Hopefully someone will answer that has taken theirs off. I haven't done it yet. On the TC30 there is a piece that wraps around the front grill area. That is the piece that sits on the ground. No tools are involve to remove the loader. There are two quick release pins, one on each side. Use the hydraulics to raise the loader off of the rear mounts while slowly backing away from the loader. Shut the tractor off and disconnet the hydraulics. Dealer made it seem easy but I haven't had the need to to it.

As for the mower width you're going to need at least a 5' deck. On mine with the R-4's, a 5' box blade just covers the rear tracks. I don't finish mow with mine but I would probably look at the 6' model.

I wouldn't use a 5'mower. Mine came with a 4' belly mower. If I remember right they were rated 48" finish and 42" rough cut.

As far as the oil light, I would change the oil to at least a 15w40 or try the straight 30w. Does yours stay on even at full throttle? You might check the sending unit or replace it with a gauge just to see where you're at. Mine comes on at idle after it warms up (10-15 min.) but will go out above 1/4 throttle.

I have a '78 B6100. I don't have a loader but the 3ph whines some when it's cold. The original spec for tranny/hydraulics was for 80/90 wt gear lube. Kubota now recommends UDT for this. I made the switch and it help with the noise a lot.

Doesn't the tc24 carry 0% for 4 years right now? If your financing either tractor, run the numbers to see which one ends up the better deal. You may end up buying new for $1500 or so more.

I have a b6100, an older version of the 6200. On mine, I generally pull the decomp handle, pull the fuel shutoff lever to the closed position and spin the engine over to bring up the oil pressure. I then push in the decomp handle, set the fuel to 1/2 or a little less, preheat 30-45 seconds and it usually starts right up. Once running I slow the engine speed down to a fast idle and let it warm up.

I use this method with temps in the low 20's F and it has always started right up. Good luck.

There is a plug in the gear end of the cam. I've read where it has a tendency to fall out over time. You have to remove the front gear case to get to it. I've also seen worn oil pumps do the same thing.

As beagle said it could be the bearings. Is there any knocking sound? Kinda hard to tell on a diesel!

What weight oil are you running? You may want to use a straight 30w oil and see if that helps.

good luck

Hello,

Hopefully some of the dealers here will show up with better info. I got my insurance through my dealer. I'm at work right now and I don't remember who it is through but it costs about $9.00 per month, give or take. I'm into my tractor for around $15,000.

Hope this helps.

I just towed about 6000lbs with my '87 F-250 4x4, 460 auto. I hardly knew it was there. Mileage was around 9 mpg.

Years ago I had a boat that went about 3500lbs on the trailer with equipment. I towed this with a '72 Chevy Impala 350 auto, '85 F-150 4x2, 302 auto, and a '79 Bronco 351M auto. All three vehicles handled the boat just fine but surpisingly the Chevy did the best job. Had more power than either of the trucks and still got around 15 mpg. The Bronco was the best on a steep ramp, just shift into 4x4 low and creep right out.

No real point to that except to say I don't think a 1/2 ton truck will work very well with the heavier loads of a tractor and implements. If it's in the budget some of the newer 3/4 and 1 ton trucks have some serious tow ratings.

I can't help much with the Long tractor. When I was looking my local dealer didn't have those model in stock.

I ended up with the TC 30 9x3. The TC 29 will give you a little more loader capacity and the curved hood/loader arms. Could be a plus as its harder to see the bucket on the TC 30. I don't have the hoe yet, hopefully in the spring but you can use the same one on either tractor.

The TC 29 has a few more bells and whistles than the 30, but for me the price difference was the deciding factor plus it has slightly more PTO horsepower. Between those two, you'll need to try them out and see which one best fits you and your budget.

I just bought a new car trailer to haul my TC 30 and various junk, err hobby cars around with. I bought a Tow Rite 18' with 2 3500lbs axles and 2 wheel brakes.
The trailer has a 16 foot flat deck with 2 foot beaver tail, treated deck and decent paint.

I just towed my tractor about 250 miles to my property in PA and it did a great job. I think in your case though I would want a bigger trailer. Both in lenght and weight rating. With a tractor and a couple of implements you can run out of both rather quickly. Even in my case a 20', 10,000lbs trailer would not have been overkill.

On my TC 30 there is a data plate on the engine. It should tell you what model year the engine was certified for.
