By Rey Dizon



When you need to load or carry things in an industrial environment, whether on a construction site or in a loading situation, you sometimes do not have the space that is needed for a conventional lifting device such as a large forklift. You need a smaller vehicle that is both capable of lifting heavy loads and also does not need a lot of room to work in. There is no point in have a vehicle that fits the environment that you are working in if it is not able to work effectively. It was this and many other situations that the skid steer was built to work in.

This means that the front two wheels cannot turn independently of each other and both need to turn in the same direction at the same time. This limits their ability to turn in a small area and means that they need a much larger area than that which they stand in, to turn.

Tractor Supply

By Damian Sofsian




Just like every other vehicle on the world market, a tractor definitely needs supplies. The transmission for your tractor also experiences wear and tear through use, so replacement parts should be on hand to maintain the vehicle.

A mount can be placed on your tractor to carry a spare tire just in case you need it. A tilt utility trailer may come in handy when you want to tow your small tractor.


For engineering tractors, a backhoe and a loader can be connected to the tractor. Other engineer tools such as dozer blades, bucket hoes, rippers, and other tools can also be attached to a tractor. By connecting the dozer blade, the tractor is converted into a bulldozer.


Specialized tractors like the road tractors; locomotive tractors or artillery tractors have special supplies that they need to maintain them.


Tractor supply companies are a subset of the automobile industry that caters mainly to the farmers and specialized vehicles that are manufactured for agricultural purposes. Many of them focus on tractor parts and farmer and rancher equipment such as tools, livestock feeds and farming apparels.


In these stores you can purchase tools such as air compressors, measuring equipment, powered tools, welding equipment, ratchets, wrenches, pliers and sockets sets. You can purchase batteries, fuel handling, lubricants, filters, tires and trailers to maintain top performance and make repairs. Aside from standard tires, you can also purchase specialized tires to increase the performance of your tractors. These companies also sell enhancements for tractors like backhoes and loaders for modifications.

Lamborghini Tractor History


Lamborghini Tractor History

By Brenda Williams



Ferruccio Lamborghini was born in a village near Bologna, Italy in 1916. His astrological sign was Taurus the bull. Although his parents were farmers young Ferruccio did not inherit their love for the land.


He graduated from a technical university in Bologna and went into the Italian Air Force during World War 2. In 1944, Lamborghini was taken prisoner by the British and assigned to work in the motoring department.


At the end of the war, Lamborghini was released and returned to his hometown. At this time, he saw that Italian farmers were desperately in need of tractors. Using war surplus materials, he started building tractors for his neighbors in his garage. However, his business prospered and he soon needed to relocate to larger quarters. He was now known for building the best tractors in Italy. He then opened a second factory, which produced air conditioning and heating equipment.


Among others, he owned a Mercedes, a Jaguar and a Ferrari. However he had clutch problems with the Ferrari and went to Enzo to complain. Some say that when he approached Enzo, Enzo refused to see him, which angered Lamborghini. Other sources report that Enzo did see him but refused to listen and told him something to the effect that a tractor manufacturer had no business criticizing a Ferrari and he should return to tractors.


First, he solved his clutch problem by installing a Borg and Beck clutch on his Ferrari. Then he decided to start manufacturing automobiles with the goal of surpassing Ferrari and proving that a super car did not have to be as temperamental as the Ferrari.


He employed Gianpaolo Dallara and Bob Wallace who had originally been engineers for Ferrari to help him with his new project. The first model to be produced was the Lamborghini 350 GT, which proved to be superior to the Ferrari in every detail.


The Lamborghini crest originated from Ferruccio's astrological sign, the bull and the Miura's namesake was Don Eduardo Miura, a famous European breeder of fighting bulls. The Islero was then named for the Miura bull that killed Manolete, the famous matador. Espana means sword and the sword is the matador's weapon. Jarama was an area that was famous both for bull fighting and motor racing.


Countach is not literally translatable but the closest meaning is wolf whistle and it has no connection to bull fighting. Lamborghini sold out his varied interests in the 70's and retired in Perugia.

Antique Tractors


Antique Tractors

By June Carr


I live in the country down a quiet two-lane road that is sometimes blocked by tractors. While I had ample opportunity to pass the tractor, in fact, the man driving pulled to the right and motioned for me to pass, instead I drove along doing barely 10 miles an hour, admiring this piece of farming history.


The tractor he owned were truly antique tractors; I never found out if he kept his for economic or nostalgic reasons, but he took care of her like a favorite child.


If you're considering purchasing antique tractors for work, you'd do well to consider the type of work you'll be doing; since owning an antique tractor is often times a labor of love, rather than a tractor that gets a labor done. On the other hand, if you're a collector, someone who appreciates tractor history and machinery built to last, an antique tractor might be the perfect piece of memorabilia.


If you're in the market for antique tractors, and you know how to tinker with engines, this might be the perfect weekend project. However, if you're like me, you'll want to bring a long a good mechanic, someone familiar with farm equipment, and preferably someone familiar with the antique tractors you're considering purchasing. Here's exactly what the rep did to ensure the antique tractor with mechanically sound.


Number one, he climbed up on the seat to see if she'd start up. He'd already said this would be the first test on the battery, compression and fuel lines, if she stated then test number one would be passed.


Next thing was to ask the current owner if it was okay to take her for a spin. The old farmer nodded his head, smiling to himself probably remembering the fields he plowed and the years that had past. I learned more lately over coffee and eggs, what he was actually doing was testing the brakes (if they had been mushy it would have indicated a brake job was due), in this case the brakes tested out perfect.


Here's a small piece of advice, if you're considering antique tractors, be certain to check the oil. If it's clear, that good; foamy you might have problems; dirty and it speaks to wear and tear, water might indicate a leaking head gasket.


Purchasing antique tractors requires someone who knows machinery what you need to find out is this; have these antique tractors been treated with loving care, or is it headed for the scrap yard?

Collect Antique Farm Tractor


Collect Antique Farm Tractor

By Shannon Medley


The mid-western United States has been home to many community and local "threshing shows" for a good number of years. However, the interest in collecting and refurbishing antique farm tractors didn't begin to prosper until the 1980's. This in turn, sparked even more interest and generated more devoted followers of antique farm tractor and antique farm equipment.


For example, a collector could be a devotee of Farm tractor and only collect and refurbish antique Farm tractor. Another person may be interested only in Massey-Harris tractors or John Deere tractors. National organizations began to evolve devoted to the different makes or brands of farm tractor, i.e., an organization devoted to just John Deere collectors and an organization devoted entirely to antique Ford tractor collectors.


Consequently, the magazine named Wild Harvest was devoted to Massey-Harris tractors and farm equipment, Green magazine and Two Cylinder magazine were all about John Deere tractors and Red Power was devoted to International Harvester farm equipment. Neglected in the magazines of the antique farm tractor was the equipment produced by the varied smaller farm equipment companies. In addition, no regular, formal clubs were created for the lovers of the farm tractor constructed by the smaller manufacturers.

10 Tips to Buy Used Farm Equipment



10 Tips to Buy Used Farm Equipment

By Robert Tate


One of the largest benefits of buying used farm equipment is the cost savings. On and off line there are essentially 2 usual ways through which used farm equipment can be purchased and money saved - through auctions or through equipment dealers. Do bear in mind tough the nature of auctions and that it's usually a case of Caveat emptor: "buyer beware".


There are numerous on and offline equipment dealers selling used farm equipment and machinery while aggregators of classified ads for used farm equipment list many thousands of pieces of equipment submitted for sale from farmers and dealers all over the world.


The price of parts (and downtime if the parts aren't readily available) can be prohibitive enough but in some cases might make the investment in a piece of equipment cost ineffective.


In addition to cost savings there are other advantages to buying used farm equipment. Here are some tips worth bearing in mind when purchasing used farm equipment.


1. Play by the book

Your best indicators of value on newer equipment are book values and number of hours on the clock, both of which you can get from the dealer manufacturer.

2. An imperfect world

Many dealers admit to the fact that most machinery owners do not take great care of their equipment. It tends to be a case that, if previous owners haven't needed to repair something on a piece of machinery, then it hasn't been repaired until absolutely necessary.

3. Aim low

Don't be too suspicious of equipment offered at a low price. Remember that used equipment dealers have lower overheads and expenses than manufacturer dealers, which often accounts for the difference.

4. All that glistens

If a machine has been repainted, don't automatically assume the seller is trying to cover up a problem. Check beneath the surface.

5. Brands and quality

Buy decent quality brand-name equipment and it's unlikely you'll go wrong. Unless you have plenty of time on your hands and you're mechanically inclined customized, heavily used or abused kit will end up costing you more than if you had paid more.

6. When you see a chance - take it

As a precaution check the item's paperwork especially if it is being sold by someone not in the used-equipment business for appreciably less than its book value.

7. Check it out

As when buying a car, check the engine for knocks or smoke. Check the bearings, knuckles and joints for damage or indications of wear.

A book price is just that - a price in a book. When considering the value of a specific piece of kit give it a thorough work over.

8. Trust your instincts

Warning bells might ring if the motor sounds odd or doesn't start properly.

9. Stay local

Taking into account hidden costs such as fuel, travel time, hired help, trailer rental and the income they could have earned while staying home you may actually have found a better deal by buying from your local dealer.

10. Look online

There are a number of high profile websites that specialize in farm equipment and machinery - search for phrases such as "used farm equipment " or "second hand farm equipment" and you'll find a number of reputable dealers with a broad selection of equipment.

Used Tractor Prices


Used Tractor Prices

By Jerry Minchey


The final step is to know the seven negotiating statements that will drastically lower the asking price of any tractor -- including the one sound that you can utter that will knock 10% off the price of any tractor.


Buying a used tractor is not like buying a used car. Also, unlike your car, tractors are relatively easy to fix.


The Internet has a wealth of information about tractors. When you get to this site, click on "Tractor Registry" in the left Nav. panel to find information on any tractor.


To determine the condition of a used tractor check to see if it has a tachometer that includes an hour meter. A lot of older tractors won't have an hour meter. Also look at the tires. Check for dry rot and cracks.


Of course, check to see how the tractor starts and how it runs. If the tractor is hard to start in warm weather, it will be even harder to start in colder weather. After you start the tractor, check to see if there is excessive smoke from the exhaust.


Seven negotiating techniques for people who don't like to negotiate:

1. Offer way less than you expect to have to pay. Some people say, " I will give you $5,000 for the tractor and that's it." These people almost always end up negotiating and paying a lot more.

2. Always gasp and act shocked and surprised at the other side's first price. Without saying a word, this lets the owner know that you think their price is totally unreasonable.

3. Never, ever say yes to the first price they quote you. If you say yes too quickly the other side will know that they priced the tractor too low.

4. "You've got to do better than that." Always use this expression sometime during the negotiations.

5. Use the "good cop/bad cop" technique. For example, say, "I would love to buy your tractor at that price, but my wife would kill me. She's dead set on me not paying more than $3,500 for a used tractor."

6. Arm yourself with information. For example, say, "I have checked eBay and other Internet sources, and tractors like this one never sell for more than $35,000."

7. Never agree to split the difference. The other side is almost always willing to split the difference, so offer less than half of the difference.

Don't forget that there are a lot of good used tractors out there, so always be willing to walk away from any negotiation.

Buying Used Tractors Online


Buying Used Tractors Online

By Robert Tate


There are of course some perennial checks that you would make before buying any piece of second-hand machinery or vehicle. Most of these are just as possible to make if you are buying on the web as if you were buying something just down the road. Once you have identified what you need then you may want to check if your favorite brand name produces it. Whatever tractor you choose it is necessary to check the availability and cost of spares and to know whether there is some expertise in the servicing of your particular tractor available nearby; this is likely save you time and money when you need servicing or repair.


As with any second-hand vehicle purchase it is wise to ask for documentation of the tractor's age, hours of usage and its maintenance record. Guide prices given in books ought to help you weigh up the price in relation to the depreciation of any tractor. Careful research beforehand, perhaps via the dealership of the particular tractor that you have identified, will forearm you with knowledge such as the approximate hours of use life expectancy of the engine of the tractor. All the big brand names are available online; John Deere, Massey Ferguson, New Holland, Case IH and others can all be found.


Before you opt for what seems like a bargain it's wise to check that spare parts are not prohibitively expensive for that model and that maintenance services are available reasonably near you. If it seemed incredibly cheap you might want to ask further questions regarding its maintenance record, general condition and whether it is due a major service.


Whilst online photos cannot tell you everything about a tractor they ought to give some visual sense as to how well a vehicle has been treated and its general condition. If you can buy locally you may strike gold in that you can pay Internet prices, generally lower due to reduced costs, and get a good look at your tractor first. Even if you have to pay them, it may save you money in the long run if they spot a fault.


If you spot your tractor of choice at a price you like being sold elsewhere in Europe then, after checking the back load transport costs, you may well find you still save money compared to what is available more locally; prices may be cheaper in other countries. If you do your homework and buy the best tractor you can afford, then you stand a decent chance of landing yourself a good deal online.


Massey Tractor


Massey Tractor

From Wikipedia


The firm was founded in 1847 in Newcastle, Ontario by Daniel Massey as the Newcastle Foundry and Machine Manufacturing. The company began making some of the world's first mechanical threshers, first by assembling parts from the United States and eventually designing and building their own equipment. The firm was taken over and expanded by Daniel's eldest son Hart Almerrin Massey who renamed it the Massey Manufacturing Co.


The massive collections of factories on King St. Massey expanded the company and began to sell its products internationally. The firm owed much of its success to Canadian tariffs that prevented the larger USA firms from competing in Canada. A labor shortage throughout the country also helped to make the firm's mechanized equipment very attractive.


In 1891, Massey merged with the A. Harris, Son & Co. Ltd. to become Massey-Harris Co. and became the largest agricultural equipment maker in the British Empire. In 1910, the company acquired the Johnson Harvester Company located in Batavia New York, making it one of Canada's first multinational firms. Massey Harris also produced one of the world's first four-wheel drive tractors.


Other members of the family went on to do other accomplishments: Vincent Massey became Governor General of Canada and Raymond Massey became a noted actor in USA films. The Massey family used their fortune to improve the city of Toronto, and many institutions, such as the University of Guelph, University of Toronto, Upper Canada College, Crescent School, Appleby College, Massey Hall and Metropolitan United Church, were partially financed by the Masseys.
