    How do you remove a model 7 backhoe from a JD790?

I also see some spring loaded latches forward and underneath on each side, but I pulled on them and they don't budge. not even a little. I also see a couple of latch pins between the tractor and the backhoe. How is...

    JD 4410 versus JD 870 loader speed

    I sold a 4410 with a 430 FEL and bought an 870 with a 440 FEL. The loader on the 870 is one heck of a lot slower when I curl the bucket up than the 430 loader. Any reason why? Also, Anyone know the lift capacity on the 440 loader? Thanks

    How do you adjust Rockshaft height on a JG 4410??

    Mine doesn't go up far enough to get my backhoe on right. It is shy about 1". The manual says it can be adjusted but by a dealer. I don't want to take it to a dealer.

    Mowing  Will a Frontier 72" finish mower handle briers OK?

    Will a Frontier 72\" finish mower handle briers OK? I have a lot of briers in a pasture that has been unmowered for years. They are about 1/2" at the base at most and the grass is about 1 1/2' high. Will the finish mower handle it without busting it up or do I really need a bush hog?? Thanks, Rich
