Hey all. This has happened again. Unfortunately the machinist forgot to make the couplers longer. Unsure how many hours it lasted, running pto stuff doesn't appear cause damage, but I could hear the screechy noise in 3rd, so I just avoided that gear. Unfortunately, the slightly lower pitched...

Heya, I need some advice on clearances for fabbing up some parts to repair my 80s Antonio Carraro Tigre 2700. TLDR : I think the engine-to-tranny shaft is too short (bad repair? looks welded) and the couplers wear out because they're only working with ~1cm (less when the tractor flexes)...

And we have a winner

Yes still a good upgrade for almost no money at all! I've only done a quick run around but it defeats most hills just fine! The steering is Broa assisted though.... Harder to make tight corners than the small tractor as the circle is a bit wider, but I'll get used to it. One obvious thing is how...

Actually should I make another thread for posting about the tractor or questions? This one's fulfilled. Might help someone looking to buy one of these since there's hardly any info. What'd be the right section?

It's a Ruggerini RD220. Couldn't find info on it but found a slightly smaller RD211 rated at 17Kw, so I suppose it's just short of 25hp. http://www.lombardini.no/ruggerini/Datablad/RD_211_uk.pdf I also just found it might actually have two PTO speeds :unsure: or maybe it's an option not sure...

Ahah thanks, toy is not far fetched either :D I haven't, but I'll have a look at it to double check, I thought the papers would be accurate.

Well, here it is!! It's actually 16.5Kw on the documents, just over 22, not 26 or 27 or 28!! I still wonder where from and why people pull these inflated figures, up to 25% more for compacts I've found. Regardless it's still a good improvement for me % wise. 5000 euros delivered with a 120cm...

Well, after a couple failed negotiation attempts where dealer refused to budge, managed to get a barely used rotary cutter thrown in the for the 5k, without buyback. I didn't want to float the money, but can't bear trading it in for 3k. Annoyingly, I need to go down there again for payment and...

Well I'm back from the visit. I'm...a bit unsure. It was alright but not love at first sight kind of thing. It started on the button, clean engine, no big crashes, but it's a bit dated and felt a bit sloppy/stuck accelerator wise, probably just needs a refresh. The width is 110cm, perfect, and...

Many thanks! That definitely Thanks for the help searching and for the assurance, that's good to hear! I'll make sure to ask about the rops, I had been meaning to weld one up for my current one but was told it needs to be certified (does make sense, otherwise I could do a bamboo one).

Thanks, that's what I found too...7hp is a big % for these, seller actually said 28 dunno where I got 27 from. But good point the docs will have the rating. If 20hp not sure if it's a valuable upgrade, I know my op was even less, but it's supposedly much heavier, and for the extra price it...

Errrr, by the way. I'm going to see the tractor tomorrow, but I really can't find any specs for this model, and I don't know if I should trust the dealers "27hp" number, considering carraro don't seem to follow the "hp in model number" thing, and that many tractors I've seen are inflated 5-15...

Yeah if loaded and I press the go pedal smog ensues, but good tip.

Thanks for the advice guys :)

Well after taking note of everything I decided against this, the 100cc and kgs didn't justify the change. I was also advised parts are really hard to find for Hinomotos (I guess there's a lot less in classifieds compared to others). As most 5k tractors in the 25hp range tend to be a bit wider...

To use on my property, not really, I'll try get the butt feeling on the seller's property, hopefully it'll have an uphill stretch, the guy was busy this weekend, so postponed the viewing :cautious:. I've heard many ppl say about demoing. but any private sellers I've met won't really let you run...

That's also something a bit worrying, they're mostly the same tractor, but I know mine works 90% fine and doesn't have any issues...

Thanks I'll check it out

Yep both are geared. Discussing how much you can feel 3hp, currently, my tractor can *just about* not do some things, like keeping 3rd going uphill, 2 to 3rd is half or less the speed, sure we're not getting anywhere in a rush, but it's frustrating. E.g. in one of the 1km stretches it keep 3rd...

Also, looking at this. I figure people mounting blades strictly to the bumper are 100% asking for trouble?

I see, thanks for the links it's helpful. This would also serve as well distributed ballast ahahah. I wonder if it'd drain too much power, considering the size of my tractor, it'd be what, 100kg all in? Not too much. This is definitely the way to go, it looks it can also serve as a 3pt if the...

Right, this was what I was thinking might happen with the style 1. For style 2 I had been thinking about mounting directly to the frame a bit behind the front, but didn't think to go that far back, it does make sense. Looks like this needs more consideration... Now that I'm thinking, it could...

Unlikely, mine has documents (desirable, adds 500-1k to the value), and if I take away the things that came with it for 4.5k (1T trailer with plates, tiller which is probs too big for it, I never used it, 100l sprayer), it probably cost 3k, so I'd be able to sell it for the same if not more than...

Yep, I can only find 3 in the country, the closest is 1h away and the one that supposedly has the remotes, plan to view it and give it a go this weekend. Only weird thing is it looks like the tiller is counter on the lift arms the lower link, not sure if it's equipped with non standard 3pt, but...

Part II I am also unsure about the size of the metal to use. I thought to use the same width and thickness as the rear 3pt arms, but now that I'm near the metal warehouse, I'm quite far away from the tractor (and vice versa), so I find it hard to visualize what to use. From the Style 1 pics...

Hey all, I built a small angle iron frame to put a toolbox/bag on top of the weights, but after I was done with it, I realized what I really wanted was a front dozer blade to push stuff or earth around after dump it or scarify. For this I'm not sure if it's best to build single purpose long...

That's not what she said :D

Indeed, currently the ratios between the gears in high range is too wide, 3rd is fine, but 2nd feels like it should be first, and first is about the same a 3rd low iirc. Sometimes it's hard to select the right one. The remotes also interest me, as I plan do get some implements that will require...

Hey all, I have a Hinomoto C144 (the plaque says 17hp, but i've been told it's 14 at pto or drawbar, name suggests it too (C 14hp 4whd). It's the same as the Massey 1010. I'm considering trading it for a C174 (same as Massey 1020 *I think*). This is mostly for tight vineyard work, with a max...

Well I can't disagree with that or the usefulness, on my uneven ground it's always a bit of a chore (un)hooking up the trailer. But do you do this purely for "moving it out of the way", or for any actually distance or loaded trailing?

Hey all, I'm going to build a 3pt cross/drawbar to leave on the tractor when nothing else is on for lifting/pushing/pulling small stuff around. While searching for ideas, I've come across ones with clevis for skidding logs (I've already read about the dangers of that) and trailer hitches...

Ahah I have seen those, I'm in the region too. Also when shopping around they're usually parked at very weird angles like this one I was persuaded against it (albeit not by user), and they looked huge/wide compared to mine, but the maneuverability and safety probably makes up for it. Paved...

Yep very steep indeed! Max lift capacity is according to info I've found 550kg, 85% of tractor weight.....so I guess it can LIFT, not sure for how long 😆 Still, I'm interested in how much wheels would help stabilize stuff on the 3pt, be it the sprayer or a box worth of rock or fertilizer. Btw...

Hey guys, I have a Hinomoto C144 (650kg 17hp) for generic and vineyard use. It's very hilly as it's in a valley. I currently use a 100l sprayer with 100m of hose, the tractor can carry it fine, although I've had a bit of air in sloped turns when I ran 50m, after upgrading I don't really need...
