    3-Point Hitch  New Holland TC29D PTO not disengaging

    I ran my rear mower for about 15 minutes and then headed to the barn as weather was coming. I set the engine RPM to 1500, stepped on the clutch and pulled back on the rear PTO lever. It seemed to come back OK. I did not hear anything from the mower and thought it had stopped turning. On the way...

    When do hydraulic hoses need replacing?

    I have a New Holland TC29d compact tractor sold new by a dealer in 1999. I have had it for 6 years. It has a total going on towards 500 hours showing, 100 of which are mine.

    Mowing  TC29D - handle a sickle bar or disk mower?

    I need to cut tall weeds and grass hay on about 10 acres couple of times a season. Can I do it with the TC29D (I mean to ask the dealer next time he's open)? Seems a sickle bar mower would do well. What's the comparison between sickle bar and disk mowers - cost, maintenance, speed? I'm a one man...

    Need ideas prepping for winter

    I am a new owner, new to tractors, new to hydraulics, and new to diesel. I have a New Holland TC29D with 400 hours. I would like to use it this winter for snow removal and I have two concerns: hydraulics and diesel (should I have others?) How should I prepare for operating in temps from 0-30...
