  1. I’ve owned a 684/2250 for a year and a half. Flawless, plenty of power, easy to drive. Traded a newer 395 CIH that I paid 7500 for , very pleased. Cant speak for other red models as the 684 and a 424 are the only twos I own. But if the rest of the lineup are as reliable as these two, my eyes are shifting from green to red on future used tractor purchases.
  2. Any opinions on the compatibility of this combination? Is the 3850 the red disk that IH had so much problems with? (Bearings, blades?)
  3. I need some advice on the ability of this unit to lift 2000-2500 lb pallets of seed. It has inside weights on the rears, I’ll check to see if there’s ballast in the tires. I do have implements I can attach to the 3 pt. if needed. I’ve unloaded on farms with 3020/148’s no problem, also around 70 hp. Just want to be sure before investing in a heavy duty fork attachment. Thanks, Love this unit, will it adapt to this next duty.
  4. Never seen one but anyone know if this unit was ever made in a toy?

    CIH FARMALL 95

    Great info from all, thanks very much. Won't need a loader on this one, the 684/2250 does a stellar job on moving big rounds and shoving trees out of the way. The 95's primary job will be pulling a mounted 8 shank chisel plow. The JD 5510 mfwd it will replace is 89 engine hp and seems perfectly matched to the chisel, plus the tractors are nearly identical in weight so shouldn't be an issue. So thinking of going for a test drive and checking out the cab and leg space. The pictures make this part very appealing, especially the flat floor. Thanks again!
  6. I'd like to get some opinions on these models. Seem to be priced reasonable for the hours and features. Don't know anything about Turkish tractors so a bit gun shy.without some solid recommendations. how do these compare with a JX95? They seem to be scose in horsepower and pricing. Primary concern is reliability.
  7. I’m looking at swapping the stock tires/rims on my 424 for 16.9’s. Will this create a problem? Assuming that there’s sufficient clearance to clear the fenders. Thinking 13.6 on there now.
  8. Thanks, have seen 25-28 w/o loader for comparable hours/options on auction time results for Indiana. Didn’t know about the TH feature. I’ll check it out. Thanks again Jake and to all posters. Each has been very helpful with a tough decision. Wouldn’t trade just to trade colors. But, I know they’re old, but acquired a 424 and a 684/2250 in last few years and they’re bulletproof and a pleasure to operate. So if I took a plunge red seems like the right direction. Before them, the last red tractor I drove was an H in high school.50 years ago. So I’m a rookie but certainly getting why your all so enthusiastic about this great line.
  9. Jake, can you give a range on a 2000 5510, mfwd, 12F/12R, cah, power reverser, 2 remotes, 1900 hrs. Auction price?
  10. Really good point and I do think about that. The current machine is flawless, adequately powered and 1900 hours. So you’re probably correct. I go through this after every long days in the field. Tight cab and I feel like my feet are straddling a refrigerator. Guess I’ll get through it. Uggh. But if I do anything I guess a JX95 would get a look. Thanks
  11. Thanks Troy
  12. Any IH 885 reviews? Getting a bit thin on HP but might work.
  13. I'm seeing alot of Farmalls for sale. What does "FARMALL" mean as it relates to CIH? Some all red customers say stay away. Is something like a JX95 a better unit to consider? Price range looks right. Wouldn't be afraid of an 886 if there are any mfwds? In process... The 5510 is not underpowered for my needs. Just maybe the most uncomfortable machine I've ever drove. Tight box cab, challenging in/out (I'm 6'2" with size 13 boot). A flat floor and a bigger door would get my attention. Thanks to all, we're getting there.
  14. Thanks Matt good info. Yes the 5510 has a low GVW and WB but makes up with mfwd. Still like the profile, it handles an 8 shank chisel well. So most likely a CIH? Like the IH stuff but sure not seeing much in 90 hp mfwd with that badge.
  15. Im thinking of replacing my JD 5510 (90 hp), mfwd, cab with a CIH or IH unit of comparable power and size. I’ve only owned red for 2-3 years and really liking them. My problem is that I don’t know all the models that were made being new to these machines. The 5510 runs great, comfortable? No. So must haves - same power, mfwd, cab. CIH or IH, 25-30 k price tag. Perhaps some long time red expert can give some suggestions.
