I see no reason why your 2210 will not run a post hole digger. If you can run one on a BX you should be able to do the same with a 2210.

Not that I would advocate defeating safety devices, BUT...

A landscaper friend of mine has a machine that has (had) a PTO brake system on it, at first he thought it was a REAL pain in the patooty, especially considereing how often the PTO starts and stops in a commercial day.

However after a VERY short time the system failed, when the dealer asked if he wanted it 'fixed' he replied, "Why would I, it finally works right!"

Best of luck.

If the tip dragging is an issue then just hold it up clear of the ground when not in use, we have to do this because of safety reg.'s, we're not allowed to let it swing in the breeze for fear it will hit somebody or something.

The soution is simple, just take a short length of chain with a hook on one end and swing the auger bit up towards the driveshaft and make a single pass around the auger bit, near the bottom end, and around the boom arm then latch the chain into a circle, the auger flighting will prevent the chain from slipping off and the weight of the bit keeps it in place.

Best of luck.

There is a very great difference in both the design and principle of by which they operate between a shredder & a chipper.

A chipper is a series of rotating knives fastened to either a drum-like arrangement, or a plate that spins. The knives are fixed to the rotating memeber adjoing a hole in said member, they are adjusted so that the knife can only take a set sized peice off the wood being fed through, kind of like a woodworkers plane. This controls the speed at which the machine can process wood down to a point which it can handle.

A shredder on the other hand is best described as a flail mower in a box, there is a rotating axle on which a series of moveable blades are attached. As the axle spins centrifugal force makes them stand out at their full length, material is then fed into this area and the knives repeatedly strike the material until it is small enough to pass a restricor device at the output opening. This design however allows for a much larger quantity of material to be put in at once, if it is material which is hard for the flail knives to process, like small twigs which are inserted parallel to the direction of rotation and therefore not hit very often, it is very easy indeed to overwhelm the machine. On the other hand, bulky material like leaves can be processed far faster with this type of design.

We find that the best way to clear material like this is to (if possible) time the work in such a way as to be cutting and chipping this material early in the spring, before it bears leaves, then it can all just put through the chipper since it is bare twigs only.

Best of luck.

I have the factory work light on my TC33D. You need the bracket for it also, I think both light and bracket were around $35.00. The light installed in under 10 minutes the 33D already has a plug for the light. It has its own switch (independent from headlights) and works great. If your tractor is prewired it sould be easy and cheap to use the factory light.

We sell four hundred plus small engines in those catagories you mentioned per year new. Brand names include Honda, Briggs, Kohler,Tecumseh and Kawasaki. I don't know that anyone of those engines are having more or less problems than the other. They are often bid for the model year or longer for a particuliar unit do to it's size, starting ability,durability and last but not least it's cost. There are ones better suited(my opinion) for one application than the other but they all can work. After all you cannot install a $800.00 engine in a tractor to sell for $999.95,or can you?

I have front and rear after-market 55W lights bought from my dealer. They have their own switches and are weatherproof. It's good to think through the need for lights because most lights come in three different beam widths. I don't think you'll find these features in auto accessory lights. I bought wide flood beams because I wanted light spread over a wide area mostly for engine tinkering, implement swapping and finding my way into the shed at night. I do have a narrower width light for driving but never mounted it. Two 55W lights is marginal in a 10A circuit and the third light would blow fuses. I did use heavy gauge wire so I do have the option of going to a 15-amp fuse but I'd probably never need to run three lights at the same time anyway. <br>

Mine are mounted on the bottom of a steel canopy near the front and rear edges. They are on swing mounts so they mostly fold under the canopy when not in use and I also can aim them where needed. I did nearly tear one off that I forgot to fold down so avoiding height above the ROPS bar may be good. I think brush guards are offered as options with some lights.<br>

Oh. BTW. What I call a car hauler, basically a 16 foot flat bed (not the kind with a gap in the center), is cheaper and more readily available than a 14 footer.

You might be amazed how much trash you can haul with one if you lay a 12x16 tarp on the bed and stitch the edges together with some cord before you hit the road.

If you stack wood about 15 inches deep it will haul a cord of wood per trip.

AND.... if you put your 14 foot long BX22 on that 16 foot bed you can adjust the tractor fore and aft to achieve the proper tongue weight for safe towing.

Maybe something to consider............

No! I co-purchased a 30hp Kubota/FEL/Back Hoe with 2 neighbors, only the 3 of us use it and when asked we say we can't lend it because the other partners won't allow it. I also own a NH CT24D and will not lend it. Tractors cost to much and get abused by novices & neighbors.

Isn't the 4110 a little light in the 3pt lift capacity? IF I recall, only about 700lbs at 12" behind the 3pt? The NH and Kubota are both about 1200lbs capacity. If chuckles is pulling a large mower deck the 3pt capacity may become an issue with the 4110.

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.

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.

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.
