Was digging a rock out of our pasture (never ending) using a Woods 9000 backhoe when I heard a big swoosh and I knew what it was before I even looked down Left stabilizer had gone down and it was wet with hydraulic fluid. To see how bad it was, I gave the stabilizer a little down pressure and...

Digging out large rocks with my Woods 9000 backhoe today and I noticed I snapped off a grease fitting on one of the stabilizer arms near the foot. It's a straight fitting (not elbow). The equivalent one on the other stabilizer arm looks like it simply screws in (it has a hexagon shape below the...

Was positioning tractor to move another boulder when the pedals went completely loose. Shut the tractor down and climbed underneath. Only 38hrs on the tractor. Appears that the spot weld where the pedal plate attaches to the shaft coming out of the transmission broke. This is the shaft which...

A question for all you with rocky pastures.... I've been cleaning out our pastures of various size rocks (we grow rocks here in NH) using a backhoe on a TC35D. After popping out the rocks, I can lift and move/dump some in a convenient area. The larger ones are a bit more difficult. I've been...

Just got finished pulling rocks/boulders from my pasture using my new Woods 9000 backhoe hanging off a TC35D. Could've spent all night having fun. What a power trip! Dug out some Big'uns...had to push them to their new location. I'd like to spend an hour on a large excavator...that must be...

Are the "pins" for the FROPS supposed to be key ring type pins or should they be like the other quick release pins on the tractor (flip snap ring and pull pin). Are they "key ring" type pins for safety or ??? I like the quick disconnect type pins (flip up ring and pull pin) as opposed to...

I have a brand new Bush Hog SQ600 rotary cutter. I used it today for the first time and went over some "small" rocks (hit about 6) sticking up about 2-5 inches in our rocky pasture. I'd immediately raise the cutter upon contact with any rocks. After the last rock (sticking up ~4-5 inches)...

Dealer \"options\" I've been looking at the TC35D (seems to be more tractor for the buck compared to JD4400, IMO - please no flame wars). Been speaking with local dealers and a couple questions have arose. Some dealers include a block heater as part of their base package. I live in New...

For those who financed a tractor, what was required for tractor insurance? Did you go with JD's insurance? If so, what was the yearly cost? Did homeowner's insurance cover it? If so, who do you have your homeowner's with? I'll be calling my insurance agent Monday, but want to know what others...

I'm looking to buy a 4300 or 4400 in New Hampshire. Spoke with 3 dealers so far...prices pretty close for my package. I'm wondering if anyone out here has recently bought a JD compact tractor in New Hampshire. If so, Who did you buy from? Were you happy with the dealership? What did you pay...
