I have a 1990 B6200 and paid $5000 here in NE Ohio. It has 4WD, 60" MMM and had a new battery. Overall the tractor was nearly perfect. It had 800 hours, but most of them from mowing which is not hard on the machine. Your price seems at least $1500 high.

I've spent some time in that area and what a screwed up place it is. Hard to believe that this is where civilization began. Mesopotamia, fertile crescent.<br>
Everytime I buy fuel I wish we were more self reliant fuel wise.

havotec,

Premium or not, you nailed it on the head. Put a set of wheels instead of the shoes and use the float detent!

The smaller units will be changing over in June. Two must have OPTIONS are the grid heater and block heater. Those engines are very cold natured. Don't no why the made the pre heater optional but it is not going to start below 40 degrees with out it.

Yes our dealership is one of the ones that have brought this up.

You do not have to worry too much though. What is happening is people trying to shut down the pto at full speed with out idling down the tractor first and the big shock load is transfered to the pto brake.

It is also about a 10 hour job to replace the brake.

Gear tranny A or hydro DA. But that really only holds true for the TC35-45. The TC21-33 are all DA regardless or tranny option. Just for your info if you are getting a front mount blower the hydro will be cheaper than the gear because the mid pto is a dealer installed option on all gear drive trannies. And the install time is about 5 hours and they will pass the labor on to the price of the tractor.

All the tractors we get in have fuel in them. Even the3 ones in the crate. The only thing that we get in that is dry are our small gas run equipment. Lawn mowers and such.

Can't help you with a brand or size recommendation, but I've been using my Cadplans 3ph hoe for two years now on my TC29 and it has done almost everything I've needed to. The only stumps that have defeated me are a couple of 3'+ diameter cottonwoods that apparently have an extensive root network. But I've removed some huge rocks from the yard and ditches. and many stumps in the 1' diameter and under range.

A 3ph hoe just isn't the same machine as a dedicated tractor loader backhoe, but you can accomplish a lot with one, if you take your time.

I decided on the Cadplans hoe because of cost and I didn't like giving up the ground clearance for a sub-frame mount.

Good luck,
Bill

No i'm not sure. I don't have the owners manual for it. The closest manual I could get was for a Model 25 loader that fits a Satoh S470 Tractor. The Model 25 loader is almost idenical to mine except for the brackets that hold the pump to the front pto.

Murf ya rained on my parade. But that is ok I needed it.

I should only drink 16 oz of coffee max a day, the kind were they soak a bean in a bucket and call it coffee. Of course the spoon will stand up in it on its own, when I make it, if the warden does not make it first to the correct spec.

Can't remember the last sticky bun. Always nice to dream about.

Rap is not music and never will be, now with that said:

Our youngest daughter got married this past summer, church wedding and reception at the Country Club. The wife gave me the assignment to find a band or disc jockey.

We set a budget for the band of $1K. I called an entrainment agent about bands and she asked how much I wanted to pay. I said I didn't have any idea how much bands cost. She said the groups she represents begin at $1K and go over $50K.

With her help we got a band for $1K that was normally $1.5K, but wasn't booked, this was about 6 weeks before the wedding. The band was excellent, wore tux, and played a mixture of music, mostly soft rock and light country.

The wedding cost in excess of $20K. We based the wedding budget on what we could afford. I am glad I was able to provide our daughter a wedding of this type. But, I am glad its over. Dave

I think the source of most of the confusion around this subject is that most people, including electricians, feel there is no electricity in the neutral wire since it is grounded, in fact nothing could be farther from the truth.

First of all let me say, that in ANY circumstance where the neutral is still connected to the utility company's grid, the potential risk exists, whether or not the mains are open.

Maybe if I give the 'big picture' it will make it clearer. The phenomenon is called stray Voltage.

The electrical utility company causes the problem of stray voltage when they connect the neutral on the primary side of the transformer to the neutral on the secondary winding of the transformer. Why do they do this? Because this is the standard connection specified in the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC) which governs the utilities. The National Electrical Code (NEC), which covers all wiring, requires that the secondary neutral be hard wired to the buildings water system, structure and electrical ground rod.

Therefore, the voltage level of the building structure and water system is elevated to the voltage level of the primary neutral conductor on the utilities electrical distribution network. This voltage can be significant and is the primary cause of Stray Voltage.

The origin of the stray voltage problem lies in the fact that Electrical Utilities do not make a distinction between the function of the Neutral (the grounded conductor) and a Ground. The Electrical Utilities in conjunction with the IEEE has developed the National Electrical Safety Code (NESC). This code requires them to ground the primary neutral conductor at least four times per mile that they distribute electricity. Electrically, the ground rods are actually resistors ranging from 10 to several hundred ohms. The actual resistance depends upon the moisture content and conductivity of the soil. In other words, the utilities are forced to deliberately design their systems to use the earth as a secondary neutral conductor.

The voltage on the primary neutral increases as the distance from the substation increases. Each ground rod tends to reduce the voltage by diverting some of the neutral current into the earth. The current splits between the neutral wire and ground rod in accordance with ohms law. The primary neutral voltage at the end of the distribution line can be 20 volts or more depending on the combined load on the distribution line and the conductivity of the earth. The NESC requires the Electrical Utility to connect the primary neutral to the secondary neutral on each transformer serving a customer. The National Electrical Code (NEC) which governs all wiring requires that the secondary neutral be grounded to the water pipes for every building being served. Effectively the SAFETY CODES require us to hard wire our water system directly to the neutral on the primary distribution side of the transformer.

However, when you connect a generator and put power to the house's wiring, the 220V. gets split, there is 110V. between each of L1 & L2 and the neutral, and 220V. between L1 & L2 directly, but if the conditions are right, or maybe wrong is a better word, there is voltage potential in the neutral itself. If that neutral, which is a continuous conductor all the way through the grid, gets connected by a person's body, like a linesman who thinks he's working on a 'dead' circuit, or telephone wires, or cable TV wires and it becomes a better conductor, guess what? Somebody gets a shock. In a worst case scenario it can kill.

The bottom line is anytime there is potential in the neutral beyond your house it's a bad thing.

Best of luck.

I would say that considering what you have said, the 1500 would do a fine job...everything would just take a few minutes longer than with a slightly larger tractor. Now if you are pushing snow, grading driveways, or tilling, a bigger tractor with more hp and weight may be advised...but even then the 1500 would probably do it...just a little slower. Good luck.

The light weight of it has to be accounted for when pushing stuff down. I've thought about either a 2910, 7800, or else a bx23. I'd really have some jobs for fel AND Backhoe! Yah, a CAT would just be a dream come true to knock stuff down!

For off road use I would sugest 4 wheel drive. You may give up a little manuverabilty but there is no comparison in traction.

Brand: Honda gets my vote. Second would be either Kawasaki, Suzuki or Yamaha. I don't think I would own any of the other brands.

Those choices are based on reliability. I know some people will argue with this but overall reliability follows the order of my brand choices. That does not mean a honda will never break down. All mechanical equipment is destined to fail at some point. However your odds of getting there and back are best on a Honda.

I don't like honda,s drum brakes, lower ground clearance and they tend to ride rougher than others.

Call this phone number 1-800-726-7172 and ask for Jimmy in the Service Department. Explain the problem you are having and I am sure Jimmy can offer some help and experience. If not, I am sure he will get one of the mechanics to come to the phone. If it turns out you need parts; ask for my buddy Ricky in the parts department (he is the manager there) tell him Randy sent you. Ricky offers a discount to any of the forum members I send to him. This is the Deere dealer that I have dealt with for 3 years now and they are great folks to deal with. VERY helpful and great prices to boot.
