I am looking for some opinions on the best way to work up an area that has been in grass (CRP) for about 14 years. I have run my disk over the area, but it is really only working up the top inch or two of soil. I need something to break through the sod, but don't really feel the need or desire to plow the whole area (about 2 acres.)What could I use to break up the sod layer a bit, so the disk could then be used to work the area? Would the scarifiers from a box blade do this? A single row middle buster or sub-soiler? (but wouldnt that take forever?)<br>

I agree on the need to compare apples to apples (as much as possible) on some of these specs.

From my 16LA/17LA manual -
"Lift Capacity to Maximum height at pivot pin" = 1800 lb.
"Lift Capacity to Maximum height 19.7" Fwd of Pivot pin" = 1386 lb.
Both of these are for when the 16LA is on a TC35 - they are slightly higher if on a TC40 or 45. The comparative numbers for the 17LA are 1760lb and 1391lb on a TC35.

Help choosing between TC35D and L3010

Jerry, Maybe you didn't read everything that the news had in it. New Holland was available from fiat and case and cat was the suiters. Fiat was not satisfied with profits of N.H. and something was going to happen. It was Fiats money not N.H.'s. New corporate headquarters are in racine not amsterdam. CEO is from case not N.H. I think it is a great merger and makes a new #1 in the industry and within a couple of years under Russo should be highly profitable and definitly a undisputed leader.

Cathy, Mckee went out of buisness in the early 80's many of the parts are generic and you may have luck matching them up at a dealer or to have them welded up at a fab shop, good luck.

a few models of big deere's ago they tried to sell the idea of caster to the farming community. In there infinite wisdom and lack of frame clearence they added a lot of caster to the front wheels of there tractors so when they turned to the steering stops the tires actually laid on there sides. This was done so the tires would not hit the frame rails on there tractors and still allow them to turn 50 degrees to keep with the competition. Many farmers disliked this as it rutted meadows and stones often cut the sidewalls of the tires. Question is are they back at it again?

with a kubota backhoe you should never have to worry about your warrantee being vioded if something does happen during your three years of chassis warrantee. Woods would not pay a dime.

There is only one manufacturer that builds a cab from the factory that fits your needs and that is the kubota line they currently have several models with air and heat and they are in the L-series starting at 30 hp. All three models are with the hydro trans which your wife would also enjoy. We are in upstate N.Y. and we sell a lot of cabs for heat during winter snow removal but the a/c sells these tractors.

Don I wish the markup was 25% of msrp as you suggest on all compacts. Giving credit where credit is due deere does only give the 10% discount on the 790 to the best of my knowledge. Other than freight and set-up there are other cost factors to enter in such as does it include free trucking for warrantee work, is the mower removed and the snowblower installed at no cost to the owner the first season. There are many things to consider and many things to look at when purchasing and price is not all there is to buying.

Gerald, when I ran them I to from time to time found I had to push some but I haven,t seen any that I thought were any better. I thought your duals would have helped and I don't have one to look at but I don't think chains would fit. To slow it down more in the forward tine mode when the ground is loose you might want to try fabricating your own depth bar to slow it down. The tilling originally of soil they recommend only dropping the tiller a couple of inches at a time that may get you away from the problem of having to push. Art

one horse power and more cubic inches should make it about equal if not more. Unless you ride around in circles so the pump is on demand all the time.

Brent, That blade is big but a good choice. The only way a three point hitch blade digs is from a good edge and the weight of it to penetrate the ground I think you made a good choice. Art

Greg, I lost something, if you have higher hydr.flow and beefier arms what happened to the increases at the user end? The three point hitch on the deere lifts less than the kubota not that either will lift enough to hurt them and the loader lifts less and does it sloweron the deere. Well from here I guess it gets into efficiency. Why drive these bigger pumps that take horsepower away if you don't or can't use it!

Jd5510 or kubota m8200 would both pull a batwing style mower in the 12' plus range giving you the ability to mow 8 plus acres an hour. They normally will mow up to 4.5

Mark, try driving the two, I don't think that with the loader you can compare the JD shuttle shift to kubota's. The kubota should definitely cost you more due to the resale value but it is far more user freindly, just getting on the two will tell you that! Price is variable but depending on condition mid teens would be a bargin!
