Stray voltage is usually in relation to dairy milking facilities. Alot of electrical wiring that is by pipes that can be induced with a current. Plus it is a wet enviroment. The cows have 4 legs & are a better conductor of electricity plus they're being milked , so that is another source to ground. With building milking facilities it is recommended that all metal be grounded. There has also been a problem of utilities having a fed back through their ground/nuetral. Many times they have denied it, but when the farm's ground/ nuetral is isolated from the utilities', the problem disappears.

Danny, apparently Tisco's web site is for dealers only, but you can send them an e-mail and ask for the location of the nearest dealer (or call around to tractor dealers and ask if they handle Tisco products). And different dealers sure use different price sheets. One dealer quoted me a price of $861 for the "kit" plus $100 to $150 if they installed it and for individual parts; $240+ for the two spool valve, $220 each for cylinders, etc. I HOPE I picked up all the components I need today and the dealer I got mine from charged $203.84 for the valve and $185.70 each for the cylinders, but by the time I got the handles, knobs, linkage kits, hoses made, fittings, etc., I spent $760+ today and now I just have to find time to see if I can install it all. Of course $69 of that was a hydraulic block for my Kubota that you wouldn't need if you use the power beyond port on your loader valve. Try the link below to contact Tisco.

I'll try to address some of your questions. Some good boxblade are made by: Landpride, Monroe Toughline, Bushhog, Rhino, Woods, and lots more. Buy the heaviest blade you can afford, they work better and last longer. For the money, I've had good luck with the Landpride equipment. Usually you should buy a blade that is about the same width as your rear wheels (or a bit wider). I don't believe you can extend your axles, but most of us reverse our rear wheels so that the tractor has a wider stance. Most people use a good heavy box blade for rear ballast when using a loader, but it depends on how heavy the material is in your front bucket. Most box blades only weigh 400-600 pounds, and you may need to use something else for rear ballast if you are moving very heavy material in your loader. Liquid filling rear tires or using wheel weights are another way to add weight. Some people add weight to the box blade or use a carryall with weight. Of course, there is also the ballast box which is designed for this purpose. Lots of options. The loader is excellant front end ballest for using rear implements. Also, if you should need more front end weight than the loader and frame provide, then you could just pick up a bucket of something to add weight.

Well now the boss says build it as big as I can. She has visions of storage space dancing in her head. I don't see it turning into a kennel (my wife doesn't have the time for any animals other than me), but knowing women as I do, some $$ now may save a battle later. I just started drawing the plans for conduit etc. under the cement floor. This will be so much easier and better thanks to the ideas from everyone. I have contacted an individual re: purchasing the materials for the floor heat for the shop and forced air possibly for the infrequent times I would heat the machine storage area. Now I sit back and wait for the first estimate to come in.

I know that the pricing for hydraulic stuff is pretty high, so I think that the $200 was actually a good price. What I meant is that I can do an awful lot of reaching aound and handcranking before I can justify the chute rotator to myself... maybe by the end of this season I'll think differently ;)

Brian,if you search the archives on this board for 4000 series problems,you will find you're not alone.Deere has had a lot of problems with the early models such as yours.From what I have seen lately,Deere is trying to address the problems,and improve on the newer models.I'm not Deere bashing here,I would say for every 1 unhappy owner,there are 100 happy ones.But if I were you I would try to obtain an extended warranty from the dealer or Deere,so you're covered until they get the bugs worked out.If that does'nt set with you,than I would try to sell or trade,there is nothing worse than being disatisfied with anything you have purchased.I know this has crossed your mind,and you feel like you'll lose your butt,but a mans pease of mind is worth quit a bit.

Haven't seen or heard anything to indicate NH is pursuing that. I can tell you Woods loaders offer quick-tach adapters compatible with most brands of skid loaders. We haven't mounted any on TC class III's yet, but have on 1920's and class II TC's. Don't know if a Woods in that size would be SuperSteer compatible, something to check on.

My tractor doesn't have a decompression lever. I believe they are found mostly on some older Kubotas. If you've got one, the tractor probably won't start at all with the valve in. As Roger mentioned, diesels are compression ignition engines. No compression, no heat, no ignition. However, a decompression lever can help starting by allowing the starter to spin the engine faster for awhile. Then, starting is easier when the lever is released. It was around 25F yesterday and snowing. My wife threatened to start shoveling out the drive entrance, so I figured I better get the tractor out even though it was still snowing. It was too late in the day to plug in the block heater, so I just started up the tractor. Thirty seconds on the glow plugs, and it took right off. Knocked a little more than usual, but not bad. Ordinarily I use the block heater for about an hour when it's just below freezing, but I don't have to rely on it at those temperatures. The dealer undoubtedly didn't offer a solution for how to keep the tractor warm (having a heated service garage spoils a person's perspective I guess), but he'd probably sell you a block heater. That's probably a pretty good idea even in the South. Of course, having a plug in near the tractor might be my own case of spoiled perspective.

I've been considering the purchase of a Great Bend 220 loader for my JD4100. The specs seem to be the same as the JD 410 loader, but the price is $500 less. I will be using the original JD SCV valve and joystick that was factory installed. My dealer tells me that even though he's a Deere dealer, he sells a lot of Great Bend loaders due to price. According to him, he's had no quality complaints, and the only real difference is that the JD loader detatches a little quicker with pins, while the Great Bend requires the removal of 2 bolts. Great Bend is a subsidiary of Bush Hog company. Any thoughts on this? Anyone have a Great Bend loader?

As I consider moving up to a TC35D and a quality rear mount/rear discharge mower, I am wondering whether its large R-3's or R-4's would mash the grass the least before the mower mows the grass.<br>

Ben,
I also looked at the 790 in the Spring/Summer 2000, but chose a NH TC29 and have recently traded to a NH TC35. However, the best price I found was $10,900, and at the time JD advertised this price as the best in its compact tractor class(25 gross hp). It is a good price due to JD's new 4000 series(4100-4700) is competing with the 790, especially the 4200-4300, which is nearest in hp. My NH dealer also deals JD and claims that the 790 is an incredibly reliable unit with little trouble as compared to the multiple problems with the 4000 series as posted on this board. Good Luck. J. Dubbs.

I know the specs on the 1250 and I appreciate the serial number info. I'm looking for history from owners. I had a 750MFWD and the fuel economy and it's ability to lug really made it shine. Later, had a 970MFWD and though it's economy and pto hp were fine, it didn't lug well. The dealer wouldn't stand behind it and was having problems, so traded for Kubota L35 TLB. Still, I need more pto than the L35 produces and was looking for a 40 pto machine and thought the JD1250 MFWD would be right up my alley for 6' bushogging and 6 1/2' wet snowblowing. But want to know about longevity, durability, economy and performance. CW

Kevin:

Yes! That price was for the 790 with mfwd, R1 and DSCV. It did not include a mid-PTO. As I said, both dealerships that I deal with gave me comparable prices in that range. Maybe John Deere has raised their MSRP on the 790 since then. Those prices were quoted during a program John Deere had in Canada that ended at the end of last Oct. Good hunting.

The JD loader for a 750 is a 67, but good luck finding one. I got one for my 750 back around 91 or 92, and the local dealer here in Maine hadda shop around to find one. Finally got one out of Indiana.

I, too, am "big-boned" (plus I don't miss many meals) and have found my right thigh constantly in competition with the DSCV control on my 4400. It helped some to move the seat up closer than I normally would, especially for using the reverse hydro pedal. I'm going to strongly consider the suggestion to decaptitate the DSCV contol lever - this might work out well.
