Dear Dave,<br>
<br>
There are many variables that can cause premature clutch wear; improper operation (riding the clutch being the most common), defective parts (not likely knowing Mitsubishi’s quality), improper maintenance, and type of hard service (severe). <br>
<br>
I know of one 7264 (the replacement model for the 7234), looks like a wreck, but has over 1300 hours and the clutch is strong. Another 7264 that looks showroom new, also used commercially, has gone through three clutches with only about 500 hours on the clock. The dogeared Cub is used mostly for mowing very large acreages, while the nice looking one is used in landscaping: loader work, backhoe work, moving heavy rocks and balled trees into position, etc. <br>
<br>
Regardless of the way they look it is the severity of use that sets them apart. So if your machine isn’t in severe duty, then I’d look to the other possibilities that I mentioned. Not knowing all of the details of your operation I can only guess, and my guess is you have either a case of improper maintenance or faulty parts.<br>
<br>
I hope that you took the time to completely read and fully understand the excellent owner's manual that came with your tractor. Pages 120 and 121 describe the TWO adjustments to the dual clutch found on the synchro transmission units that must be made every 200 hours of operation. <br>
<br>
Is it possible that you missed one of the two adjustments? Step one is to adjust the Free Pedal Movement to within 0.8 to 1.2 inches. This will ensure that you do not wear out the disc (friction plate) early, or cause hard shifting. Follow the instructions to the letter, don't forget to torque the rod nuts to between 32 and 40 lbs ft. <br>
<br>
With that done, you must go to Step two and adjust the Maximum Pedal Movement to between 4.9 and 5.1 inches. Follow the illustrations paying careful attention to the placement of your ruler, improper measurement is the number one cause of poor performance. Could you have measured wrong? Have a helper push down on the pedal while you measure - measure twice.<br>
<br>
You shouldn't need to replace the clutch for at least 1500 to 2000 hours in light duty use.<br>
<br>
A final note of caution, please don't attempt to replace the clutch on your own. This repair requires two factory tools: CAS 2169 for alignment and CAS 2170 for total height setting. You must split the tractor, support it fully, during the repair, and you really should have an experienced Mitsubishi / CC mechanic examine the parts. You may find that you have excessive run-out of the flywheel, the clutch cover assembly bolts may be loose, and that the disc is not mating properly, check to ensure that the clutch arm is not rotating on its shaft. The arm must rotate the shaft, not spin on it. Any of these could also cause or contribute to your problem. <br>
<br>
I can't think of anything else so I wish you well. I often read the posts here and I'll try to respond should you need more help. Best of luck!

Ref the Brute Chipper-unknown what caused the problem but it began by slipping the belt off the small top pulley and ended by braking the belt and jamming the pulley which caused? , the pto shaft to twist and bend. It is probably just a freak thing and the folks at Mackissic are really interested in correcting/identifying the problem-the people there are especially helpful and sincere in providing a good product so I suspect they will find the prob. In the meantime I still haven't purchased or decided on a make or model but it looks like one of the Danuser's in the 3000. range would fill the bill.

I have been skidding logs out of the woods for almost 40 years with a similar (almost exact) arrangement, and have never flipped a tractor yet. The front end will get light and sometimes one must steer using the right and left brakes. But the tractor is usually in a low gear (higher gears do not have the power needed) so when the load is too great or the log gets caught on a stump (couldn't get all the limbs off close to the log), simply lowering the 3pt will keep the front end on the ground. Also, one can stop pulling and the front end will go back to the ground.
It is a very slick way to move logs. The logs get very little dirt on them, although I clean the bark off or at least the dirt off before sawing or bucking the logs after skidding.
This e-bay item seems a bit expensive, but the tongs (if they are good ones) are about $100, and the steel frame is probably another $100, so with labor and a bit of profit the price is in the ball park. Any good 3pt quick hitch will have the hook at the top and be open to hold a log, so all one needs is the tongs.
Yes, there is a danger here. But it isn't as some want to hypothesize it. In my experience, the FEL is much more dangerous and uncontrollable when the rear end gets light and the load is high. Nothing like that with the 3pt log lift. Just FYI. No one needs to try this because it works for me.

I have a TC25D equiped with a 60" NH MMM. The mower works great. It gives a nice clean cut for something this size.<br>
<br>
I agree with pretty much everything the previous poster said except for the mounting/unmounting time. It usually take me between 30 minutes to an hour to do. Now, I have not tried turning the wheel method yet (because my dealer showed me the way to clear the MMM gear box by using the FEL as a jack). That could very well cut it down to 15 minutes -- assuming that it'll work. One other difficulty is that the rear rollers do not roll sideways.<br>
<br>
My other comment would be the following:<br>
- be warned not to use it for any heavy grass mowing. I just had the drive belt snapped by going through some high heavy grass/weeds. I also have lost a couple of mounting dowel pins.<br>
- the mower is quite maintainable; all the lube points are easily accessed. Without flipping the deck over and judging from the cut, the blades seem to be holding up quite well for three seasons.<br>
- since there are no independent mechanism for rear and mid lifting, changing position of one will change the other as well.

Go to the Implements section and note the recent post on an attachment to skid logs. That may help you.

I think I have a submersible pump in my well. No one can tell me for sure as the hole is almost three hundred feet deep and the pump has been down that hole for thirty years. Maybe it is time to plan a replacement before my shower becomes a dry cleaning operation too.

Morgan? What is the point of the post? I know what a real loader can and can not do. I real commercial loader is not much of a landscaping tool. It is a little large to have around the house. About a month ago my neighbour brought one home from work to move the remains of a large tree from the yard. I helped him cut them up and get them out.
I had a couple of stumps that were sitting in areas I was seeding and one on the lawn from a blow down. Believe me you do not want a real loader on the lawn.
A small tractor is a multpurpose tool. If you were a full time landscaper you might want a skid steer or small tract loader like a Dingo, Bobcat or Ramrod. The contract mower would want a zero radius turn mower for finish work or a larger 4x tractor for road work. My point is that you are always going to find a better piece of equipment for a dedicated task. A compact utility tractor is just that a tractor with many uses.
The question is whether you want a HST or not. Where does the HST have advantages, finish mowing, moving earth, leveling earth. Where does it have its disadvantages? Field work? plowing harrowing etc.
According to the people in the know we are not giving up reliability for the HST only a few HP to the wheels.
It seems to me that americans have been doing this for years in their cars for convenience. At least in the tractor it is not wasteful as it actually lets you get more work completed in less time.
If you are looking at 15 hp tractors then you are on the wrong board those are sold as subcompact tractors or garden tractors.

The 2910 seat would be the easiest but yet not air but a better seat. The 3010 seat with a little work will go on but that is not an air seat either but a better seat. I don't know of an air seat that would go on as normally the pump is underneath and it would raise it considerably compared to the std seat.

Amerequip OEMs their backhoes to John Deere, Bush Hog, and Great Bend. If you visit each of their sites, you will notice the similarity between all of their backhoes. I stumbled across this while doing some research on the Bolens Iseki Diesels. When Amerequip was Arps in the early 80s, they also made blades for the Bolens 2-cyl diesels. Check out the last paragraph in the Company Profile tab if you don't believe me!

Welcome to the world of JD dealers and name brand attachments. My dealer charges full list price for any attachmnents, and the JD list is MUCH higher than other brands. Hopefully someone can speak up and tell you who makes the JD hoe, and you can buy it from the manufacturer or from a dealer. This should same a few bucks from the JD price.

I was in the same situation a little over a month ago. I settled on the JD990 and the TC40. I loved both, but bought the TC40 since the NH dealer would come down more than the JD dealers around here. The TC40 also had an independent PTO which is really nice compared to the Live PTO on the JD990. I've used and continue to use both independent and live PTOs on my father-in-laws farm and really appreciate the independent versions. The dealer around here orders all of his TC40s with the folding ROPS and the Deluxe 3-pt. hitch which were two items I really appreciate.

On the JD990 side, I really like the all-metal construction and knowing it was a mature model built by Yanmar. It was hard for me to leave the Green and Yellow beauty, but I wanted to keep more of my green if you know what I mean. Regardless of my situation, go with the dealer you feel comfortable with and I'm sure you'll be happy with any of the ones you have listed.
