Luke,
I keep recommending the same hoe (yes I sell it) for a very good reason. It is the best I have seen. Several of the major backhoe companies have either tried to buy our hoe and rebrand it or tried to copy it. See the Mazzotti Backhoes. They are among the cheapest/ full featured on the market. Currently their are two sizes available with 3 more to follow in March. They are three point, have their own pump. Have a special restrictor that automatically slows the swing of the boom to a stop in last 1.5 inch of swing(instead of using cheap slam bumpers; go ahead ask these guys what I mean!) They also have the heaviest construction in the boom and in the stabilizers. Best pritection for the legs and shin bones too. The whole unit is basically and industrial backhoe built in Italy that has been redisgned for three point hitches here in the US. Follow the equipment links to Mazzotti

Dave:

I come up with a 3/91.3 at 30 engine HP for a 790 from the JD site and a 3/83.1 at 24 engine HP for a 770 from tractortips. Seems a good bet that they're different engines.

Be very careful with the tank. It may have a lot of free acetylene inside. It sounds like either (depending on the age or amnufacturer of the cylinder) honey comb has broken down or there is a lack of it. Call your gas store before you move it too much juat to be on the safe side.

It's true enough that nobody should argue with what a manual says. Mark's comment did get me wondering if I was abusing my Ford. I took a look in my Owner's Manual and found that I'm actually babying it.

The manual only says only don't engage the lock when turning, on the highway or in excess of 5-mph ground speed. These issues are stated more from a safety than a mechanical perspective (because there isn't a lot of steering when the lock is engaged). I've always heard that the problem was that it stressed the drive train, but it probably does that as well.

The manual also cautions against engaging the lock when one wheel is spinning rapidly to reduce shock loads and notes that damage may occur. The manual's solution is to reduce engine rpm. My habit of going to a slow idle speed before engaging the lock seems consistent with at least the manual for my mid-80's Ford.

The manual did say that occasional failure of the lock to release is normal--especially if one wheel is turning faster than the other. I'm not sure how that's supposed to happen when the diff is locked but maybe the tech writer was thinking about going for coffee. The manual's solutions are reducing the load (by raising the 3ph for example) or a quick brake on the side of the wheel that's spinning. From what the manual said about one wheel turning faster, I'd guess that gently 'wagging' of the tractor with the steering wheel also might help release a lock.

yamar man, EXACTLY !! now what was that wise and witty saying ? Stupid is as stupid does ! I can only assume you might be referring (stupid) to the growing number of spouses who have brought forth wrongfull death suits and other litigation because their spouse were stand up guys, real men, responsible men, although they obviously couldn't read " Don't stick your fingers in here " written in chineese. It truely continues to amaze me, although it probably should not, That new posters contineually pot up in a fruitless effort to make a healthy debate some sort of personal slam fest. It is, was and never will be so UNLESS, you continue to personally name dealers, their location, and then shamelessly plug another. Now that is a flameing basher !! Here is my final take on this whole strand...................... IS So !....Is Not!......IS SO ! ......IS NOT!! ..SO !!!...NOT!!!! So!NOT!!!!.......MOM!

I took a look at the TC-45 spec sheet on a NH corporate site. Near as I can figure, mid-pto's aren't available for either the 45 or 45D. While it's possible to run a mid-mower from a rear-pto, in practical terms a mid-pto really is needed. It seems odd to me that a mid-pto wouldn't be offered for these tractors, so it bears checking to make sure I was interpreting the spec sheet correctly.

I don't know how important a MMM is to the idea but a New Holland dealer should be able to tell you what options are available for the tractor. Factory attachments are usually more expensive that after-market equipment but they also tend to be designed specifically for a tractor and other factory attachments. For example, many combinations of loader and MMM mounts aren't compatible and one attachment must be removed to mount another. That also can be true for some factory combinations as well. If the tractor does happen to have a mid-pto and it already has a loader, some prior checking for MMM's that might work would be good.

Donny,

You say you are a dealer where are you located? Don't be afraid to list your address, you'll likely get inquiries into what you carry. I have a 7234 and love it but have thought about upgrading in the future, a little more horsepower and probably a Hydro. By the way there was some discussion on clutch adjustments. Mine has few hours, less than 150 and it is adjusted basically all the way out. Is this typical of all Cubs?

I am have moved to the city and am looking to sell my Deere to a good home. As mentioned in the subject line the 955 is a 1999 with FEL, 2-position rims, low pro industrial tires, and it only has 135 hrs.

As you can tell, It was a very fun toy. I have had it stored for 2.5 years and have decided to let it go.
The paint is showroom new and like all my toys, its near perfect. Except for the bucket, it has moved some material.
Did I mention the tires still have the rubber teets. (Anyway, the tractor is located in central Oklahoma and close to I-40 for easy transport.

Tractor plus 70A loader goes for the first 15K.

If you are interested, you can contact me at 405-206-8156

Good Luck

Scott,
That is a great price,I also wanted to stay local,but when I shopped around in my area the dealer either didn't have any info on it or wanted 6 grand for it,when I found it for $4700 I couldn't turn it down,my salesman even agreed with me.Things you should be aware of...The cab comes completely assembled bolted to a large palet,you'll need to disassemble your existing rops,so check it out,it's nothing fancy but the rear bolts don't allow for too much space for a wrench or ratchet.I had to remove the bolts holding the rear of the operators deck under the seat (5 or 6 10mm bolts) to get better access to them.If you know when your cab is coming you could do this a day or two before you get it,you don't use any of the old rops but hang on to the bolts.The only snag you could have is that the cab needs to be lifted over the machine then lowered onto it,so you will need something that can lift the cab high enough or some sort of "A" frame to hold it up while you drive it under,I used my excavator to do this,and it would be handy to have someone around for this for the extra hands to help line it up.The other thing is if you have the stabilizer gaurds they will hit the rear glass on the cab when you bring them up all the way,I cracked my glass on the laft side not realizing this,I welded some stops on the side of the platform where your feet sit,and that stops the gaurds from hitting the glass.I'll e-mail you with some more info.

Thanks Billy;
Although I did not make the mistake of thinking finishing vs rotary cutter. I did make the mistake of looking for data on the JD site rather than the BH site.
Despite this now I am confused. The BH finish mowers are not bat wings but trideck mowers. They recommend 30 HP for the 11 ft and 40 Hp for the 15 foot. Therefore the 15 would be pushing it and the 11 ft would be OK.
The flex wing rotary cutters recommend 60+ for both. I would suspect that they are cat 2 which would leave the JD 1070 out of the question.
