JOHN, I just took delivery of a TC21D with a loader, and the 60in mid mount mower. I only have 8hrs used it this weekend for mowing and some loader work. It seems to do everything just fine. Traded a 1220 without power steering. The 1220 was a great tractor had it 5 years. I sure like the power steering on this one.The New Holland tractors seemed to be better finished than kubotas, and Iwas real pleased w/ the 1220. I am pretty sure you would be satisfied with the 21.

Has anyone had consistent breakage problems on the hydraulic hose that runs between the stabilizer arm and the inner portion of the hydraulic cylinder head. It seems to get pinched, and eventually wear through the rubber housing and then the inner mesh housing.Any thoughts would be appreciated.

DJE: 1981- Beginning Serial Number (BSN)=1000 ; 1982 - BSN=3448; 1983 - BSN=5613; 1984 - BSN=8957; 1985 - BSN=13001; 1986 - BSN=18501; 1987 - BSN=22601; 1988 - BSN=26401. Seems your tractor, SN16319, is a 1985. John Deere has an 800 number where you can order manuals (owner's or service or parts) for almost everything they have ever made. The manuals cost more than you might think. Probably $30 to $50 for an owner's manual and $50 to $100 for a service manual for tractors. Plus shipping. I don't have the 800 number handy, but you can probably get it from the JD web site. Up until a few years ago, JD published a $2.50 manual listing all the manuals they had written. They don't do this any more, but I'm sure some dealers still have copies of this that they would let you look at. It's pretty much the only way to know what was written about any particular piece of equipment. And it probably doesn't cost anything more to order a manual through a dealer than it would to order it yourself via the 800 number. Good luck.

Murf, the Brush Brute sounds interesting. Does this allow the tractor to "bulldoze" the trees out? I'm located in Wisconsin. Thanks.

Has anyone with a 4200-4400 HST tractor had problems with their hydro transmissions slipping while backing down a hill, such as found on a pond berm. Mine will slip for a second and then catch and two seconds later will slip for another second and then catch... When mowing around trees and slowly traveling in reverse or forward on fairly level ground, the tractor will do the same thing. Also, when mowing around trees or other objects, and the forward and reverse pedals are used a lot, after moving backward in reverse and letting up on the pedal, the tractor stops instantly instead of quickly slowing and stopping. One last transmission issue is that about once a week, when traveling forward at full speed in second range axle and letting up on the forward pedal, the tractor freewheels and just keeps going for a few seconds before it starts to slow and stops. Have any of you experienced any of these issues, have any ideas about their cause or have had any of them corrected by your dealer? When my tractor goes in for a fogging dash replacement, new front axles and some other minor fixes, I would like to have the transmission problem fixed too and welcome ideas from any of you with similar experiences.

I had a Ford 1220 with 17HP, I tried a 50" brush cutter and brought it back after 10 minutes and got a 60". Brush cutters take less power then a finishing lawnmower. The only thing is, you have to be able to manuver in sometimes rough ground, so I had to add 100# on the front end, to counter the extra weight of the bigger deck, but it was worth it,the extra width does a better job of cutting,it doesn't seem to leave any brush in the wheel tracks, and you can always take a narrower bite as previously stated.

I purchased a 16' trailer with electric brakes on one of two axles. I got it all hooked up to the truck to include the electric brake switch. Purchased the registration plate too. Took the trailer for a few shake down runs and everything seemed to work fine. Bought 3 10,000 lb. hold down straps and only used two of them (I have a spare). I put the JD4100 tractor with FEL and ballast box on the trailer today and we went for a ride. Completed the job my sister wanted done, returned home safely, off loaded everthing, unhooked everything and put it away. Backing the trailer around in a limited space was a real challenge. Trailering requires constant attention, a detailed hookup, and more preparation than you would initally believe. It was a lot of work but I can now move my tractor to any job site that my truck can pull it to. Figure on $200 - $300 above the initial cost of the trailer to make it operational and $50 to register it in Michigan.

Get the industrial tires. They don't tear up turf like AG tires, and have almost or about the same traction. They're thicker and tougher to puncture than either the turf or AG. Only downside-they ride stiff. Also I agree wholeheartedly with the previous posting that suggests that sometimes smaller is better. Nothing gets in the way in tight places like a machine too large for the job. One of the most important purchase decisions IMHO is to properly size for your needs (far more important than brand). Of course don't undersize, but just as important not to oversize

Actually the tractor starts fine it just acts like it is flooded for a breif period of time. After warm up it runs just fine and has plenty of power. A cold start after it was returned from the dealer produced some blue/grey smoke but not nearly as much as before. Still, the idle and top speed do not seem to be nearly as smooth as before. I strongly suspect a NEW set of injectors would cure the problem.

Amen to that Mike! This brings up a point that I forgot to mention. It's the point that drives my view home, reguardless of markups, who's willing to pay the most ect....

Isn't it better to make something off a sale, then make nothing by losing a potental client with an insulting quote? Or what the heck, they figure for every five they lose, the one sucker who will pay 1,500 or 2,500 more makes up for giving a good deal to the "informed" guy.

Selling a Backhoe is a phone call from the dealer, for a nice little profit.
Seems there should be some room in the price to stay competitive, requardless of the price break Woods gives them.

I am not saying that dealers should give tractors and implements away, but some sort of "competitive"price structure would be great. I know that on the John Deere tractors, almost four different dealers were within 1,000.00, so there was some sanity to it. And that was on a 14,000.00 machine. Why such a problem with a 5,000.00 implement. Well I don't think I can get anyone to side with me anyway, but it was nice to complain a little..........

Gentlemen, I have just purchased a 1965 German Manufactured Eicher Puma 30Hp Twin Cylinder Air cooled Vineyard Tractor. Although in very good condition and fully working I would like to know if spares or implements can still be purchased. My Father-in-Law had two, the one that I purchased and another that was not complete, which I partly restored. This has also been sold but the new owner will require parts to complete its restoration.
In addition, I have some documentation but a source of manuals (in English!) would be VERY usfull.
Any information gratefully received

Tom...That's great news! I am wondering about the pipe sleeve that the shaft is supposed to run inside of. Is there any indication of it? Is it missing? it might be handy to have...especially if you are going to be doing any mowing in high stuff.

I took a day off yesterday to take delivery of my new JD 4600 hydro. When my dealer pulled in the driveway I noticed a tremendous look of despair. Two miles from my home the hood came unlatched and broke splintered the cowl. It looks ugly. Needless to say, I didn't take delivery. I am starting to think that this was divine intervention and that the message was "Buy the TC40D Boomer". I am convinced that I have been getting that message. In any event, I signed the documents on the 4600 and I (and JD Credit) own a new tractor.I had originally planned on picking the tractor myself in order to get the tractor a day or two earlier. I suppose the hood problem would have been mine (and my insurance co.) as soon as I left the dealers lot. Tip of the week for JD 4000 owners, Check your hood latch closely before you trailer.

I opted to by my New Holland from out of state. Even if I could have afforded the JD, the local JD dealer was not someone that I wanted to deal with. You could tell that this particular dealer thought that both his and the tractors he was selling poop didn't stink. Sorry, but I don't need to be talked down to so that I could spend my hard earned ~$15,000. I liked the Kubota dealer, unfortunately for him, he couldn't come close to the price for a tractor with similar features. I support him through purchasing implements, miscellaneous part, etc. Then I had the choice between two New Holland dealers about equal distance from home, on in state and one out of state. The one in state was way off on price. So the tax situation you mention was an added bonus. Cha-ching.

Joe,

Have you had any luck renting a post hole digger from Rental Unlimited? If so, how large of an auger can be gotten. I'm looking to dig some holes for a deck, which according to Loudoun County, require an 18 in diameter. I would like to get as close to that as possible, then dig the remainder by hand since enlarging a hole is usually easier than starting from scratch.

My other option is to rent a skid steer w/ the auger attachment for about $250/day.

I just took delivery on a TC 25 with the NH 7308 loader today (yeah!) and the manual for the loader gives different capacities when mounted on different tractors. (776# for 1715, 1320, 1520, 1620, 800# for the TC 25, 29, 33, 1725, 1925, 1530, 1630, 920# for the 1720, and 1020# for the 1920). It is stated that these are all at 1800 PSI, 2800 RPM . So it appears that these capacities are influenced by the strength (front axle?) and weight (counter balance) of the tractor, not the loader.
