Hello. I have a dx40/tc40d with a pedal problem. When the tractor has been run awhile and warmed up. The pedals loose almost all of the pressure both forward and reverse. Everything is fine when cold. I just changed filters and proper fluids. Any ideas or where to start? Thank you,Griz.

hello i was wondering if anybody had any ideas on what i can do with my problem. my tractor goes very fast in reverse (like new) but forward probably half of what it did when i got it new. looking at the pedals the forward pedal travels a short distance and the hydo lines stop it when pushed...

Hi, does anyone know if a jd 609 (6 footer with 4" cutting capacity) is too much for my case dx 40. It weighs 1200llbs with a tractor hp rating of 40hp and my tractors 3pt is at about 2300lbs. I just wonder if thats going to be too much weight to throw around while using a medium/heavy duty...

Hi, I am in the market for a new cutter to replace my old 6' one. I am trying to decide between a USED bush hog 285 or a NEW Rhino172 or Woods bb72x. The 285 is in pretty good condition ( a little faded) and is more than 5 years old (guessing around 8 yrs.). The price difference is at around...

Used 6\' cutter or new? Hello everyone, well I finally got my tractor and I am needing a rear cutter(bushog) to take care of some fields. I have searched around and have found a couple of used 6' and of course a bunch of new. The used are an international, and mono brands, they look fairly...

I want to thank all of you, for the excellent info, opinions, and responses. I FINALLY (AND I MEAN FINALLY), decided and ordered a new tractor today. It is a Case DX40, loader, grill gaurd, filled tires, q/a bucket, set of remotes, tooth bar, and first bunch of filters(and bh758c will come...

Hello, I am down to the wire and am trying to decide on weather to fill my tires, use ez wieghts, or maybe use a 3pt. weight (boxblade, filled barrel)? I will be doing loader work, brush hog, and general landscaping. My thought was if I don't fill my tires, it may help keep my weight down when...

Hello, I was considering the hst 40 and have read that the gear models are a little better when pulling long periods of time for constant speed. I see that u can have cruise on the hst models, so does that not help you when you need to keep a constant speed for awhile, or does it not work very...

Hello everyone. I am now cosidering a hst tc40d and was wondering if the aprox. 2hp loss (PTo) with the hst model compared to the gear is significant? Will I notice it when pulling or maybe going up hill or something. I know there is the big hydro vs gear debates, but I am just wondering...

Hello! I asked my nh dealer to get a toothbar for a q/a bucket and he said all he can get for it is a "cutting Edge". Does anyone know what it is and is it as good. I think there is something wrong with his answer because I see that some of you with the tc40's have a toothbar and I have...

Hello everyone! I am coming down to the wire in buying and am going crazy. I am very close to getting the tc40 but now wondering if I am going for more tractor than I really need, so was pondering a tc 30. I know they are two diff. tractors, but will the 30 do everything I need? I have 40...

Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone has purchased or checked on prices of shop manuals for nh. If so how much do they normally run and are they pretty easy to read. (I have heard some are not translated very well). I know it may vary depending on the part of the country but I was just...

Hello everyone! Well I am getting so very close to buying time! I am still looking seriously at the tc 40, with a dk40 (kioti) right behind it. The nh has a 12/12 trans. and the kioti has a 8/8. Does anyone have any comments on advantages for either. Both are equiped basically the same...

Hello everyone, Does anyone own a Landtrac tractor? I have a few dealers close and was considering the 360 or maybe even the 390, but was wondering if people are happy with them that own them. Someone mentioned that the tranny's are Eaton can anyone clairify that? Thanks, Griz.

Hello everyone, Well, I drove a 3045 today, and liked it. Although the fwd/rev lever was a little stiff to move, I was wondering if this is a common thing with new tractors or not? If so, does it loosen up after awhlile? Thanks, Griz.
