Thank You homedad5acre. I was unfortunate enough to serve in combat 69-70 under leadership that dictated battles from the White house. I stayed in saw the changes being made and saw the results in 90-91.

You can not believe the pride that swells up with-in with the current administration and the service men and women serving.

These youngsters today are truley some of the best educated, best trained, most motivated and professional people our nation has ever sent into harms way.

Thanks again Harvey

A Memorial day thank you

It's a little unusual for an after-market manufacturer to list specific tractors for their implements. It's more common to give HP recommendations. The lowest recommendation given by Land Pride for their tillers starts at 17 - 25 pto HP for models from 34" - 58" so maybe the 12.5 pto hp of a 6200 is a little light for a 48" tiller.

The actual HP required does depend a lot on the ground tilled, depth and ground speed and there's a lot an operators can do to reduce HP requirements. Some jobs may be difficult or take a lot of time. A tractor with HST that is able to go very slowly at pto rpm is good. Soil can be broken up with scraifiers, a middle buster etc. before tilling etc. so perhaps the 6200 could deal with a 48" tiller pretty well but I'd probably think a bit narrower.

Backhoes are pretty useful things to have and there's likely a hoe that is appropriate for 7500's. If you really mean pulling stumps, you'll probably be disappointed, and that would be true for most any hoe on any compact. Most people use them for digging around stumps to expose major roots that are then cut. Eventually a stump can be pulled but usually there has to be some digging first.

Hoes are good at digging rather than pulling. They also are a bit limited at lifting big rocks out of holes, especially when the bucket is away from the tractor. The long arms multiply load on the boom cylinders and the hydraulics stall. However, most hoes can lift rocks that are a bit too big to fit in the bucket. It takes a little technique but a big rock can be locked between the bucket and most sticks by using the bucket curl.

For actual pulling, the tractor drawbar is the best and safest point. I took the top-plate off my drawbar since I don't have a tow implement. That gives me a 1" hole in the bar. I often keep a 1" clevis loop on the drawbar just so it's there if I need to pull something. The loop is large enough for 3/8th chain grab hooks to pass through, which makes a good attachment point.

If it is haying you want to do the JD 5205 is the only choice. If you have a mower and a rake usually someone will custom bale the hay for you. Consider the T-165 drum mower can be purchased NEW for $1,800 and it will last a lifetime. You can mow in the rain or any other condition. It has the capacity to mow as fast as you can ride the tractor. A 3 point hay rake new is $395. With this you are in business for either square or round bales.

However if you plan on doing alot of box scraping I recomend one period !!!! ADJUSTING IS A REAL TIME KILLER !! SCRAPING/PUSHING REQUIRE DIFFERENT ANGLES.

Exactly!

Don't waste money of front end weights. Best front end weight by far is a FEL. Just leave it on all the time. And for when you want more front end weight, pick up a rock or dirt with it.

Must be bad deisel. You think you're bleeding the air out, but you're really bleeding out the fly eggs, leaves, water, rust, and duck doo doo that got into the deisel you bought at Agway that sat in their tanks since 1987.

Yes,
I ordered a Bobcat style quick attach for the loader with my Kioti DK.
Flip 2 levers on the quick attach and drop the bucket, hook up to forks or other attachments,lock down the 2 levers and your off.Total time around 2 minutes.
Many skid steer forks or buckets Etc. are compatable with this type system.

It was called a "Standard Diesel". This was the actual name, manufactured in England, some B-275 Internationals used the same engines. I believe most injection pumps were SIMMS. A few parts are still available through supliers like Sparex, and aftermarket supplier that supplies many dealerships with parts. Most parts are hard to find though. Don't even think about a starter unless you have a love of parting with your green money(if you are in a dollar based system.(U.S.)

Turfs reduce ground pressure per sq inch but not necesarily improve the tractive ability of a tire. Although not an engineer, I will step out on a limb with the saw between the tree and me. A properly inflated R-1 is superior in traction in 90 % of the cases. Recently there has ben much discussion about sliding down hills in turns. This is a charachteristic of turfs, not ags. Lets put this in perspective. Race cars run slick tires on dry pavement to get more contact with the ground to provide traction. Would this work in real world conditions? One any one really put slicks on their car to drive day to day? No, they would prefer the checkered or v type patterns provided by most modern radial tires. This provides better traction on wet, and loose surfaces. Well this applies in the areas of tractors as well. On hard surfaces, you would see some improvement in an equal sized turf in traction but on skiddable surfaces, the advantage is lost and T-1's loose their appeal. The main use of turf tires began on golf courses many eons ago to prevent breakage and permanent damage to the crowns of the plants where all the undifferentiated tissue is. It was not to improve traction. In fact many courses did and still do add chains at various times to improve traction. A few smart salesmen had a few extra tires to sell and put them on tractors and advertised them as turf specials. The idea caught on because nobody wanted to be left behind on the band wagon. Are there legitimate uses for turfs? Yes, but their broad application to anything with a diesel engine with a three point hitch has been well over done. Try to recall what real farmers use as a rule of thumb.

Two questions please
I have a new NH TC30 (4 hours at this point). I need to fuel it.

1. Do you filter the fuel as recommended in the manual (100 mesh) If so where or what do you use? There is no filter that fits under the fuel cap.

2. How long will disel fuel last in a can before it becomes unusable.

Well maybe one more

3. I store my fuel in 5 gal cans and fill three at a time. How do I store these to keep them from developing inside condensation.

Might as well make it four!!!

4. Do you use larger drums with hand pumps and does this work?

Thanks

Don

Most of the tillers have provisions for converting. You need to take a look at a Japan three point hitch tiller. The major difference is a top link provision. It can be done. However, methinks that your tiller may be one of those small ones that aren't designed to accomodate the abilities of the larger ones. In this case, having a welder as a best friend helps or knowing how to run one nets the same effect.

I believe I mentioned a sub-standard battery supplier in the last discussion thread about this a few weeks ago. Too many complaints about that one brand tractor to be anything else unless a charging problem shows up someplace. My Kubota has not had that problem, neither did my J/D nor does my forty+ year old Allis. Even batteries in the boats I have owned never showed an acid leak syndrome, and I can tell you on Lake Ontario they can take a pounding.

Exactly right Mark, when I am in the seat it appears that the bucket is not centered. However, the bucket meets the ground level and the pins slide in and out with know trouble when mounting or removing. I have had the bucket filled to overflowing with blue mountain stone and have not had any performance problems(no twisting). Like cutter I have a thing about things being straight and true, so when I am in the seat my eyes are drawn right to it. Thank you both for your comments on these issues. It appears as though I do not have a problem after all.
