    Replacement Finish Mower Blades

    I have a Buhler finish mower, also known as a FarmKing or Allied. It's the 72" model Y650R and I need to replace the blades on it. I'm having a difficult time finding any replacement blades for it. Any of you out there know of a replacement blade? The dimensions are 25.75" long with a...

    Shifting in/out of fwd - do you clutch?

    I've read some posts that shifting in or out of fwd is difficult at times and some people need to lift the front end off the ground with the loader to engage or disengage their fwd. The shifting on my DX33 is the opposite - it's as smooth as butter (knock on wood). Last night I was tilling...

    Another Class II Cup Holder Idea

    I know there have been some different home-made cup holder ideas around on the forums, so I thought I would share mine. Please forgive me for my poor instructions, but hopefully the pictures will help. This was on my class II unit with an LX114 loader (14LA for you NH folks), I'm not sure if...

    Leaky battery on new Farmall

    I opened the hood on my new DX33 last weekend and what did I find??? Battery corrosion! I've only used it twice and have just over 4 hours on the clock. The upsetting part of this whole deal is that CNH has know about the leaky battery problem and said they have it fixed in the new models...

    Question Regarding Remote Hydraulics

    Today my dad and I installed 2 remote hydraulics on my DX33. The instructions were OK but this great link was very useful. All in all, a very enjoyable job. When we took the "stock" plate off there were 4 o-rings used. We then added the 2 remotes with 4 o-rings between each remote and got...

    New DX33!!

    Picked up my new DX33 Farmall today! Also got the rear ballast box, 2 rear remotes (which I will install myself when the weather warms up a little more), grill guard, block heater, and 68" quick-attach bucket. The bucket and grill guard haven't arrived yet. I really don't need the tractor yet...

    Buying a trailer

    I'm trying to determine how much trailer <b>length</b> I'll need to haul a CaseIH DX33 (same as a NH TC33D) with the loader on and one rear implement (tiller, box blade, or snowblower). I don't have the DX33 yet, so I can't go out and measure it, but I'm looking to purchase the trailer first...

    Trailering a 33

    Greetings all! I'm trying to determine how much trailer length I'll need to haul a DX33 with the loader on and one rear implement (tiller, box blade, or snowblower). I don't have the DX33 yet, so I can't go out and measure it, but I'm looking to purchase the trailer first. I'm looking at a 16'...

    Snow  Snow Blower size for Class II

    Looking at the Boomer Implement Chart on NH's website, they list a 60" rear mounted blower for the class II. Yet they list a 63" front-mounted blower for the class I. Would a TC33 adequately handle a 66" or 72" blower, or would it be best to stay with the recommended 60" size? The reason I...

    Post Hold Diggers

    While reading another post regarding PHDs, I got to wondering. Would a hydraulic PHD used on a skid loader, work on the NH loader with the Quck Attach option? It seems to me that with a PTO powered PHD, if you get "locked" up on a rock or tree root, you'd have a heck of a time getting the...

    Ballasting Box

    I've seen a lot of post on here lately about filled tires and tire weights. I'm wondering if many people use a 3 point mounted ballasting box. I was planning on ordering one with my tractor, but thought I bettering get some opinions from TBNers. Seems to me the ballasting box would be simple...

    Quick Attach option

    More loader questions.... I'd like to hear from owners what types of attachments they use on their loaders with the Quick Attach feature. My first thought was that I don't need this option as I can't think of what I'd ever use it for. I'd like to gain some additional knowledge about it before...

    Loader Buckets

    Full of questions tonight!! Is a cutting edge required on the heavy duty buckets? They state that they have holes for a cutting edge, but I'm not really sure if they're needed. No doubt it will help, but does it hurt anything to not use one? What do most people recommend? Thanks again!

    Hydraulic Packages

    This is probably a simple question, but I just want to make sure I understand. When ordering a loader, there is an option for Hydraulic Packages. The description says "Two spool valve with simultaneous lift and curl function." When ordering the tractor, there is an option to order it as...

    Midwest Finish Mowers Availability

    I know it's not really mowing season, but does anyone know if the new 30-Series finish mowers are available? I'm interested to know what people think about them and would also like some pricing information. I emailed Jim at Midwest several weeks ago with no response. Thanks!
