Thanks a bunch. This guidance will help me alot when I finally dig into the machine this week.

The D100 is a nice machine. Thanks for the lead.

Any idea where the solenoid valve might be located on the machine? I can’t find a solenoid valve listed anywhere in the parts manual for this unit.

I just purchased a Boxer 525dx mini-skid steer with 950 hours that has a hi/low switch that needs to be set in the “hi” position for increased ground speed when traveling, or for maximizing flow to a trencher or auger. The hi/low switch summary from the operator’s manual is attached. The...

Would like to buy a hydraulic hose crimp tool for occasional use in my equipment barn. Any advice regarding brands, features, etc.? Do the manually operated “no-name” units in the $800 range work well enough?

Thanks so much for all the detail, especially the photos. Super clean OEM-style look.

Need to add rear remotes to my Kubota L3130. There is no loader or back hoe on the tractor, and likely never will be. The two pages of the Operator’s Manual that I have attached below say that I should be able to plug my hoses into the hydro block underneath the right footrest by simply...

I have a small NH 105A tiller. I'd like to know the fill level for the case on the side of tiller that houses the chain and sprockets that turn the tine shaft. The plug at the top of the chain/sprocket cover has a description that implies that the cover should be filled to within 3/8" of the...

Looking for help to reinstall the chain tensioner arm and spring on a 40" NH 105A tiller. The arm and spring were removed to replace a broken spring, but I am not 100% sure how to reinstall the the assembly correctly. A photo of what the reassembled arm and spring look like would be perfect...

My TN75VA stops running or won't rev past minimum after operating normally for a period (e.g., 30 minutes). Often, just before the engine quits altogether, it suddenly drops rpm to bare minimum and won't respond to movements of the throttle. Then, after the engine dies and won't restart, we...

I am looking to process/dispose of prunings in place from 20 acres of grapevines. One option is a specialized flail mower/mulcher designed to pulverize prunings while mowing a permanent cover crop between the vine rows. As another possible option, I'd like to experiment with a...

I'd appreciate a pm from anyone who knows of someone in the West Sonoma County area who can perform routine servicing of my tractors, and diagnose problems when they come up, on site. It is difficult for me to transport them from the property to the shop and back everytime they need something...

Does anyone have first hand experience with the following adjustable width (5'-6') tandem disc: TANDEM DISKS | VT THREE-POINT PIN ADJUST NON-REVERSIBLE TANDEM VINEYARD DISK or Gearmore - Tandem Disc 3-Pt. GV Narrow Row Series - Tandem Disc 3-Pt. GV Narrow Row Series The Gearmore unit...

Anyone know of a cost effective substitute for the OEM rear shock absorbers on a 2510? I have a hunch that there any number of ATV or motorcycle shocks whose dimensions, travel, dampening rate and bolt holes are close enough to work just fine on a 2510. The OEM units are $120 each, which seem a...

Looking for a used transmission for a 4WD New Holland TC 18. Feel free to private message me.

My small tractor (NH TC18) recently had a transmission gear failure that unfortunately also caused the transmission case to crack. The rest of the tractor is perfectly fine. Does anyone know of a source of salvage tractor parts where I might be able to eventually find a used transmission...

I need to replace the driver's side rear axle bearing on my well used Kawasaki Mule 2510 4x4. If I am reading the repair manual correctly, it looks as if I have to detach the rear leaf springs and brake lines and drop the axle bracket so that the axles can be separated from the drive shafts and...

I have a TC18 with damaged transmission gears and a cracked transmission case. The rest of the tractor is perfectly fine. Anyone know where I might find a TC18 in salvage or being parted out?

I have a MTD commercial grade ZTR with 25HP Kohler Command engine and 60" deck. The drive belt from the PTO clutch to the deck broke. It thought that the belt that broke was a standard A-type belt, but the replacement A-type belt that I purchased rides pretty low in the clutch pulley. Should...

I hope to obtain a service manual soon, but in the meantime, I'm curious whether anyone has experience repairing the PTO on 10 year old (approximately) TC18 boomer. I was operating a small rototiller with it the other day and all of the sudden the PTO stopped turning the tiller. In lift...

I have a MTD Pro ZTR with a 25 HP Kohler Command V-Twin. The engine (Model CV25S) is supposed to have a 2 quart oil capacity. When I change oil though (including filter), I only seem to get about 1 and 1/4 quarts out and back in, even after warming the thing up so everything drains well. When...

I understand that my 25 HP Kohler Command V-Twin (Model CV25S) is supposed to have a 2 quart oil capacity. When I change oil though (including filter), I only seem to get about 1 and 1/4 quarts out and back in. I even warm the thing up before I do the change, so everything drains well. When...

Posted this in the Cub Cadet forum as well: I have a MTD Pro ZTR with 25 HP Kohler Command V-Twin. The Kohler oil filter number for this power plant is 12-050-01S (which apparently replaces the original 12-050-08). Where can I go to cross reference the Kohler filter with something (e.g., Fram)...

When I use a 12v sprayer on my TC-18, the battery drains after awhile (e.g., after an hour or two) even when I maintain an engine speed of 1,500 to 2,000, or more. The sprayer pump is a 2 gpm, 60 psi, model, that is supposed to draw 7 amps. The wires to the spayer are attached to the tractor's...

In another thread, I mention that I would like to disc vine rows with a small compact (NH TC15). My ideal working with for the disc is 54". Most manufacturers make their tandem discs in either 48" or 60" working widths. I have found one make/model, however, in a 54" width, but it is an offset...

Before I buy a disc for my NH TC15, I'd like to know if it will do a decent job keeping weeds at bay over relatively soft, disturbed (i.e., ripped, tilled, etc.) ground. I've only used discs that were larger and heavier, so I'm curious if a light weight one will make a dent at all. If so, any...

I have a TC45DA with hydro and filled wheels. What is the maximize size single blade subsoiler my tractor can reasonably handle? Any advice regarding makes/models?

I didn't have experience with implements until I bought my place a few years back. The property purchase was unique in the sense that I took over a place "as is" that had been in the same family for 100 years. Alot of old gadgets and parts are still laying around here and there because I have...

Half of my 50 acre place is a mixed oak/conifer woodland. Little maintanence has been performed in the woodland for 20 years. I also have a few acres of clearing to do soon. There are dead, dying or soon to be cleared trees of every size (up to 24" or more), with branches that can often...

I'm only familiar with old and new blue model numbers and specs. I'm in the market for a 10 year old or newer 4WD compact with a width no more than 48-50". Will use it mostly to mow (4' cutter max), and lightly disc/harrow (weed control on soft ground). I plan to sell it in a few years. What...

Sometimes, impulse gets the best of you. I am about to place an order for the attached, sight unseen: King Kutter Incorporated It's a tandem wheel, 3,000 pd GVW dump trailer with a 50" x 70" bed and a hand operated hydraulic lift. It is designed for off road use only. As it turns out, I...

I am looking at a low (100) hours, 4 year old, gear model TC18 without power steering. Looks almost new. Comes with a 4' brush hog and a 40" NH tiller. No FEL. My dealer, who sold the machine originally, is selling it for the customer. Would $8,000 be a favorable deal, especially if my...

I need a 4' wide three point disc attachment to work between some vine rows. I'd love to find a reasonably priced used one, but I have never found a decent source for used equipment in Northern California. Does anyone know of a source I should check? Also, I was allowed to demo a new one...

Some manufacturers, like New Holland, SAME, Landini and Yanmar make smaller crawler tractors for agricultural use. I love to hear from anyone who knows what any of the makes/models on the small end of the scale (e.g., 75HP) cost new. Thanks.

Does anyone know the suggested list price for a new TK75VA, the smallest unit in the TK crawler line? From what I understand, the various crawler models come equipped pretty much as is, so the price doesn't fluctuate much due to available options. Thanks.

Anyone have experience with this machine? It is one option I am considering to maintain a 15 vineyard. Spraying, mowing and discing are the main chores. About 15% of the vineyard is moderately to significantly sloped.

Looking for a cost-effective private or public source. The material will be spread as a mulch with a straw blower, so grade/quality isn't an issue. Looking for approximately 400 bales. Private messages are fine. Thanks.

Although I have had my NH TC45DA for a few years now, I have used it mostly for construction type work, and to brush hog. Now I am facing seeding a cover crop (a mixture of fescue, clover and brome) over an 8 acre area, which will be covered with 3" of staw, all for erosion control purposes. I...

I am trying to understand the details and consequences of installing a P'TO driven hydraulic pump on my NH TC45DA. The tractor has a skid steer style quick attach for the FEL bucket, and I like the idea of being able to run skid steer attachments like an auger, trencher or post driver. The 9...

I have a NH TC45DA with 758C BH. I need to drill a great many fence post holes on my 45 acre place. Working conditions in some places will be a little tight (i.e., near or in between trees) and not particularly level. My experience with digging around the property suggests that I will not...

I have several acres of pure grassland (i.e., former hay/oat field) that I need to maintain. I hired someone last year to brush hog it, but I was not that thrilled with the closeness or consistency of the cut. Now that I am poised to do my own mowing (I bought a new tractor recently), I was...

It is amazing what a little seat time on the user friendly TC45DA has done for my wife's attitude regarding implements. She likes the new pet so much that she insists we spring for a flail mower, rather than the less expensive rotary cutter that I have been suggesting from the start. I have no...

My wife has had such a good time operating the new TC45DA that all resistance to purchasing a backhoe has evaporated. Wasting no time, I intend to visit my trusty dealer to discuss the backhoe purchase. I have read enough over the past few months to be convinced that OEM subframe mount units...

It\'s Here and I\'m Smiling The TC45DA has arrived and is already making itself at home. It is proving to be just right set up thanks to all of the sage advice that the nice folks here were kind enough to provide. What a great discovery this forum has turned out to be. Now the real work...

I love the new machine (pics to come shortly), but the hydro speed range lever often resists going from Neutral to either the low (i.e., "I") or high (i.e., "II") range positions. When it does act stubborn, I depress either hydro pedal momentarily while the lever is in Neutral, and then it...

Where is a good source for ordering a canvas or other soft cover for my Class III CUT? My three sided equipment barn does a good job of keeping the thing dry, but it can get rather dusty between uses (I know, more seat time is the cure, but that's not going to happen anyime soon). My dealer...

I have the quck attach option on my 16LA loader (i.e., making it compatible with skid steer attachments/buckets). I was set to purchase and install a 72" tooth bar on my bucket when it occurred to me that a second smaller bucket with tooth edge might be much more effective and easy to use in...

While my new TC45DA with 16LA loader sits poised for delivery to me (yes, it's killing me), I am supposed to decide whether to have my trusty dealer install the quick attach option to the loader, which will allow it accept standard skid steer attachments. Although I will have use for pallet...

My NH dealer, who is giving me a great price on a new TC45DA, is quoting me $1,500 for a Rhino SE-6 brush hog and $1,300 for a Rhino SPHD post hold digger. I have a hunch that I can do no worse, and possibly better, price wise if I shop around. Obviously, it will be more convenient for me if...

We all learn best from doing, and I will be at the controls quite soon, but does anyone know of any books, articles or videos that demonstrate how best to use a box scraper and loader to accomplish light grading tasks? I am sure it seems simple and entirely common sense to anyone who has done a...

After lots of TBN help and a few trips to the local Kubota dealer, I went as far as I could to purchase a L4330HST with 853 loader before it became clear that the dealer wasn't keen on meeting by price expectations (which were not overly aggressive really). I had visited the local NH dealer...

I was talking to a dealer the other day who discovered recently that a Japanese gentlemen (and his companions) checking out the showroom late one afternoon was actually a high executive (he said President) of Yanmar. It is the dealer's view that after JD completes its phase out of Yanmar...

Here in California, it seems that a majority of the tractor dealers get their implements from Gearmore. I have been quoted prices for a standard duty 6' rotary cutter (with slip clutch, 6" I beam side plates and 10 gauge deck) and a standard duty 6' manual box scraper (with 3/8" thick side...

I plan to install a tooth bar on the 72" bucket of the new L4330 with FEL that I am ordering. The proposed uses for the tractor include typical estate maintenance chores, not frequent grading or other commercial landscape use. My question is, will the larger capacity "light materials" bucket...

I plan to order my new tractor with three remote valves, two for the top and tilt, and one to accommodate future (rear or front) implements that require hydraulics. These valves are in addition to the four-way joystick SCV that will control the FEL. As it turns out, I have the option of...

I am trying to arrange a purchase of a Kub L3430HST or L4330HST with some implements, including a rotary cutter and box scraper. The dealer is reputable, but I would prefer not to rely solely on him to select the right make/models for the implements to be included in the deal. I have no...

With no prior mowing experience (except "bi-ped" powered mowing), I am trying to figure out whether to pay extra for a flail mower or go with a good quality rotary when I purchase my new tractor (which will be a Kubota Grand L). I have 8-10 acres of native grass to deal with (probably at least...

I am making a run at a Grand L from a local dealer that I like and I am leaning toward asking him to add top 'n tilt to the proposed purchase. This is my first tractor ever, so I can't say I know everything about the installation details, but I know what additional SCVs are, what a few quick...

If I had any experience with FELs I could easily answer this on my own, but I would like to factor the relevant information into my buying decision. On the bigger FELs, total bucket movement seems to be in the 85 to 88 degree range. How they're split between roll back and dump functions...

While I obsess over the green, orange or blue decision, perhaps a few good folks on TBN can help me keep my sanity by clarifying the functional difference, if any, between the 4WD available on the Deere and Kubota CUTs and the FWD available on the TCxxDAs. With lots of terrain and wet winters...

Sorry for the confusion and inconvenience, but I just finished posting a thread in the "general" forum that was probably better suited for this one. If you have any thoughts, perhaps you could share them in the original thread in the other forum. My apologies.

First of all, thanks to all who provided comments in response to my post a few weeks back about looking for a used CUT in Northern Cal. As many you of pointed out, the pickings are slim and the pricing is close to the worst anywhere. That said, I've been offered a well-maintained JD 970 with...

Just discovered TBN. From the browsing I've done over the past few months, it seems like the best place around for CUT info. I'm anxious to purchase a machine to tidy up an old 32 acre ranch in Sonoma County, California. Half the property is wooded and half is plantable (mostly hay...
