"Yanmar knows how to build 'em. We bought this tractor when my son was two. He is now 33. The poor old thing has been used and neglected sometimes, but always does the job you ask of it. No frills, hard to get on and off of with the loader, turns well without the loader but hard to turn with it. The alternator is showing signs of giving out. All we have done to it in 30+ years of sometimes abusive use is change the fluids and filters sometimes and put a steering rod on it. That's all. She needs a new seat and needs the rust fixed where dad always let his knee rub on the fender before he passed on. Tractee is what my son called it. There never was a tractor to him and he would correct you if you said otherwise. The little machine is a part of our family just like the JD 820 diesel we bought new in 1972 that dad used and abused for 33 years."

"Father and uncles retired to 6 acres on inter-coastal waterway and the "rich uncle" bought the 750. Initially used to grade the road and pull a grooming motor, now just grooming mower. Two of the uncles have passed on, one 95, but the tractor is still hanging on. I have been here last couple of years and taking over the upkeep and other than being temperamental in starting, it runs great. I realize it doesn't have all that many hours on it, but good to see there wasn't any planned obsolescence on this puppy."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Gets the job done and has been extremely reliable. Cons: Proven to be tough to start, JD are proud of their parts and prices. Type of User: Homeowner 1-10 Acres Location: USA SC I also considered buying:

"When I was much younger, I bought this "huge" estate in Los Angeles. It was horse legal property within the city limits! Dam near a full acre! So, naturally, it mandated that I buy a tractor to validate my status as a farmer. I never had any animals, but would do a veg garden the size of a tennis court every yr. It's a 4WD, ag tires, and it came with a #67 FEL, Gearmore 54" roto tiller, Danhauser PH digger w/6" & 12", a Gannon roll over box blade, and I have since added a boom and a bedder-hiller. I think I'm on my third battery. Everything is orig except I did replace my front tires last yr. Upholstery needs to be redone, but still comfortable. The plastic 3-pt hitch (up-dn) broke but I just made a larger one out of wood and painted it yellow. Perfect. I've done regular oil changes but that's it. It's been a great farm hand. 18 mos ago, I retired to a "massive" 10 acre place in TN (half woods) and thought I might have something bigger/stronger. So, last Sat, I went to the Kubota store and got a 4WD L4600 shuttle, FEL, but no other implements. Will fetch it end of week."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Ultra dependable; quite strong; simple to operate, good "MPG", Cons: Narrow stance, high CG, harder to start when under 20 degrees. Type of User: Homeowner 1-10 Acres Location: USA TN I also considered buying:

"Well built. Starts every time. 4x4 is great but I need ag tires & rims for sure. The turfs just don't get you anywhere on the field but good on the lawn. Put a 67 FE loader on it. I like it for a utility tractor. Well worth the money you can find them for."

Pros: 4 wheel drive, fuel sipper. Cons: Would be better with a live PTO. Type of User: Homeowner 1-10 Acres Location: USA IN I also considered buying:

"I was looking for a tractor to help with snow removal and grading. I came across this JD750 at an auction, I was initially aiming for a Ford 9N, one was actually sitting right next to the JD at the lot. I didn't like the 9N much so I waited to see what people would pay for the JD, not even thinking I would buy. To my surprise, the JD went for a very low price, so I ended up buying it. It was well maintained, but had a few electrical issues, bumps and scrapes, nothing major really. I managed to fix everything up with minimal investment. A few weeks after I started using it the clutch fell apart, so a bit more work to get that fixed but it's been great since. I didn't ask much of this tractor yet, but so far it has delivered flawlessly and I'm very happy with it. This will be its first winter with me, so I'm looking forward to finding out how difficult it will be to start. The only downside so far, attachments for this size tractor are hard to find in my community, so I may have to buy new, but this one is a keeper, so it won't matter much in the long run. Parts are cheap unless you want them from your local JD Dealer. Very little maintenance is required, and this model has 4WD, which I hear will be great once I get an FEL for it. Operation is fairly easy, the clutch when adjusted properly works very well although even with 20 hp if not gently it will jerk real hard. A few times I accidentally stepped on the throttle pedal not realizing it since the thing is so small, but it is handy. The wide range of speeds to choose from is great for any job. You have a high and low range, and four gears to go with each. Top speed is about 20kmph. The brakes work very well and are super easy to adjust, all mechanical, so you just need a wrench or two. The instrument cluster lacked a real temp gauge and volt meter, but this was easily fixed with a $30 kit from Canadian Tire and an hour to install the two. The volt meter helps when you have a dying battery, which I didn't replace yet since it still starts with no issues. The seat is adjustable so this thing will fit just about any sized operator. ROPS came standard, and a seat belt too, so you should feel safe once you get used to it. Pulling power is more than what an average home owner will ever need. I pulled out entire trees from the forest without any trouble, something my ATV could not do. The tires have plenty of grip and with 4WD, I was able to pull old logs from the bottom of my river with ease. Fuel consumption is very moderate, and since it's a diesel, you can let it sit for quite a while, unlike gasoline which will clog everything up if you use the cheap methanol "enriched" stuff. Since it was built in 1985, it could use a new paint job, but it's not really a show model, very little rust on it, and most of the components are still factory painted with JD green. The radiator need to be flushed, and some of the smaller tubing was clogged up, but everything still works just as it should. Overall, for a first tractor, I'm very happy with this machine."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Cheap, reliable, easy to use, good quality, easy to fix. Cons: Attachments hard to find. Type of User: Homeowner 1-10 Acres Location: CND OT I also considered buying: Ford 9N

"Had a stroke in 2000 and traded my IH for the JD 750. It was smaller and easier to get on as I have a bad leg. Dealer talked me into a front end snow blower and I thank him for it every winter---we get upwards pf 3ft. of snow on average. Main use these days is snow removal, brush cutting, hay fields perimeters,and general landscaping chores. Works like a charm. Even when we hit -30 C. it starts up with only a little coaxing. I find that I am having a bit more difficulty getting on and off in the winter with snow boots and winter clothes. Leg is getting a bit more difficult and I now wish I had picked up a newer hydro-static model, but it is what it is and I am happy with the machine. Overall it is a good machine and I am happy with it. If only I could swap out the tyranny for a hydro-static etc."

REVIEWER'S ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Pros: Good power, fantastic front end snow blower, 4 wheel drive and a bucket means never having to say "shit I'm stuck". Cons: Any problems are mine not the machine. Type of User: Homeowner 50-100 Acres Location: CND OT I also considered buying: John Deere 2520

"I bought new in 1987 and have used it since then, I think I will probably own and use it until I die. It has been incredibly reliable and of extremely high quality. My only problems have been a few times the electrical contacts in the starting system have been a problem and I find that I should keep it in the garage or cover it with a tarp. Other than that I have replaced the tires once, the battery once, and I have lost the 4 wheel drive after a neighbor borrowed it and abused it getting a pickup truck out of a ditch. I have the front-mounted snow blower and have used that for 26 years---no repairs except replaced the impeller once. The #67 loader is maybe a little heavy for the turf tires and it is hard to steer with the weight of the loader. It is a comparative dream if the loader is off, then steering is light and easy."
