My TC29DA has about 500 hours, starts and runs fine, but the tachometer stopped working yesterday. A search here revealed a bad alternator as one possibility, even if still charging the battery. Will attempt to check wires ( p terminal) but curious as to general life expectancy for the...
The pin on the backhoe bucket was frozen to the point it had ripped a weld free from a 1/2" steel bracket. Would not budge with lots of heat, PB blast, sledge and drift. So welded a 1 1/8" nut on the end and using the impact wrench back and forth many times it broke free. Dewalt and the Harbor...
I'm planting 100 arborvitae and fruit trees around our property but first needed to clear the areas of nearly impenetrable vines ( including poison ivy) and ground cover that has been growing for decades. Dragging the FEL bucket did nothing so decided to try the backhoe. Extending the boom...
When lowering a very heavy 3 point chipper back to the ground I try to do it smoothly to avoid unnecessary strain or wear on the tractor, but it is difficult to prevent a bit of bouncing unless I just slam the lever forward and let the chipper drop.
Is there a right or better way to lower heavy...
No I have a regular 60" HC mower deck, and had the dealer install the mulch kit which is just a bunch of sheet metal parts and special blades. The chute is completely sealed as part of the mulch kit- everything stays inside the blender. I have the hinged plastic chute guard and hardware in case...
Very true.
Yes, each of my three blade bays are partially baffled, with the exit chute off the right side completely blocked. I had the dealer install the mulching kit when I bought the machine new a few years ago. Never used in 'chute open' mode. The Deere mulching blade have in effect a...

Good luck.
I could not be happier with the traction of my X739. 4 wheel drive combined with 4 wheel steering is unbeatable for a tractor platform- excellent traction and mowing.
I wanted the tractor so I could use it to pull aerators and big wagons. Extremely satisfied. 60" deck with mulching kit does a...
The mulching kit on my Deere lawn tractor has pretty much eliminated raking leaves. It does an amazing job.
As the Fall grass starts growing again after the hot dormant Summer ( I'm in Connecticut), the mulching kit pulverizes the long grass and leaves together. Obviously key for leaves to be...
I have an X739 with 60" deck and the mulching kit, which included Deere's version of mulching blades. They mow very nice. For some reason, I got the idea to purchase different mulching blades - Oregon, that have the 3 or 4 'fins' rising in the back of the blade. Look like the Gators. They are...
I've a lot of 8' tall ornamental grasses on my property that every Spring I have to cut and then dispose of. This year out of curiosity I've run some through my PTO chipper/New Holland TC29 and it comes out decently shredded.
My question- am I subjecting my tractor to unnecessary wear and tear...
I seem to recall quite a while back that some of these came with no filler port for the front reduction gearboxes on the 4WD model. I'm changing all my fluids and can't find anywhere to put oil in except the main port on the axle itself. Did I remember correctly that some don't have these filler...
