Farming Tractors Transmissions

This includes Case, New Holland, and John Deere transmissions. This makes these some of the best in the world, whether they are originals or rebuilt John Deere transmissions, Case, or New Holland.

John Deere Transmissions

The Infinitely Variable Transmission (IVT) is designed to be easy to use while still providing a constant level of power and efficiency. The ability of the original and rebuilt John Deere transmissions to run at a lower engine speed increases the fuel efficiently, helping to ease the strain of higher fuel prices. What farmers like most about them is that they are easy to drive.

Case IH Magnum

The second option has the extra road gear to make it extremely fuel-efficient on the road. This allows for a maximum of 25mph and gives an 11 percent fuel savings. The last version has shift-through creeper speeds.

The farmer simply selects the option that matches the situation and the equipment does the rest. The third option is a 24x24 dual command. The power shuttle on the unit adds an underdrive gear for both directions. This model has a mechanical shuttle instead of a power version, giving four gears in all three ranges.

1947 Ford 8n

Manufactured by Ford between 1947 and 1952, at Dearborn, Michigan, the Ford 8N was a redesigned and improved version of the 9N/2N tractor line. The four-speed transmission was a prominent change made in the Ford 8N .The vehicle was more productive, sturdy, and flexible than its predecessors. The Position Control system installed in the Ford 8N allows implements to stay at a height relative to that of the tractor.

The Ford 8N tractors were equipped with automatic depth control, which allows the depth to vary. The four-cylinder engine installed in the Ford 8N generates 30 Horsepower. The tractor is equipped with a brake system with both the pedals on the right side. The steering wheel is also improved in the Ford 8N.

The tractor is equipped with new hydraulic touch control so as to avoid violation of active Ferguson patents for the position control system licensed by Ferguson. The Ford 8N was equipped with drum brakes and disc clutches. The fan belt cooling system built-in in the 8N tractor keeps the engine cool. A high-quality radiator has also been installed in the tractor. The Ford 8N became so popular in its time that various companies began manufacturing toys that were exact replicas of this tractor.

1947 Ford 8n

The maker of the product, Ford Motor Company, is commonly known as Ford. The America-based company manufactures automobiles and was established in 1903. Apart from Ford 8N tractors, Ford also manufactures and sells heavy-duty trucks, pickup vans, racing cars, compact cars etc.

The Ford 8N History

The Ford 2N eventually evolved into the Ford 8N, which officially started it's production in 1947. This was also the year the handshake agreement between Henry Ford and Harry Ferguson was ended regarding the three-point hitch. Ford would continue using the hitch, but would no longer give Harry any money nor would he call it the "Ferguson System" any longer..

The Ford 8N

This resulted in a lawsuit which eventually awarded Harry Ferguson $10 million or so. Harry went on to produce the 8N look-alike TO-20 and TO-30 but that is another story in itself... so back to the 8N. A completely new line of implements (Dearborn) was introduced. Some of the noticeable differences between the 9N/2N was the change in lugs from six to eight in the rear wheels, scripted "Ford" logo on the fenders and sides of the hood (reportedly this scripting did not actually start until late 1950) and finally, the absence of the "Ferguson System" patch which was no longer displayed under the Ford oval (even though the tractor still used Fergusons three-point hitch). The rest of the differences can be found on the Specifications page. Our intention here was just to give you a brief light-hearted look at the history behind these machines.

Used Kubota Tractors

Considerations when looking for a used Kubota tractors. Kubota manufactures outstanding tractors and it is possible to save some money by shopping for good used Kubota tractors.  Carefully inspect the tractor and verify that the engine and transmission functions properly.  Visually inspect the tractor for obvious leaks or other problems.  That important issue is what is referred to as "gray market" tractors.  Used Kubota tractors originally manufactured for use in Japan have been imported into the US for resale.  These machines were never intended to be sold in the US and often do not meet US safety requirements.  Kubota officially says that it will NOT support any gray market tractors.  Unfortunately, there are already machines like this in the US.

Used Kubota Tractors M5030

What this means is that anyone looking at a used Kubota needs to pay special attention to details that might tip the buyer off that a particular tractor is in fact a gray market machine.  Failure to notice this could result in owning a tractor that is not supported with parts or service by Kubota USA!  This would not be a pleasant situation when parts or service are needed in the future.  There are some obvious signs to look out for when inspecting used Kubota tractors.

  • Inspect all tractor warning labels and look to see if they are written in all Japanese.   Also, check to see if other identification labels (like serial tag) are written in Japanese.



  • Check to see if the tractor is equipped with safety features like seat belts, ROPS, or a PTO shield which is required on US spec tractors.

  • Look to see if safety decals are missing altogether.

  • Check tire sidewalls to see if writing is in Japanese.

  • Check if owner's manual may have a different model number than what is on tractor.  Make sure model numbers on manual and tractor match.

These are signs that a used Kubota tractor could be Japanese spec and unsupported in the US.  It might be priced attractively, but no parts or service support from Kubota would NOT be a good deal!

Type of Agricultural Tractor

There was no "Standard Worldwide Tractor design", but the design has evolved to suit market conditions. Now in the 21st Century with the globalisation of manufacturing and consolidation of companies designs are standardising more, but still require specials for some markets and sectors. The Universal tractor is not here yet.

Agricultural Tractor

Yet in the past a lot of tractors were very similar, even though built by hundreds of independent manufactures. Various attempts have been made to redesign the Tractor. But is main purpose remains the same; to transfer tractive effort from an engine into forward pulling motion to move or pull an implement along or through the ground, as was done by horses 100 years ago.

The basic tractor is 4 wheels, the two rear ones being driven and the front two steering. A Engine is mounted in between on a gear box connected to a Rear axle. Over time this set up evolved such that the Front axle mount, Engine, gearbox and axle looked like one unit to the casual observer, with Hydraulic arms mounted on the back. This basic layout has survived for 80+ years as the predominant layout.

Agricultural tractors have evolved to be a multi tasking power source, and implement carrier for a wide range of tasks.

The First real attempt at a Universal tractor was the Agreement by Henry Ford snr and Harry Ferguson to design a new tractor to replace the Horse on farms. The new design was to Incorporate Fergusons 3 Point linkage system which would allow the use of interchangeable implements. This was to eliminate the problem of every tractor having to have its own set of implements.

Agricultural Tractors

Early implements were just pulled along and were adapted horse drawn implements. A lot of these needed two men to operate, as one still walked behind like with the horse drawn version, this being very inefficient.
