    Bending Lift Arms

    I picked up a disc harrow to go with my TC30 a few months ago, and I finally got a chance to use it. Here is the problem. The right lift arm likes to bend at the point the sway bar is bolted into it. I'd say it bends inward a quarter inch or so from that point. I took it off after I first...

    Tractoring $ rate

    Hello everyone. I've been working hard on my garden for this year. Pictures coming soon. It's turning out really good. On to topic. I recently received a job offer. Some guys want me to use my gardening tools to help them put in their spring wildlife food plots. I'm "somewhat"...

    Cooking on Smoker

    I picked up a Brinkman charcoal smoker (It is the small round smoker.) yesterday and tried it out this afternoon. Wife wants me to do a big B-B-Que on the 1st, so I thought I'd try it first. However, I do not want to cook with charcoal briquets. I want to cook on oak. So this is what I did...

    Irrigation with pumps

    Now this is a subject that I know nothing about. However, I'd like to try. There is a creek that runs maybe a hundred yards from my corn patch. This garden itself is narrow, stretches maybe a hundred yards also. I'd like to move some of this free running water to where it could be of some...

    Equipment Dolly

    What a difference wheels make! I've been manhandling my rotary cutter around my shop for some time. I knew that if I kept this up, I'd eventually hurt myself, so the other day I got the bright idea to buy a furniture dolly for the front of it while visiting TSC. This made a huge difference...

    TC30 "The Boss"

    The TC30 continues to impress me. It certainly is one stout tractor, little as it is. Yesterday, I tackled a project that had been growing, literally, for the past four years. One of the pastures had begun to be taken over with saplings. They were unwelcome. However, until this past spring...

    Sun Shade purchase

    This weekend I visited the TSC and picked up a sun shade by a US company called TuffTop. You can find them on the web at TuffTOP : The Smartest Sun Shade on the Market . They come in a variety of colors, though the one I purchased is white. It seems to be a nicely constructed yet light weight...

    Moving around dirt

    OK, here is what I'd like to do. Some years ago, we had a pond expanded and the dirt was just spread on the existing dam. This made it high, in some places 4 feet above water level. Also, erosion caused the top to become rather narrow. I've never liked the result of this project, and would...

    Tiller  Tiller service

    I just cleaned up and gave the NH tiller a few shots of grease since using last weekend. The left-hand side has a zerk, yet the right does not. Is the right a sealed bearing, or does the gear-oil bath take care of it? I worked a nice amount of trash, grass, sand, etc. out of the groove where...

    King Kutter / New Holland Showdown

    Well, this weekend we had them both in the field: I with my NH, and my brother with his KK. The obstacles included four food plots. Two were of 1/2 acre in size and the other two were each ¼ acre. One of the smaller plots was virgin ground. One of the larger had not been cut in over a year...

    Weekend fun - tomato stand

    Some of you may remember the photos of my garden I posted earlier. Now I live in a neighborhood, and my garden consists of eleven raised beds that are 4' x 20' all located in the back corner of my yard. For a little weekend fun, My wife asked me to let our 5 year-old daughter sale tomatoes to...

    Spreader  Am I just greedy... Spreader would be nice!

    Since a few of you did such a nice job of talking me into a sprayer, I thought I'd tell you about my next interest, one of those ATV mounted spreaders. This unit is not a must, just a want. Instead of having to tow the tractor all over when fertilizer needs to applied to food plots etc., it...

    Sprayer  ATV sprayers

    I'm thinking of adding a sprayer to my arsenal and have looked at both tractor driven and atv driven units. Since I don't have huge areas that may need spraying with roundup, etc, the tractor units might be a little much. I'm thinking of 1/2 to 1 acre projects. With that being said, both the...

    First encounter, armidillo

    This past weekend, I was out in the corn patch picking some silver queen when three armadillos walked up on me. Actually, at the time I was sitting in the shade pulling the shucks on a bucket of corn when I heard something rustling in the leaves under an oak tree maybe twenty feet away. They...

    Garden photos

    Well, I finally got some pictures developed. I've really enjoyed playing in my little garden this year. This is the first time I have tried bedding the soil and using the landscaping fabric to help fight the weeds. Squash, bush beans, and okra is coming in. The pole beans are not far behind...

    Finishing Mower Q??

    My father-n-law could use a little help with his yard, so I decided to try my TC30 with ags on his three acre lawn. The tires are not loaded, so I did not think that the tractor would leave a mark. It did not. You actually could not even tell that the tractor had been on the lawn. The mower...

    Cleaning my SUT

    I was out admiring my SUT, Sport Utility Tractor and noticed that the seat has some grim on it that does not wash off. This is primarily dust from the field. What cleaner do you guys use to pull it out?

    Corn Care

    OK. The corn is now up between 6 to 8 inches, acre total. I'm thinking of giving it a little shot of nitrogen soon, but before I do, I'd like to hear from some of you who also grow corn. How tall do you let yours get before you turn on the Nitro? Actually, we've had a few rains this spring...

    Now this is cute!

    I went up to my feed-n-seed a week ago, and I had my 4-year-old with me. So we came home with these.

    Playing in the dirt

    So I finally got a few pictures of my TC30. I really like this little tractor. It was given a workout last week or so and now I have 32 hours on the machine. The seat is very large and provides a nice amount of comfort while working. This proved to be important, because I developed the bad...

    New equipment woes

    So, I now have seven skinned knuckles from working on new equipment! Boy, my dealer is going to hear from me tomorrow. I picked up three implements this weekend to go with the TC30. After backing the rotary cutter into the garage, I sat it down and walked around it to clear something out of...

    What a tough looking little machine, TC30 with ags

    This morning I made it up to my NH dealer to check on the status of my little tractor, the TC30. As soon as I pulled up on the lot I saw her, and boy is she nice looking. Actually, I had R1 tires put on, so I was very curious as to how they would affect the tractors profile. I've only ever...

    Chains and binders

    What would be an appropriate grade chain and style of binder to anchor tractor to trailer. The tractor would be a TC30 and the trailer would be 18ft. Do you run one in center front and one center back? If implement is attached, do you go over or under it? What do you think of the come-along...

    Oil & Fuel  How do you fuel your TC30?

    OK, the TC30 has its fuel port right center of the hood. What tricks have you come up with to keep from pouring fuel all over the hood?

    Could I get one in pink? Please.

    Spring is in the air, and I'm just itching to go play in the dirt. So to make sure that I have the appropriate tools this year, I've been comparing a few tractors. As of late, I've been giving a close look to the JD 790, NH TC30, and Kubota L2800. Yes, I like them all, but only one gets to...

    One brake axle OK??

    While looking for a trailer, I was offered one with brakes on one axle, 18 ft long, 3500 lb axles. Initially, I was thinking of having brakes on both axles, but this dealer seems to think that one is just fine for around a 5000 lb package. If you have only one axle brake, could you tell me if...

    790

    Well, we have had a rather soggy morning here, so I took a little ride instead of sitting in front of the T.V. There's this new Deere dealer about 10 miles away, and I kind of wanted to take a look at the 790. Prior to today, I'd given them a passing glance but had never crawled around one...

    Top 5 in 5 ???

    It seems I have a nearby Montana Dealer now. He is former Cub Cadet and right across the road from NH. Very nice looking place. Has a two bay service garage, office is a nicely positioned modular unit with deck, concrete yard and high chain link all the way around. And sitting right next to...

    Mitsubishi/cub cadet

    OK, I was looking at the new web page everyone is talking about and pulled up their compact and utility tractors. So which, if any are still built by Mitsubishi. Are the 7500's, or is the series smaller than this one. Also, I noticed the Utility, 8000 have daedong engines. Are these the same...

    TC30 Impliment Compatibility

    Could someone shed some light on this for me? I was looking over the brochure for the TC30 and turned to the implement section. It shows the 105A Rotary Tiller as a preferred attachment. Now as I was looking over all these blue implements, I thought it interesting that the dealer sells NH...

    What happened to Ford

    OK guys, could use some help here. I've been looking at tractors for a little while, mostly would love a good "garden" tractor, so I did a little research on tractor, historical, development to get some specs as a benchmark. The Ford N series, like 8N came to the forefront in my search. I...

    L3400 lift jerk ??? Overblown

    So I had the opportunity to actually try out the L3400 today. Had the dealer hitch'er up to an implement. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. What a disappointment! I was expecting the tractor to hop all over the place. It didn't. Picking up an implement, it did fine. Lowering...

    Dealer  One less Internet ignorant dealer

    Today I had a little free time on my hands, so I decided to call around and check prices on the L3400 HST. I saw one the other day and thought the HST to be a rather nifty feature on this tractor. I’ve read plenty of posts concerning the advantages or disadvantages of this feature, but...

    Farmtrac 360

    Well, this morning I took a trip out to Conyers, GA and visited Gamble77 at his shop, Wilson Tractor. If you are in the market for a nice tractor, I recommend that you take a look at Farmtrac. I was thoroughly impressed with the 360. Also, Gamble is a really nice guy. He was more than...

    1533-1540 or 1433-1440

    I stopped in a MF dealer the other day and while nosing around, I ran across the 15 series. I was quite impressed with what I saw. Currently, all I know about them is that they are an import model made by Iseki in Japan. At first I thought that the 33 hp engine might be a little small in such...

    Who has one? Farmtrac 360 or 390

    I've been looking at tractors for a while, and have decided that 3000 lbs is about as heavy as I want to go on my next tractor. I've seen only one 360 and was impressed with it. What are your opinions etc? I'd love to hear from more people who actually own one. Looking back over the previous...

    Now I believe ...

    It's all in the dealer. I write this while reflecting on the posts I've read which debated buying locally as to traveling a little for the best deal. Personally, I've been of the mindset that I'd do what I had to in order to save a little money, but after the experience I had today, I've now...
