I have an older 621C loader with less than 5000 hrs, and big track slack on the right side. When I tried to pump grease into the expander zerk (which requires an adapter, German stuff, since the zerk is flat face), it gets to the zerk and I think some of it went in, not sure, but most just...

New forum idea I just got back on tractorbynet after a long absence; can't explain it, just neglect. In the last six months or so I have frequented the forum called forestry forum. The guy running it is no M Christi, let us say. FF deals mostly with portable sawmills, logging, and...

20060604 We're looking to construct a bldg to hold hay (and be accessed by a stack wagon--18 ft required), equipment, etc. Here are some considerations: Metal vs wood (cost, etc) Need at least 50x100, with the capability to add more space May wait to do a concrete floor, and some of the...

Trees--cut with \'Limminator or \'Terminator? 20060601 I searched and found some of you mentioned knowing someone who uses one of those with a Skid Steer or hefty tractor to cut small to medium trees. I've got a whole hillside of sight path to cut, mostly small cedars and playing Chainsaw...

20060323 Need something to clean up brambles, broom sage, etc, on around 40-50 acres. I ran my 7 foot 1287 Bush Hog to death last fall, and did not nearly finish. Gotta give the hay a break. And my farm mgr BIL says a Batwing like his JD 1518 (older version of the HX-15) will really follow...

20060303 I searched using "B3030 cab" and found little. My wife and I have been using our BX-2200 (new 11/01) for mowing and, since buying our farm, hay raking with a 258 NH. No cab has meant a mess on hot days, compared to my NH cab-equipped ag tractor. Since Anne hates my big fellow, she...

20060208 Has anyone used these for pothole repairs? I am told via info here and elsewhere that we need to build up and roll our potholes in layers to achieve lasting repairs. Will a SSL style attachment do it or will it require a real piece of dedicated equipment? Ive heard some negative...

20051128 Has anyone owned one of these on here? If so did yours have electric tie and/or any other bells and whistles? I'd like to add Electric tie and perhaps netwrap to the used one I just agreed to buy and wondered if any of that is practical after the fact? Case 8420 and more Hey...

20051004 Has anyone on this forum done this? I'm not sure the mfr makes rear wheel wts for my TN90F. It seems so simple, but I struck out at Tractor Supply and Messick has only a third party solution that's not cheap. Thanks, J

20050923 Has anyone had experience with any of these? I bought a thatch rake and leaf pusher with my Exmark XP. Not good so far, the rake lost some bolts and got all bent up (very light metal, really ) Thanks! Jim

20050923 I have a 14K# Pequea gooseneck trailer with beavertail, etc, for toy toting. It has a double Bulldog jack with the usual crank. Which is what it makes out of me on a hot day when I have to turn it, esp if there is wt on the trailer (I try to avoid!). Does anyone know of a good...

20050921 We trying out a New Holland model 1033 automatic "Hayliner" stackwagon, capacity 104 square bales. Little problem--our barn's door is not compatible. Do those things get heavy when the unloading is by hand! More to come, Jim Mt Burgha on the Rivanna in VA

20050906 I'm having problems with the fuel tanks and gauge on my NH TN90F (80 HP orchard/vineyard) machine. I posted under "Parts/Repairs". If you can help me, I'd sure appreciate your taking a look there under this same subject heading. Thanks! Jim Mt Burgha on the Rivanna in VA

20050906 Does anyone know how to determine the age of an implement from the serial #? I bought a 258 rake from a guy who told me it was 4-5 years old. The sn is 860894. It is marked "Ford New Holland", which I have not seen on NH equipment since the mid-90s at least, so I doubt the age (and...

20050906 Those 2 products were recently mentioned (by Junkman, IIRC) so I went looking for them. Web sites had phone numbers but no dealer info. Aqua Seal sells direct mostly. About $300 to do each of my tires (16.9x28, metric 420/70-28). HydroSeal has dealers and boasted of being...

20050906 [NH model TN90F, orchard/vineyard machine with Iveco c.240 ci engine] Does anyone have an idea why for the last several mos I cannot get my almost 14 gal diesel tank to go more than 5-7 gals before the gauge shows MT? I know there are 2 (connected) fuel tanks, one in front of the...

20050831 I'm finally going to add wt to my TN90F narrow tractor tires. Those hills on our place are scaring me. Is it OK to use the new Propylene glycol instead of methanol for the antifreeze? My wife & I have pets and would like to avoid the toxic stuff. Also, has anyone been told that...

20050409 Someone is advertising locally to sell a set of BX2200 footwear(ware? ) with turfs for $215, complete. I have no idea and it's Saturday, no dealer. Since I have bad luck with flats, it may be a good way to get going fast after one, or it may be a waste, who knows. The rears are...

20050223 Can anyone give me the particulars on charging the battery bank on one of these--2 big batteries in series? Mine has sat too long and needs a boost. Not totally dead since the lights come on, but when I try to crank, they dim and she won't go over. Sprayed silicone on the somewhat...

20050210 Can some of you 6x4 owners out there help me with 2 aggravating problems with my old reptile? I did a search and found nothing prior. Some facts: 1996 model (bought used 2003), Kawasaki 18 hp engine, c.1850 hrs, bed lift, new belt and some elec repairs last year (mainly the igition...

20050103 Has anyone changed out the bench seat in their RTV, Mule or other UV so equipped, for buckets? Can you cite sources, cost, etc, for same? That is a sticking point for deciding on which one we like--bench seats are not our fav. Thanks! Jim

20050103 Got a buying decision to make, soon. My bobcat dealer is running behind on closing our main deal so I have some time to hear from this helpful group if you'll comment. I've got an older Gator 6x4, so this is not totally new, but things sure have improved since that thing was built...

20040701 Hello, from long gone Jim in VA, If Mark Chalkley is on here or if anyone recalls how to find it, I am trying to find where Mark laid out his suggested set of chain lengths for general use with our beloved tractors (and my beloved Bobcats 430 and A300, along with some tractors). I...

20020708 The MACI construction eq auction hits Richmond again this week (Oh, Mister Chalkley, it's not that far awaaaaay...come wiiiiiith uuuuusssss...). Not on the scale of a Kissimmee or similar, but lots of lots (usually serveral hundred), diesel smoke, noise, men acting like...well you get...

20020529 I am trying to hook up my new electric sprayer to my BX-2200. It needs 7 amps at 12VDC. I just found a live wire under the seat while fishing around for where to home-run a new one. It is red, and I have attached a picture (wheee!) to illustrate. Could anyone comfort me that this...

20020303 I would love to know if anyone knows anything about this new 'Cat. Local dealer loaned me one and wow, who needs a tractor! Jim

1/6 Been away so long! Look what I played with on New Years Day! A rental from Sunbelt and soooo small (1800#). Hey Del, wannnaaaa drag? J

12/3 Running down the road yesterday, I saw this Goossen vac cart unit, marked model RK1. Does anyone recognize it/know anything about it? I did write to Goossen so they may respond, too. Picture attached! Thanks, J

12/1 I'm a little disappointed that no one chimed in on my post about excavators, but I guess most of you just don't deal with them. Let me try one more related theme. How big a truck (dump size) do I need to haul such a creature? The combined trailer & load would be about 25,000#. It is...

11/15 Now WHO is this hanging out at Tanglewood Ordinary, home of New Blue & Jim. It's not Jim or his tractor (for those who cannot tell us apart ]... J

11/6 Hey, Del and everyone, What do you think, 2341 hours, EPA legal, over 17,000#, digs over 13 ft with some real ummph, etc? Cat dealer rep offered to check it out overall on site for free, or bring it into the shop for a real going over at a charge. They ran the vin and verified its...

11/5 I think this server doesn't understand macs, had to remove all spaces from the file name! This is New Blue b4 Alo, last summer. J Wheeeee! It worked! I will try to make the next ones smaller, unlike the 200k file above. <P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1>Edited by jgh on 11/5/00 02:39...

9/7 Anybody hoist his bush (brush) hog or other rotating PTO impl so high that the PTO and the impl deck came into conflict? Or am I the only idiot on this list? You have never seen such a sight--chains of the guard flying off to the yard, big chunk out of the shaft cover. Too painful to...

9/7 [I have been on vacation since last wk so if I am behind on anything related to this, I will catch up after posting]. TerraBond's Mike Grotefend is loaning a Road Boss (now called Spreader Grader) to my New Holland dealer so I can demo it here at our property. It is a 6 ft (non-hydraulic)...

Case backhoe 580B \"Construction King\" 8/23 Well, instead of putting a hangon backhoe on my tractor, I am looking at a Case 580B which is marked "Construction King" Based on the serial #s (different ones on different parts--could be a made-up machine), one of which is 5227672, it is about a...

8/17 I just heard from a dealer service man today that some owners have reported Boomers jumping out of low range into neutral without explanation. Apparently this was just reported to New Holland and they are analyzing it. I cannot think of why this might not happen on the way down a hill...

8/15 Hi all you Lubeheads, how about taking a look at my post in the "in the shop" area for Ag tractors. Notice I did NOT say "all you greaseballs", nooooo! Thanks! Jim

8/15 Well, Bird, here is where I tell you why I asked about Kubota UDT hydraulic oil. I experienced an odd Power Shuttle transmission failure on my <font color=blue>TN90F New Holland</font color=blue> over the weekend. Panic when she wouldn't go fwd, and only back sometimes. Though I had had...

2000-07-15 I'm shopping for a four in one to go on my Alo/Quicke loader (Q920). During that process I have learned some interesting things. Bradco makes one designed for the rough tough Skid steer world. List around $2300 for a 6 ft bucket. Heavy metal construction, intelligent hose...

2000-06-09 Finally our new tractor is on its way from MI. A moving van is bringing it to our dealer on backhaul. Now for the loader. With its compact size and supersteer front axle, options seem to be limited to the Quicke and Woods line. From the sales puff so far, Quicke seems to be a...

2000-05-15 First let me say thanks to all that have replied to my post about comparing NH & JD utility models. Still working on the decision and further comments are really welcome. Can anyone comment on the difference between Mechanical self leveling and Hydraulic self leveling in a loader...

2000-05-10 Has anyone here any experience with these folks? I just saw a 4400 JD with one of their cabs installed. It looked better than average. Jim

2000-05-06 I hope the utility machines are close enough to Ag to merit comment in this forum. My wife and I have burned up the road looking at our next tractor candidates. We want more implement capacity for additional land, both present and contemplated. Right now we are concentrating on...

2000-04-25 Does anyone know how NH dealer cost works? From what I have learned, it is not as simple as JD, since there are holdbacks just like on autos, etc. My observation so far, about 80+% of list, a bit more than JD. Can anyone shed more light? Does it vary from one model line (say...

2000-04-25 I have been told by a JD dealer that 2/3 of list is dealer cost, with some small variations on price leaders like the 790 and some utility tractors (5105, 5205) NH pricing is evidently more complex, running around 80% of list after holdbacks are considered. Can anyone substantiate...
