First time tractor owner - New Holland TC30

[rvb]

I have a New Holland TC30 with 185 hours on it. I bought it with the house I just bought.

I have been using it to mow the lawn, but have some questions. I had some problems with the safety switch/alternator fuse blowing very often. It seems to have stopped after I took the dash apart and crawled over and under the rig checking connections. However, it happened again today. I just can't figure it out.

Also, what should I be running for pressure in the tires? I've got it set a couple of PSI under the max. rating on the tires. Will softer tires (less pressure) give me more traction and a less bumpy ride?

Finally, all I have is the owner's manual. But, I don't see where it tells me about how to take off my mower and hook other stuff up to it. I have a Woods 6' finish mower and a manure spreader. I would like to know how to take the dang mower off. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks for any replies. I'm a bit overwhelmed with this thing. I can't wait until I learn how to operate it properly so I can have less aggrivation and more tractor driving fun! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Maybe I'll get a pic of it soon and post it.

Hi,

Can't help with the mower deck. My tractor and manuals are in PA and I live in VA so I can't help with the tire pressures either.

As a matter of fact I'm no help at all but I would like to see pics of the setup. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

I guess I don't totally understand. Are you trying to take the finish mower off or are you talking about a Mid Mower/Belly mower??

Sorry for the confusion. I was trying to take it off. My brother-in-law came over and showed me.

I'll try and get some pics and post them here.
