    Choosing a used tractor

    Hi guys. Very long time no see. I had a B4200 years ago and joined up for advice, you were all really helpful. Well things with work changed and I sold it to part fund a Unimog project.

    Hydraulic pump specifications

    Hey guys. Having read through all the manuals I have for my B4200 I cannot find any mention of the flow rate and pressure of the hydraulic system on my machine. I would like to run a log splitter with it and although 12hp is enough power to run a pump of the necessary size, I'm unsure whether...

I just went out last week and bought myself a used B4200 with a mid mount deck and now I'm trying to learn how to get the best from it and look after it properly. I came here after...
