For Tomg. Thanks for the reply. I am not looking for the widest tiller, but the one that would be best for my tractor. I am thinking about a 48-50 inch with a 12" offset capability. Right now, the prime candidate is a BushHog RTS50 with a slip clutch. And you are correct, I have heard the 'just go slower' response many times from many different brand dealers, and I don't like that answer!
I have looked at other brands at lower prices, but parts availability, and weight are considerations, too.

Me and my two tricks may be feeling pushed here.

I suppose the oil level is OK and the cylinder cooling fins (if the engine has them) are clean and the grass isn't exceptionally high or wet. An air-cooled engine operating under heavy load can do that. A clogged fuel cap also can do the same thing. If it starts easily then old gas and a gummy carb isn't a likely problem.

It does sound like more like a spark problem. There probably is a testing procedure for the coils but I don't know. It's a little tricky getting a spark as I described. At best you don't get a fat blue spark like on a car. You get a thin dim spark and a little pop when the engine is pulled hard enough. I usually remove the plug so the engine turns over faster. If I get the pop I usually assume the spark is good, but if I don't get it I can't assume the spark is bad. Trouble is that the engine cools down while doing the testing and the spark might just start working again. If the coil is easily accessible and inexpensive, I might replace it on general principal.

New Holland "Boomer" TC35, TC40, TC45. I also like the 3010S, it might be worth pricing. The link to these are at the bottom of the list on this web page.

Straightening a shaft with a hydraulic press won't restore strength. The only way to restore the original strength of this kind of part is to rework it hot or cold, which is virtually impossible due to the hard-surface plating on most shafts. Even so, a reworked shaft probably wouldn't end up at the original diameter. The cylinder is essentially junk except for applications much lighter than the original use and it is priced accordingly.

At least around here, I'd expect used top-link cylinders to be pretty rare so maybe you have good luck if there's a choice. They do need to be the right length and have loop ends. Sleeves sometimes are available to size common sized loops to CAT I pin sizes and something like that might increase the choices among used cylinders.

Length is important. My top-link cylinder came as part of my 3ph forklift and it has CAT II loops supplied with sleeves. The cylinder is a bit long, which means I can roll the box way back on its rear cutter for compacting but I can't get very aggressive cuts. Works out well though, I compact with it a lot and I also avoid aggressive cuts since my traction is limited due to turf tires.

Never the less, the manufacture of my PHA speced a 5/16" grade-2 bolt, which is an ordinary hardware piece. It goes through a cross-hole in the auger shaft. My impression is that the use of grade-2 bolts is fairly common so it would be a good idea to verify what is required.

The pin for my snowblower is much smaller--6mm I think. Guessing from the diameter it is probably hardened. I have a supply of bolts but I guess I'd better verify what they are before next winter. A parts guy in a nearby dealership couldn't ID the bolt but said their 'bolts-guy' (a salesman) likely could figure it out. The pin for my snowblower goes through the flange of the pto shaft at the drive end.

I've heard of soft bolts bending rather than breaking but usually in cases where the bolts are very loose or the shoulders of the hole are dished. Like everything else, shear bolt holes can wear out.

Tractorlover,

Let's look at this in perspective. Where is the logic in spending the better part of the way to $20,000 for a tractor and then scrimp to save maybe a dollar or two at most on an oil change? John Deere 15W-40 Plus 50 is not that much more than any comparable oil (in fact I paid $1.29 a qt. buying the 55 gallon drum). It is about the best non-synthetic oil on the market and it is recommended by Deere (I believe Chevron makes it for Deere). John Deere filters are made by Fleetguard (again one of the best filter manufacturers on the market. You change the oil every 200 hours after the first 50. So being overly cautious.......say once a year? Buy the John Deere Plus 50 oil and filter and be done with it. I use this oil & filter in my 4410 and in my Cummins diesel. I have about 3500 miles on this change of oil in my Cummins and it still looks like I just put it in. (stays very clear and clean) John Deere 15W-40 Plus 50 is the most up to date oils on the market; it is rated CI-4. Bottom line is, it is your tractor and your perogative as to what lubricants you use. Here is some sales and info. on John Deere oils for some background.

Murf-The idler pulleys have sealed brgs and I'll try your needle idea.

Replacing the worn brgs in the blade spindle housing is the bigger issue. These are tapered wheel brgs (2 per spindle)that have to be replaced, but I can't get the spindle pushed out to gain access.- Thanks

I have the 60" deck on my BX22 I just got done mowing my field(no lawn here)and you MUST have the rpm's all the way up. I mowed in high gear knowing that some weeds might be left behind and was quite suprised at how well it cut. As mentioned above, check the blades,cut at maximum rpm, and slow down. Good luck and hope this helps.

I am gonna step out on a limb here and say in the neighborhood:

$13,750 (give or take $250)for a 790 MFWD w/SCV & Mid PTO, R-4 tires (I would strongly recommend this configuration), 70 Loader, & Land Pride AT 2672 mower.

You cannot get the 410 loader on the 790. The salesman may balk at this offer but if you go to the dealer with cash or cashier's check in hand, let them know you ARE READY to buy NOW, and are REAL light in the seat ready to walk out. I think you may be able to come somewhere close to these figures. Good luck and keep a good poker face! :o)

Auggie, John Deere says the 4010 at 18 horses can run a 60 inch mower(not cutter)but does not have the HP for the 72"<br>
<br>
The 4100 (20 Gross/17 PTO)can run a 72 inch in their opinion.<br>

If I was dealing with 16 horses, I would keep it on the smaller side.

I am not sure that I would want that large a deck finish mower, not unless my lawn was as flat as a bowling green. Even with a 60 inch I can scalp the grass once in a while. I have an 84 inch rotory cutter and it can definately do some damage, but on the field I consider it leveling.
I think if I wanted wider I would go with a gang system.

I would suggest you contact a post & beam company not just an architect for your plans, timber framing is quite a science and not just anyone can tackle it, the design process being critical to the strength of the finished product.

One of the foremost companies in this field is only a few miles from here, I would suggest you contact them you can have them design and manufacture the 'pre-fab' kit then put it up yourself.

Best of luck.

Thanks!

I did not get any rebate - tractor or implement.

I don't think I will go back to the JD dealer not just because of purchase price, but I am thinking about the service and follow-ups. If he is not up-front now, how can I trust him later?

I still think the JD is a better machine than the BX-2200, but I don't think it is working out for me.

Thanks anyway.
