Its a close and fast calculator , granted its for concrete buts it darn close for estimating. go to www.concretenetwork.com link to their calculator on left side of page Just plug in length(ft), width(Ft) and inches thick and click you got yards. I found afew places that are selling not by the yard but by tonnage (haven't figured that conversion yet)

For what its worth- in my area(MI) they sell recycled ground up concrete for subbase and topping for driveways. From the one drive I seen, once it gets a bit of traffic packing it, its as tuff as poured. Most drives in my area get the 22a road gravel (claytype sand and gravel) 6-12" thk depend on subgrade. I had some 21AA gravel and stone dust left from some projects so I started an 'experiment' a short driveway to my barn-laid the gravel and thin layerd the stone dust on top-so far it's holding up real good no wheel 'ruts'.

For my 2.25 cents worth, when I purchased my tractor, NH credit wanted to know about how I was to insure it , My homeowner policy agent said I was covered under my home owner policy and as along as I was NOT doing commerical wrk and not driving on a public road I'd be okay

I've got a similar scene - 10 acres and small garden , I'm pretty happy with my TC33 with loader handles my 60" brush hog, tiller and snowblower fine. Depends if you got a lot of saplings to whack and how are you plowing with "2 bottom plow'; or tiller?

wolftownjeff-
you say the screen from a 24 fits the 33? Is there a part number or an idea of cost? I just want to be armed with some info when I stop at the dealer to get one of those 'radiator savers'. My 33 has a space for it but nothing, evenowners manual shows it. Dealer said factory wasn't adding them as 'most people didn't follow thru on maintance and these screens where a big culprit' for repairs.
Thanks Woodie

I was contemplating the same idea about building a set (or buy them) and move the stuff around in my barn (10ft ceiling) but got to thinking after I moved my boat trailer into the corner using those car dollies (about $40 a set) and thought why not put all my implents on those dollies and move the stuff to and from the tractor instead of jockeying tractor around... they WORK great

Before I bug the dealer. Does any one else have similar problem. I have a NH TC33D with HST, I have to Strong-arm the lever to get it into range Yes I put the clutch in. I found that if I 'pump' the clutch twice it will shift reasonable easy

I am new (about a year) to this tractor thing and have put about 72 hours on my B2710 hogging with a Woods 60" rotary cutter and doing some driveway work with a rear scraper blade. I have already managed to bend the male portion of the telescoping stabilizer bar (right side) of the three point hitch. Not sure just how or when I did it but think it happened when I backed into a fence with the cutter. It was a wire fence and it gave so I didn't think much about it until later I noticed the male bar was bent upwards about 45 degrees at the end of the female sleeve. Is this a weak point on the hitch? Soft metal? Has anyone else had this problem? I didn't think I was being that hard on my equipment. I ordered a new stabilizer bar from my dealer for $10.95 and an extra just in case.

I have five front end weights that were on a JD790. I would like to use them on my Kubota B2710. Is there a bracket or box or something available from either JD or Kubota that goes on the front of the B2710 to hold the weights? Looking for a solution that is cheaper than buying a new set of Kubota weights.
