Did you check the Gearbox oil il the brush cutter...???

[@thegarveys]

Yeah I checked it before we bought it. I forgot to mention that in the video.

If you're wanting a second, smaller tractor to run the rotary cutter, I would suggest at least a Ford Jubilee or NAA or newer as they have live hydraulics. On 8Ns and older, you have to have the PTO engage to use the lift. Something to consider.

[@thegarveys]

@@316jd140 I was unaware of that, I appreciate you mentioning that. That is definitely something to consider. I have seen some nice Jubilee’s for sale locally. Thank you for watching as well.

[@316jd140]

@@thegarveys No problem. The main drawback with the 9N, 2N and 8N is the non-live hydraulics. Main thing is when you look at a possible tractor purchase, is to start the tractor and see if the lift works without messing with the PTO lever or the clutch.
I really like the blue 3 cylinder 4000. Also consider the 3 cylinder 2000 or 3000 which would be smaller than your 4000. They all came in gas or diesel versions and had options for power steering and Hi-Lo transmission, which aren't standard on these tractors.

[@thegarveys]

@@316jd140 Solid advice, I have never driven an 8n, 9n or 2n. I thought I have heard people in videos say it doesn’t have a live PTO either. If true, probably another reason it’s not a great option for brush hogging or finish mowing.
I have a rusted to death 861 that was on my property when I bought it. I have grown quite fond of that body style looking at it every day. The 3 cylinder 2000 would be a good option too.
There are always quite a few 8ns for sale in my area usually at a fair price point. That is what enticed me the most for a secondary tractor.

[@316jd140]

@@thegarveys That 861 would have been a good choice. It was the predecessor to the 4000. A 861 will have 5 speed, live hydraulics (all 801 series do) and live PTO.

I’m glad you trusted your tractor and rotary cutter. You will definitely be amazed as to what you can do with it.

[@thegarveys]

@@cspfitch Yes we are excited to use it more on our property. It is going to be a major help. Thank you for watching.

Itt is better shape then some of the new ones, once the store staff handle them with fork lifts and run into them.😂

[@WeSRT4]

That tractor needs a six foot cutter.

[@thegarveys]

@@WeSRT4 yes it does, I have plans to get a smaller tractor in future. I won’t be doing much mowing with it to be honest. I mainly use it for mulching up autumn olive, black berry bushes and stuff like that. The 5 footer is fine for now.

[@ripdinecola4755]
