hydraulics work, good oil pressure, little smoke) might fetch $3000. But then you may end up spending $500 on a modest restoration job, plus your time, and hauling it back and forth...I'd say you would be ahead to take the $1500 now. Unless you really enjoy the resto process. Maybe you could fix the mechanicals where it is now without hauling it.
From a buyers point of view, I've been following Farmall Super C's for more than a year now. I resto'd an A last year, so I know pretty much what it would take to do another Farmall. A good, unrestored Super C might bring $1000-$1200; the same tractor with a very nice paint job wouldn't bring $2500. I'd rather have the unrestored one for $1000 than an already done restoration for $2500; and I would put a paint can restoration job dead even with the untouched one. Actually, would rather have the untouched one rather than one where somebody has sprayed over the grease and rust. Just my two cents.
If you bring her home and start working on her, you might just decide to keep her!
Good luck,
Bill

1. I wish I had an auto-bleed system, didn't know there was such a thing. Not a huge deal on my TC29 to bleed the lines, but can't avoid getting diesel all over my hands and the grass, have to get a wrench, etc.
2. The block heater for mine was only $25 or $30 from the parts department. They didn't get it in before delivery, so I installed it myself. Pretty easy job, took about 1/2 hour. It shouldn't take an experienced mechanic at the dealership long to install one.
Good luck,
Bill

Not being able to see it but about 8500 for it would be fair.

They are a good unit and with the ability to go down nine feet you won't have to move as often. They also had a hydraulic connection available to run up to a three hundred pound hammer off the hoe. Can you narrow your request down a little?

You can use the back blade you have now with a hydraulic top link.
I can give an example of how mine works.
I have 2 control levers on the right side of my seat just in front of the position control lever.
These levers control anything plugged into my rear remotes.
I mostly use mine for a hydraulic top link and hydraulic tilt cylinder.
If I have a boxblade or backblade attached to the 3 point, I can angle it ahead or back to control the cutting angle of the implement, I can also control the tilt angle, on the go, from the seat.

Oil filter is a Fram 3593A and the fuel filter is from NH part #A20520. I use mine to pull a 5' finish mower and use it to mow a cemetary and my 1.5 acres. Also use it to pull a 4' hog but is not heavy enough in the front to lift it and have good traction w/front wheels. Have a 5' blade that works great!! My only complaint is the lift arms sway into my cleats on my rice patty tires. AM having trouble with my lift switch or my solonoid right now so can only pull my wagon to haul wood and boys in it. Built a bucket for the back and used a hydraulic cylinder for the top link to use with the extra hyd outlets. My eyes were too big and it holds more than the front can ballast. Thought about filling the front tires but wasn't sure the cost would be worth it. Hope all this helps. I have put 350 hrs on mine in 5 yrs.

spend the extra money and get the loader. Thats the only reason i bought mine. Its a forklift, crane, power wheel barrel, excavator, snow removal tool, etc. You use it for more thing than you can think of right now. The resale value is much higher when you have a loader. Because homeowner only buy tractors with MMM to cut the grass and play with the loader. It real hard to talk the wife into letting you buy a tractor with a loader, but real easy if theres a mower becaue you can cut the grass with. Were as Me, use the loader to make living and never use the MMM. But will take them, because we can't give them away to homeowners with out a MMM when we try to resale them.

Sounds like you are making a logical decision. Since it was obvious to me from your post that you are not necessarily shopping for a new machine, the suggestion of going over to a Kubota dealer to trade a used JD X series for a new BX sounds like it came from a Kubota dealer. That suggestion is a completely different logic than you have applied, i.e. comparing the cost of your loader add-on for your X to the cost of trading in on a good used 2210. You can go ahead and talk to the orange dealers in your area if you think the cruise conrol is worth it. Make sure you price out a NEW 2210, or a 4110 which is much more machine than either the BX or the 2210, as well. It'll cost you quite a bit more than the deal you are considering. I'm not sure I see any other features besides the cruise on the BX that beats out the 2210. Please come back and post your findings if you do shop brands and price. When I went from a JD 445 to a sub-compact, the Kubota dealers basically told me (with their trade-in values) that they were not interested in having used green machine in their inventory. Remember, some folks on these boards sell the brands they recommend and might not really be considering your best interests. I owned a 2210 for over a year and chose it for its greater 3-Point capabilities, more user friendly loader and mower attachments, and more user friendly loader control and hydro pedal features over the BX (just my opinions). I'm sure you would be happy with either, but I can personally recommend the 2210 as a past owner.

At idle speed on the low side range, he can get it to go into gear without much trouble. If he desires to get it into gear on the high side, he has to have it moving before jamming it in gear or it will kill the engine. But once in gear, it will run just fine. Plenty of power but even with the clutch engaged, under a load, it will not break loose.

If the machine is brand new, I would say the price is pretty good, but if it is used and returned then no.

OK, I just got back from my neighbor's and his 790 sway bars are set up the way I think mine should be.

I posted a pic of the existing situation as my pic #1 (oooops, replaced my original pic #1).

Bliz, you're right that the change will be subtle, but it may change the angle of the draft links enough to be useful for a wider range of implements, as well as making the sway bar work better -- right now it doesn't do a heckuva lot.

The good thing about the Integration Engineering system is it has a position indicator and a tilt indicator so one can use the tilt in either direction or in a single direction like you do.

Hey guys, a big thanks to all of ya for the timely replies.
I was hoping the mileage would be more in the 15 to 17 range. I have a 1996 chevy ext cab 1500 with a 5.7 and it consistently gets 18 on the highway when I'm not towing but, it does not have power to tow my 4500 TYM with loader and backhoe and two axle trailer very well. I live in a hilly area. I guess if I want more pulling power AND higher fuel mileage I have to go diesel. I know the up front cost are higher on the diesel but what I'd like to know are the maintenance cost higher on diesel than on gas? I keep my vehicles for about 150 to 200,000 miles before replacing.

This morning's Eau Claire Leader Telegram (Wisconsin) had a story about a man who operated a tractor salvage business in Dorchester WI. Over the years he bought hundreds of toy tractors in his visits to implement dealers. He recently died and his sister found almost 5000 toy tractors in his house, most of them are still in their boxes. <br>
<br>
I couldn't find the story online yet but I found a link to the auction service that will handle the sale. There are a few pictures and a complete inventory. The auction will be next weekend.<br>

Hello mcsd
I am a week away from signing papers on a tc40/w fel.
After you add on a quick tach F/ROPS, tires,
HD bucket,block heater, deluxe 3pt,extra rear hyd. valve,
I am coming up with between $18,350 and 20,500. Now I am supposed to be getting the employee dicount but there still is a huge difference price for the exact same tractor. The base price of this cut looks real good but throw on all the extras and its gets up there real fast.
Anyway, I am in Wisconsin and that is what I am coming up with. One more thing, I will find out more this week now that the farm show is over with down south but I hear that in March they are planning to release a cost savings plan, dont know yet what it will be but as soon as I find out I will let you know. Theyt keep real tight lipped on marketing promotions and it takes an act of god to get someone in the know to talk. I have a person real high up doing some digging for me.
Good luck with your purchase.

I did not even think of that. So I will have them fill the tires, I suppose if they have been filling them for 50 years it cant be that bad. A guy can get nervouse reading all the posts on the tire forum about leaks. If you look at the tractor weight from the factory it dont look that impresive, but then you add the loader and weighted tires and bucket and you are getting up there fast.
Thanks again
