First, the reason it went as well as it did was your help .
I'd most likely still be trying to figure out what to do if it wasn't for your guidance !!
As far as stability.... The only side hilling I've done is on my drive way . All I can say is I'm not side slipping anymore . Don't know if it's the chains or spacing the wheels out . But it worked ! I'll know more when I put on the Hog this spring . But I'm sure widening the stance of the tractor can only improve stability .
All the best , John

I have new software for you to use called easyPhoto, and I have a Howto guide for you to follow. I think it is much better than Paint, and easier to use, and free.<br>

Check it out, and let me know how you like it.<br>

Yooper, I would keep it.
The Farmall A that I just restored was purchased new in '47 by my Granddad. I didn't care a lick about it until Dad gave it to me a couple of years ago. Now I'm really attached to it... collecting family photos with the tractor and various family members...it has been a lot of fun. I still use it when I have a chance, but mostly just enjoy putt-putting around the fields and woods with it.
That old tractor sat in the barn for years and nobody looked at it. Now it is bringing happiness to me and my Dad. I think I have a picture of it in my picture album on here.

Just my opinion. You never know how things will turn out.

Enjoy the reaearch. That is a big part of the fun. Let us know how the model comparisons work out for you, and how the cross-brand trade-in values work out. I'd be curious to hear about your experiences. I'm sure if you were trading a 'Bota in on a Deere, it would be pretty similar. Pluses and minuses come with both brands and you want to see it for yourself. It gives you a chance to get to know the dealers a little better which will help you with your thinking the next time you are considering an upgrade or implement.<br>

My Dad grew up on a farm and was a design engineer with Deere in Waterloo in the Fifties before going into engineering academia at a major midwest university. I didn't grow up on a farm but spent most summer months as a youth working with relatives on family farms in Iowa and Kansas. You can guess I saw plenty of green paint on toys and machines as a kid, just like you. The green paint isn't always the best choice, but it does "color" your perspective quite a bit. BTW, all those family farms are still in the family. Don't know how many more generations that can last. 75% is now leased out to bigger operators and arable land is in huge demand in the midwest in a big, big way. Every operator has to get bigger and bigger to survive these days. Pete

I have been sitting back listening to the plastic/metal debate again. Plastic can be done well or poorly just like metal can. You will find quality plastic body parts on big trucks, Corvettes, Hummers, Race Cars, and most CUTs. My CUT has plastic fenders and hood.

You can still get metal hoods on CUTS. You just have to buy the JD790, NH TC30 or the other cost reduced price leaders that are produced by each tractor maker. These are good tractors, but they are produced with technology that allows the manufacturer to provide a low introductory price.

If there was a big problem with plastic hoods and fenders breaking under normal usage, you would have heard about it here a long time ago, manufacturers would not be expanding the use of a material that is going to cause them warranty problems, and they would never have achieved fuel economy and vehicle life improvements without plastic composites.

Mark,

Do you like the 46 BH? Does the extra seat make the BH cumbersome compared to one whre the seat rotates?

One of my oldest atachments is an ancient York rake with scarifier, grader blade, and gauge wheels. I find it indispensible in my business. A top-n-tilt link will eliminate the need to stop and fuss with the adjustments on your link which are necessary to get the tines to engage the ground properly. It makes for a great combination and will save you hours of work. Just be careful around the trees and shrubs as you don't want to damage the trunk or root collar and cause an injury that disease, or a pathway for insects, that will eventually kill the plant.

What's better? Spend some time mucking out the stalls with your fel, add that aroma to good ol' bovine gold, and your diesel, and then you'll know pure olfactory bliss. Especially when your honey is getting a meal ready and you waltz in, and say, as you draw her close, "...hey Babe, what's for....?" Nothing like the sweet smell of dead dinos and freshly recycled vegetation!

I don't know yet. I would need the rear panel, rear wiper, rear hydraulics for the tractor, hydraulic churt rotator, hoses, connectors, etc. to let me use the cab with the blower. I would be something like $800 to $1200 do all of that. Or i could just buy a wiper, a piece of plexe glass, an electric motor, etc. and jerry rig it.

I also bent the bucket plowing snow 3 weeks ago, but i straighten it out pretty good, i am going to strenghten the heck out of it, so it will not happen again.

I can built you one out of 3/16" or alummium. The sucker weight likes 30 pounds. I am leaving here shortly to get my new welder today. By the way, i welded the protype with a stick welder and then bondo the welds to make them smooth. My old mig couldn't handle 1/4" then new one will do 1/2" So now the welds will not have to be bondo to look nice.

to everybody else i need one more order to start builting the 1st group of lights.

Bliz, just took a look at your link -- looks extraorinarily NOT like my tractor's linkage. I'm going to check that hitch width measurement for sure, but the whole thing looks more like what Harvey's saying may be true. These draft arms leave the tractor already headed for trouble...

Nancy What model tractor? It sounds like one of the slave cylinders is bad and either needs rebuilding or replacing. So if you do one you should do both. Be ready for an expensive repair.

I am quite suprised that a tractor would have a system like that for the clutch. Those arangements are quite expensive on trucks and cars.

Not surprising that Koyker said what they said. Starting with the B1550, B1750, etc vintage, (post B5200, B6200, etc), Koyker started to build to a given unit spec, and ultimately now have a kit number for each FEL for the respective tractor it is going on. The 110 that I mentioned in the earlier posting, will infact fit on your "to be" B6200 HST. In fact, the B1550/B1750's accept the 110 FEL with the same subframe and mounts as that for the B6200HST. They come equipped with a variety of mounting holes for a variety of applications. The primary consideration areas, are the nose frame mount, the mid frame mount, and the rear differential mounting. The rest of the framing is generic.

Koyker did not have the kits available way back when for each tractor on its own, now they do. I suspect that is why they told you what they did - I know they fit...I've put them on. They just don't want to get caught up in a liability issue, rightly so.

I presently have another kit coming to me for a B6200HST that I am building up for a guy. If you decide to go with the Woods, good luck with it. I was somewhat surprised that the dealer offered it for as low as $2800. I usually cannot see them for much less than $3500 or more. Keep us posted as to how you make out.

Thanks guys
That dealer is the only one that had included both of those in the price of the tc40 along with filled tires. He is only $485 more than my best bid and this one includes shipping to my door and training. I just e-mailed him and asked if he could get alittle closer to the other dealers price cause I kinda like this guys attention he has giving me. I was trying to find out how much the extras were worth. I am 90% sure I will go with this dealer especially if he can get within 200 of the other guy. More than likely I will be signing papers on Sat. wish me luck! and thanks
