truckin88 104 #1 Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Thinking of getting one for york raking and bush hogging. Anyone know anything about them. I love the look and it looks like parts and support are available. Edited April 27, 2014 by truckin88 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rock farmer 41 #2 Posted April 28, 2014 I know a thing or two about them. I have two. Plus two other very similar tractors. They are great for the York rake. But, for bush hogging? No live PTO can make it a chore. When ever you lift the brush cutter the pto has to be engaged for the hydro lift to work. Makes it a bit scary if kids are around! It all depends on wether you have long strieght runs, or, a lot of obstacles to work around. Joe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
js5020 111 #3 Posted April 29, 2014 Move up an era or two (jubilee or 600/800 series) get live hydraulics and on some live pto, overhead valve engine and a few other "modern" conveniences. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,967 #4 Posted May 17, 2014 I had a 1948 8N. It was a good tractor. Really good for pulling a blade or rake. My neighbor has used one to bush hog with for decades. I would rather have something a bit newer for that, but don't let anyone discourage you from getting one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
