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.
@@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.
@@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.
@@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.
@@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.
great video. really enjoyed watching this . I’m currently going through everything you showed in your video. really great content, please continue to show more work like this . good luck to you
@@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.
I’m glad you trusted your tractor and rotary cutter. You will definitely be amazed as to what you can do with it.
@@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.😂

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

That tractor needs a six foot cutter.
