It to bad your New Holland dealer can not be totaly honest with you. He is required to do all warranty work presented to him. (if he is have a memory deficiancy in this area he should consult his dealer policy manual) Also as far as warranty rate paid by New Holland it is the same as the dealers posted shop rate if he has done his paper work right.

Having been a manager at a new holland dealership for many years I can tell you this. A lot of the parts volume new holland does is on these older model tractors. I do not see parts support for these tractors going away anytime soon. These are some of the best selling parts they have.

you should clean the grease off. These tractors do not come with grease and should not have it on there. you are right it will attract dirt and cause this to operate poorly.

John, if the wieght of the tractor is enough to push the rearend down while loading then yes you need rear jacks. An easier fix would be to hitchup the trailer to your truck and let the truck offset the ramp. You could also put some wood skids (heavy blocks) under the back of trlr. being sure to block both sides so not to tip left or right. I think its always best to load a trailer after it is hooked up less chance for injuries to me or equipment.

Joe, I have a 20hp towable made by DR ( Country Home Products).It is rated at 4". Over 3 or 4 " is good firewood and Keeps tractor freed up. Prior posts have mentioned that ratings are relative to several factors, ie: hyd feeds. Mine is manual and works very well. Bird is right that 1 to 2" is easily handled by almost anything. DR will send you a comprehensive video on all thier products, I have several and recomend them for price and quality and service.

Thanks for the info everyone, I hope it also answered Randys question also. As soon as my local dealer can find a snowblower i think i will get it. I have 900 feet of gravel driveway not including parking or turnaround areas and it seems everytime it snows, the bucket seems to be getting smaller ? I think I am ready for a snowblower.

John,
I agree. I have rolled three tractors over the years due to my position as
slope mowing specialist for the highway dept. I tried to jump off on my first
roll-over. Almost fell/slid back into the brush hog. Always wore seat belt
after that. Rick

I hope I don't confuse more, however I was considering the same thing recently and after much study I bought a chipper on it's own trailer rated at 4-5" with a V-Twin 18 hp. It is a DR brand(country home products)My reasoning was; It is rated just as high as PTO model, it cost less approx.$2500.00 Idon't have to change attachments, frees up tractor. After my initial use of about 5 days heavy work it performed very well. Pine at 4-5" is no problem, gambrel oak over 3" is a chore. Good luck

Chris, I own and operate a lawn business. You will not hurt or damage the plant by mowing it late in the season. As was already stated the root structure of the plant will sustain it through the winter. I would sharpen your blades and unless you have cut this field before, check it very close for bailing twine or wire. Best of luck

From what I have seen and driven, the TC29 or the TC33 would be ideal for what you are looking for. I would recomend the Deluxe version of either one (if you dont need the extra HP the 29 would be the way to go) The 20deg. swivel of the standard seat on the deluxe as well as Suppersteer will be life and neck savers in your line of work. The controles of the 7308 loader bucket are very convieniently located. Good Luck. Rick

Roger,<br>In answer to your question. How do I get them started when it is cold out?<br>I live at the IL/WI state line. My skid steer and my JD 750 just need the glow plugs to be used. However, I must say, My skid steer used to start without the glow plugs when I bought it (500 hrs.) now with 1600 hrs. I must use the glow plugs, but I dont plug in the block heater. Maybe I should start using the block heater.??..

I bought a 12,000 watt pto Gen. that I power with my JD 750, which runs fine up to about 9,000/10,000 watts. I chose pto because: 1. Mine is on a trailer and easy to hook up even for my wife. 2. I didn't want another engine to maintain. 3. I have a tank for diesel fuel which always has 50 to 100 gals. 4. I have elec. heat and can use this to partly heat the house.

MY drive is 2000' long. I use a skid steer with a 6' blade it works great and can get anywhere, it has a three sided enclosed cab but not as warm as the cab of a truck. I just bought a used JD 750 with a front mount snow blower, so I will give that a try. Those of you that have a blower, do you think I should also keep the back blade on?

Steve,<br>I just sold my 750 with 1600 hours. It ran the same as the day it was new and I expected to run it well into the 3000 hour range with no trouble. I found a 750 with 60 hours on it and just couldn't turn it down. I got 6500.00 for it with a 5' bush hog. (It took only days to sell at that price)

I have a L2201 and would to sell it. After anyone looks at it, they call the Kubota dealership for info. They always scare the hell out of my perspective buyer! The I.R.S. will sieze their bank accounts, the tractor is guaranteed to EXPLODE under them and they will probably catch the plague just by sitting on it! The truth is its a good little tractor (under 700 hrs.). What to do?
