I am looking at a 4300 with belly mower,430 loader,47 backhoe and 4 wheel with turf all for around 29K. Its a 32 hp machine. What measures up in the new holland line? How does the price compare?

I called a local dealer and he said they would be a big 1K less-not much considering the resale value and availablity of parts compared to the deere.

I have also heard some quicky stories about the NH-can anyone tell me what they think and cost and models

Looking to get into a small landscaping business and don't want to get a tractor that's to small.

The lift capacity on the 460 loader with 4500 tractor is almost double at 2100 lbs so I have mixed feeling about going with the lighter 4300. Also I really would need to bump into a 4600 machine to get the hydro-cost about 10K more.

Trouble is I use the tractor for my yard-3acres to cut the grass so its almost too big if I go 4500-4600

Any suggestion

Tom, you make an interesting point. The zero-turn mower is used for 1 hour each week and the rest of the time it just sits idle. I have $7,000 invested in a machine that is not being fully utilized. I live in Michigan and our mowing season is mid-May to mid-October. If I sell it and put my money into the full-featured TC33D then at least I will be using it all year round. There is something to be said for the spontenaity of having a dedicated mower. 'When I'm ready to mow, I's ready to go'. Meaning, no swapping decks on or off and no taking the FEL off. Just start and go. Another thing on the other end of the spectrum is that I would prefer to mow with a machine with larger tires like the TC33D because I think it will soak up bumps better and be easier on my back.

Yes! I forget who it was that did a lot of work researching filters, cutting them in half etc. a couple of years ago. There's also some pretty good reading about diesel fuel in other threads.

Can't suggest any particular plants. Deer do browse most things but avoid grass. If the problem is landscaping near a house, a dog keeps them in check about as well as anything. That's the usual solution around here. Just giving up and planting enough for the deer too is another solution. Trying fences gets into old country jokes about whether you've got 8' deer or 10' deer in your area.

Gary, I welded my grab hooks to a piece of 1/4 inch thick angle iron (3x3"). Then I bolted this to the top outside bucket edge with grade 8 bolts. On the inside bucket edge, I backed the nuts with a 1/4" flat 3" plate of steel. This is very easy to do, reinforces the bucket edge, and its cheap.

I own a similar generator. Mine would run for a while then start cutting out. I found that the fuel hose went from the tank down below the carburetor then back up to the carb. I rerouted the hose where it made a continuous downward slop to the carb. Now it runs fine. Hope this helps if you are still having problems.

MHarris, Zimmerer on Loop 12 in Irving has a good reputation for service, but you can beat their prices if you don't mind driving south on I-35 to Central Tractor in Waxahachie or Tipton International in Waco.

A yard of, run of the mill gravel weighs approximately 2800 lbs. If your manual tells you what size the bucket is in relation to a yard you should be able to GUESS-TA-MATE what you can carry. On the other hand, being able to carry 600lbs in the bucket really beats the wear and tare on the body.

I would suggest no less than the 72" MMM with the TC29 SS. Seems to me the tractor is 60" wide measured to the outside of the tread. If you buy one, I have been told the rear discharge deck works nicely. I had the side discharge on mine. Also, find out if the recall for the hydro transmission applies to that '99. If there is no warranty, I would have it done first. It requires the tractor to be dismantled and broken twice to get the job done. Good luck.

A few years ago I was talking with my brother on a long drive, and I told him I had this vision, of getting out of the 9-5 as I was in my early 50's. I had this picture of buying a place with a nice house on 50 to 200 acres of land with a gentle contour to it, but not flat like in Indiana.

Anyway, the picture continues... Property taxes low, schools good (got little ones in Kindergarten and low grades still). Rent out some of the land for haying etc.

And on it goes.

My wife and I still would like to do this. The question is where. We are in the midatlantic area and when we drive around it seems too crowded. too expensive for the dream.

Does anyone have a place like this in North america they have found to fit this bill????

I want to put some hooks on the top of my 420 loader bucket on my John Deere 4200 MFWD so I can secure a rope, strap or chain if I need to. The metal there doesn't look the heaviest so I'm planning on bending some plate steel to match the radius of the bucket there and weld to the inside before I attach the hooks. My plan is to weld a solid bead all the way around the four sides of the new reinforcing plate so as to avoid any gaps being homes for dirt and moisture which could lead to premature rusting. Am I thinking of this right here? Then I'd either weld or bolt big loop hooks on either end and in the middle with a couple of clevis chain hooks midway between the ends and the middle hook. I figure that way anything I'd want to do I could from about any position. Any thoughts on doing this or another way to go about it now before I get started?

If you look at the literature closely, you will find that the 1710 Ford 3pt was rated at the ends of the 3pt links instead of two feet behind the link ends as is the standard today. That would account for the difference in lift capacity.
I think that 3pt lift capacity is rated by how much you can lift and maintain steering control with the standard weight distribution. Wheelbase and weight distribution are going to be big players when the manufacturer sets this spec.
