You need to at least go look at, and try to operate, each of the big three. They all make some fine tractors, and you ought to buy the one that feels best to you. Of course, I have had a B7100 and now have a B2710 and think the Kubota is first choice (sorry, Dusty).

I can't even remember just when I found the Compact Tractor Board; I think it was last July or August, and I don't really remember how I found it the first time, but I bookmarked it then and check it for new messages nearly every day. Sorry I can't give a better answer for your survey, but I sure do enjoy and appreciate the work you've done.

Danny, I have the TC29D with R4 tires and love em! Mow about 4 acres without a problem. Most marks are made when backing in a turn. Even then next day they are gone. I don't think turf tires would last long in my pasture. Lots of thorns and saplings. R4's are great for Loader work too. Donald

Hey, Ya know size is one of those things that's different for everyone. I was planning to get a Kubota untill New Holland came out with the Boomers and then decided to get a TC21D. 27 Acres, 1/2 mile driveway, 4 ac yard, 10 ac Hay, 8 ac pasture. I figured the 21 hp would do th job. Ended up getting the TC29D with the Frontend Loader & I'm very glad I did. The 21 would have done the job, but the 29 does it much better, and with less work for the tractor. Size is like buying a truck. Three things to consider; 1. What will do the job, 2. what do I want, 3. What can you afford. It was taking about 7 hours to mow the lawn, now with a 60" 3pt hitch mower it takes about 2 1/2. One thing to keep in mind. I'd buy bigg enough that I don't have to rent. If I can't do it with my Boomer, I don't need to do it. I don't guess I really answered your question, buy maybe I gave you more to think about. Donald

Yep that was me. I never had the problem anymore. The tractor never overheated at all, in fact the temp gauge will only get about halfway in 100 + degree weather. The problem was with the power steering in real hot weather, and it started happening right after I changed the fluids at 50 hours. My dealer picked up the tractor and, after talking with Kubota they changed the hydraulic fluids again, and I never had the problem again (so far). When I changed the fluids I put super UDT in there, which they recommend for cold weather generally, but don't discourage for hot weather. My dealer says they put super UDT back in, but I have my doubts.

I will see how the tractor does when it gets real hot again and keep everyone posted.

Sorry, Mike, I couldn't see my first response so I assumed it failed. Turf vs R4 was my toughest decision; I still don't know if I made the best one for my needs. My only real concern is vulnerability of the turf tires (especially the fronts) when working in the woods or in any kind of stubble. Traction is not a big concern: I'll just pick up a $125 set of rear chains from tirechains.com if I find I need more traction in snow or mud. From experience I don't think that R4's are that great for traction anyhow, but they are tough. The tires are not squatting right now, but I haven't loaded up that front bucket with stone yet either. I'll probably end up wishing I had gone with the R4's.

Yes, that answers it. That was my assumption but I wasn't sure and didn't want to ruin something. When I ask the farmers around here they just give you a funny look and say that's how they've always done it, right or wrong.

I am looking at putting in some Evergreen Trees to form a barrior between my house and my down hill neighbor.<br><br>My house has a good view of the valley so I want trees that will go to a max of 20 to 20 feet. So I don't see my neighbor but see over the trees<br><br>I like Douglas Fir trees and White Pine (except deer eat the pine but not the Fir) but I think they will get too big eventually, although I probably won't be here by then, or I could plant a second row later and cut the first one down, I think I am being optimistic about how long I will be in this house also ;-)<br><br>If there is such a thing as an ideal plant for this purpose I'd love to know<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Pete

I would be very interested in buying the mid-mower from you if you buy the tractor, but only if it is the mid-PTO version. They made an electric front clutch version also. Please email me at david@jmcampbell.com if you have it for sale.

Thanks

Yeah, the rockshaft arms are the lift mechanism for a 3-point hitch. I've also seen them referred to as "lift arms".

Peter, I have a 3410HST and mow 7.5 acres with a 90inch rear mower. I LOVE IT! I use to do the same area with a diesel 72inch Toro groudsmater (which I now use for trimming) but at only half the speed and half the comfort. I have hilly land and do a lot of FWD to REV moving so the HST is perfect - on a steep hill just ease up on the pedal to slow down and maintain power - in direction changing the PTO is constant. If you want any more info just contact me.

2000-04-26 I have been told by a JD dealer that 2/3 of list is dealer cost, with some small variations on price leaders like the 790 and<br> some utility tractors (5105, 5205). NH pricing is evidently more complex, running around 80% of list after holdbacks are considered. Can anyone substantiate these allegations?Does anyone know what is happening at Ritchie Tractor (Knoxville)? Jim

2000-04-26Does anyone know the dealer cost on NH products? From what I have seen it is complex, involving holdbacks, high separate charges for wheels and tires, etc.Can anyone shed some light? Does it vary from one model line to another (from boomers to utility tractors, for example)?What is the final word on Ritchie Tractor-anyone know?Jim

Chris is right. My TC29D has the same setup (turfs & loader). The book *and the tires* say max 22 psi (I just looked). Chris, my dealer had 'em inflated to 28 on delivery. I questioned him about that, and he said that was their standard practice for turfs & loader, and they'd never had a problem with that. I compromise and use 25 for loader work, and let them down to 18-20 otherwise. (Less pressure = consideribly softer ride.) I don't use the loader much, so that works OK for me.

I'll second (or third) that suggestion. Get someone with the right big machines to do the initual cleanup and reshaping. He can do in a day what would take you just about forever. You can use the time and money saved to look for a nice 20 to 30 Hp compact or vintage old American farm tractor and enjoy maintaining it. Don't worry; there will be plenty of work left to do. Yes, tractors do last just about forever. Parts are available for just about everything that was ever made, and repairs are easy. Old tractors don't so much break down as they just begin to work less and less well until you finally get around to fixing them.
