Subject statement says it all... These are the choices I have come down too. I'd like some input from you folks. I've been impressed with what I've read so far, regarding your ideas about these tractors. <br>
<br>
Things I know about the Kubota are the jerky motion of the 3pth. I think in large part this may be operator caused or excessive engine RPM's while trying to make slight adjustments to the 3pth itself. <br>
<br>
I've heard nothing negative in a mechanical scense about the NH line of tractors, however I'm not impressed that they've replaced part of their work force with inmates from the local prison. That move is just wrong on several fronts. Please don't take that last statement as a way to politely open a huge can of worms...<br>
<br>
Any input by you folks would be great.<br>
<br>
Thanks.

NH TC29DA vs Kubota L2800HST

I'm looking at a 2004 NH TC29DA, the tractor is probably everything I need. It comes with a loader. Just wondering how the Kubota L2800HST stacks up against the NH. I know the Kubota has some 3pth problems, but the NH's issues with the strike makes me wonder too. Any thoughts on this issue would help me. Thanks.

Give this guy Paul a call. I met him through e-bay when I bought a steam cleaner from him. He's in Ohio south of Lima. He's into small AC and other small tractors. The day I saw him he had a cool 1968 AC with rear implement lift, and a factory sickle bar mower.

Once you have it cleaned up try using a silicone spray lubricant on the table. Not only does that make things work much easier, but also seems to leave a protective film while not in use. I don't know how it ranks on the quality ladder but CRC brand was always my favorite because it seemed to dry almost instantly and not leave a residue on what you were sawing. Best of luck. Frank.

The three point hitches on all sub-compacts work the same, as far I as know. All these tractors lack "position control" of the hitch, as do some basic-featured regular compact tractors. There is simply a lever that you move back to raise, push forward to lower, and the "hold" position is in the middle. The hitch is only raised with hydraulic pressure and cannot develop down pressure so in a way the "down" position is a lot like a float.

As a comparison, with a position control system the lever moves within a graduated quadrant. For example, if the lever is at 1 with the hitch down and at 10 with the hitch up, placing the lever at 5 would hold the hitch halfway. The hitch position moves to match the corresponding lever position.

You are correct that lack of position control makes precise control more difficult. It is hard to raise and lower the implement in small, controlled amounts. Blading is one of the jobs that position control is really missed, but it is possible to do without it.

I forgot to add to that post I am well aware of the bottle design flaw, and I am sure it did not cause the leaks I see, although all have had oil mess from that bottle. I am talking about drips of oil hanging off front and rear transfer output, being slung 360 degrees by shaft. Oil running out of the power steering shaft where it meets the engine, a constant supply coming from the oil pan, not just some spillage from oil changes. Another of the trucks I looked at had tranny line leaks and when I got to the dealer, they already had it on the lift to fix them. this was not a dodge dealer, VW and it was the managers personal vehicle. A/c also dumped and they found the evaporator in the cab had gone bad. That made number 2 with bad A/c when I got to the dealer. I had and 89 and a 93 cummins no problems, dad has a 97, only the most minor of problems. I just wonder if I am looking for the holy grail, wife is tired of going on goose chases and I am now worrying about new, maybe I should just settle for a tweener truck. tween now and when Toyota makes a diesel fullsize. I am getting close to just saying the heck with it I don't need a $20-34,000 problem. Ford all but out, chevy isn't even in the ball game.

The only tractors that have a "Float" position are the small sub compacts and some of the lower end models that do not have "Position Control" and only have a two position lever.

I was told the Massey does not have a float position on the 3pt hitch. Would this be a pain for box blading, tilling, or running a posthole digger?

Understandable and probably a wise decision. You can do the build your own thing on the Deere website and knock off about 15% of the MSRP price they show for the typical good sale price. 20% is not the unheard of but that will require some hard bargaining. Models and equipment that do not move well or are aged inventory can be discounted as much as 25% but this is not the norm. Implements they will knock off about 10 to 15%

The Bridgestone Revo Duelers have gotten pretty good comments over on some of the Dodge/Cummins boards as a good all around tire.. I will need tires for my truck before winter, and they are what im going with.. I am going to keep the same 265/75/16 size in an E load range..

good luck

I am just a home owner with a few arces. I have both owned both a JD and a Kubota. Both bought used, but not abused.

I have a Kubota L2850D with a loader and I have been very satisfied with it. However, if I was to buy new, considering, the tractors were the same in abilities/price. I would go with the tractor that had the best dealer available.

As I said I love the Kubota, yet the dealership in this area leaves a lot to be desired. The JD dealer is hands up over the Kubota dealer. This could mean a lot on the purchase of the new tractor.

Buy the tractor from the best area dealer for service and parts.

My two cents.

Hi, yes im still here! The problem I discovered was a stuck spool. It is located right behind the solenoid that "turns on" the PTO. I just gave it a tap and it started movin again. No problems since. Hope this helps !

I have a TC30, 4 WD, with the 7308 loader on it, and it does a great job for me. I have put almost 900 pounds in it, and it will carry the load very well. It takes me about 5 min. to remove or install the fel, and it requires no tools to do so.

Unless you can find a used machine locally in the 50 to 70 hp range I would suggest a look at a Kioti DK55 or DK65. For the money spent, none of the other brands can touch it for the features and reliability you will get.

Buy a log splitter and get the work out. A wood processor is just not worth the HUGE cost unless you sell LARGE volumes of firewood. I mean along the lines of 100 cords or more per year.
