A Grey Area

Thus far, I am pretty much set on the idea that with conditions permiting and utilizing the backhoe if need be, I can use a full subframe on this HIN2804 thingy, and dig to down town.
And that at 35 hp, I might see it meet its match at times sure, but be able to muscle through most small jobs. /forums/images/graemlins/crazy.gif

How do I change the setting so that I recieve seperate emails for each reply to posts ?
I dont see it in the options and I remember makeing the choice to recieve a daily instead when I signed up.

"Tractor Loader Backhoe is different than a compact tractor that has had a loader and backhoe added to it. Take a close look at a true TLB, everything is built heavier and stronger. "

I am really not sure I follow this.
Maybe if you used specific makes and models, I can understand better what a true tractor backhoe loader is and what the alternative is.

I have a Hinimoto 2604 with a factory installed front loader. It has a full subframe (not attached to the middle of the tractor).I live in the mountains and leveled the side of a hill for my new house. It did a great job but was no speed demon. I was aware of Brent's troubles with Hinomotos and loaders so I was extremely careful only scooping the dirt in layers and not trying to dig. I also used a boxblade in the tough places. I'm still using this tractor 6 years later with no troubles.

I am really hoping to hear more about what this thing can do. I hope I can get some of you to share images and stories. I also think its best because I am new and all that I limit my posting all over. So, stop back in here and visit with me from time to time and watch my story unfold. A dealer told me he wanted me to give him two weeks to comprise a full subframe and test it for this tractor I want. Is it accurate for me to call it a TLB ? I am still a little unsure of what is what.
The part about a box blade in tough places.. what are you talking about exactly ?
I thought a box blade was for finish work like leveling loose earth or new dirt. Do you have a backhoe attatched while you are scooping ?

I finally found this.. http://www.tractorbynet.com/articles/02jd110.htm
I am sure it is way out of my price range though.

The box blade has scarifiers that can be lowered and cuts grooves in the soil thus loosening it up.

Here is what I bought. 1999 Allmand Bros TLB35D 4X4 Lets just say, dirt cheap. Now where can I go to discuss it ?
It already needs a new ground strap for the engine block.
And I am having to retorque the backhoe bolts. Weird ?
All and all man, I think it was a good deal. This thing's FEL does not bend, flex, creek, or buckle. It just digs. The BH will need be more thoughly tested after I drop the fuel tank and tighten them 5/8 bolts. I know I am out of the Farm tractor or cut club, but if anyone has any questions about this, I would be more then happy to reply.
Thanks for all the chat fellas.

looks like a rental unit to me.

yup ! 1700+ hrs, it has seen hard times. Today I replaced the grade 5 bolts that seem stretched with grade 8 bolts that hold the backhoe onto the frame. Then, I ran over some dead trees and ripped out a few in the wooded lot behind my house for the 30 mins I had left in the day to play. What a little power house this thing is. It'l still take more knickels and dimes out of my pocket to make it like I want it, but you'd be happy too if I rented it to you as it is right now. I didnt think of it before but there are alot of dead trees that make the lot unsafe for my children to walk through. When I am done messing around back there they ought to have a real nice area to play and romp around through. /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif I am glad I didnt buy the wrong piece, thanks to this forum, I made the right choice getting a commercial grade BL and not a farm tractor. I will miss the speed and power of the other though because this one has one slow speed and it will suck waiting to get where the work is. And it doesnt want to steer good in the rough either. The 4wheel option does less to get moving then the 2wheel drive mode does. One of the front wheels will always slip and spin. Whats up with that, I figured it would be more a posi then a slip diff effect but hydro static drive is neat to move foward and reverse in a instant. I am learning quickly how to get it to cause some significant damage. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

I think you did good on your unit. Nice talking to you and all. I was just wondering why you posted on the gray market forum? Your unit is a used rental unit made for the american market not a gray market tractor.
