Hi, I am new to this site but am looking forward to being here. I have an older Long 460 2wd that going to be traded off for something that is 4wd. Any recommendations? JD

You'll love 4wd. Such a difference. I had an 8N before I finally was able to upgrade to 4wd. Wow! Normally you can go a bit smaller with 4wd and still get the job done ...but it all depends on what your job is.

What all do you plan to do with your 4wd tractor and we'll be able to better size it for ya.
Welcome to Net Tractor Talk!!!! :beer:

welcome to the forum - give us an idea of budget, size, and location and I'm pretty sure we can spend all your $$. (oh, yeah - you want new or is used OK?)

I have a small horse farm in nw Arkansas, www.chiggervillefarm.com, and use the tractor in the day-to-day operation mostly off loading round bales of hay and grading the drive. I am looking at used tractors and found a 545 Farmtrac with low hrs. I understand Farmtrac is out of business, so I am on the fence about purchasing one. What do you folks think? Your opinions would be greatly appreciated. JD

Welcome to the site.

I'm a believer in going with the brand that has dealers closest to you. I can see you are going to be putting alot of hours on it, so having the parts backup close by will be a blessing.

JD,
We are close to being neighbors :wave: I am at Grand Lake, NE OK.

My brother has a FarmTrac and plans on keeping it (wife likes it) and his dealer has no problem getting parts as other vendors have picked up any slack!

I did a story on this subject (with Pictures) on my site and should you be interested please check out: http://www.tractorsandlife.com/showthread.php?t=2580&highlight=Farmtrac

Best of luck and when I used it 2 years ago it was quite an impressive tractor!

Farmtrac was bought out by Montana, which is another brand built mostly by LG - so you should have plenty of parts available if you can find a "green" dealer near you. ;) (and yes, a lot of their models interchange everything but the paint, I'm led to understand)
