Topic

There is a thread in the archives from a couple months ago where HP and torque were calculated at various points on a power curve for a current model JD (from JD site data). There also are some comments about the merits of traditional low rpm high torque/narrow power engines vs newer broader band higher rpm engines like MarkH's BX. The thread was interesting and relevant here. Wish I could recall the subject title.

Sure sounds like this is passing the work around local insurance adjusters--assuming that the contractors are insured. Wonder if the camp owners know that they'll likely have enough water from all this to brush their teeth and little else, if that's what they really want to do (assuming the deeper casings actually work).

While coming back from some camping, which at this time of year really is just entertaining the mosquitoes, black flies and no-see-ums, I saw a whole row of what looked like miniature loader/hoes along the highway. I don't know who made them but they were cute. At least they appeared to be designed as diggers. Counter-weighting a lightweight unit is one thing, but hanging loads off the front and rear of a lawn tractor is likely to just jackknife the frame. A hoe of any power is as likely to pull the machine into the hole as it is to dig much dirt.

The thing about ordinary hydraulic systems is that they only do one thing at a time. To dig with a hoe, a bunch of separate operations are taken and each of them is slow when run from a small volume pump. A person with a shovel does these operations simultaneously and the machine doesn't have to be very small before a person with a shovel is faster. Of course, the machine may be cute and fun, and also maybe is preferable to many people if they're facing a long time at the end of a shovel on a hot day.

I've seen things for each end of ATV's as well but I'm not sure how seriously to take them for doing work. On the bright side, my friends the dragonflies are out in hordes and they should chop the other bugs down to size in a week or so. We'd get more work out of them if they were bigger but then they might start thinking about eating me. A tiny machine may be more likely to eat me than a bigger one however. Guess there's a point here somewhere.

I certianly will use the stakes as you suggested. Had planned on using the GPS on the walk around route, not while I'm driving.
I'm ahead of you on stripping off the top soil, and, using the loader and box scrapper in combination, except that when picking up the dirt from the box I have to back over it first because there is no room to turn around. Yes I do have very stiff soil in most places but have not used the scrifers - I will. Didnt know that is what they were called, I call them plow forks. I can lower them to a depth of 1', how deep should I go?
Another question. As I mentioned previously there are 2 roads at 2 different levels running parallel to the area I will be terracing. I wand to make a turn around from the top road at the bottom of the slope to the lower level road. There is about an 8' drop between them. I think it will have to almost be a switch back, but even at that I don't know where to begin, top, bottom? And this needs to be done before starting seriously on the terrace. What are your suggestions?

I do see your point yet I do not completely agree. It seems 6 0f one 1/2 dozen the other. The fellow above was haveing difficulty getting good advice or it varied so much the cost of fertilizer out weighs the cost of a test, easily. I guess I just dont know too many people who can look at the soil and just instantly tell me what I need. I'm sure there are those who can. I just dont know them. The soil conservation districts here give out base hand books with directions and sample bags. I would think that most would be able to handle such a simple task but your point is certainly valid and there certainly are those who do not take the time to find out how to take the test properly or fail to understand the results, but then there are those who just use the wrong products or none at all.

Look at the Eicher 485, is only 13,400 full list with 51 hp. And there are dealers in MS. But I don't know how close. The other ones are close in price as well.

Pyramid manufacturers quite a range of implements, including box blades. They have some of the heaviest boxblades on the market. There is no comparison to some of the "Name" brands in stoutness. They exceed anything that is commonly seen. We distribute them. Check out the ag equipment link next to this column to see.

Some states require that UCC's be filed in the county of residence of the borrower and other states require that they be filed with the state. Find out which you are dealing with. Then contact the appropriate entity and they can tell you.

That's interesting. My 4310 with iMatch and MX5 should be delivered early next week. I will make sure the delivery guy hooks it up to make sure it fits, and post back here with the results.

I have an old boat trailer that's seen too much salt water to ever go on the highway again. I plan to shorten the tongue and put a 4' x 8' plywood deck on it. It won't be much work at all- just a matter of getting it to the top of the priorities list. Whichever way you go, I would certainly go for a two wheel, so you can back it.

You may have a clogged rockshaft filter. This is separate from the suction screen, suction side filter, and trans filter.

I haven't looked at 3ph forks. I'm sure they'd be useful in moving things around, but they wouldn't help in lowering stuff from trucks, etc. For moving landscaping stuff around I'm sure they'd be great.

Thanks for the tip, I'll keep my eyes open for a deal but I'm in no hurry. Maybe a welder will arrive first, who knows?

Congratulations on your purchase. First time I let one of my boys run the TC29 I had he hit a rock with the belly mower. That's the problem with an inexperienced young person on a new machine in unfamiliar terrain. But that is also the only way they can learn.

Hey Auggie,
You should probably start a new thread. How did you bust the mid case? Some junk should be normal in first trans oil change.

Murf,

What do you mean by running in tandem? Do they chain two tractors to each other, with one to keep the other from tipping?
