Well, it's when you think you can afford it. Is the tractor really required for more then mowing?

But mostly...do you want a tractor, or a lawn mower? Most of us probably don't need a tractor, but we wanted one...just needed a justification.

Remember how, when you were a kid, you played with Tonka toys in the sandbox? Well, now I've got a bigger sandbox!

FWIW, one just went on Ebay...96/97 Lb1914, 500 hours, KL102 loader, 3 pt carry-all, rear scraper blade, 5 ft rotary mower, single axle trailer with 2 winches. It sold for its "buy it now" price of $7300. Was located in Virginia.

It would be interesting to weigh the front and rear axles on a 4000 series. On the 7000 and 8000 series Deere does put some quite specific front to rear weight ratios in the manual depending on the load you're pulling ( whether it be drawn, 3 pt. mounted, etc.). We run about 35 -40% front and60 - 65% rear for drawbar drawn implements, but remember the rear usually has dual wheels, so that might make a difference.

Tom many govenors will surge some. Some injector pumps are more noted for it. It is internal not external and cannot be adjusted out. Quite often to open a tractor to full throttle they will exceed the recommended rpm and than fall back to where they are rated. It could be the friction discs in the control lever that holds it in place,but you should see the lever move back and chances are it will do it at any position. Some dics are adjustable often by tightening a bevel nut on the bottom of the linkage.

The NH site lists 7308 loaders for a bunch of models--including 1320 through 1920. Not many specs were listed but the list capacity of the 7308 is from 875 lbs. to a bit more than 1000 lbs. The 7308 probably have replaced the 770/1 loader. Anyway, it seems that NH will put the same loader on quite a range of tractors. The NH site didn't help with 770/1 specs but I'd guess they would be generally comparable to the 7308. A dealer should be able to sort it out.

There are a couple of issues. Far as I know 1720's were mainly updated 1710's--pretty much the same tractor. However, I wouldn't want to bet that the loader mounts are the same. Size and weight-wise, a 1710 is going to be well within the range of 1320 - 1920's.

1720's were popular tractors when NH took over Ford, and NH continued 1720 production for quite awhile. I seem to recall that they made major production changes to the original Ford 1720--maybe even a different engine. It might be good to know if it's a Ford 1720 or a NH 1720 because the mounts might be different especially if there are different engines involved. From the similarity between the model numbers of 770 & 771 there's a chance that they're the same loader but with different mounts. Again, this is the sort of subject that dealers sort out.

There may be a reason why one dealer would say the loader would work and another say it's too bid. The PS on 1710's isn't very strong. If the PS is better on 1720's, a loader that's good for a 1720 may create very hard steering on a 1710. Wish I had more real info and less guess and speculation here, but maybe it's helpful anyway.

When you look at Mahindra be sure to notice where the fuel pump and fuel lines are located. Getting on and off a Century was easier than the Mahindra, the deck seemed to have more room.

Good to have this discussion. It might save some gray owners from this problem. I never think of taking off my loader so it never occurred to me why there'd be quick-connectors on the inlet and return hoses.

I can't think of a design reasons why a relief valve couldn't be placed ahead of a diverter valve but maybe there are. In absence of good reasons, the design does seem to expose owners to this problem. I have failed to seat the connectors on my cylinder hoses a time or two.

Maybe the thinking behind such designs is that a disconnected hose should be a pretty rare event, and if the pump shaft key is the likely part failure then the results may not be too bad. The key would be like a shear pin.

The Grut1 had it right (twice! smile). There is a mechanical adjustable link to put in place of a cylinder.

The show in Milwaukee today included many Harley rakes on a variety of different brand machines (skid steers and tractors), and some other power rake brands (Landpride's looked almost identical). Harley booth had some great video of the rakes in operation. Looks like they can go onto a pretty rough construction site and in one, or two, passes make it a pretty respectable area ready or close to ready, for grass seed.

Harvey, yes my #48 hoe for the 4300 tractor came with an extension hose for the power beond. It is a tight fit, but with the extension hose it works ok. I also found that changing the backhoe seat bracket from the inside of the hoe frame to the outside of the frame gave enough clearance so the tractor seat back and the backhoe seat back aren't rubing together.

Wow! I can't believe it. It sounds like your blade is exactly like mine without the power tilt. That would make it very easy to add power tilt. I just assumed that they would not make a blade that could tilt without putting a tilt cylinder on it. It appears the only difference between yours and mine is the cylinder and associated mounting points I would bet. Mine has the same dovetail arrangement with wedges and everything. I only use them when I angle the blade like a snow plow. I have to disconnect the tilt cylinder to do this so there is nothing to hold the blade from tilting unless you jam the wedges in place. I will get pictures for you and it will be a cinch. I tried tracking down the maker of my blade. It even has a metal plate with a model and serial number but has no manufacturer name. I contacted John Deere and they sent me to a JD dealer who has been in the business for like 100 years and said he would be the best to talk to. Turns out he kinda has a hobby of collecting old John Deere parts books and has stuff that even JD company has since thrown out. He does not believe that this blade was made by JD. He says it was most common for buyers to have the dealer install an aftermarket blade. I have the original parts and service manual for my 350 and it lists all kinds of attachments for the machine but no blade. This machine was sold more as a tractor with tracks which allowed people to add whatever they wanted including attaching farm implements. This is confusing since my tractor model number specifies mine as a dozer but according to him would not have come with a blade. I'm confused.
