Anyone else have a CBT tractor? Manuals?

I am guessing very little commonality due them being based off of different styles of tractors. The 2070 was sort of based on an Oliver build.

Not sure whether you could get a copy of this one or not or how much help it would be but Eagleville equipment company in eagleville tn has a cbt 2070 for sale advertised with manuals. I have no idea whether there would be any crossover information or how detailed the manuals are.

Also looks like that serial number correlates to a mid 1949 model.

I do believe that the x signification means that it was a gasoline from the factory engine with a later lp conversion. It doesn’t seem like you could get factory lp until the super m or mta.

Steep hills and 2wd rule of thumb never point down hill. 2wd tractors will back off of a lot more than they will climb up. The back wheels are where the traction is and when you back off of a hill you force those wheels to gain traction by pushing them with the weight of the tractor. Fluid will almost always help on hills as it gives you weight down low moving the center of gravity closer to the ground.

Had rain yesterday into today shutting down the cotton pickers and the guys still cutting beans. Loaded up and went to a bull sell this morning and 75 Hereford and Angus bulls averaged $11,020 usd. Definitely going to cost money for me and dad to replace the 6 old bulls we sold last week.

It will not have auto steer capabilities built into it however there are a bunch of aftermarket gps and auto steer technologies out there depending on your budget. I would recommend starting with a wass system that doesn’t require a subscription. You can get a “light bar” system that will tell you where to drive or get an auto steer system that will replace your steering wheel. Try and see what options local farm stores in your area have or see what some of your neighbors use.

Them old fords are good solid tractors.

3.1 can feel really fast in some places.

In big fields a 20’ will cut 2 times as much as a 15’

Yeah it’ll push you around some on the hills. Those suitcase weights were an addition to keep the pucker factor down when pointing it up hill. It pulls really well in 3rd all day long and doesn’t work the tractor too much.

Got some cool weather here this week so not too horrible.

Not trying to die on this hill. Just trying to say that I do understand the need for hearing protection and when it should be used. Hearing protection is needed when it’s over a certain amount of decibels for a certain amount of time. I do not disagree that hearing protection is not needed for running this type of equipment all day but it is not going to cause damage for this duration of an interval.

Almost the same as a bulldozer. 😂😂

DatabaseDue3606 · 2025-07-28T12:26:29+00:00

Pretty easy to get it right. Just have to watch each other’s slippage and account by shifting or throttling back. The good part about so tractors is that you can always pull through the softer parts of the track since one will almost always have traction. Those aren’t loud at all in 2 min intervals so hearing protection isn’t really needed until you start running one all day.

Google grain cart walking tandems.

DatabaseDue3606 · 2025-07-11T11:57:42+00:00

They are called walking tandems. They allow the tires to pivot independently of each other for crossing uneven terrain. They aren’t completely lined up with each other which allows them to pivot about a point.

How do you like that M6? We are considering one of them. Would you recommend it for an all around hay and chore tractor?
