I have a 4500 John Deere with folding ROPS and a Hard side Curtis Cab. The cab is great and both the ROPS and cab clear my 8'garage door. The cab is 6 to 8" I believe than the ROPS. JAL

That's good pricing on the 790. The SCV is primarily for the FEL. It puts a control arm on your right side, and 2 pairs of hydraulic connections towards the front of the tractor on the left side. Those connections could also be used for anything that mounts up front and needs hydraulics, e.g. a rotary broom, front mount snowblower (both of which require the mid-point PTO option). The "price fighter" is a marketing thing, not sale. It simply means a basic, few frills CUT that will get the job done and has very little markup from the dealer - so you probably won't be able to dicker on the price.

I purchased the Tractor in central Pennsylvania. I bought it "used", but it only had 40 hours on it.

Hey fellas I just traded a 2000 TC29 for a 2001 TC35. The TC29 operated flawlessly and I hope the TC35 works out as well. Looking for feedback regarding the TC35. By the way I paid $11,900 for the 2000 TC29, and after calculating the trade-in and difference $14,400 for the 2001 TC35. Both units have the deluxe 3 pt., folding ROPS and R-4 tires. J.Dubbs

I'll take a little on both sides here, I do enjoy what I do and being able to help people. Often I find even with the companies I work with that the advertising they do can be misleading. Not all are high on the tales but some are close to promising the sun,the moon, and a few bright stars all at the same time. Just picking up on what Gary said, does JD build the whole tractors in Georgia or just assemble them there? Resale is another point, in my area many dealers when trading work from retail to come up with huge allowances instead of working from a cash outright number or a more realistic price to begin with. I've heard it many times that if you will give me the same allowance as the other dealer I'll buy it, only to find that I could buy that unit all day long for thousands less. It is the bottom line that counts not what it takes to get there. On the questions of the PTO operation put a 5' or 6'cutter on them and try and shift the gears. See or I should say listen to the difference in shifting speed with out grating gears. I also learn from the many people on this site as to what makes you want to buy and why. Please before you buy do try all the tractors being considered. Be sure you feel comfortable with the place you are at and with the people who work there. Bast of Luck to all!

Daren,
That is really a great price! That is for the 'D' series, right? Other than the standard features for the 'D' series what exactly did your quote include? i.e. 4wd, type of tires, loaded tires, high-low loader joystick, type of loader (16LA), etc. Also could you provide me with a contact and location of the dealer. Your help would be greatly appreciated. take care.

CW,according to my JD Tractor book (1918-1994)
At the time they were tested at the Nebraska Test Center, the 1250,1450 and 1650 Tractors set nine records for fuel efficiency and lugging ability. The 1650 was the most fuel-efficient tractor ever tested, regardless of horsepower.
The 1450 ranked number one among "currently available" tractors in the 45-to 55-hp class.
In the category for 35-to 45-hp, the 1250 offered the greatest lugging ability at 80% of rated engine rpm among tractors tested at this time.
The 1250 was powered by a naturally-aspirated 143 cu.in.3-cylinder diesel engine, while a 190 cu.in.4-cylinder diesel powered the 1450 (naturally aspirated) and 1650 (turbocharged). All three models had 3-range sliding-gear collar-shift transmissions giving nine forward and three reverse speeds.
The 1250 was rated at 40.70 PTO hp, the 1450 at 51.39 PTO hp, and the 1650 at 62.22 PTO hp.

1982........1001

1984........3001
1985........4001
1986........5001
1987........5501
1988........5785
The low proudction numbers explains why they are hard to find.
Hope this helps.

I have (or I should say had) the same problem with my JD4500 and 460 loader. I cut the joy stick off just above the offset in the shaft, threaded the end of the shaft and threaded the control knob back on---Problem solved. I also shortened the gearshift lever in a loke manner. I now have plenty of room in the operators station and at 6'4" the controls are in a natural position for me to reach. You would be amazed how this improves operator comfort and control.

Not knowing your location, what we have found to be excellent trees that will probably not reach the 20 ft. mark in a while are Black Hills Spruce. They make excellent windbreak trees. Short needles, very dense foliage to the ground level, and heat and cold tolerant. Cons: slower growing. Plant 5-6 ft. trees, wait 3 years and then they will take off pretty good. We average under irrigation at least 8 inches year minimum. Depends on soil type, and moisture.
Virginia Junipers may work well also, or Arborvitae, in shorter form. Techny or Pyrimidal Arborvitae are good. Just be cautious of cold north winds if less than Zone 4, can windburn.

I bought a JD 790 last spring and suffered the same battery terminal corrosion problem. I think it's caused by el-cheapo battery terminal connectors. I just replaced the connectors, cleaned everything up, put on a little grease and everything has been fine ever since.

Old Forge:
I am also looking at a TC45. I have raised the question on Hydro vs. Sycro and my dealer who has been a farmer all his life too, says the factory said it is virtually impossible to burn up a hydraulic motor on these machines because you can't pull the "guts" enough out of them to do any damage. I have currently a John Deere 955 hydro and love it. I wouldn't have anything else. I have pulled it pretty hard and doesn't seem to effect it. Just make sure your are in low range. In the "old days" a clutch pickup was better for pulling stock trailers, and a geared tractor was better for plowing, discing, etc. IH and their TA transmission (hydro) was not very good for pulling plows, etc. The TA's would literally burn up and you put in a new several thousand dollar transmission. Todays hydrostats are build a lot better and they will serve the purpose I think. We have a tree farm, so the TC45 should do the job well in all that it will be used for. HYDRO is my choice.

Thanks for all the information. I ended up ordering an Erskine 600R. It is a 60" rear mounted blower with 18" 4-bladed fan. The blower was delivered tonight and it really does blow some snow! I tried it out in one of the remaining snow drifts and it really blasted the snow over a long distance. The blower weighs 500 lb, but pto power requirement is only 16 hp (minimum). It seems to be really heavy built and has a poly chute liner and adjustable skid shoes. Again thanks for all the good advise.

Hello and Happy New Year. I visited the Power-Trac facility on 12-27&28. This equipment is built tough and rugged and versatile. I would recommend that anyone considering the purchase of a compact tractor, an articulating tractor, heavy duty utility machine, whatever you want to call it, should take a serious look at PT. As was stated earlier, these machines are descendants of heavy duty deep mine equipment and the PT machines show it. I bought the PT-425 and received it today, 01-03-01. I can't wait for snow, grass, or whatever. The business is family owned and operated and employs around 40 people. They provided overnight accomodations, and about a two hour training session for my buddy and myself. IMHO the best value for a dollar. Talk to ya later.

According to the parts manual:

Canopy #TY15720 .... this is just the roof and attaching pieces

Weather enclosure frame and windshield #TY15722 ... this is the front windshield

Weather enclosure door,curtain, and motor cover #TY15722 ... this is the right (non-opening) side, the left door, and the engine cover. The second and third show up as different pages, but have the same part number (I jes read 'em)

If you check them out at the dealer, let me know what they want to charge you.

I have a 790 and I'm using a Meteor, 5' 3pt snowblower.

Low gear is 0.9 mph, which is plenty slow. High gear is 3.1mph. If you're going down long stright, high is fine. If you're maneuvering around things, low is perfect. I must admit that a "middle" would be nice ;)

I haven't had any really deep snow yet, but this is far more powerful than any walk-behind could dream of, so I'm not at all worried about when that kind of snow does get to me :)

The 1910 and 1920 are both very sturdy, reliable tractors as a rule. Give the advantage to the 1920 in the following areas: Separate fully hydrostatic power steering, in leiu of the power-assist from a priority valve/single pump on the 1910, this is a big advantage, along with the '20's higher flow rate. Shuttle from F to R in any gear, good for many applications, not especially critical for many others. 1920 not so dependent on preheating with glowplugs as the 1910. 1920 is SUBSTANTIALY easier to perform basic service and most repairs on than the 1910, but that still isn't too bad compared to other brands. Are the advantages worth the price difference? If condition was comparable, I would give the 1920 serious consideration, and the longer you plan to keep it, the more I would lean towards it. Great Bend makes a very good loader, and the new series of Woods loaders are very good, too, much better than those models they replace.

I saw one at the Northern store in Des Moines yesterday. They do look a little unrefined up close but with $$$$$ comes refinement and creature comforts. Looks like to me you are getting raw tractor. The catalog showed a 25hp unit for 6995.00. I'd say if maintainence parts are available and you like a tractor without all the bells and whistles it might be the ticket. I would sure look into the extended warranty also. Don't think I sell the NH just yet!

How odd. I have a 4300 with the 420 loader and 72" mid-mount and do not have any conflicts. Usually I take th eloader off when I put the mower on, but have had both on at once. I admit it is a pain to get at the front mount lever / knob, but otherwise it works.
