Thanks again for everyone's advice.

Frankly, I haven't decided what I'm going to do regarding the 1210. Chances are, it won't be available for long as everyone has mowing on their minds this time of year and this machine is in good shape with only 300+ original hours.

My needs for a compact tractor are 80 percent of the time is finish mowing, 15 percent brush hogging (an important 15 percent) and eventually some loader work around the house and barn.

I have to decide if I should get a known entity for mowing (the 1210), and take a chance that I can figure out a solution for brush hogging. The loader should simply be a matter of finding one. Hmmm...

Sam,
That price also sounds fair to me, assuming it truely was cared for. Your question of which mower is better depends on you. The 60" will obviously cut more grass per pass, but will be a little more prone to scalp than the 54". This is true with any mower as deck size increases. We needed the 54" to fit between our fence and a few of our mature trees. My advice is to stay away from one of those lesser expensive aftermarket mowers. The JD mower may be more expensive but when it comes time to installation & removal, you'll save yourself alot of headaches. I mention this because you have a loader. So far, I've taken my mower deck off about 10 to 20 times per year for loader work. In the beginning I tried using it with the deck attached, and still do for "certain" things, but soon found using the loader with the mower attached is asking for trouble. Guys here on the CTB said it, but I didn't listen, well now I'm part of the "been there, done that" club. The risk of damaging the deck isn't worth the 5 minutes it takes to remove it. OMO. Happy Tractoring.

Hello Marty. I am new to the board and noticed your post about prices in your area. They sure are good prices. I have been given a price of $4950 for a YM1601D in my area of Tidewater, Virginia. I wonder if I could do better by dealing with whomever it was you dealed with and just pay for shipping. I may come out better in the long run. The dealership you dealt with, do they have a web page or email address by any chance? Any help would be appreciated because I would really like to get the best deal possible for my money.

Thanks

Is there something in the tank (foriegn body) that rolls over and blocks the fuel egress? Is it more likely to happen at full throttle and/or with a low tank?

In case anybody is wondering, I've decided to keep the industrial tires. I've mowed the yard twice with it and have no complaints about marks left by the tires. The industrial tires do leave some marks in the wet soft areas of the yard, but the marks go away after a day two. Actually, the caster wheels on the mower do as much or more damage as the tractor tires. Where the ground is dry, there's no problem. I also used the tractor to disk my garden with a 6' wide 20 blade disk and the industrial tires worked great. The garden was still wet and muddy from last week's rain and the disk kept plugging up, but the tires never loaded up and the tractor handled the disk easily.

Bought our 4WD 4100HST with 410 loader, ballast box, rear weights, and 54" mower for $16k. Didn't look at NH due to the one and only dealer's location, but a friend owns a TC33 supersteer and it is an awesome machine. Loader/mower installation & removal on the 4100 can easily be completed in less than 5 minutes. So far, the only complaint I have on the 4100 itself is lack of folding ROPS. Otherwise it is an excellent machine and VERY capable for a 20hp unit. Naturally, it would be nice if it had more power, but like one of the other guys said. You'll never here anyone say "This tractor has too much power" regardless of the size in question.

Since you are in Tidewater Virginia, I assume you have talked to Beverage Tractor, they handle Yanmars. They are located just east of Charlottesville and west of Charlottesville in Stuart Draft. I have visited them looking at their tractors but I have not yet purchased. Looking at JD 790, it is made by Yanmar.

I have a new John Deere 4300 hydro with a 420 loader. Occasionally, with the 3 point hitch raised, I hear the hydraulic system cycle (sounds like when you raise the hitch, but the hitch is already raised) and the hitch moves slightly. Does anyone know what's going on here?

Mark, all the tractors you named are good ones. Go drive each of them and see which one "feels" best and most comfortable to you. Being a Kubota owner, I know I'd go for the Kubota, but that's a personal preference. And you really need to operate both a GST and HST. I know there are people who prefer a GST; that's the reason they make both, and as long as there are people who prefer them, they should keep on making them, but personally I have a hard time imagining why anyone would want the GST over the HST, which just seems so much simpler, quicker changing directions, safer, etc., especially if you're going to be using a front end loader. In other words, I'd go for the larger Kubota with HST, but if you drive any tractor and there's something that doesn't feel right to you, and you buy it, it'll probably get worse instead of better with time. Buy the one you're happiest with.

The deck is now fixed. NH would not replace the gear box, but the dealer did on his own. He felt due to the problems I had experienced, it was the right thing to do. HE also sent out a brand new Bush Hog rear mount finish mower for me to use while mine was out of service. Like I said before, the dealer here has made all the diference. NH has called me a couple of times, but really hasn't offered much of anything. They said they were "sorry" for the number of breakdowns. I guess I shouldn't complain, at least they called and showed concern. That is more than some do. They called the dealer, but my issues weren't with him in the first place, they were with NH's area rep. I did notice that the deck was much harder to install than any I have owned. It won't fit under the tractor when equipped with Super Steer. We had to jack the machine up for both installation and removal. Everything is running good now, so time will tell how it holds up. Good luck with your Boomer.

I know this is an old post, but did you buy the F1900. Sounds like a lot of hours. But for $3,500 with a loader sounds pretty reasonable. A loader cost $3000.00 new. If you did buy the tractor, how is it holding up. I purchased a F1900 recently with a 6' mower and blade for $3000.00. It only had 600 hours though. I have found it to be a very nice tractor and it does a good job for what I need it for, mainly mowing.

I've been listening in to you folks for a month or two and someone tell me if I'm on the right track as far as what prices you all have been negotiating with your dealers. TC25D base price $11,500<br>TC29D base price $12,500<br>TC33D base price $13,500 A NH loader (model 7308) goes for $3,049-$3,100<br> A 60" belly mower goes for about $2,100<br> Super steer costs $1,550<br> Dealer should let you choose turfs/R4s or AgsThis is kinda of a consolidation of a whole bunch of your posts and I'm hoping these are prices I can start with when I go in to seriously bargain. They are way lower than what I was first quoted on a quick drive by stop in.Let me know where I'm high or low so I can be as informed as the dealer (or as best as we can hope for).<br>
