Lindsay Ontario used tractor parts?

That is a good philosophy. 90% of my farmequipment’s next move is to ipsco. Until then fix it. With the John Deere you maybe faced with abandoning it due to cost. Consider how many decades of service it has provided.
The new machinery will throw a code and you will have to phone the manufacturer before it does another days work for you, but you will continue to make the payments. I really have a difficult time understanding how we think paying to be a dependant on the manufacturer is progress.

This 3020 has run into obsolete parts from the dealer but so does our 10 year old spray coupe (which really ticks me off). Whenever we upgrade we measure our move up in decades instead of model years. Currently feeding cows with a 4760 that’s got almost 17,000 hours on it with everything original except the turbo, injection pump, pto clutch, and tires. A few of those hours was as our “wedding wheels” so a bit of emotional attachment too. 😉Depreciation and maintenance is under $10/hr which is fine with me. Just wish the cab was bigger for when the kids come with me..........

The economics of cattle production necessitate an "antiques roadshow" approach lol. I'm feeding with a 2955 that'll turn 20,000 hrs this month. If only they made modern tractors to last like these ones did!

Might not hurt to try these guys if you haven't yet. They wreck mostly green stuff. I've dealt with them a couple of times and they were good.

Isn't "John Deere wrecker" an oxymoron......unless you've seen SF3 operate machinery!

I’ll second that.

Added up our 8 main tractors and there’s 134,000 hours between them all😳. I still expect to hit the key on them and go do a days work with ‘em. A couple might need a gallon of tranny oil but that’s it. Nicer and newer would be great but I got land payments and kids that take care of any extra pennies around here😎

There was a salvage at Blaine lake I believe soecializing in John Deere not sure if they still do.

[MBgrower]

Good point.

Old are expensive to keep running. We spend so much rebuilding antiques it’s not even funny.

Bidding right now on a nice 6030 but I think it will go for more than I’m willing to pay. Not the one just reference

Whats expensive is 300K depreciation on a new combine after 200 hours on it

They are still in business as far as I know. The name is GS Tractor Salvage, talk to Gerry, very good people to deal with. I bought parts for my 4020 a few times over the years.

Alot of 4020 and 3010 and 3020s are on the internet and some probably close to you. Why not part out one of these. Maybe cheaper in the long run. Tires etc.

Checked them out along with about 25 others. I got the one from Ontario on a truck headed west so hopefully it turns out good. Found one through Worthington but it was going to be the same money but with the added hassle of dealing with a border crossing.
