I also have a NH TC24D HST and LOVE it. It is 100 times the tractor of the little Cub. I also bought a 4.5 acres next door so I have a total of 11.5 to take care of (1/2 is wooded). The Cub does 70% of the mowing and 100% of the snow removal. The NH could replace the Cub if it could mow closer to the trees; the ROPS hits the branches.

I just looked at the Cub, JD, Kubota and just bought a NH CT24D. I have a small Cub 1682 (and it is great) and my dealer is also a Kubota dealer, he has a Cub 7264 on the lot and he recommended Kubota over the Cub. He never did me wrong but said Cubs have lower resale + higher costs. NH was the low priced unit -after haggeling.

On my TC29, there is a wire already in place to plug the light into. I tried various lights, finally bought a $10 round, 55 watt utility light from Wal-Mart. I didn't use the factory wiring, but I can't remember why. I think the factory wiring has the rear light coming on whenever the headlights are on. Instead, I wired up a new relay and installed a switch in a vacant slot on the dashboard. Made a clamp from a piece of flat steel stock and a square-bottomed "U" bolt; just clamped it to the ROPS in a spot where I can fold/unfold the ROPS with no problems. Don't know if the TC24 is like the 29 in this respect, but hope it helps.

I have a New Holland TC 24D HST and am wondering if anyone makes scaled down post hole diggers that are sized for smaller tractors? I also have a 30hp Kubota and the PHD I use on that is too large/heavy for the smaller NH. Any recommendations???

You have to go to the 4210 to get the ehydro.

Thanks Mark, I just ordered one of their blades, and from what I've seen, these are the best designed blades on the market. I looked up their "links" page and ordered from Corriher. I particularily like the offset feature using pins for quick adjustment.

I put in a 2nd panel and moved "critical" circuits to that panel. I have a natural gas generator, not PTO powered, rated at 9000 watts. We lost power for 7 days due to ice storm - needed a tractor to dig out and still wanted a warm house, TV, water, microwave + lights.

Sounds like Log may know the tractor. I'll have to be told if it has a draft or position control hitch and if the hydraulics is an open or closed system type.

You might look to see if the pump has a port for priming it or else try to fill it through the suction line just in case it's a priming problem. One other thing I'd check before writing off the pump is the relief valve. Some pumps do require priming.

I don't know exactly how to describe where a relief valve might be might be on the tractor. Some have them in manifold blocks, others have them in the 3ph or loader valve or both or all three places. A relief valve is a plunger held shut by a spring. A broken spring or stuck plunger could cause the problem. If the problem came on abruptly, you might check for a sheared pump drive shaft key or other broken part.

The bad news is that if the problem came on slowly it may be a seriously worn pump and many gear type pumps aren't actually rebuildable. The web link below goes to a site that seems to sell two different pumps for Longs. I found it in a web search for 'long tractor' and know nothing else about the company. The same search didn't come up with any dealers. There is a discussion about Long Agribusiness in the archives that can be found be searching for 'long' in the subject. It's more about the company than parts though.

There are some general ways to pressure test pumps that might be useful and perhaps more later.

If you're running the chipper below PTO RPM the shredder may be more prone to clogging. It'd be nice to come up with a simple solution. If it's leafs that are clogging it, I'd be pretty unhappy with the performance as well. I'm not sure if some shredders are more tolerant to wet material than others but I haven't heard complaints about clogging and there have been a fair number of discussions about them here.

Art,

I'm not running at a constant 1250, that is the max temp I have ever seen - I was pulling a ~12K load up a long incline. EGT's do not get much over 1000 - 1100 under more normal operation conditions.

Rob, I hvaen't sold one of thse for that size yet. I have mounted cab lites but not just tractor. You might want to look at what you are doing to need a lite. Many people mount them off the roll bar top and face them down. If working around tree limbs they could be a problem there.

Mark, Doc, I've never been that much of a conformist, I only drink red with Italian food, and I RARELY do what the French do anyways, LOL.

If it's any consolation, I finished the wine before dinner and only had Drambuie with the cigars.... LOL

Best of luck.

Phillip, I presume you are flying, but I will throw this on the table.

1. Looks like my BX22 will come on the market soon. It is a T/L/B of course, but it also has wheel weights, a 54" front blade, two complete sets of wheels and tires, a set of clamp-on bucket forks and enough filters and fluids to last a couple of years.
It has 15 months left on the warranty and it has 140 hours on it at the moment. I need $16K to clear out the loan with Kubota Credit.

2. Brand new 16 foot car haulers are available here locally for $1500 +/-. That gets you dual axles, brakes all around and 5000 pound rating. A 7000 pound rating is available for a few dollars more. If you talked hard enough, I might even sell you my trailer for cheaper than that.

The dealer checked the voltage, I don't know what it was they just said it was high. Time will tell if the problem is fixed.

Nice reply as always Murf! If you are going to do anything try raising the whole deck and then mow it again in two days. I love a nice lawn, do to the cool spring and now getting some good sun the grass is growing! Every three to four days it is needing mowing. I know it is going to slow down and we will be on the weekly rotation in a week or two but it beats blacktop for looks and feel!
