We just purchased a B2920 for my wife (I have a NH TC45DA). The question I have is there any safety interlocks on the B2920 that must be engaged before you can start it. I went to the dealer and the guy wasn't really sure so he went out to a 2620 and sure enough it just cranked right up while...

I planted some winter rye and was ready to turn the field. Already had the plow hooked up and didn't want to take it off and put the brush hog on to mow down the rye before turning it over. Thought....I wonder how the ZD326 would do. Of course I didn't go throught it full forward speed but I...

For those that have a mulching kit on your ZD do you think it helps in keeping the dust and dirt down while mowing? You may not have this problem but at my place it is really dry right now and when I mow the dirt that gets sucked up and thrown out the side discharge is horrendous. The suction...

It just might be me use to the tractor and wanting more but it seems like my TC45DA has lost a bit of power since new. I have 475 hours on it and it seems like it just doesn't have the same power as it did when it had less than 100 hours on it. I've put new air and fuel filters in it and no...

Anybody carry a weed eater with them on there ZT? I have a canopy on my ZD 326 and was thinking of making some kind of bracket to hang the straight shaft trimmer from it. This way I don't have to make two trips to the front of the property. From the barn to the front gate is about 1/4 mile...

I bent a tooth on my BH bucket and looking for some "TIPS" on replacing it. Getting the old one off and the new one on. The tip that is on there floats and had indentions on each side that hold it on. Do I cut it off, try to slide a chisle behind it to bend the indentions out? Any tips from...

I'm planning to put in some watermellons and pumpkins this year. I'm a greenhorn at farming and I would like some advice on what I should do before I till the area. The property we purchased has not been worked in 20+ years. The area I want to plant in is covered with native grasses and we...

I ordered a down force kit for my post hole drill from TSC. I was looking in their catalog closer and it says it uses a single acting cylinder. Doing more research I see that they all (or all I could find) use a single acting cylinder and the return line is suppose to just dump into the hydro...

My wife pointed out that both of the fenders have cracks in them at the point right by the roll bar next to the seat. I guess I haven't been real observant (too busy using the tractor). When I step on and off the tractror you can see the flex in the step and fender. I took some pics and will...

Answer: When your blowing black smoke and loss of power! I took my 45DA to a friends to help fix the road and when I was almost done I started noticing that when I stepped down hard on the pedal (under load) it started throwing black smoke. I have 249 hours on the tractor and I was thinking...

My father in-law had a tool box made for me as a Christmas present and I just mounted it. (Nice Guy huh) He's had them made for 3 red tractors that are in the family (his, his wifes, and bro in-law). I'm the only one that went blue. It's going to work out well. I can still see over it to...

I currently have a 16" bucket on the BH and would like to get a smaller one say around 9" for trenching and rooting out trees. I saw a guy next door that had a bigger tractor than mine using a small bucket on it to dig up and rip the roots. I was thinking that a smaller bucket would...

Ok, I have this post hole drill and it is one pain to mount and store. Can anyone comment on how they store this thing so it's not just lying on the ground. I had it kind of tripoded up but it fell over. Was thinking of making some kind of a stand for it. Anyone have any ideas to share on...

Today I put the BH back on for the first time. I was prepared (in my mind) for it to take a while and be a pain. Man was I pleasently surprised at how easy it went back on. I backed the tractor over the BH and was bit off. Lined it up best I could and hooked up the Hyd lines, raised it up...

I bought my tractor with one rear remote. This weekend my wife and I where out on the land working I had grapple on and the box blade (top link tilt). My wife asked me why I had to keep unpluging one and plugging in the other. I explained that when I bought the tractor I didn't think I would...

Right now I'm keeping the tractor at my friends place which is 7 miles from our property. It takes a while to drive over to my place but it's a nice country dirt road drive all the way. When I drive I usually have my hands at two and ten on the steering wheel. I kept noticing that my right...

Jumped on the tractor for the 50 drive to the property and the cruise didn't work. When I parked it Sat night it worked just fine and Sunday morning no go. When I push the switch the light comes on and stays on but the pedal doesn't stay. I've done a search on the cruise control and have a...

Folks, I've scanned in the owners manual for the tractor and FEL. The tractor manual covers the TC35DA, TC40DA and TC45DA. The Loader manual covers the 16LA and 17LA FEL. If you lost yours or would like a back up electronic copy I'd be more than happy to email it to you. Please note that...

Which way do most of you have your pads when working indirt? When delivered the pads are set so the flat side is up (pointy side down) when they are set. The NH guy said that is so they bite into the dirt. I looked at the NH sales brousure and all the pics of the BH working in dirt show it...

This Sunday I got 2 hours of seat time in the new tractor. My bud needed to take down some trees to make room for some carports next to his barn so it was a perfect opertunity to try out the brush grapple. I was impressed and so was he. Made short work of moving the trees and making a nice...

Recieved the new tractor and plan to practice removing and installing the BH this weekend. When the dealer delivered it and was going through it he pointed out that the lift arm linkages were disconnected from the lift arms when the BH was installed. His reasoning was that if they were...

Just got delivered last night. Not much time to play with it but hopefully this weekend I'll get some seat time.

Can someone explain the Power Beyond kit and how it works. I was suppose to get my TC45DA delivered today with Fel, Grapple and BH. The dealer called yesterday and told me mine was the first they set up with a BH and Grapple and that the grapple wouldn't work with the BH hooked up. They had to...

Ok being the newbie I would like to know what tools do you carry on your tractor when your out working away from the barn. A BFH, cresent wrench, pliers (what type and size). I would like to start putting together the neccesary tools that I might need so I don't have to drive/hike back to the...

Hi ALL, I just found this site a week ago and have been reading all I can of the past threads. Tons of great info especially for a tractor newbie. Well after 26 years of USAF service and 3 years of corporate life my wife and I decided we needed a life change and bought 60 acres in Oklahoma...
