I have the 7254. bought it last august 50hours on meter. It is to small for what I want to do. My land has a forest and it has problems removing stumps. I have also a 35degree rock drive. It will not pull rock up with a finishing box struggles with just a blade. I will say it is a great lawn mower but i wanted a tractor. I am now in process of wanting to sell it. I have my eyes on the kubota L3110. I had planed on getteing the backhoe attachment for the 7254 but i don't think for a second the hydrolics could handle it. by the way very important to know the pto on this 7254 is elec. so wen you engage it you better be at full throtle. another note the hydrolic pump whines like nothing else you might also want to by a set of ear plugs.

If memory serves, the TC30, like the Deere 790, is a more dated design. A bit harder to get on and off of with a tranny hump and control levers between your legs.

If there is a Deere dealer nearby you will find that the 4115 compares quite favorably with the B7800, and a 4110 would also get the job done in fine style. Both have a wonderful reputation for reliability.

Muletrain: I am glad to hear the RTV will out run a Mule. I thought it was a bit underpowered, with nothing to compare it to... but then I am pushing it up dirt trails over 7000+ foot passes and it is nowhere near broke-in.

BTW, the sales literature sez the trans will downshift automatically to climb hills. Does yours do that? Mine sure doesn't.

Billy, I have already added a windshield and a metal top. Probably get a glovebox next.... some place a bit more secure to keep Mr. S&W tucked away. Also found the HD tires unsuitable for my sandy environment. I know. Big surprise, huh?

I am currently running last years M&S radials from the wifes Camry. Major difference in traction, and it is faster (less down shifting)on up-hill stretches. Latest add-on(two days ago)is a Tiny Tach.

The dump bed is well worth the extra $600-$700 If you go back to add it later it will cost 4 times that much.

If you need more convincing, find a basic unit and raise the bed by hand. Then picture trying to do that with a load on board. If you want the kids or the wife to check the oil before they use it I think it is a must-have.

Has anyone here ever bought one of these plates and made their own fel attatchment for a specialty tool? I thought I heard I could purchase one for around $275. Does that sound high? Any info on where and what quality one should look for if buying one?<br>

Good luck AV8R. I am sorry to agree with you about my trade, but a watered down version of it is the future. (Funny in high school all the counselors talked about is how much of a demand the need for this would be in the future) LOL> Although we will never get away from the need to fix machines and fix broken dies and jigs, but the fact remains that technology has watered down the skill and knowlege needed to perform some of these duties. I have had to evolve with tech. and learn the ever changing ways of competing in the trade. I have realized that I cant stand being iside a building like a rat in a cage anymore. (Being in a cubical would be even worse) For the next few years I am staying in the buildings to complete my tour of duty as a father of teenagers but after that I will be changing (also) my line of work. I will be 44 when when my last of three rug rats turns 20! Like I said good luck I wish the best for you. You should do well for it sounds like you have alot of knowlege of other operations that will be a huge benifit in engineering.

Mark, the 13 inch bucket is a pretty good size. Sometimes I'm pulling out a little 3-4" stump and I'd like something smaller to leave a smaller hole, but even if I had a nine incher I'm sure I wouldn't take the time to swap over.

I have a B6200 with 60" mmm. I would like to raise the height of the mower deck so it rides higher in the full "up" position. It seems the only way to do this is the linkage arm between rear end of tractor and deck. This linkage arm is currently adjusted to length recommended in the manual, so I hesitate to shorten it. Am I missing something?<br>

My B6200, similar to B6100, is about 15hp at the engine. PTO hp is about 12-13. I think the B7200 is around 17hp, so the 7100 might be the same. I run a 60" mid-mount mower with my 6200 and the tractor has no power related problems, even with very high wet grass.

1. Yes, I have a 61" heavy duty bucket with a bolt-on cutting edge on mine. Can't give you the price since I don't have the price here but I'll try to post it tomorrow. I remember it being WELL worth the price. You may also want to have them weld some hooks on top of the bucket to use for lifting stuff with chains or straps.
2. I don't think JD makes a toothbar. Your dealer may have a source for these. Others have bought them and the prices seem to be around $250-$350.
3. I have an MX-5 and have nothing but good to say about it, but it's spendy. What are you cutting? If you regularly cut stuff that is 2" thick I'd go with the MX-5 over the LX-5.

if it's in the cross linkages then how about a wafer spring? looks like a pringle chip with a hole. ford uses them on brake pedal supports.

Farmuse: I have a new LK 3054 and have had some hydraulic problems as well. I believe its one of Kiotis' weak points but to your problems. I tried for months to get a response from Kioti USA with no contact but some of the guys on the board gave me some tips and they worked. I highly recommend that you send an e-mail to jingram at kiotitractor.com and tell her your problem. They (Kioti USA) not only helped me with my questions but best of all made sure the dealer followed up on everything to my satisfaction. i.e. When I got a new valve for the FEL I noticed the line fittings were not like the ones shown in the book I mentioned this to Kioti and the dealer delivered six new correct fittings. Small thing I guess but meant a lot to me. I hope this helps you get your tractor fixed.

I agree. but one thing is clear, never tow a hydro in gear. Forcing the motor to act as the pump will cause serious damage to the unit. The slow roll on a slope, depending on the gear selection, appears to within what either the pump can tolerate, or the pressure relief will accomodate. The last hydro I had wouldn't budge an inch without pedal movement. My kubota will roll, although I haven't really tested how much.

******WARNING********* THE FOLLOWING RANT IS FROM ONE FRUSTRATED NEW HOLLAND OWNER.
1) i know why they changed the name from ford to new holland. answer: because it's not worthy of the ford name stenciled on it.
i used a number of ford tractors with boxblades for quite a few years, so, i might be old, but I Ain't No Novice. i know how to use a blade, how the lift should work. this one works like "crap" (don't know how Plain i can get on this board, but believe me, what i'm saying is only scratching the surface of what i'm thinking!!!)
the lever needs two strong men & a mule to move it when you drop the blade. i'm just not strong enough to pull it back enough to lift the blade. i've put lightweight oil & sprayed wd40 on every connection i could see, but it didn't help at all.
the mechanic that sent a machine out to a customer with a lift like this should be forced to raise & lower lift for 10,000 times! And, then, his pay should be cut to minimum until he realizes that he has some responsibility to the customer.
i'm just so aggravated right now because i just came back in from trying to work on ThiS Piece Of Junk again! AAARRRGGGGG
i just bought this unit to play with but if i had to have it to work with, i've have to take it SomeWhere to have it worked on. - oh well, i'll just use the loader & level it the best i can (btw, i can't adjust the pressure on it & it won't pick up a sick mule, so, i'll just use it as a front blade)
if you ever buy a tractor, buy locally; know the guy well, be Godfather to his children; send him presents every holiday; vote for him for county council. And be sure to mow his lawn every saturday so if you have a problem with your tractor, you'll have SomeBody to HELP YOU>
i'm of a good mind to take insurance on it & drive it off a cliff (of course, if i had the blade down, i couldn't pick it up enough to get off the edge of the cliff & i'd just get stuck...again)
