These products may well help. I've also heard of a product that some people spray on loader buckets and blower chutes to keep snow from sticking, which might be an alternative. I'd think about something that forms a thick coating. The costing may crack or be somewhat porous, which could trap moisture under the coating and cause the deck to rust faster.

You've got the open centre idea right, and you almost certainly need an open centre valve. Some after-market valves can be used with either type system. They have a plug that has to be removed for open centre use.

There's a lot of confusion about this power beyond stuff and most of it seems to be terminology. The outlet port of an open centre valve assembly carries flow from the pump, which pumps all the time. If the outlet line from one ordinary valve assembly is hooked to the inlet port of a second valve, then that valve works too, but it runs on cylinder exhaust oil from the first valve when any control valve in the fist assembly is operated. So, I guess that arrangement could be called power-beyond. However, since the return oil from most of these systems goes back into the high-pressure line and on to the 3ph, maybe it could be called power-before. But I guess I'm just adding to terminology confusion here.

I think of power beyond as a type of valve assembly that has two return ports. One for pump flow and another for the cylinder return flow. A PB valve protects an upstream valve from high pressure that may result if a downstream valve (eg. the 3ph) is operated at the same time as an upstream valve (eg. a loader).

I haven't seen one of these power-beyond kits. However, I think they are couplings and hoses that extend a loader PB outlet line to the rear and make it easy to connect an additional valve assembly in the line. There also is length of hose that has to connect the lines when a control valve isn't used. Many simple control valves are built to withstand high pressures and the power beyond issue isn't relevant. However, if a power-beyond type valve assembly is used its TANK line has to be connected somewhere. A t-fitting into the TANK line from the loader valve should work. Extra control valve sections can be added to my loader valve, so it’s not an issue for me. If I’ve got the situation right, the answer to your question of how oil gets to the power beyond port is that the power beyond port carries the pump flow so the oil is already there—it’s just not named very well.

When with a loader power steering is considered a near must, maybe we need to look at other used tractors. For the $1000. savings to buy with out I as a dealer when seeing a tractor that is altered to have one as much as it is a benifit to the tractor I would rather not see that tractor modification or one of that type and would futher discount it's value at trade in time.

I thought that I needed a high snowblower to do my driveway here in central NY do to the snowfall we get. I found that by using a snowblower I didn't have the drifts that piled the snow in when blowing and it was a far easier task with a blower. Is your drive paved or stone? The BX series has been doing a great job here for the owners in this area but what other uses do you have?

Stan the tractor you are looking at is a thirty horsepower hydro and has a retail price of 17000. and change not counting the loader with a retail of just over 4000. not counting the other attaachments. The unit you are looking at must have come from a contractor and you might want to know who, as far as maintence performed. The front tires being low on rubber tells me it was used on pavement.

Tom, alot has to do with age of a diesel engine when it comes to cold weather starting. We are in central NY and less than a third of our new tractors go out with a block heater. The newer tractors all seem to start better than the old ones but there are still differences. I would say it is an option, but a battery charger set up on trickle will keep your battery fresh and you will not need one at all.

I suppose it's of academic interest only since Whitworth isn't going to work with NPT thread and a replacement part is inexpensive at any rate. NPTF for fine is another standard.

I used to have charts for Whitworth bolt threads from my motorcycle wrenching days so I can't now say if the pitches are the same. Even if they were it still won't work beause the threads have different shapes. Whitworth thread tops are cut around a radius point rather than triangular or truncated triangular. A Brit machinist told me Whitworth has greater efficiency than other thread forms (efficiency defined as percent of thread shoulders in contact). It is a very good thread. Good holding power, seldon strips or cross-threads etc., but it's also more expensive to produce so I guess that's why it's not so common now.

I know that the hydraulic ports on my Ford are NPT or NPTF but the steel lines are metric. It makes buying fittings and adapters almost impossible except at NH prices.

I had a similar experience to Peters. I bent a bolt on a table saw and had to cut off the head with a bolt cutter. I knew I put the saw together with metric wrenches but in fishing around in my nuts n bolts box I found a bolt that screwed in just fine. It looked like a standard 1/4" bolt, and wrenches in inches fit it. I think I've got it figured out that manufacturers are matching standard thread and shafts in inches with metric heads. I have no idea why, but it makes working on things interesting. Maybe not as interesting as some latter day Brit Bikes that had Whitworth, U.S. and Japanese Metric all on the same bike. The toolbox you needed outweighed the bike. Maybe I over-state.

Well Farmhouse, you are correct, I am in upstate NY. The shower idea is something I have kicked around and what I plan on doing is installing one on the back of the house. I have a deck there just abaft of my inground pool. After a hard day's work, I will strip off the dirty clothes and use the hose to wash before I jump in. That works fine if the sun is out and has heated the 150' coil, nice and warm until it is used up. I can easily run the shower from the laundry room to the deck and build an attractive wood enclosure. The deck is 6" off the ground so I don't even need to install a drain, it will run between the slats, kind of how my old cottage was built in the 40's for the grey water. The barn pictures are on this site if you are interested.

That's a good story. It's also one that I understand because people around here are the same way. You just don't want to stick people with something that's not going to work no matter how low the price. It's sort of the opposite of 'Let the Buyer Beware.'

Just thought I would pass this along. A John Deere dealer in Southeastern Minnesota has a 2001 TC40D with Supersteer, loader and the 84" midmount mower with about 80 hours. The tractor looks perfect and I think he is asking $21,500 for the package. If anyone is interested in the dealers name and phone number I can provide it.

Mark,

I've only had this unit a few weeks, so my experience with it is limited to mowing and smoothing some gravel.

I have the bar tires all round, and the only time they have left a mark was with the loader attached and running on the gravel, you could see the tread marks, but nothing serious.

Without the loader, I haven't had any trouble with them cutting up the lawn, but then my lawn isn't exactly golf-course green quality either.

If I were only using it for mowing, I'd go with the turf tires all round, and use the 4WD to handle the slick spots, otherwise, I'd go with bar tread front and rear.

Also, loading the rears with fluid should help with stability and traction whichever tire type you have.
Mine were loaded by the dealer, so I never tried it without fluid.

Hope this helps,
David

i purchased a New Holland TC29 (gear Tranny) in April. Its euipped with a Woods 1012 loader and a Woods 7500 backhoe. The 7500 has basicly the same capacities as the N.H. 757 hoe but is constructed a little beefier. Price on the FEL was $2500 @ $600 cheaper than the N.H. 7308 loader. And the price on the backhoe was $5500 @ $900 cheaper than the N.H. 757 hoe. Total out the door price was $20475. The hydro TC29D would be @ $1000 more.
