If it were me, I'd buy a riding mower with 42-54" deck to mow 1-2 acres. Then would purchase a CUT in the 27-35 HP range to do the other stuff. A cheap rider is less than the cost of MMM or RMM and can get around in your yard. It will have all sorts of other uses with a little trailer, etc. for the wife for gardening, plants, shrubs, etc. while you are on the larger tractor.

I have had some success with a lawn sweeper for keeping after the beagles. It does the job, but also makes a bit of a mess of the equipment. I hose it down and get ready for the next clean-up. Not sure how well that would work for horses. The sweeper has a dump system, so at least I can sweep it up and dump without getting to personnaly involved.

I am confused. Can you pull two lynch pins and tip the bucket off of the loader frame?

With a BX23, you should also consider using the loader for moving material. I have not needed a trailer due to use of the loader. Further, that allows me to keep the backhoe on for ongoing use, as well as a counter weight for the loader. Of course it depends on your needs and topography, and the volume of materials you want to move at any given time.

Good luck,

By leaving the BH on you don't need to fool with the hassle of wheel weights or loaded tires either.

No, if the ground is tilled I don't think several passes is necessary. It could be detrimental. Some seed will fall into the slits made by the spikes and may be to deep to come up. One pass would be ok. Might consider two passes then drag harrow (or cyclone fence)to smooth coverage, then pass with seed in it. All depends on ground condition. There is also suppose to be a dethatcher optional equipment, haven't seen it but would be great for over seeding.

Good luck, I think you will like the implement.

You are getting some good advice here. When I bought my place with a 26 x 43 foot shop, I figured I'd never fill it. Wrong! It's pretty tight right now. Think at least 3-5 years down the road for what you would like to own. Then think of how to maneuver the stuff into it.

Guys have been suggesting taller doors. I highly recommend that. The previous owner had a short door and a tall door. He boxed in the tall door which is my wood shop since that is heated. Problem is my JD 4310 won't fit in the short door with the ROPS up. Not a problem in summer when I exit the back for mowing. Major problem in winter when the short door is my only option.

I also wish he had concreted the whole thing instead of just half. Also would have liked properly sloped floor drains, more electrical outlets (per others you can never have too many) and better lighting.

Below are Deere's specs for the 4410. They show the 4410 with the 3TNE88 engine at 101 cubic inch. They also show the 3320 with the 3TNV88 engine but at 100.2 cubic inch. I suspect that the 3TNE88 and 3TNV88 are the same engine bore and stroke wise and perhaps with some emissions changes and updates.

So what tractor did you get?

Thanks for all the responses. They offer a range ot options and I appreciate it.

I have been looking at the tractor from the standpoint of designing in a theft protection device. My thought was a mechanism that shot two hardened pins out from the side of the case through the slots in the wheels. Then I had to figure out a way to make certain the slots were lined up with the pins and decided on spring-loading the pins so that once engaged, the pin would shoot into the slot when it was next in line. This thing got wilder and wilder. I guess partly because years and years ago I had some contact with the Deere experimental farm in Dubuque and know that they'd try anything once.

Anyway, the idea of a chain through the same wheel slot and then around a loader post may be the simplest. I may also look at this anti-car-theft device called the club.

Thanks again.

Thanks Terry. Went ahead and got the TZ24DA, and with the approval of the wife, traded my '99 TC33 2WD on a 2004 TC29D 4WD. Finianced both of them on the same loan!!

My wife and I love the TZX24DA. The parking brake isn't a problem to me. Just look down and you can tell whether or not it's on. Anyway, we love it and it does have the Sensitrak - an option I think is worth the money. Maybe not for mowing, but light grading or field prep will come in handy!

Thanks - Greg

I've only got one of those 'oopsey' type things to nmy credit so far.

While I was under 'house arrest' after my heart attack my good wife brought me a present one day, my faithfull side-kick Deputy Dog, who is the grandson of one of my prior dogs. A very sweet gesture indeed.

But did she really think I wasn't going to play or rough-house with the dog indoors?

BTW, for future reference, when a tennis ball hits an antique Hummell figurine it will fall over, and when said figurine hits the marble floor, there really isn't enough crazy glue in the world to put it back together again.

To this day I get a dirty look if I so much as pick up a tennis ball in the house.

Best of luck.

I would agree that you can get an accurate reading at any valve position.

However, I have also found that when you get you tire gauge full of whatever is in the tires it goops it up and doesn't work so good next time.

Yes it will run as described. You must lift the seat and pull the safety switch up before you select the the rear PTO for any operation where you are not in the seat.

As far as selections, you can run one or the other, or both, or none.

I don't know how far you can run them in total, but I know the Kohler's on our Ferris Pro Cut's sure have a lot of hours on them.

We generally run them about 1,500 per year and rebuild over the winter. After the second rebuild but before their run again, at about 3,000 hours, we sell them, usually to homeowners. There are lots of people around here with machines they bought from us over the years that are still running strong at 4,000 plus hours, but that is after being freshened up at least twice.

I have a friend who does strictly grass cutting, he has Pro Cuts with well over 3,000 hours on them that still work hard every day.

Like any other machine, if you look after it, it will look after you.

Best of luck.

They start out depending on how equipped just over 40,350 bare and not knowing the demand I'd have to say anything under 30,000 would be a good buy not taking into consideration the tractor being anything less then a 9 out of 10 on rating.

I saw this at my dealer. He had 2 of them come in that way.
One of them got broke off while the guy was moving snow and drove over a small bank. Massey should come up with a skid plate or relocate it somplace up out of the way. There bigger tractors have the same low point mounted filter altough the tractors offer better ground clearance. It makes me nervous when I am using the loader. I have to watch for rocks and what I drive over.
