I wonder if the reason is a safety rather than a mechanical thing? Operation of tip 'n tilt could trigger a draft control hitch's lift. I'm not sure how much difference that would make when a tractor is working. You'd think that using the TnT during operation might change the draft but the hitch would just change the implement depth to compensate. <br>
<br>
I guess that if TnT were operated when a tractor was stopped with an implement on the ground that the lift could be triggered. That might cause the implement to lift jump a bit. I don't know if something like this would be enough of an issue to label TnT as incompatible with draft control.<br>

I'm curious about the role of draft control in a landscaping buz, but maybe there are other needs as well. I think of draft control as something for plowing. I believe there is a discussion in the archives where Art describes experimenting with draft-control for a box scraper.

I'd compare the lift specs of a self-leveling loader with the same model w/o self-leveling. The feature on some models be selectable but it does take a bit of power to run self-leveling. Of course, start with a big enough tractor and power isn't an issue.

Self-leveling does have some safety advantages, but I suppose the main interest is that it saves time. If extensive loader operations are expected to be extensive, a few other features such as fast dump and maybe even return to dig features also might be time savers.

I have wondered how well the rear cutter works as a drag. I was thinking that they wouldn't heavy enough to do much but I hadn't thought about springs. Sounds like that do a much better job of final smoothing than my fixed box rolled all the way back on it's rear cutter. I think my box used like that does a better job than back dragging with the loader in float. Who knows I may get particular enough about my finished grades to think about a new box?

You can get a big glug of water along with fuel from fuel dealers who have low volume sales and not the best storage practices. The water comes from condensation inside the tank. If that's the source the dealer would be responsible, but the solution is to just drain the water from the drum before using it further.

The best storage methods for fuel drums is on their sides but tilted towards the outlet end. That way, any water from can be drained from the tank periodically and it doesn't build up. An upright drum with a pump feed line on the bottom does much the same but if it's at a slight angle a big glug of water could build up and wouldn't be picked up by the pump. If the tank shifted position slightly then the water might be picked up and quite a bit could end up in a tractor's tank.

For upright drums where the fuel is going to be stored awhile, having pickup line that doesn't go all the way to the bottom might be better. It can be tilted on its side when it's nearly empty to drain the water and salvage any remaining fuel. One thing to avoid is having an upright that is repeatedly filled from new fuel deliveries and never drained. Eventually such a tank will deliver water instead of fuel. I wouldn't have an upright tank with a pump mounted that is exposed to rain. There'd always be the possibility of loose fittings, and then condensation wouldn't be the only problem.

I have my Mahindra for sale here also. Pretty much the same deal.. Guy wants to send check, providing I hand over the 5500 difference to whoever picks up the machine. It is an out and out scam deal.

I don't know your market but as a dealer The new model would be a B-7500. I would be around the 10,000 dollar mark if you want to move it fast.

If the tractor is in good straight condition then I'd say it's not going to get much better. Thats a great price!

Jack, does your tractor run away? Go faster down hill like free wheeling? That is what those valves take care of one for forward and one for reverse. I haven't seen much for leaks out of those but they are easy to remove and they may need servicing. Some had a tit that came out to that with a lever would allow you to push them. Some of them are automatic at this point. Those are, last of my recollection about an $70 piece. Take the time to see if something is frozen up causing the problem. I don't think they are the problem unless the unit is running when you notice the leak.

They were built in the early 70's and it is hard to tell the worth without seeing. just a ball bark tells me most any skid loader is worth 5000 with good tires, good running condition and a good bucket. Some go for a little less but not much if they are operatable and easy on the eyes. If there are many things wrong the price would drop quickly.

Wow! You guys are right.<br>

I did a bit of surfing on the web tonight and printed out spec sheets on all 4 brands and there is very little difference. They all weigh about the same and they all have almost the same PTO HP. The more I look at the NH and the CaseIH the more I like the 2, they look like a real user friendly machine. <br>

I have a 650 with a 359 front mount blower. Works great, but you have to be a little patient with deep or heavy snow. I work it hard here in the Maine western mountains.

I only know of one tractor/loader/backhoe that you could purchase with a trailer for under $20k..... a Kubota BX22.

Well.... ok, two. The other would be a Kioti 1914. It would come in maybe $1k more than the BX and would just squeak in under the limit with a trailer.

A Kubota B7500 might be in the ballpark, but over the $20k line and the only T/L/B Deere anywhere near your limit would be used, quite used.

I just got my BX-22 a week ago and I'm VERY pleased with the digging capacity. I live on 5 acres and purchased the BX-22 to do dirt work around my pond. I handles rocks, boulders and dirt like much bigger machines.
