According to my dealer the programs have changed. He claims that you can start payments in April 2004 or you can have an interest rate 1% lower. the only program that is the same is the 0% for 36 months.

I have had to replace the front ring gear and pinion twice!!
They (Massey) said the last one is a heavy duty new style and should last. The latest repair was a bearing on the shaft for the 4wd went out and took 6 gears in the intermediate trans and the 4wd shifting fork with it. Very costly!! The tractor has a Massey loader and is used lightly on a horse farm.

Now were talkin ! And realisticly most buisiness do noy show an instant profit due to start up cost, lease hold improvements, Inventory, labor etc. A lot of folks have gotten in more than a bit of a bind in the last few years trying to right off home based buisinesses on primary residences, home pc's, The Tractor that is used to mow the lawn etc. It used to be reasonable to break out the % of actual buisiness use, But I wouldnt get caught with my hand in that pickle jar anymore. Personal use and buisiness use need to be totally seperate.

How much work, and what type of work will you do with the FEL? If you are moving simple things, keeping the tractor out of the rough stuff, then you can leave the MMM on while you work the FEL. BUT . . . IF you are doing some "real" work with the FEL you will probably be in places where you will destroy the MMM or be forced to remove it, and that is a pain.

Assume 5hp for every foot of blade for typical mowing. If you keep it short and mow when it is dry, you can get by with 3-to-4hp/foot. But if it gets tall and or wet then you need 6-to-7hp per foot of blade. If your tractor is 30hp, then a 6' deck is about right. You could go 7, but don't let the grass get too tall or mow when wet.

A used second machine can come in handy and you can sell it for close to what you paid when you're done with it. I have a TC24D HST for mowing, ditch work, etc. I have a Kubota B2910 with FEL & backhoe for bigger stuff. Some tasks it comes in handy to have 2 machines on site. A TC40 is too big if you pick up a Case combo unit, consider a 24 or similar for the lighter work.

I'm thinking of buying a 1996, JD 955, with about 400 hours. It has the following attachments: grading blade, front loader 70A, tow behind mower 72", and a post hole digger attachment. It has both regular and and an extra set of turf wheels. The guy is looking for $15,000. How does this sound to anyone.

Overall I personally was just not that impressed with the Hemi. The salesman just about pooped his pants when I shrugged my shoulders. The bronco is a 351C with 210 Hp. He tried to tell me the hemi would take the ford by 2 sec in the 1/4 mile. Not a chance. Then he looked at the duramax and realized that I was already used to real power and kinda shut up, which from my perspective is one of the smartest things a salesman can do. lol. I believe there is a limiter chip that turns down the HP 15% for the first 500 miles, to prevent the rubber laying with a new engine. When you are rolling and kick it it is impressive, but not so much from a dead stop.

€hieƒ™, just two questions ...

1) where's the ground strap ?

2) where's the flashing yellow light ?

LOL, seriously, good looking unit.

I use a slightly less troublesome method of fuel delivery, although it does require a little more attention to detail. The filler cap is not vented, and the seperate vent can be locked to hold air, or conacted to an air pig or other supply via a standard Milton-type quick connect air fitting equipped with an adjustable air pressure regulator.

All I do is hook up the air supply and squeeze the trigger, the regulator is set to about 15 psi which is not enough to cause the trigger valve to leak, but still gives me a decent flow rate. No pumping involved.

Best of luck.

Actually Mark the unified standards themselves was what the politicos used to sell the EU idea to the population.

Until the standards were enforced the old "this is how we've always done it" system prevailed, just like our (minor) problems with 3pth's and implements.

The sales pitch was "If everyone produces to the SAME standard dimensions you can now sell your 'widgets' to ALL of Europe, not just your little piece of it."

But for what it's worth, I still use the big steel bar...

Best of luck.

Mark, you're exactly right. If anybody's going to move up from a BX, then spend the extra $800-$1,000, go for the gusto and take the B2710. Which, of course, could lead to somebody suggesting spending a few hundred more and get the 30-hp NH TC-30. See what I mean about choice? It never ends in tractorworld. Thanx. I like your idea best.

Doc, AMT is short for Arcadia Machine & Tool. They make among other things guns. I have a pair of twins AMT Hardballer Longslides. Not very conceilable but sweet shooting puppies once you get the sear broken in; they are kinda stiff when new. I couple hundred rounds loosens them right up. Their .380 is of similar quality; all stainless. Based on Colt models; only thing that sucks with these model but is easily fixed is the magazines. The magazines are really flimzy; just replace with a better quality mag. I am not sure on this but I thought that AMT went out of business a long time ago.

I have about three acres to mow and 30acres of woods. I have trails to maintain and wood to haul for home use. The tractor will need to haul gravel and wood chips, plus I live in upstate New York and have up to 150 inches of snow each year. Thanks for any help.

There was a JD dealer in Sacramento, Ca area that had a bunch of Gators, back hoes and lots of other implements on his lot. He finally went belly up a couple of years ago. I heard that Deere keep sending him more inventory but he could move his inventory, lost everything and is now working for another dealer.

These guys have hit you good. Way to low of RPM for mowing as you are well below the torque curve for any power for climbing a grade. Way to much air presure, let the air down till you get a full width tire print on the ground. The other thing is trying to remember not tho treat the hydro petal as a gas petal. You have to let up not push down to climb a grade.
