I saw an implement for sale that looked like the basic make up of a cultivator, but it has "v shaped" cutting edges loosely attached to the rotating pto driven mechanism by large chain links instead of rotating blades like on a cultivator. It also has a heavy steel cylinder that travels behind these cutting edges. Is this thing a chain harrow or a pulverizer? OR something else. It is an older unit made by Ford & is about 6' wide... Looks like something that would nicely level land for seeding? Would a TC33D handle this thing?

I blew out a rear tire on my tow vehicle, fishtailed wildly and the tractor was thrown off the trailer, bounced, rolled over several times. The 3 point hitch was damaged, the rollover bars damaged, 3 wheels bent, the hood damaged, the radiator and fan bent, the left rear axle and axle housing broken. I now have upgraded my tow vehicle(traded a dodge dakota for a dodge ram 2500 with cummins diesel) and modified the trailer with a more secure tiedown system.
The insurance was a add on charge to the financing.

Right in my Kubota B2710 owners manual under the tire ballast section it says that calcium cloride (sp) used properly will not damage tires, rims, tubes. I thought that stuff was corrosive to rims and should only be used inside tubed tires. Anyone have any problems with it directly in the tire without a tube?

DITTO the hydro!
When I was pricing just the basic tractor I would always start right there, with just the tractor. When the dealer was done with that then I would get the attachment prices. Doing that would force the dealer to show a line item FOR each item. Some would give you the "out the door" price in one figure. What I did find interesting was the mower decks (and other attachments) quoted me from JD. The tractors were all within about $400 but the decks varied about 40% from dealer to dealer.

Anybody have a "rule of thumb" regarding rock size a 60" NH tiller will handle without breaking tines? Been picking all rocks at least 3 inch in diameter, should I pick down to 2"?<br>

The link below has pictures of the bent cylinder. If the link works. There are some things I do not understand from the posts above. If the cylinder was hardened why did it not break? It bent alot and does not have a crack of any kind in it. If it was not hardened properly why did it not fail before? I have done alot heaver diging in the past than I was doing when it failed. My dealer service manager says that air in the fluid would not cause the relief valve to fail. Well than what caused it to bend? I do remember one day after using the tractor that the fluid looked milky in the sight glass. A few minuts later it looked fine. With the backhoe on I can not see the sight glass. I will be checking with the dealer tomarrow to see what they have come up with.

Well, just signed the dotted line on a TC29, folding ROPS, deluxe hitch, R4's, live PTO and a 60" Landpride rear mount finish mower for $13,120. I couldn't find a better deal,I hope it's worth it! The insight provided on this board is great. I'll be back on soon looking for advice on a loader. Thanks. P.S. For all the standard TC29 owners out there my dealer provided me the engine panels that cover and protect the motor. My dealer agreed that removing the panels is a marketing ploy to give the tractor a stripped down appearance when compared to the 29D, thus, hoping that the consumer will spend the extra $1500 to $1800 for the D model. The frame near the engine is predrilled to accomodate the panels, NH simply removed them.

I tried the suggestions here and from my dealer (Carver who's been very helpful) but no matter how I adjust the links when the cutter is level the tail wheel is at least 2 inches off the ground. The only solution appears to be to lower the wheel which would put it on the lowest setting. What happens if this happens again? There are no lower settings after that.

I'm pretty sure the problem originates from a ravine that I have to cross frequently even though I'm careful to lift the cutter. However, I just cannot see anything that's bent or out of place (of course this is the only cutter I've ever looked at closely so I wouldn't really know). I'm think of taking the lock nuts off of some bolts to check if they're bent. Must be something I'm missing.

Art's post was interesting but I have to admit I don't really understand.

Thanks for all the help,

Bob A.

All,I would like to thank everyone who directly or indirectly contributed to my success in deciding on my tractor. I placed my order for a TC33D with SS, with 7308 loader 60" HD bucket with reversible bolt on cutting edge and a 72" mid mount side discharge mower. Final price before taxes $20,180. On recommendation from my father-in-law (family's been farming since late 1800's in MO) I decided not to get the calcium chloride ballast. He recommended to try the tracor as is go with the wheel weights if necessary. I probably will go with one of the non-corrossive (sp?) options if necessary. I have not decided on what to use for the loader counter balance, but since 80% of my work initially will be mowing my 3 acres it is not an issue at this time.Thanks again,Mark W.<br>TC33D w/SS/Loader/Mid-Mower owner to be, by then end of the month.

Thanks Help on my Purchase

All,

The literature I have shows the 60" 914a rear discharge with recommended tractors TC18 and TC21/21D and the 72" 914a rear discharge with recommended tractors TC25/25D, TC29/29D, and TC33/33D. I would think this is a recommendation because of the HP of the tractor. When I was working my deal, I initially had the 60" rear discharge and a TC29D on my quote. I since then went with the 72" which would be a bit wider than the tractor and allow for easier trimming, since the wheels of the tractor would not have to be as close to what I was trimming around.

just my 2cents...

As a farmer, my recommendation would be to use a disk & drag harrow. If you're tractor has enough power pull the drag behind the disk. If you don't mind the grass coming back after you level it, you wouldn't gain anything by spraying it. If the grass is tall, mowing it first may be helpful.

Stuart, Had an injection pump failure on my 820 about a year ago. I had my
pump rebuilt for $375.00 including a new rod by a diesel injection repair shop here in Atlanta. It only took about 3 days after i dropped it off. They told me all the tractors dealers in the area bring pumps to them for overhaul .If you
need their number , let me know. Mike. B.

Mark: I just installed a 72 in deck mower on my 855. The mower slides under the tractor sideway's and gets it's pto power from the mid point pto shaft. It took about 7 minutes to install the mower even though it was my first time. The mower will work with the loader attached. I removed mine so it would not clank around while cutting grass.

Paul, yes the JD 790 is an economy machine. But it is a well built machine also, just does not have the bells and whistles. I bought one 2 months ago and have not second guessed it one time. I have a 5 ft. box scrape and a 5 ft. Bush Hog SQ600 rotary mower. The only concern I had before purchase is the 815 lb. lift capacity of the 3ph (at 24 inch). This has not been a problem, even with the bush hog hanging off the back. I like the gear transmission, but I know a lot of guys like hst. Good luck. John
