Moulder,
I am gratified that there is a change at Lenar. I look forward to "HICK" reporting on how the new regime took care of his obvious problems before I go ahead with my Lenar purchase.

Hey I'm considering a NH, is it a good choice. I have steep property with rocks, needs lots of work. I was cosidering a 35 horse nut have read many posts that I should probably consider a 45 horse. You guys with NH's would you buy one again? I am comparing NH to a Kioti TLB package.

There was a manufacturer that made a extendahoe for compact tractors. Does anyone have the name of the manufacturer and has anyone used one on a compact? On a full size hoe they are a real advantage but on a compact? As I recall there was only a $1000 up charge over a regular hoe.

The 790 is really a Yanmar in green paint. These tractors may be assembled here now but originally they were straight from Japan. The 750 is essentially the same tractor frame with a smaller motor.
My biggest problem with the 750 was the dry brakes. I had problems keeping the brakes on it. I would ask your family what they think of the dry brakes on a tractor. I have had 2 tractor with and 2 with wet brakes and I don't believe there is any comparison.

Item number 5 in the diagram is a nut that needs tightening to adjust the friction on the lever. If you tighten it a half turn or so , it should solve your problem.

Thanks DR and Lion for the posts, phone numbers, and advice.

If Deere HQ will not back up the alternative starting procedure, then it will be going back to the shop. At the shop, I would have them check for what DR was alluding to: BAD FUEL. I checked on the pump to make sure that the diesel that was purchased meets or exceeds the specs in the manual. I have used a diesel additive, but only at the recommended rates.....maybe more is needed. I am a bit worried about condensation; it gets very humid at times, and then cools down dramatically. I've tried to keep the tank topped off as much as possible to avoid condensation, but the fuel may be absorbing some still. The fuel bowl/filter show no signs of water or debris, but this has not been changed since the tractor was purchased.

I will also call Lion's reference at the 800 number...with mechanics and doctors, always good to get second opinion!

Well....we will take it one step at a time. Hopefully it's nothing terminal. It runs so good once it's warmed up....chasing the pigs around the farmyard has never been so much fun!

Greetings All,<br>
We have decided Cost vs application and will be getting the Deere LX-280 lawn tractor for $4100. 42 inch deck to mow the 5 + acres of lawn my mom and I have combined (she built next to my place)I would have liked to gone with the GT-235 48in deck but the 5300 is just too steep.<br>
I must say this is for my moms lawnlady and my wife to use as they are afraid of the 790 and finish mower which work fine for me but I cant do it all the time especilly since I am working for (Dare I say?) FEMA and this is our busy time. Any thoughts on the LX-280?<br>

I believe that "TITAN/CARLISLE" makes what you are looking for. Try "Cedar Rapids Tire Co."

I would 2nd Ken's reply. I don't think you will be disappointed with either tractor. Just a side note on the Deere 790. I think a more accurate comparison if you can compare the 790 and L3400 would be the Deere 990 and the L3400 in my opinion. The 990 is also a very stout and reliable machine as well for not that much more money. The L3400 HST with 27.5 pto hp vs. the 990 4WD gear shift with 35 pto hp. at an MSRP cost of $16,879. You should be able to buy the 990 for around 10% to 15% off MSRP, which would put the two machines at about the same price. The 990 4WD is a little bit large machine so I am not sure if would work for or against your intended application. I think 35 pto hp is a very versital pto hp range that would cover a wide range of applications and allow you to expand into future applications. Anyhow, good luck and let us know what you decide. Bottom line is that you are the one who needs to feel satisfied and comfortable using whichever machine you decide on. Again, I don't think you will be disappointed with any of them.

I forgot to add, the New Orleans folks have help in moving to other states and starting over at designated shelters. I haven't heard of any of that for Mississippi, Alabama or other areas in Louisiana. The ones that made it to Iowa from Mississippi or Alabama did it themselves. The ones from Louisiana had a chartered jet.

The ssmallest haybine New Holland makes is a 7' model. I Believe that will be pushing the limits of the 7800.

As far as a bigger tractor you can find Ford 4000 or 5000 tractors pretty regularly at a cheap price and these are diesel.

In that HP class, nothing will be inexpensive. Have you considered buying a used machine and making repairs/overhaul as required? Of perhaps doing this with your current machinery? I realize that overhaul and repairs will also be expensive but not nearly as costly as making payments on a new machine.

You mentioned mowing. Do you have a lot of trees to mow around or is it wide open? I have many trees and am glad I switched from a gear shift to hydro. I use mine to mow as well as move dirt, rocks, etc. I have JD 4310.

Try to think through how often you would have to hit the clutch on a gear shift for the work you want to do. Otherwise, the choices you have listed are all good.

I agree that the hydro is great but they do cause a drain of hp. I think you want a minimum of 25 pto hp to easily handle a 5-ft brush hog so between these machines I'd probably go for the L3400 hydro. If budget is a huge issue the 790 would do. Dealer support is extremely important so factor that into your decision too.
