Another New "G"

Interesting!

They need to git' their S*#* together!  LOL!  Not only do the members here have parts we sell on here for a G, we sell a whole darn G to if they want!   Steve@B&B

It sure isn’t cool looking like the G is. Just like all the other modern tractors out there. I will take simplicity and durability over electronics any day. How many of those new tractors of any brand will be around in 50 plus years?

Based on my experiences with an 8N plowing and moving snow 22 hp in the weight of an AC G would cause the drive tires to do more tillage than propulsion, e.g. spinning under load.

It reminds me of the guys  a bit north of me trying to make/sell electric riding lawn tractors. They sunk a HUGE pile of cash into it, only made 2 or 3, sold 1. Their price was similar.Actually I could buy 2 or 3 gas riders for their price !
I told the guy, you should have contacted me  earlier( he called about the electronics...) as I'd already figured out the ONLY way to make an electric rider is to take a gas one and modify. Heck even me doing that was less than 1/2 their selling price ! Seems Cub Cadet have an electric..so I've been told...

 For the 15K, I'd expect a hydrostatic tractor. Yeesh 22HP..ANY rider has that these days. As for ground speed, use a 'bull gear' setup, eezy-peezy. The trick with reinventing the mousetrap is to use regular,available parts and 'open' features than can capture a BIG portion of the market,FAST before the guy next door does.

yeesh.I just checked their G toolbar $$$ !!! Yikes. $145 for the adapters, $140 for the bar. I got 2, 8' bars sitting here 1/4" thick collecting dust. Too dang heavy for trailer frame.Be nice if they found a 'good home' before they find my toes...

I like my Hines H-1600 better looks like a G but has better hydraulics,two Cat 0 3pt
hitches, 16HP and is hydrastatic drive.Plus I got it and a parts tractor for a little
over a thousand$.

I have a 2018 truck and I am comparing it to a 1950 truck. Interesting marketing.

Thinking about this Tilmor thing, trying to re-invent the G....I saw advertised once a company that made a modern-day small pull type combine somewhat similar to an All-Crop 72, only a straight through machine, and it cost about $10-15,000 as well. I thought, "Wow! I could go buy 15 or 20 All-Crops for that much!!!"

I'd go buy a few A-C G's for that kind of money!!  They are still gonna be around in another 70 years....
What happens when their electronics gets wet? Or full of dirt?

You could buy Steve's G and get somebody to craft some quality upgrades to it and still have money left over!!

I got a dumb question guys,,,,,,,just how strong can a "standard fold down" roll bar be??

Not many veggies bein farmed on steep hills...

If I were looking for a good dependable new tractor, I'd probably go with the Oggun, first because it's simple and off the shelf parts, second, because of the mid and rear 3 point hitch.  This is only if I needed a tractor that worked every day all summer.  Of course it would have to be painted orange!  That other tractor won't be available until early 2019, if it comes out at all.

I never have nor will understand ROPS. Needed by LAW on all new tractors, NOT required on ANY ATV. So... if I get killed rolling over a tractor, my widow can sue the tractor mfr because teh ROPS is 'foldable' but when I get killed in an ATV rollover she can't sue ??
As for the G look-a-likes, I can see buying new..anyone fall over the cost of sleeving a G engine ! Sure there's lots around ( I had 3),but I'll lay odds a true  restored G would be close to a new 'clone'.
I just had a quick look at the oggun, interesting story behind it. the use of 3pt is great opens HUGE market...and price for their implements is AFFORDABLE. That goes a long way to making sales.
