This is the year I'm jumping into solar energy. It will be a learning process. I have two projects on the drawing board, one of which isn't very "tractor" intensive, but the other will have enough seat time to qualify. The first is to provide water to my home during an electrical outage. I...

I've been shopping for a mower, and was just about ready to buy a leftover JD LX280 AWS, when this X324 (see attachment) showed up in my dealer's showroom. There were enough differences to change my mind. Pricing on the LX280 AWS with 48C deck was: List price: $5179 Dealer price: $4649 Less...

On 23 May, I sent an email to Integration Engineering inquiring about the availability of a top-and-tilt setup for my tractor. I received a nice reply from Jim McCuan the next day stating the items I need were in stock. I placed an order the next day and they sent a Paypal invoice which I...

I'm having a little trouble figuring out how my backhoe subframe should have been assembled. The backhoe manual has nothing on the subframe, and I do not have the subframe instructions. (I have a 758C on a TC35DA, but I think the same subframe is used for the 757C and all class III tractors.)...

New TC35DA with grille guard - hood won\'t open! What did my dealer do to me? I just tried to open the hood on my new TC35DA and the grille guard brackets interfere with the bottom of the hood, making it impossible to open. (Yes, I did fold the guard down!) The guard appears to be installed...

I've been enjoying my new backhoe yesterday evening and today - digging trenches and (hopefully) sealing a pond leak. It seems to be very sturdy and does a real job digging. I only had to remove one stump - about 10" diameter - in soft muck. The tree had been cut nearly a year and it popped...

You may or may not be aware that I am suffering from an acute case of "Tractor Madness". While this is no excuse for what I did today, maybe you can at least accept it as an explanation. I called my tractor dealer this morning, only to receive the bittersweet news that my long-awaited TC35DA...

I'm expecting delivery of a new tractor and backhoe shortly, and one of the first backhoe jobs will be to patch a leak in my pond. I'm going to be cutting a trench across the leaky area and backfilling with a mixture of local clay and bentonite. My question is on the use of the backhoe bucket...

After several weeks of studying paint color chips (as well as a million other details from sales brochures, manufacturer websites, TBN, and tractors on dealer lots) I have finally made my color choice. It's blue! Today I purchased a shiny New Holland TC35DA, 16LA loader, and 758C backhoe. I'm...

I'm having trouble getting the price I want locally on a new 3320, 300CX, and 448. I'll probably make the deal anyway, but I don't see any need to reward my dealer by buying all my add-ons from him. Anyone know a good mail order source for discount JD stuff? I'll need things like top and...

Hi everyone - another new member here. I'm in the market for a new tractor. I've got an old Ford 601 I've been using to maintain 7 beautiful acres of rolling clay, springs, pond, woods, swamp, and mud in eastern Kentucky. I'm leaning toward a JD 3000-Twenty series mid-chassis CUT, probably...
