You can use the rear cutter going in reverse on an ordinary box. It cuts but can't drag or spread so you have to turn the tractor around. Then if you're working a side-grade and using the 3ph leveler to tilt the box you have to climb off and tilt the box to the other side. It's not too difficult with my crank leveler but still a pain. There's still no way I could justify the cost of either a roll-over or hydraulic scarifiers for the amount I use my box.

I do backfill trenches in reverse with the rear cutter. It might be nice to be able to flip the box over so it would pick up a full box from the pile and dump it in the trench as the box goes over top. I'll throw in a comment not directly about rollovers. When I'm on lawns I've taken to dumping onto vapour barrier. When finished, I usually can just push sections of the pile back into the trench in one pass. Plastic and all goes into the trench and decent looking lawn remains on each side. Otherwise I end up spending a lot of time raking dirt out of the lawn. I can't get the last few inches of dirt up without tearing the lawn no what I use or how carefully I do it. I usually figure that if I can't pull all the plastic back out of the trench, who cares? I do reuse the stuff so I'm not filling up our landfill with plastic.

A swinging and extendible drawbar is standard on my Ford 1710, which is sort of an uncle once removed to your TC. The drawbar attaches to a pivot point on the cases ahead of the axles. If a pivot point isn't already on the cases, I don't think its too realistic to put one there, but I don't really know what's be available. Dealers should know what's available. You'd think that something would be around that allows people with other types of drawbars to use pull type pto implements.

Last weekend our volunteer fire crew brushed out some old hose drying racks that we can now use. We cut out five pickup loads and one large dump-trailer load from an area that isn't all that large.

The brush we cut would take many many loads if we used a small tractor bucket (grapples or not) and it would take a long time if we had to drive the tractor very far to dump it. Grapples are useful for picking brush up and holding it onto the bucket while dumping it onto a truck that's at the work site. People who do this type work frequently make good use of them. We just pitched the larger material onto the trucks by hand and I collected the smaller stuff and pitched it onto trucks with a hay-fork.

If this is a one-time project a wagon for the tractor may be more generally useful than a grapple for the loader.

Manufacturers keep wiring diagrams pretty close to their chests. Many after-market manuals don't have them and I'm not aware of Internet sources.

There was a recent discussion here about trouble shooting a starter solenoid. It might have been for a JD and some of the wiring was described. The starter switch itself could be the problem although you wouldn't expect it on a new tractor.

I would think that your dealer still has some room to deal especially if that is a pre tax figure but from reading other posts on this site different areas of the country have different pricing. I went to four different New Holland dealers and luckily got the best price at the one nearest me and also the one I liked the best.

I got a 4330 a few weeks ago with FEL, tiller, and brushhog. Most of the guys here in Oregon us a disc and a
spring tooth rake to clear fields, and a tiller for finer
work after discing. Great tractor.

On my Woods 650 backhoe, older brother to the now GroundsBreaker 6500 from Woods, the stabilizers have the ability to flip over 180 degrees for transport in the upright position. By flipping the pads, one achieves a width of no more than 48 inches wide.

Doesn't the Kelly brand allow one to flip the pads for transport widths?

Thanks Mark! I'll definitely check the pump further. Sounds like the pressure is pretty good but the flow could be greater. No matter I haven't seen anything that comes close at a price I'd consider.

Our fire shovels are sharpened on one side only (they don't come that way). They can be used to cut fair sized saplings and branches. The blades are different shaped and smaller than a regular shovel so you're not pitching as much weight. Most important is that the blade and handle is at an angle that is better for pitching sand than regular shovels.

The link below goes to a catalogue that contains other hand tools, pumps etc. It is a company that has dealers in my area. A web search on 'Forestry or Wildfire Fighting Equipment' probably will find closer dealers. Web searches now are regionalized. We use fire hoes, Mcleod, and Pulaski tools and 5-gallon hand backpacks. Backpack pumps and shovels can be used for attack. The others are more useful for making fire breaks, grubbing and mopping up.

I was at fire meeting this evening and accidentally found out that I better turn my powder extinguishers over and bounce them around a bit. The power compacts over time and an old one may provide a blast of air and no powder.

Mark, thanx for the tip I had no idea Rotella was a synthetic. Here at Wally World it is 19.88 a gallon so at that price I would stock up too !

I have the iMatch and for the few extra bucks I love it. It saves boo coo time especially in the field if you are on uneven ground. ALL Frontier implements are iMatch compatable as well as numerous JD branded implements. Tractor supply company is selling a identical hitch and many of the "Off Brand" implements they sell are iMatch compatable.

I have a NH33D and agree that 30hp is the least you should get--I have stalled mine a few times by being over zealous. I have 6' Piranha with carbide tips. It will go down 6" in one pass---one, slow pass! Take your dentures out or keep you mouth closed 'cause you'll lose 'em due to vibration!

Congratulations on your new tractor. I live in NC as you can tell by my sign in name. I bought from Ted in Febuary of this year I have only 37 hours on my TC-33D (I also use my 1952 8n)and I love it. Ted saved me about $3500 on my tractor, like you said you have to be nuts in my opinion to buy anywheres else.

Enjoy your new member of the family.

I bought my BX 22 from Pioneer Equipment in Fresno, CA. I got the tractor plus a box scrapper for $15,600 plus tax. My local dealer would only come within $300, and no box scraper. Made my decision to go out of town to another dealer pretty easy.

On my seat problem, the nut that holds the seat on tightens or loosens depending on which way you turn the seat. Mine actually broke the bolt. I put in a new bolt and a lock nut...no problems and the seat works better.

I'm an inexperienced guy in the same situation as you are. When I shopped for tractors I found the dealer I wanted to buy from (JD 4310), then I asked them about safety on a couple of slopes we have around here. The dealer sent his most experienced guy out to look things over and make recommendations. This guy has nearly 50 years of tractoring experience and still has all his body parts. He looked things over and walked the hills then told me I should be fine as long as I go up and down and not sideways. Then he told me he would be the one to deliver the tractor and he would drive the hills first to show me how. The dealer makes all the difference!
