Keith... I came down to the same two tractors. I got a NH TC29D last fall, and so far have no regrets. Two things mainly decided me - at that time there was a *long* waiting time for 4000-series HST JDs, and I really liked the ergonomic features of the NH. I think the long lead time issue has eased a little, but I think NH still has everybody else beat in ergonomics (things like the telescoping 3-pt ends, swivel seat, control placement, etc). A good dealer is important... I had some minor after-delivery issues that were taken care of promptly and cheerfully. I got the TC29D, 7308 loader, and a Land-Pride 6-ft rear finish mower. Already had some other things; previously had an old Ford 8N. I think they're both good tractors, but there's my 2 cents.

Joe, I have a 75 loader on my 950. I am pleased with it's performance. Don't know much about the 70 or 70A. I would say the 75 loader is built better since the loader is not of the quick attachment type. It literally bolts to the frame of the tractor. According to the JD 75 owner's manual (OM-W21459 Issue C9) the loader ift capacity is rated at 750 lbs. (This varies as what size tractor it's going on. Breakout capacity is at 1710 lbs. Loader weight is 883 lbs! Clearance of bucket when level and dumped: 87 and 75 inches respectively (again depends on tractor/tire size). The only other thing I can recommend to you is that loaded tires and power steering are a must for adequate performance. Hope this information helps and Good Luck on the project.

Great point about the stability on steep hills. The lower center of gravity that the BX2200 has would definitly be more stable.

droz, adjust the height you want with the rear wheel, then adjust the height of the front of the cutter with the 3-point (higher in front if you want to mulch the material more, higher in the rear to cut faster or to take less horsepower, or level like I usually do). Then adjust the top link to match what you have done. I'm not sure I'm explaining this where you can easily understand, but yes, you want that rear wheel always rolling on the ground (unless you're picking the whole thing up with the 3-point to back over the top of heavier brush). You can adjust the 3-point so that you simply let it all the way down and the top link will keep the front of the cutter from going on down to the ground.

John:

Great Bend, Bush Hog and Woods all make quality "after market" front end loaders. I just purchased a Great Bend loader for my Ford/NH for $700 less than the NH Loader. The two loaders match up well specs wise. The generic control lever on the Great Bend doesn't look as pretty as the NH but for $700 savings I can live with it. Check out the sites below for more info on these three companies. Great Bend and Bush Hog are now both owned by Allied Products so the equipment is virtually identical. Anyways, for specs see manufacturer's websites.

Danny, you hit on the problem, all right. When I had the B7100 and bought the RTS40 3-point tiller, they were both 40" wide, so I planted my rows 5' apart and could till between them. Now that I have the B2710 with an outside tread of 54", I planted the rows 47" apart and use the cultivator plow. I have the tiller offset to cover the tracks on the right side only for getting the garden ready to plant.

Chris I have a 4300 w/12x12 syncreverser and I really like it also thats the only trans. the comes with creeper gear in it for free.You pay a good deal more for creeper in any other trans. It is great for going down steep hills or pulling plows and such. Ken

i gave up trying to pull that stuff years ago after I found out how allergic to it I was and it never did any real good anyway because I never could get all the roots out. I spray Brush-Be-Gone, 2,4,D and Roundup although I've never been a big fan of Roundup. I've seen healthy weeds outgrow the killing effects of Roundup because it works so slowly. All that spray gets to be expensive over the course of a year so I'll have to try Murf's hot water treatment. They also make a "Weed Wand" with a hollow handle that you fill with chemical and it has an absorbant tip that you use to wipe the weeds with the killer. It might be OK if you don't want to spray and it's faster than painting the chemical on. Good luck.

I would like to know how you Boomer users rate the 914a mid mount mower(60 and 72 inch)for the quality of the cut. I currently mow with a small(42 inch)Toro zero radius mower, which gives me an excellent cut, but it is an awful lot of miles when mowing 3.5 acres. I have a 9n with a 72 inch Bush Hog finish mower which cuts real nice, but the maneuverabilty with it is terrible.It takes about the same amount of time with each. I have driven a TC29d in the dealers lot, but they are 40 miles away, which makes getting a demo a little tough.I don't want see how it cuts on someone elses yard, just mine. My yard is flat with not many obstacles,but I keep it extemely well maintained.I would like to consilidate my various equipment into one unit. Also how much vacuum does the deck produce for blade lift and even discharge? Thanks in advance.

The 2910 has 30 hp/22 hp PTO versus 2710 27 hp/20 PTO.

The additional features of the 2910 over the 2710 are: cruise control, ratcheting 3 point lift rod, telescopic lower link end on 3 point, telescopic/tilt steering, and "parallel link" seat suspension (springs).

The 2910 should cost around $1000 more than the 2710. Prices I've been quoted for 2170 with LA402 loader are around $16,000 to $17,000.

Well, I appreciate all of your input!

I signed on the dotted line today and should receive my 2910 towards the end of next week. Hopefully I'll be able to soon offer MY wisdom towards other newbies on the subject (and hopefully how great my tractor purchase decision was too)!

Thanks again!

Michael, My tractor is 54" wide at the side walls- the mower is 72" wide there is not enough travel in the 3 point sway bars to get the mower past the tire, but the next time I use it I'm going to see how far I can move it and see if it helps any.
Thanks Dana

I have a mid '80's b7100 that I mounted a 3 pt Woods 6500 on. Hoe works great but is a bit too heavy for this tractor. I added 100 more pounds up front and the machine is now a bit more steady but the front wheels still come off the ground in some situations. If I was to do it again I'd consider the sub frame mount instead of the 3pt. The sub frame would be much more solid and it looks like the hoe would not extend out as far. This might keep the weight of the hoe closer in behind the rear wheels and keep the tractor more stable.

delkiss, I don't have a "tooth bar", but what I've seen of them indicates it is a fine, and perhaps almost necessary, accessory if you are going to try to do any serious digging with a front end loader, but they are not cheap (the reason I don't have one). Click on Carver's banner and you can get some prices there for a start.

Rob, In 1997, my Bush Hog squealer came without a guard of any kind. I tried making my own rubber guard, and it didn't last long, so I made my own chain guard. I now have a Howse 500 and I made rubber guards for it, and promptly tore them up. I don't know of anywhere you can get generic chain guards, but am very surprised to hear that Bush Hog doesn't have them for the squealer anymore. Of course, all the ones I've seen were quite expensive, and I'd sure like to know about it if you find them anywhere except from the manufacturer of the brush hog.

Used 4200 or new 790 any advise is welcom
