I am looking for advice. In about a month my wife and I are moving from Iowa City, Iowa to Akron, Ohio, a 560 mile move. Originally I thought I might sell my Case IH DX33, which I had just bought, thinking it would be too much trouble to move. I have since come to my senses and am wondering what the best way to move the tractor might be. I have a loader, finish mower, and rear blade also. Thanks in advance for the help!

And to answer your question Tom--I have noticed the same things you have. I love my tractor, but it does have a few things that could be better. I have a 3 point finish mower (6') and the rear hydraulic is so stiff that I can't raise and lower it without it being very jerky, so that I end up slamming the mower onto the ground all the time. It slams so hard I'm worried about cracking the cement in the barn! I know there is a spool to control the rate of movement of the rear hydraulic and maybe I should mess with this. Another problem is getting the loader back on. The lines have such pressure in them sometimes that I can't get the couplers on without releasing hydraulic fluid, which is kinda messy. All in all though, it is a fine machine that I enjoy very much!

I spent part of last summer fencing off the perimeter of our 4.7 acres so that we could keep our goats and dogs in, and also just because i like the look of a fenced property. I also used 48" woven wire and nothing else and so far the goats haven't cleared it. Everyone told me they would be over the fence like nothing but they haven't been over it once. I put our fence up without the use of my tractor as I hadn't bought it yet. A post hole digger fot the wooden posts would have been handy. Here is how I did the fencing: The four main corners had 7" wood post flanked by 6" wood posts (all in quick cement) with a steel (or wood) brace in between. I also flanked and braced any post that a fence hung on. I used steel t-posts everywhere else, with the exception of a
single wood post set in cement that I put right in the middle of my two longest runs (600 feet). I layed the fence flat and rolled it out, then hung it across the tops of every other t-post. Then i used a wench to tighten the fence about every 75 feet, clipped it, and moved to the next 75 feet. On the final pull with the wench i really cranked it. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have, hope this helped.
