Bud, What I heard was a general statement for the 4000 series. The Statement was from a JD mechanic/Shop manager, "the servo pumps have been redesigned to filter out more dust so they will not wear out so quick". David

The 2WD 790 has an overunning clutch on the PTO so the implements will "freewheel" when you push in the clutch. The 4WD has a 2 stage clutch (also can be called live PTO). Halfway down clutches the tractor, all the way down clutches the PTO. It is very handy when you need to halt foward progress of the tractor using the clutch but still want the implement to be powered (such as when you are crunching up huge amounts of brush in a rotary cutter)

I think one of things that you pay for when you get the higher priced implements is proper assembly and instructions. I have the King Kutter 5' tiller and I am not sure what language the instructions were supposed to be in but it wasn't the English I knew. Speaking of crankcase oil, they said to fill each crankcase 1/3 full. On one there is a drain plug that I believe is set at 1/3 but on the other there was no way to measure it except with a stick in the crankcase. Does anyone have experience with this?

The NH 2120 is a very sturdy tractor. Its success is evidenced by the fact that it has not been discontinued, but is still offered along with its new generation, the TC40 and TC45. The 12X12 Hydraulic Shuttle Shift transmission option is the ONLY one to consider. Extended clutch life is virtually guaranteed because the shuttle can be used to start, stop, and change direction. The multiple-disc wet clutch packs in the reverser will far outlast the dry disc clutch, given the same # of cycles. The matching backhoe and loader are built to easily handle the tractor's capabilities. Transmission, hydraulics, and rear axle all draw from a common sump. Bradco makes an ultra heavy duty backhoe with full-frame subframe for both loader and hoe. This set-up can also employ a crankshaft- mounted hydraulic pump and external reservoir. This rig is designed for commercial use, and is priced accordingly. Sims and Curtis are the two major suppliers of aftermarket cabs, I am not impressed with either. Laurin out of Ontario, Canada makes a very nice ROPS cab, though I have never seen one on a 2120; and they are considerably more $ than the other 2.

My Bushhog SQ600, 5 ft rotary cutter is rated as light duty with a 1" cutting capacity. We use it on a 25 pto HP JD 790. The construction is definitely much heavier duty than a Howse or similar. Bushhog's specs recommend 25 HP min. We have cut some 2" stuff with it but it bogs the engine down (and sounds like it is gonna break the cutter). Cutting tall thick grass at a fast pace will also bog the motor down. I think it is about perfect size for my tractor. 6 ft. sounds too big for your HP unless you like taking your time. I also thought it may be too heavy for my 850lb rated 3 pt hitch, but it does not seem to have a problem picking it up.

Jerri, I ordered a copy of a operators manual for a 5030 Allis chalmers. It is a tractor made by Hinomoto. The 5030 is a 2 cyl diesel 26 hp, where mine shows to be a 32 hp. If the manual does'nt help me, I may ask you for the readings.

Thanks Shelby

On Tractors the centering of the hydro is done externally or there is the ability to do it outside. If the problem is not external than it is internal. You have something that is loose and allowing it to float between forward and reverse.

Tom, I don't know who's brand you are looking at for the b'hoe to give you two spec's. I looked at the lines I carry and they give break outs on the hoe. The break out capacity on the hoe is what is most critical for output of the hoe. If you never hit the breakouts on the hoe of coarse it will have less stress and last longer between major maintinace.

Before you jump into a 3pt tencher make sure your tractor has the following specs:

MINIMUM Horsepower 25 30hp or more is prefered
Your tractor also MUST be a hydro drive so you can go slow enough to trench without bogging.

We also sell trenchers, and know from experience that if you do not have a tractor that meets the above specs, you will not be happy with the performance of the machine.

I have not noticed this problem on my 4400, but I do remember this happening on the fram tractors. It is caused by a small internal leak. With the 3 pt. controls seup to automatically keep the 3 pt. at the set heigth, when the hitch settles a small amount it raises it back up to the lever setting.

Craig,
I'm quite happy with the TC25, I've been running the 5' bush hog, 6' landscape rake with out any problems. I am waiting to borrow or buy a 5' box scraper. The 4WD is a big plus for me. I have the R4 Industrial tires. They are 6 ply, good traction, and have strong sidewalls to keep from poking a small brush stump thru them.

I have no experience with china diesel tractors, however, do own one of their 15 KW generators. This may not be a helpful comparison, as the generator is run infrequently in power outage situatuions. To this point it has performed well for my needs. It starts reliably with little problem and generates the power I need. As I said though, it is used infrequently and certainly not as frequently as I use my tractor. Keep in mind that the generators are shipped with a complete rebuild kit (rings, bearings, valves, gaskets etc.) as well as tools to do the task. I am in process of buying a used John Deere with low hrs. If the prices mentioned in the preceeding responses are in line, I believe I would (and did) stick to name brand. I've owned and tolerated a Long and before I'll do that again I'll shoot myself. My $.02. Best of luck.

$Droz, I'm a little confused after reading your post. Hope I'm not being over sensitive here.. Your last statement makes it sound like only rich people's lives are "worth" having it done "right". Maybe I'm missing something here, but this is just like the guys who I ride motorcycle with. Some of them act like they are sooooo poor they can't afford the phone bill yet alone $500-$1,000 in personal safety gear (Helmet,leather jacket,pants,gloves). Yet they just laid down $7k-12K for a new sport bike??? NOT to mention...a sport bike isn't a NECESSITY but rather a NICETY! I also cannot imagine anyone here is prying pennies off the floor to buy food. If we can afford convenience items, we can afford a fraction more to protect the most valuable thing we've got. Ourselves, otherwise...what does any of this matter.$ ROPS Question

James, I note you are in and looking around VA for a tractor. I am in NC and wound up going to Alabama for a tractor. If you don't mind the drive, you will save a bit. Beverage and OK tractor seem a bit high. I bought a Hinomoto E2304 with loader for about 8K. Ok lists this tractor for 6.2K without the loader. Affordable tractor is down in SC and they are a Yanmar authorized dealer. Visit the Yanmar and Grey Market clubs on Yahoo. There is a wealth of info there for these type tractors. Jerri

I recall my first day with a tractor, and I recognized a few safety things in what you say. There's a bunch a safety related operating tips here and on tractorbynet. Might be a good idea to read through some of the achieves.

First idea is ballast. Loader work without weight on the 3ph runs the risk of tipping the tractor on its nose, especially if going down a hill. Might be a good idea to put on the hoe. However, hoes are dangerous. There's a lot of safety stuff about hoes to read.

For most things, it's best to set the tractor so that if your hands and feet are off the controls, the tractor stops, or nearly stops. I have a gear tractor and set the hand throttle at idle RPM most of the time. I use the foot throttle if I need more RPM to increase ground and hydraulic speed.

Brake steering: Scooping sand at ground level with the loader can raise the front wheels enough so there is no steering. For general fieldwork, it's a good idea to make sure the lock is off the brakes so the tractor can be steered with the brakes.

It's a real bad idea to have any thing on the tractor but yourself.

I don't mean to take anything away from your enjoyment, but spend some time learning about safe operation. My cousins all grew up on farms, but I didn't. They grew up with good safety instincts, but I've had to learn them, and mostly by reading these forums. Even so, all my cousins and uncles have had tractor accidents, fortunately none that made lasting injuries.
