Hey All, I know you all love new tractor pictures even if they are red instead of blue. Attached is my new Farmall 105U getting put to work for the first time. I put 10 hours on it last weekend rolling abour 40 large bales. This is the same tractor as the NH T5060 and so far I'm really...

Hi All, I recently upgraded my farm and will be moving about 35 miles East and now have a good JD dealer close by. I'm looking to add a new tractor to help with haying (round bales) and really like the comments on the 5603. The initial quote is $41K with cab, loader, bobcat adapter, and two...

Hi All, I've read through all of the threads on non-starting Boomers and I now have one. Today, after jump starting my 2003 TC40D, I worked for about 5 minutes and the tractor just stopped. Heck, I was just at a high idle working with the FEL and she quit fast, like it was electrical. After...

Hi All, Not sure if you're getting tired of me yet, but here's some info on the new TN models. As stated before, they are now called the T4000 series and all of them now have 4 cylinder engines instead of the old 3 cylinder model. The lowest HP model is the T4020 and it has 50 PTO HP so it maps...

Hi All, I'm looking to purchase my first stock trailer now that I've been in the cattle business for two years and am up to about 60 cows. I'm looking at either a steel Titan or aluminum Barrett trailer, both of which ar 24' long. The Titan is $8,250 and the Barrett is $15,200. The sales guy...

Hi All, I just got off the phone with my local dealer and wanted to update everyone on what I found out. The new model numbers will apply to all the new NH equipment. In the TC area, the TC35->TC45 will become the T2300 series with the 2310, 2320, and 2330 models. With this move, each model...

Hi All, I'm looking at one of the new TT-A series tractors and my dealer says there isn't much dicker room on the prices. He says NH doesn't give them much room to work on these models and was wondering if we have any new owners out there as I will most likely be one soon. Doing some research...

Hi All, I'm looking at picking up a Repair Manual for my TC40D. However, I've noticed that the CD version for the TC40D is $83.33 and the CD version for the TC40DA is $333.87. Why the big difference? The paper manuals are a bit closer in price $289 vs $342, but just want to make sure I'm...

Hi All, I need to add some hydraulic fluid to my CaseIH JX85. I've used the NH134D fluid for my TC40, but after looking on the web and going to Tractor Supply to look at all their fluids, I can't seem to find the appropriate cross for the Akcela Nexplore type fluid (In my JX85 Manual). All of...

Hi All, Here's my issue: I recently purchased a 20-acre parcel that adjoins my 110 acres. A few months ago I found out who owned the property and wrote them a letter. It basically said that I would like to purchase it if they ever wanted to sell. A couple months later, they gave me a call and...

Hi All, Just wanted to let everyone know that I've diversified my tractor holdings. Case JX85 was delivered Thursday and got some seat time today. I'm both blue and red now. Here's a picture with more over on the Case board. I'm really having fun shifting again, especially with the turbo...

Hi All, I'm now both a NH and Case man. Dealer delivered my JX85 late Thursday night and I finally got to spend some time with the tractor today. Took some pics to share with everyone. Here's the tractor being delivered.

Hi All, Been researching a grapple that will work on my TC40 and JX85. Just got some quotes this morning from Anbo and Pirahna and there's quite a difference. I know the Anbo is the best one out there, but is it really worth double the price? Anyone with a Piranha grapple? Here are the prices...

Hi All, I'm getting ready to add a utility tractor to my fleet (of 1). I have more acres now and will be using the tractor primarily for haying. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger and I'm looking at a new Case JX85 and a used (100 hours) JD 5420. The JD is $2K more has very little warranty...

This is for the Sysop, I think it would be a good idea to disable replying to posts after a certain time period, maybe 60 days. We have a user now that likes to dredge up old posts after many months without adding any real value. Just my 2 cents as this does impact my enjoyment of this site...

Hi All, I'm looking at buying a 30 acre place that has an existing log home (see attached). I like the home and all, but there appears to have been some water leakage in the past (the sellers say it happened during initial building). The type of home is an Old Timers Log Home and I will...

Hi All, Well, I've been going round and round with what to do for a trailer and tow vehicle. I bought an F150 SC two years ago and really like it. However, I really need an F250/350 or so to trailer my tractor with implements. After wrestling with the option of trading in the F150 SC for a...

Meaning of \"Meine Ehre Heibt Treue?\" Hi Everyone, I need some help with an assignment that my daughter has for school. She must take a "historical artifact" to school and write a paper about it, etc. We have a German WWII bayonet that has the above words inscribed. Can anyone help with the...

Hi All, We'll after 76 hours on my TC40D, it looks like I have my first real problem. Mowed two weeks ago and checked the hydro fluid afterwards and it was really low. Added about a gallon of fluid and said to myself, Hmmm, better watch it carefully. Today, mowed for awhile and noticed that it...

Weekend \'Cabin\' Hi All, Attached is the spot where I want to build a weekend cabin. Nothing too large, maybe 1200-1400 sq/ft. Electic and water are already at the property as there is an old homesite. I want to build something that will add value to the property without spending too much...

Hi All, I called my favorite NH dealer and ask for a quote on a new TN75. He mentioned that this year's model is the TN*A series and that most everything is the same except for some body style changes. He said I should be able to get the tractor by April. I bought my TC40D last year, but...

Hi All, I'm looking at buying a newer, larger tractor for haying this year. I currently have a good NH dealer and will be looking at the TN series, probably the TN75. Given that I bought my TC40D new last year, I'm thinking of buying something a bit used, say in the last 5 years or so. (I may...

Hi All, It's a long story but I have access to a free pole barn, if I want to move it. I'm going to be putting up quite a bit of hay this year and need something for hay storage. The attached pictures are of the free barn. It is around 30x50, 14-16 high, and I say is around 15-20 years old...

Hi All, We just closed on a new 120-acre homestead today and my first order of business is to build a nice dock for the 5-acre lake. See attached. We've been looking for a nice place with a lake for some time and we finally found one. We've had quite a drought here in NW Missouri and the lake...
