Liljoe, it might be a 30 hp motor but I think the pto will only spool up to 25 hp at best, with that being the min. for a five foot cutter.

Doc, I've used power service since I bought my tractor, friend is a diesel mac, he highly recommended it. don't know how it effects it, but he said it really help's keep pumped lubed as well as ups the cetone rating. and no gell up in cold months. I respect his word and probley will continue to use it. Tell me if you notice some sort of difference when you add yours.

Chief, how long does it take to use 100 gal of gas, I just put the fifth five gallon can in mine this weekend with 53hrs. on the clock. tractor is 8 months old. 25 gals used so far . At that rate it would take the better part of 3 yrs for me to burn a 100 gals.

Tractor is used with brush cutter only no finish mowing,5ft 3pt. although if kept sharp you almost get finished look. It is a 790 deere . I mostly use tractor for working on food plots on my 40 acers.But then I try to put it to use for anything, beings I have a ball using it ! I really like the tractor but if I could start over I would go with something in the 40 hp plus range to make ground ingadging easier and faster, by being able to use larger imps.

Does any body have any info on how well those flex drag harrow's work. Iv'e been using a old chain link gate to drag seed beds but I pretty much distroyed it last weekend. I'm looking into getting something new and was wondering if they are worth the money they bring (not cheap). From my understanding they can be used in many way's buy turning over or something.

I like my gear also but when a day's worth of loader work is in order I wish it was a hydro.

Murf, where can this be found, no links on the page you posted.As far as ride goes, don't think you'll ever get a caddy ride from any tractor beings there is no suspension. tire pressure does help some though.

The scale I used isn't mine, and It's probley 75 years old.Don't know if it is correct or not. but I'm sure it's fairly in ballpark range. I do know it's a bear to move around by myself for any distance when full, it's HEAVY.

I have a metal paneled deere 790 and it has a few dings already from mowing trails through timber, had to touch up a few spots to keep rust at bay also. plastic is probley a good thing for longer life with less maintance, although when plastic get's cold it is more opt to just break off or crack when going through timber instead of just denting. you make the choice.

I was amazed to see all the CUT'S that were used by the Fort Lauderdale road working crews when we were down there last week. I'm guessin they are easier to manuver around the many palm tree's they have linning the roadway's. They had a ton of Tc 30's and several 4310's for most of all there road side work.Only seen one large unit that they used for mowing the sides of imbankments, It had one of the cutters on an arm that could be extended over fenceing as well as cleaning the sides of road way tree's as far as 10 to 15 feet up . It was a New Holland.Here in MO don't see many CUT'S being useds by road crew's.
