    X590 lift arms stuck?

    This is a weird one; our x590 has never had a serious problem. But I had to take the mowing deck off tonight to reinstall the belt, which had come off one of the rollers. Something seemed strange, though; the deck wasn't going all the way down to the ground....wt...?. I did get the deck off with...

    x590 tires keep going flat: HDAP tire options?

    We use our x590 to mow a large tree planting. The job involves going in and around, and around the trees to keep invasive grasses and other vegetation from choking out the trees, especially the smaller ones that are still struggling to get well-established. We've been doing this for several...

    Tips/help for mounting Curtis 4208 snow plow on Kubota RTV900?

    We've had this plowing setup for about 4 years, and mounting this plow has always been a major pain. We always seem to get it really , really close, but something is always off by a tiny bit. It might be height, angle, or whatever. It's really frustrating. The connecting arms frequently get...

    TC33D Electrical: flasher lights won't turn off

    When I took the tractor out yesterday, I noticed that the flasher lights were on, even though I hadn't turned them on. And the switch on the dashboard had no effect; I couldn't shut them off. After I brought the tractor back to the barn, I pulled two fuses; the second one worked (the other one...

    x540 low power, smells of gas while running

    We've got a 2009 liquid-cooled x540 (bought used), now with roughly 300-350 hours on it. When we got it it a couple of seasons ago, it was running great, such a smooth and powerful machine. Recently, though, my wife (the main user of this machine) has been complaining of low power. So I went out...

    replacement for 325

    We've had a JD 325 for 13 years (~1000 hours) with a 54-inch deck, and have had more and more problems for the past 2-3 years. Nothing major in terms of components failing, but it's been one thing after another, and usually when we need it most: failed engine seal, replace oil filter housing...

    RTV 900: easy to self-service

    Hello, We're thinking about getting an RTV 900 (just drove one the other day), and I was wondering about how easy these machines are to service. I thinking mainly about basic things like changing the oil, oil filter, grease points, etc. How accessible is all of this stuff? I already have a New...

    TC33D hand throttle 'slipping'

    I've been noticing over the past month or two that the hand throttle on my TC33D keeps 'slipping' downwards (to about 2000-2200 RPM) while I'm trying to mow. For a while it seemed to hold once the tractor warmed up. But now I have to hold it up with my hand in order to keep the RPMs at about...

    Sprayer  Fimco sprayer pressure gauge

    I was testing my 55 gallon 3-point Fimco sprayer yesterday (with water) when I saw water pouring out of the pressure gauge. There are no clogs anywhere -- I checked. Fortunately I think I still have enough water pressure to spray an acre with glysophate this week. The gauge seems to be busted...

    TC33D Won't Start

    TC33D Won\'t Start I get lights, but it's not even turning over. The battery looked a bit aged, so I replaced it this afternoon, but no dice. It still won't even make a sound when I turn the key. I last used the tractor -- which is less than four years old -- about a week and a half ago. It...

    Sprayer  Sprayer pump and torque chain?

    I just purchased a Fimco 55-gallon sprayer and Hypro 6 roller pump (6500XL) to hook up to my New Holland TC33D. The sprayer came with a torque chain and an 'S' pin that is (according to the manual) for connecting to the pump. It doesn't say how, and I (not exactly a genius, I admit) can't see...

    TC33D: Help Please -- what's this piece of hose?

    TC33D: Help Please -- what\'s this piece of hose? While brushcutting the other day, I found a short (2-2 1/2 ft long) piece of clear plastic hose on the ground that must have come off my tractor. Now, I'm no mechanic, but here's what it looks like: on one end it has some broken black material...
