I was a little remiss in keeping up with the air pressure in my tires. Last time out plowing the seal on my rear tire broke and I lost all the air and ballast. After getting the bead reset and the tire refilled I checked all my tires and inflated to just under the recommended maximum. I was out...

I had a front tire go down last weekend. I was going to replace them anyway becuase they didn't have much bite for plowing snow last winter. I had Titan Trac Loaders Titanｮ Tire catalog I called around and got pricing. The dealer I chose said he'd give me either the Titan Tire or the Carlisle...

My tractor has developed a fluid leak in the rear end. I've attached a picture (not the best) where you can see the two spots on the driveway. The leak may be coming from a gasket between the pieces that are bolted together. I assume this isn't an easy or cheap repair. Anyone had this type of...

I really like this Deckover Trailer but they won't ship and its a 15 hour drive to the dealer. I like the width at 102" and the 16' flat deck. I can use it for my tractor and for the four wheelers. I've looked at other deckover trailers but they end up being serious heavy duty for contractors...

I decided to give up on the goat idea for clearing a section my property and started looking into brush hog mowers. I don't want to spend big bucks on something since after I get this area cleaned up I won't have much additional use for it. I looked all over the internet and the used equipment...

I have an area of land adjacent to my house that I want to clean up. First I thought about goats and even started putting up an electric fence. But the deer are tearing down the fence as fast as I put it up and the wife and kids are worried about what will happen to the goats over the winter...

Are the bolts holding the blades on metric? They're bigger than 3/4" and smaller than 7/8". I can't get them to move with an adjustable so I planned to use the impact wrench but I don't have a socket to fit it. I don't own any metric sockets that are that large. Thanks, Kip

I was out plowing snow the other day. It was about 15 degrees outside. The needle on my temperature gauge barely moved off the bottom line. It seems to me that the engine temp would still run close to normal even with the colder temps. Has anyone else experienced this or is it likely that my...

Several years ago I bought a 14 acres and built a house on it. The lot was wooded but had some undergrowth. Now that we're in the house and some of the other projects are done, I'd like to clear out some of that undergrowth. A friend of mine was in town from Tennessee last week and for the...

Is anyone using a snowblower on their TC 24D? I drove by a place today that sells equipment on consignment. I didn't stop but it looked to be about 5'. I looked at the NH website but they don't seem to offer a blower for the 24. Can I put a blower on the back or is the tractor too small? If I...

I'm getting ready to change the oil on my TC 24D. When I bought the tractor the dealer gave me a NH Lubrication Maintenance Guide. In the pamphlet the oil capacity is listed at 4.2 Qts. In the Operators Manual the capacity is listed at 3.5 Qts. Does anyone know which is correct?

I was out spraying liquid sevin around the perimeter of my house to control the critters. I was spraying the ground when suddenly the ground moved. Lo and behold I just debugged a baby rabbit. I figured if I didn't clean it off, it would probably die from the pesticide. But then I was worried...

Since getting the my NH TC24 back in October, I've been finding more and more uses for it. We got about 3" of snow already this evening. This morning I promised my five year old son that we would go sledding after dinner if it snowed. The snow we got this afternoon on top of the 10" we got on...

I just moved into our new home back in August. It has a 24'x30' garage that is attached to the house by a mud room. I insulated the walls and ceilings but there is no heat in the garage. I didn't really think about the heat until yesterday. We've had an unusual winter here in central PA. Its...

Any home brewers out there? I'm relaxing with a fine Sierra Nevada Pale Ale that I brewed a couple of weeks ago. I just bottled it last Monday so its not fully carbonated yet, but I couldn't wait and cracked one open. Another couple of days and it should be perfect. I'm always on the look out...
