Ardician, I had my 50hr service done in December on my NH TZ24DA. The cost was; parts $120, labor $100 totaling $220. I trailered the tractor to the dealer, left it about 10 days and went back to get it.

I plan on building a polebarn this spring. I plan on doing the base-prep myself with a box scraper and loader. I will be stripping 8�-12� of topsoil then replacing with gravel. My question is how to compact the gravel. Since I don�t have a vibratory roller handy, anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? After its compacted, I plan on placing some stone then pouring a concrete slab. Thanks.

I am ready to buy a CUT and need some input into my decision. I have narrowed it down to two models, but not having very much experience with tractors, especially new CU tractors, I thought I would turn to the industry experts: The end users��<br>
<br>
I have a log home on 5 acres. It is all rolling pasture type surrounded by woods. All of this acreage (minus house) must be mowed. I also have about 700' of gravel driveway to maintain. I was taking care of this with a 1973 Ford 4000 tractor, 6' bush hog, and small Murray mower/tractor. The Ford was just way too big for the task at hand and I wanted to upgrade, so I sold my tractor and bush hog yesterday. I have some cash burning a hole in my pocket�.<br>
<br>
With the help of this site, I have narrowed my search down to either a Kubota 7800, 4WD, HST or a Kioti CK30, 4x4, HST or GST. I will purchase a 3 pt. 72" finish mower and a 60" rotary cutter (aka bushhog) with one of these tractors. I want to use the finish mower for most of the land but want to have the bushhog in case I get behind mowing and the grass gets too long for the finish rig.<br>
<br>
With all of this said, which of these tractor should I buy. My budget is $15K and I have quotes to where I can get either tractor and both mowers for under this amount (within $200 of each other). I have ridden the 7800 and it seems to be a fine tractor. I plan to go and ride the Kioti this week, but from all I have read here, I don't think I will be disappointed in the Kioti.<br>
<br>
I know that for the money I get more creature comforts (cruise control, telescoping 3 pt links, cup holder, and around 2 more PTO hp) with the Kioti. It is also heavier than the Kubota but the wheel base and width of the tractors are about the same. Here is the deal, the Kubota dealer is here in the town I work in so any warranty/service work that I can not do at home is very convenient to get done. The Kioti dealer is 2 hrs away. Should this influence my decision????<br>
<br>
Which tractor should I buy? Some quick input would be most grateful!!!<br>
<br>
Thanks in advance!<br>

GScott, I upsized to the 12" Bandit from the 6" Jinma for a few reasons.

1. We have a lot more Noble firs than I initially thought. These are fairly big, some maybe 24" in diameter, but the punky wood makes lousy firewood so they need to be disposed of. We chip most of 'em and burn the stuff too big for the chipper.

2. I liked the tow behind unit better because I can park it and use the tractor w/grapple to bring material to the chipper.

3. After a long day of chipping the hydraulic, reversible feed rollers on the bandit leave me a lot less tired than the mechanical roller on the Jinma. There's a lot of shoving on the Jinma when feeding brush (probably true of most chippers in that class).

4. The Jinma has a tendency to clog on wet material, so when it's wet you need to feed it very slowly.

I'm selling my Jinma if you're interested. I'd sort of like to keep it but realistically won't be using it much anymore.

Maybe I just noticed it, maybe it just happened, but apparently spring has come to cyber space....<br>
<br>
I just noticed that our friend Dennis has spiffied the place up for spring with a sprout of Tulips way up there at the top of the page.<br>
<br>
I for one wish to extend a real big thanks to Dennis for all the hard work and countless hours he puts into this place for us to meet.<br>
<br>
Dennis, your efforts do NOT go unnoticed, thank you Sir.<br>
<br>
Best of luck.

We use a rather more simple method, we prevent the problem in the first place.

When we drop anything onto cylinders we block the cylinders with a peice of tube cut in half lengthwise. This mechanically holds the cylinders at a set opening and prevents a load shifting from creating pressure. If you also cycle the cylinders with the engine off before disconnecting it helps to allow for some changes without over pressuring the system.

If it is a chronic unavoidable situation then a small change in your lines makes a big difference, it's handier sometimes too.

Merely swap two of the fittings, female for male, that way the two flexible lines left dangling can be looped together, any change in position then no longer presurizes one side of the circuit.

If this is not possible the next best solution is a 'bleed box', a small VENTED steel tank with a pair of short lines running to it and a quick connect fittings. When you park the implement connect the line from the bleed box to the line that will get compressed from sitting only. This way it cannot build pressure and any that does can be released safely and reasonably neatly.

Best of luck.
