The Great Bend appears to be heaverier built.<br>Does anybody have any recommendations on the Great Bend vs. Kioti loader issue.<br>Please help and thanks a million in advance.<br>Richard

Hello all...<br>I guess I didn't make myself very clear when I asked this before, so let's try again...<br>Trying to figure out the difference between the NH TC25D and TC29D. Specifically, can anyone fill in the following:<br>TC25D: Rear PTO = 540 RPM at ???? engine RPM?<br>TC29D: Rear PTO = 540 RPM at ???? engine RPM?<br>I.e. are they the same or different?<br>

Mike...<br>So are you saying that the engine on both runs the same speed with the rear PTO<br>operating at 540 RPM? That was my real question<g>.<br>

It will not stop when you push in clutch, mostley in creeper or reverse, if you have<br>30 hrs and no problem you are one of the lucky ones, this is a problem which is there<br>when you buy the tractor, so if it has not done it, it wont.

If you are mowing on flat land, remove it, keep it so you can reinstall if you sell the<br>tractor later, this is what I did with the 4100 I had. I now have a 4300 folding. Richard<br>

I ordered a JD 4400 with hydro on April 26, 1999. I rec'd a call from my dealer in northern Minnesota today saying he had been contacted by Deere and not to expect delivery until early September! Hopefully it will get here in time to break it in somewhat before the snow flies. If you are ordering in the near future I would really push the dealer as to expected delivery date!

My guess is the package would be closer to 35K and I agree on delivery time. It seems like it is running around 14 weeks. I wonder if anyone can comment on recent experience with delivery.

I think this 7360 is the newest model for Cub Cadet. With the loader, I seem<br>to recall this being a very good price, since they are selling or advertising the<br>tractor by itself for l9,995.<br>In addition, doesn't this model have the new shuttle transmission ? I briefly<br>saw one in Walton, N.Y. - It is larger than the 7260 series and I do seem to<br>remember the shuttle transmission.<br>

I just purchased a Speeco hitch, but have not used it yet. Any info or comments on this hitch will be appreciated.

I purchased a Howse 5' mower three years ago and have mowed a lot of tough saplings with it as well as orchard grass. It does a good job on both and leaves a nice smooth cut on the grass. ( I was intending to purchase a finish mower but the Howse does such a good job I dont think I need one). The one problem that I have experience is is loose gearbox bolts several times after mowing saplings. These bolts on the Howse are particularly difficult to get to to tighten but it can be done. Also the top bracket of the hitch is an usually design and I have had difficulty in getting a Speeco speed hitch to work with this mower. I paid 480 dollars new, delivered, and certainly satisfied overall.

New Holland is a good choice. I was lucky and picked up a used Ford 1900 with only 450 hours on it and in like new shape. I previously had an old Massey Feguson TO35 which was ok but I wasted a lot of time trying to start it. I am now comepletly sold on diesel engine tractors and would never have gas again. My tractor starts in all weather( the day I first went to see it, it was 6 below zero and it had been sitting in a shed all winter, but a tweak of the plug heater and it started right off) It came with a loader which I used to make a drive and then took off ( loaders are a bit of a problem when not in use so try and get one with a quick hookup) I dont have powersteering and have not missed it as yet. It had fluid filled tires when I got it and I quickly got rid of those suckers. Balance your tractor with weights and keep the tires filled with air. I have been lucky with used tractors and learned that you have to watch out for dealers who sell them. If I had the money I would have bought new but coulnt afford it. John Deere is of course good but overprices on everything, implements etc. Good cheap implements are readily available new and used if you shop around. I have never spent more than 400 dollars for a mower, etc.

I have 40 acres with lots of brush and scrub to control. I had an old MF TO35 for a number of years on which I moved with a used ($250) bushog type cutter. It worked like a charm except it had a slip clutch that always seemed to be too tight or too loose and burned clutch plates like crazy. Three years ago I bought a used Ford 1900 and put a new Howse mower on it for $450 which works fine and has shear pin protection. Except for the gearbox mountings coming loose (after a lot of hard mowing in scrub) I am very peased with it. The gearbox bolts are very hard to get at since they must be tightened from below, which is possible but tricky. I have spent a lot of time looking at new and used Cat 1 implements in my area and have come to the conclusion that implements painted green or blue (JD and Ford) are grossly overpriced and do not seem to be any better constructed than cheaper ones. I recently saw a JD that didnt even have a stump jumper on it and they wanted $1300 for it. By the way a stump jumper is a must iin my opinion. Good places to get implements are places like Tractor Supply Co. Farm and Fleet, Rural King, etc. Good luck

I too am looking for somewhere to get suggested retail pricing on a JD 4400 and numerous accessories. If anyone knows where I can find pricing on snowblowers, front and rear blades and loaders plus the tractor I would sure appreciate hearing about it. Thanks

I have a 560 long that I am in the process of doing a resurface to one of the heads. I am in the process of finding information now. The is a long dealer in South Carolina, Midway Equipment, I found on Yahoo. There is also a dealer here in Hanford, California that I talked to today that used to sell Long tractors and he is looking to see where he can get parts for me. The tractor seems to be a good tractor, I paid $1700.00 for mine and it has standard bolts and nuts so it is easy to work on. <br><br>Good Luck,<br>Richard
