Well it's time for new tires on my cargo trailer. The trailer currently has bias ply 205 75 R 15 load range "C" tires installed, with dual 3500 lb. axles - brakes on both. Of the 4 tires none of them match as far as the manufacturer. This trailer spends allot of time on the interstate at 60 -...

I think I have this figured out, I just want to make sure before I order the hose. This is off my father-in-laws Ford/New Holland 7108 front end loader. I think it's a #8 JIC female swivel connection. Inside measurement with a caliper shows .690. The New Holland parts web site just lists...

I recently purchased a used 5 ft. hydraulic driven brush cutter for my Bobcat T190. During the sales transaction the gentleman I was purchasing if from said "I wish you have more luck with it than I did", He went on to say it never performed very well, and seemed really slow and stalled...

Any experiences with bobcat S175. The good...the bad...The ugly? What to look for in a used machine with 900 hrs on it. Any input is appreciated. It would mainly be used to run a 60in brushcutter, and a 66in brush grapple. Maybe some dirt moving with a 66 in toothed bucket. Thanks.....

I need to get a disabled LS-180 on an equipment trailer. The engine is in need of maintenance and we are moving it to my shop. Is there a way to put the hydraulic drive motors in by-pass? On my Toro ZTR lawn mower you can put the drive motors in bypass by turning a bolt on the drive motor...

I have a universal quick attach adapter on my TC-45 with a 16LA front end loader. My father in law has seen how handy it is now he would like one for his Ford/New Holland 1920 with a 7308 front end loader. After calling two different New Holland dealers both have said there was never a...

Anybody have any experience with this ? My bucket curl is bypassing. When I try to back drag the bucket swivels up. Swapped the hydraulic hoses between the boom and bucket curl and the problem went the the boom circuit. So it looks like my control valve needs seals, seats, springs etc. Any...

Just bought a used TC-45D. I have swapped my FEL, BH, Canopy, and Remote hydraulic valves from the 35 to the 45. So now I need to sell my TC-35. It's now just a bare bones tractor with no accessories, or implements. How much do you think I should ask for it ? 2003 TC-35D Hydro...

Just upgraded from a TC-35 to a TC-45. I had been using a 5 ft. Bush Hog RZ-60 behind my 35, but would like to go with something wider. I have two 10 acre fields I'm cutting every 4 to 5 weeks and the 5 footer takes forever. It's mostly grass and weeds and never gets more than 18 inches high...

Anybody own, or operate, a dual spindle rotary cutter ? Specifically a Bush Hog SQ84-T ? http://www.bushhog.com/agtoc.html I have 10 acres of light grass with very little brush in it. The grass, really weeds, are only about knee high. I have been cutting this with my five foot cutter, but it...

Our local New Holland dealer, Wade Tractor in Griffin Georgia, held their annual customer appreciation day today. Door prizes, T-shirts, caps, hot dogs and pizza was all for the taking. They had all their equipment discounted quite a bit. I stayed for about 3 hours and witnessed 5 tractors, 2...

A question for all dealers. Do you NOT make any money selling attachments ? On the way home from work today I stopped at 2 different tractor dealers to price a 6 ft. box blade. The local John Deere dealer would not even come outside when he saw me looking at his box blades. He wasn't with...

This afternoon while pushing brush up into a pile I had a little accident with my 2003 TC-35D. A three inch tree limb came into the left side of engine compartment and did some minor damage. It pushed the two hydraulic lines that run to the hydraulic oil cooler up into the fan shroud. This of...

I have been shopping for a box blade for my 2003 TC-35 4WD Hydro with R-4 tires. I have been looking at six foot wide blades. The last two places I have looked said a six footer is too much for a 35 HP tractor. They all have recommended a 5 footer. Most of my work will be landscaping around...

OK guys I think I have this figured out. Please let me know if my logic here is flawed. I just purchased a 3 pt. hitch log splitter from Northern tools that operates from the tractor hydraulics. I have a 2003 TC-35D with 16LA FEL and 757-C BH. I could connect the log splitter hydraulics the...
