Hydraulic plate means there is one hydraulic cylinder connected to the locking pins where the levers would normally be to lock the attachment. It makes life much easier by changing attachments in seconds from inside the cab versus getting in and out. Anything requiring hydraulics still requires getting out to hook them up like a snow blower---these are "aux. hydraulics" located on the left boom arm, which are a standard feature. But like I said there is a hybrid hydraulic plate available from NH Parts that connects to the "Aux. hydraulics", but then you couldn't run a snow blower because it would lock or unlock the blower from the SS. The cab/heater is great for what you're using it for. I can use mine in 95 degree weather and still freel reasonably comfortable. The filters I found are interchangable with car engine air filters for $3.50 each.

I still think a used big LS180 is the way to go.

NH is not reliable when releasing new model years from my exp. It took me 5 months to get my LS185.b because the factory messed up my order 4 times before they got it right. d They're not like cars "ooooh the new '07's are out"---it's more like it was made on a certain date and that's it---no hoopla. I have to think a dealer might be gun-shy to order an '07 when he's got several '06 or even '05 on the lot. They have 30 days to sell them before they start paying interest to CNH Credit, so my dealer told me. That said I'd be looking for one from your dealer that they have been paying interest on and want to dump it and CNH may even help them out on the employee price to help them move it---dunno.

How useful is the FEL

You might want to look at something bigger like a NH TC34DA. I've got a TC33D and wouldn't consider anything smaller for FEL work (but there are some capable smaller machines out there but they're not for me). Plenty of power and creature comforts. Gotta get a hydro especially if doing FEL work. Makes any job twice as fast and more fun. NH has SuperSteer which gives you I believe an 18" turning radius, and when using a cutting brake it's zero.

I agree with you Murf. I've got a backhoe with a thumb but it's 1200 miles away. I've seen those drop hammers like you're talking about; they're pretty effective. I've used a skid steer with a hydraulic breaker on it to demolish an inground pool that had Gunite 2' thick and 5 layers of rebar in places. I'm going to give the piling drop weight a shot and see what happens. Also, pallet forks ar very effective fr breaking (lifting and flipping) concrete flat work. As far as having concerte off the soil yes that's true to. I've seen a study that it takes 4 times the impact energy to break concrete that is contacting soil as the energy travels through the concrete and dissipates into the surrounding soil versus concentrating into the concrete resulting in breakage. Down here in Miss. they use what are called "chain walls" wchich are slab floors with thicker outer egdes. Some of these have 3'x4' oter edges that have rebar the thickness of my wrist--somtimes two to four of them. In hindsite, these over-built footers did absolutely nothing to preserve the homes on the Gulf when 30 feet of storm surge water came through here. In many cases al that was left were the anchor bolts---no bottom plates at all.

Ihookem; I don't know the specifics about Kubota filter systems but that first early hour fluid and filter change are probably the most important in prolonging the lifetime of your tractor. Any new machine will have bits of metal or casting sand that did'nt get completly flushed during manufacturing. Frank.

Hi Just joined today and would like advice. I am looking at a Grey mkt L 1501 DT Kubota. It has a nice FEL and a Kelley B600 Back hoe. All looks to be in very good shape. Claims to be 650 hours on it. <br>
I have no Idea what the price should be but won't pay the $10,000 he is asking. <br>
What is a Kelley B600 Hoe worth? and how much is a FEL for this machine worth.<br>
<br>
Thanks for any help.<br>
<br>

I've gotta say that Kody at Polaris Sport is right on top of customer service. He answered my questions quickly. Here's some additional info on the HDP-2000 dump trailer he provided.<br>
<br>
- There is no dealer that stocks the trailer so no pre-sale examination is possible. It really sounds like they drop-ship them when ordered.<br>
<br>
- The dump feature only operates off the battery (not included by manufacturer). There is no provision for operating it off a smaller source like a trailer connector.<br>
<br>
- Only a 1 7/8" coupler is available at this time but it sounded like they were working on a 2" that isn't ready yet.<br>
<br>
- It doesn't have a tailgate<br>
<br>
- MSRP is $1654.53. At this time need to order through Northern or DR. I checked DR and they sell it for $1299 including the dump battery and will ship it for an estimated $99. Northern will sell it shipped w/o battery to Oregon for $1326.<br>
<br>
For my use it seems this model has some downsides. I'd like to be able to control the dump while driving forward and this would mean extending the control switch. Charging the battery between uses seems like a pain (it would be easier to use the tractor hydraulics and eliminate the battery while providing dump control from the seat). Lastly, maybe I'm wrong on this but it seems an adjustable tailgate of some sort would be useful to control the spreading of material. The Farm Tuff trailer from Northern doesn't have an adjustable tailgate, but it has a wooden one which would make it easy to modify. A plastic dump body isn't very easy to modify. But the Polaris would be a turnkey solution at a pretty good price. Decisions, decisions.

Hi;<br>
<br>
I am looking at three subcompacts, the Kubota BX2350, The NH TZ25DA, and the Massey GC2300.<br>
<br>
I will be cutting about 2 acres, blowing snow, and some occasional FEL work.<br>
<br>
I am wondering what others think of these tractors. I also wonder if people think that the reverse air flow in the Kubota and Massy is as big of a deal as it seems to be (good idea, but not a deal killer?)<br>
<br>
I like the Massy so far, they haven't gone to plastic, but hey, plastic doesn't rust...opinion?<br>
<br>
There are other reasons, it seems to be the strongest hydraulic system, and it is designed to operate at a lower RPM than the Kubota (2800 vs 3200), not sure about the NH. Also, it looks like the turn radius is tightest with Kubota and Massy, not sure about NH (can't find spec).<br>
<br>
So, the Massy is the most expensive of the three. I would welcome anyone's opinon on any of these three machines<br>
<br>
Thx<br>

Sounds like you are on to it. You should especially have no leaks along the hydro filter lines. Good luck.

Actually the first foot petal drive hydro's were tredle petals as they are refered to. As with most things the overall majority by far of all hydro's are operated with tredle pedals! After all some companies even tried to sneak in that hand clutches are the thing to have with farm tractors! It's amazing what time tells us! They do make good collectors items as they are far to unsafe for a working farm to still use them do the safety issues of not only the hand clutch but all the open flywheels spinning. Any way you look at the less parts to replace or adjust the better!
