Thanks Joel.

I've seen those specs. and that's what my question is about. I want to know if that stated lift capacity is measured at maximum height or not.

The other manufacturers give capacities at max. height and at lower heights. It seems there is a significant difference between what the loader can lift to 4 or 5 feet, and what it lifts to 9 feet. I am trying to make a fair comparison, so am looking for the same measurement of both loaders.

I think I found the problem!! (For the glo-plug anyway.)
Used my favorite trouble shooting technique for intermittant problems- bang and wiggle on stuff until you get the failure. It seems the bolt holding the Glo Plug Controller (385870300) was a little loose. I could wiggle the contoller and get the glo-plug lamp to come on and off. I tightend the bolt for now, but expect to replace the controller ($44).

Hope this does it.

Thanks for the info.

Right now I'm most interested in the Kubota L4240HST. But I'm still shopping. I will look at the TC45 also. There's no JD dealer nearby, so they're out.

I was satisfied with the NH, but not overwhelmed. It has had some minor mechanical problems that I didn't expect to see on a new tractor. I don't care for the SuperSteer. It reduces ground clearance, and has the problem of moving the loader in the opposite direction (initially). With practice I've learned to deal with it, but still a nuicance. Mostly, I'm trading because I need a stronger loader, not because I hate my tractor. I will consider a TC45, but if costs are similar, I'm guessing I'll give Kubota a try.
