I now have 1150 hours on my TC45DA SuperSteer. The power steering fluid has never been changed, so I know I need to do that now. When I asked for a filter at the local NH dealer, the salesperson said they don't carry it, and only have ordered one every few years. I take that to mean that their...

This is the first day of deer season in Vermont, and it is raining. But, the first snow storm is likely to occur soon. I now have electrified my 3-point hitch, 74" Buhler Allied snowblower. At least for now, I am retaining the hand crank, but I may do a more elegant modification in the future...

Three to four times over the last couple of months I have been confounded by the 3-point hitch on my NH TC45DA not lowering. This has not happened with an impliment on, but rather when I am in the process of changing impliments. The last time I was taking off the KKII tiller and putting on a log...

Who owns or can otherwise comment on Modern Agriculture's rotary cutters. I am specifically interested in their 6' models, either the Competitor or the Super Sunshine? Both models are the same size/shape, and have heavy duty 7 guage decks and side rails. The Super Sunshine has a 65 HP rated...

My TC45DA SuperSteer just hit 600 hours. I had the tractor serviced by the NH dealer that sold it to me at approximately 200 hours, the first one it needed after I purchased it ( it was used with 149 hours/still in warranty). Basically, they changed the oil and filters, and greased it...

I am curious about how others maintain their PTO implement slip clutches. I have a Bondioli 2-disc adjustable slip clutch that is about 2 years old. I wanted to make sure that the clutch wasn稚 吐rozen before I used it so I took it apart. I found about ｽ of the metal surfaces to be pristine, like...

I will be purchasing a bush hog type rotary cutter sometime between now and next spring. By my own acknowledgement, I have overspent our reasonable implement budget for 2009, but if I found the right rotary cutter this fall at a good price, I probably could still be persuaded. Rough cut is what...

I have been looking for a 6 ft King Kutter rotary tiller to turn my garden over and plant some winter rye. Those dealers that I have contacted locally said they wouldn't have any more until spring. So, when I saw the following auction ad I decided to go: Auction Date: Sunday, August 23, 2009...

I am considering buying a rock bucket for my NH TC45 to deal with the rocks and stones in my garden, and am looking for advice and experience on selecting one. My local NH dealer is selling Vernig Rock Buckets for about $1000. They come in several sizes, and look very well built. On the internet...

Today I was talking with my local NH salesman about trade-in values versus new tractors. He said that until fairly recently a used low-hour tractor would sell for 10-15% less that the same new one. Now, the discount is about 30%. The reason is that one can buy a new tractor at 0% and the monthly...

I have a 2006 TC45DA and have had problems with the parking brake letting go from the first days that I owned it. It had 190 hours when purchased, but had only been used to pull an orchard wagon. It now has about 550 hours. I am very familiar with all the tricks of trying to get it to set, but...

I have a 2006 New Holland Boomer 45DA with about 560 hours. It was purchased slightly used (190 hours); it had only been used to pull a wagon in an orchard. Soon after getting it I noticed that the parking brake frequently released when stepping on the step on the brake side. Now, the parking...

I feel a little silly asking this question, but before I do the same with my local tractor provider I thought I should ask if you could help educate me. Recently, I purchased a Woods BH 90-X backhoe from my local New Holland dealer. All kinds of bolts fell off the first few times I used it. So...

I am looking to buy a backhoe for my NH TC45DA and find that the Woods BH90-X has the best specs. I have an installed price from one local dealer of $8700 with 18" bucket, subframe and mechanical thumb. Is that a reasonable price or should I continue to shop? Has anyone compared this backhoe to...
