Grinder, I have heard from customers that they have been turned away for warrantee work. There are times we wish we had a few more hours in a day to keep up with the flow!

With the money I saved from suggestions here, there may be an implement in the waiting for me. Somehow I don't think my wife would be able to put a 60" tiller under the Christmas tree!!!
Merry Christmas everyone

I want to buy a 3430 however there are none in my area to be found.The dealer has a 3830 HST which I like but the rear tire size, 14.9 x 24 limits the minimum width to 66". Can smaller tires by put on this model in order to get closer to 60" width?

Are you taking the time to turn the wheels to the side so they just roll out?

I assume that the turbine would help in this problem, but most turbines are quite thirsty. I have a few friends that are flying in New Ginuea with MAF. I would suspect that if anyone knew what to fly in the high alt. and tough conditions it would be them. I think they are flying some Pilatus. A refurbed one is 300K.

I have a small ground driven Millcreek it works great even in snow or frozen ground both are no problem. Much better than the old wheelbarrow and pitchfork method. My neighbor has a small unit from TSC it was similar in price but, much less quality.

I have a 1995 Cadet model 7275. I've never had problems with glow plugs. It usually starts without them until it gets in the teens. I store mine in a dirt floor section of the barn. I think it was just one of those freak situations.

My rule of thumb, for this class of tractor, is a 1 to 1 counter balance for the loader and then add more ballast to counter the proposed load.

Your loader probably weighs at least 500 pounds so that is a good place to start, just for "driving around weight".

For serious loader work you will need an additional 100 pounds of counter weight for each cubic foot of dirt your loader can hold. You can factor maybe 1/2 of the operators weight into the equation as long as you remember to drop the load to the ground before you dismount the tractor.

Small, short coupled tractors have very light rear ends. Seeing is believing..... look at my #8 photo.

Ah ha-mystery solved, and thanks! The fan blades on mine sure enough are flat with the ends bent up. Doesn't take much imagination to see that cupped ones would throw snow a lot further It'd take more HP too which I don't have a lot to spare with my 5' and 24 pto hp. The recommended HP range for the Pronovosts may run higher.

The thread doesn't have the whole discussion but if I understand, it's likely not an issue if the valve assembly is left on the tractor. A pump for an open centre system always needs a return to the reservoir and the valve assembly provides that. Without quick-connects on the loader cylinder hoses, there'd be the chance of oil on the ground if the valve were operated when the loader disconnected. Many tractors have a diveter valve that disables flow to the auxiliary system (loader valve in this case) that could be changed to 'remote' when the valve isn't in use for a long time.

I don't know what parts are included but in the world of tractor parts almost anything that fits on any tractor for $177 would be a bargain. I think I'd want the parts in hand before the money left mine and also know the origin of them as well.

I don't know the tiller but it almost certainly would have one or more and it'd be good to locate them. I have two types myself. The snowblower depends on one in the PTO shaft. It is on the tractor end of the shaft--a small bolt that goes through the flange and is parallel to the. My post hole auger has its own pin, which is a 5/16th-grade 2 bolt that goes through the output flange of the gearbox and auger shaft.<br>
<br>
A unit could have a pin either or both places. If they need to be replaced the grade of the bolt should be known. Most often they are ordinary grade-2 hardware bolts but occasionally harder bolts are used. It's important to not use a harder bolt than is speced by the manufacturer. A softer one may break during normal operation. If the tiller is used and the pin maya have been replaced or there's a possibility the pto shaft came from a different place than the tiller it's important to know that an appropriate pin is somewhere in the drive train.

Good to hear that engineers are getting some design time for this sort of thing. I remember the discussion where a new owner drove his HST tractor over an embankment because he used forward rather than reverse. We all program ourselves to do repetitive tasks automatically and reliably. Some control layouts just work better and produce fewer operating mistakes than others. There is research for studying this kink of thing but I forget what it's called.

I think it would be good if the control layout on all tractors were fairly standard and also similar to road vehicles. I know we all adapt to what ever controls we have but it would be good if we didn't have to think what we're doing if we operate a different tractor. Well, my column gear shift is on the left and after a long hard tractor day, I occasionally hop in my 1/2-ton and put it in drive with the turn signal. I feel pretty silly but I guess it's better than driving into a tree or something.

Good to hear from the far north. I spent 6 years up there. 3 at Anchorage and 3 in Fairbanks.

I especially remember the snows in the Girdwood area South toward Seward. It will take a lot more blower than what you have if you get near those kinds of snow.

A word of caution from someone who's been there and done that. Get rid of the grade 5 shear bolts. Shear bolts are meant to be the weak point if the shear bolt does not shear and you bend your auger from a limb, block of wood, rock or a solid block of ice it will be a whole lot harder to shovel while you wait for parts to fix blower.

Have fun doing the good blow jobs...

The 723 is a little more loader. It fits more sizes of the L-series.
