Dang! I can't find my link to a site that had good drawings of bolt-head codings. I think I found it by searching of 'hardware specifications' or something like that. There could be a series specifically for shear bolts but I don't recall.

You can't assume that all shear bolts should be Grade-2. Hard bolts have been used is some applications. When I had a question about my PHA, my dealer called the manufacturer to verity the proper bolt for the auger. Many pto shafts have their own shear bolts and the bolt may or may not be appropriate when implements and pto shafts have been mixed and matched.

I've wondered why I've never heard of using both a clutch and a shear pin. Seems to me like it'd be a good idea since the clutch could be adjusted to protect the shear pin. Then there'd be less risk of loosing protection due to an improperly adjusted or seized clutch. Clutches may be better than pins for protecting against high loads rather than sharp shocks as well.

I would like to stay real close to $20K. I think an L48 might be too big, for what I need to do. Also, they seem to be priced out of my range for the most part.
Thanks for the message, I'm still looking.

Usually smaller tractors aren't gutless in the sense that they have the power to operate implements that are designed for them. The jobs just take longer because the implements are narrower than for bigger tractors. However, small tractors do have some absolute limitations. Loaders and 3ph's can't lift what larger tractors can.

The power question mostly depends on how much time you want to spend on a tractor. Of course, a tractor that's too big ends up taking more time to maneuver and just can't go some places.

Auggie: Try and see. At least around here there'd likely to be more wiggle room for farm equipment now than other times. Most farm equipment around here is sold in the fall or certainly by the early spring. If there's going to be financial room in a year, there's money around after crops are in. Spring purchases run the risk of being back-ordered just when the equipment is needed. If a dealer has used equipment, they may be more inclined to part with it around now than later. At this time of year it's usually the service department rather than sales that's hopping.

Different sized hoses are unlikely to change operation enough to be called a problem in itself. Could take some looking to find adapter fittings though.<br>
<br>
The question does raise another issue. Different sized hoses may suggest that the implements are designed for quite different flow rates. A BH that is designed for a higher flow than the pump may be inappropriate for the tractor. There's are a bunch of discussions in the archives about hoes (and especially 3ph hoes) damaging tractors. A tractor that's small for a hoe also may run the hoe at unacceptably slow speeds or the system relief pressure may not be high enough to give it good digging power.<br>
<br>
It would be good to ensure that the hoe is right for the tractor and the hydraulics are right for the hoe. Most manufacturers publish recommended flow and pressure ranges. Another problem that hoes sometimes produce is hot oil. Hoe work often is more intensive than loader work and oil can overheat. There's a rule of thumb that the reservoir should hold at least twice the pump's flow rate to allow oil to adequately dissipate heat. In this context, the small lines and valve throat would add to any heat problems.<br>

My bx1500 uses a banded belt and I do not think it could be put on wrong. There is no twist in it. It has to be routed much like a car with serpentine but is less complicated.

I copied a paragraph from my post that lives in another active thread on the board, but fits this one too;

As far as that J/D oil is concerned Mark, I am not so sure an engine failure due to oil defect in a well maintained machine is much of an issue. If I were going to buy into a plan, I think the one Quaker State offers for free as long as you use their oil is less restrictive and certainly would cost less (because their oils cost less). It does not require that the oil be defective to pay out either.

I am looking at purchasing a TC40D and would like to know if that would be enough horsepower. I have 40 acres of CRP that I would like to mow, a couple of 2 Acre deer food plots that I would like to plant and landscaping to do on my yard. Would a tiller, mower, loader and box blade be able to do this work with this tractor. Also I have a 15 acre field that I am renting out that I may want to plant in alfalfa next yeear. Can I do all of this with the TC40D?
What kind of equipment should I be looking at?

Thanks

Not sure with 8 acres of lawn, thats a lot of mowin. What do you mean by lot preperation ? Digging footer ? Basement ? And what is the ground like there ? The little CUT's are very handy but if you have a lot of digging to do and or the soil is rocky and hard you might want to consider renting an excavator or larger backhoe unit. Especially if this is a one time useage thing.

First and foremost, check your F150 tow rating and the rating on your hitch. If it is not rated to tow at least 7000 pounds just stop there.

The list weight of a 4510 is 3450#.

I am guessing that the FEL will add around 1000#

A 16 foot trailer with ramps weighs around 1800#

So far we are at 6300# and we have not added three point implement which I assume is a heavy brush cutter.

The smaller Deere is only 500# less weight so no matter what you do here you have maxed out a 7000# GVW trailer and probably your vehicle as well.

If you are just trying to get all this stuff home you could use you truck to make two or more trips. If you are planning on transporting the whole tamale around on a regular basis you will, no doubt about it, need a heavier truck and at least a 12,000# GVW trailer.

FYI, My little BX22 takes up 14.5 feet of my 16 foot trailer. You may need to run a tape measure over what you intend to buy. Like Peters said, it is probably longer than the trailer.

No, the chimney was not damaged, about the only thing that wasn't and has a good heatilator in it so I thought it could be used to heat the barn. We have used it a few times when working in the area.

I have a B1550HST and would like to add front weights to offset rear implements. I have Bi-Speed turn on this tractor. After adding front weights should I turn off the bi-speed turn? Will leaving it on and adding weight to the front wear something out?

OK, I misread that table (it's not real clear). I assumed the number in front of the dash was the bucket capacity and the number after the dash was the pivot point capacity. So, I was reading the 7308 as 875 lbs in the bucket and 1020 lbs at the pivot point, then comparing that to 1090 lbs at the pivot point for the 12LA. Apparently, they are saying that the 7308 bucket capacity ranges from 875 lbs to 1020 lbs, depending on what tractor it's installed on. So, we can't compare apples to apples using that table because they don't show the bucket capacity of the 12LA and they don't show the pivot point capacity of the 7308.

Congrats, I think you'll be fine with the 40. There are a few instances where it ISN'T cost effective to go the next larger. IMHO, TC45 is one of them. Others are the JD4410 over the 4310 and the Kubota L3430 over the L3130. Once you get it on the property, it won't seem as big as it did at the dealers.<br>
