    Loading dead tractor onto trailer

    I'm not in this situation . But have often wondered, if you cant get your tractor running, how would you load it onto a flat bad to get it serviced ? I'm thinking a winch, but what about the loader, how would you raise the loader/bucket to get onto trailer ?

    gross HP -to- PTO HP ratio

    Will a TC35 make a good wood lot clearer ?

    I am looking at buying a 14 acre wooded lot. Mostly some 7-14 inch trees and a good deal of brush. The land is relatively flat. I would like to cut a road into it and eventually clear 2-3 acres leaving several trees standing but removing some as well. Time is on my side as I would just want to...

    TC30 with Bushhog M246 Loader ?

    I've been looking at and specking the TC30. I like the tractor - but the 7308 loader with only 875 lb lift seems to bother me. Does anyone have a TC30 with a BushHog M246 loader ? That loader specs at 1530 lb lift (Max height @ pins). Is this too much loader for the TC30 ? The M246 is a mid...

    Tractor display with buckets high in air

    Went to the county fair (had to look at the tractors) and one of the dealers was showing off his static display of CUT with the buckets raised high in the air. Isn't this dangerous ? especially with little kids running about and around the tractors all day. Is it possible for the bucket to...

    whats involved w/Finish grading property

    Looking into building a new house and buying CUT. I was thinking to help justify the cost of the CUT for the property, to buy before house is done - to do the final grading and backfiling/leveling of soil. I would have the contractor come in and dig foundation and remove topsoil from road to...

    Snow Attachments  Bucket mount snow blade for NH boomers or Blower?

    Anyone know about how much a bucket mounted snow blade would run for the New Holland Boomer tractors or a web site link to them ? I'm wondering if it is cheaper to get this instead of a rear mount PTO snowblower. Another option - buy a used truck snowplow and adapt to a quick attach and...

    Geared trannys-more low end torque than hydro ?

    I don't want to start another war on hydro versus geared - but I do have some questions regarding the two. At low Rpm's - will a geared synchro shuttled tranny have more torque than a hydro tranny since the hydro wouldn't be flowing as many GPM at lower rpm ranges ? Second question - if you are...

    Can you widen the axles on all tractors

    I have seen posts referring to widening the stance of the tractor by making the axles wider. Is this an adjustment on the tractor that is easily done or what are they referring to ?

    summerize difference between TC30 and Boomers ?

    I keep seeing the TC30 as the economical or entry point tractor from NH posted here - I looked through the specs - you can get most of the goodies - Hydro tranny, live independent PTO, all tire options, MMM, 4WD. I see it doesn't have the nice slanted hood - so what are the tradeoffs of the...
