Hey All, I know you all love new tractor pictures even if they are red instead of blue. Attached is my new Farmall 105U getting put to work for the first time. I put 10 hours on it last weekend rolling abour 40 large bales. This is the same tractor as the NH T5060 and so far I'm really...

Hi All, I recently upgraded my farm and will be moving about 35 miles East and now have a good JD dealer close by. I'm looking to add a new tractor to help with haying (round bales) and really like the comments on the 5603. The initial quote is $41K with cab, loader, bobcat adapter, and two...

Hi All, I've read through all of the threads on non-starting Boomers and I now have one. Today, after jump starting my 2003 TC40D, I worked for about 5 minutes and the tractor just stopped. Heck, I was just at a high idle working with the FEL and she quit fast, like it was electrical. After...

Hi All, Not sure if you're getting tired of me yet, but here's some info on the new TN models. As stated before, they are now called the T4000 series and all of them now have 4 cylinder engines instead of the old 3 cylinder model. The lowest HP model is the T4020 and it has 50 PTO HP so it maps...

Hi All, I'm looking to purchase my first stock trailer now that I've been in the cattle business for two years and am up to about 60 cows. I'm looking at either a steel Titan or aluminum Barrett trailer, both of which ar 24' long. The Titan is $8,250 and the Barrett is $15,200. The sales guy...

Hi All, I just got off the phone with my local dealer and wanted to update everyone on what I found out. The new model numbers will apply to all the new NH equipment. In the TC area, the TC35->TC45 will become the T2300 series with the 2310, 2320, and 2330 models. With this move, each model...

Hi All, I'm looking at one of the new TT-A series tractors and my dealer says there isn't much dicker room on the prices. He says NH doesn't give them much room to work on these models and was wondering if we have any new owners out there as I will most likely be one soon. Doing some research...

Hi All, I'm looking at picking up a Repair Manual for my TC40D. However, I've noticed that the CD version for the TC40D is $83.33 and the CD version for the TC40DA is $333.87. Why the big difference? The paper manuals are a bit closer in price $289 vs $342, but just want to make sure I'm...

Hi All, I need to add some hydraulic fluid to my CaseIH JX85. I've used the NH134D fluid for my TC40, but after looking on the web and going to Tractor Supply to look at all their fluids, I can't seem to find the appropriate cross for the Akcela Nexplore type fluid (In my JX85 Manual). All of...

Hi All, Here's my issue: I recently purchased a 20-acre parcel that adjoins my 110 acres. A few months ago I found out who owned the property and wrote them a letter. It basically said that I would like to purchase it if they ever wanted to sell. A couple months later, they gave me a call and...

Hi All, Just wanted to let everyone know that I've diversified my tractor holdings. Case JX85 was delivered Thursday and got some seat time today. I'm both blue and red now. Here's a picture with more over on the Case board. I'm really having fun shifting again, especially with the turbo...

Hi All, I'm now both a NH and Case man. Dealer delivered my JX85 late Thursday night and I finally got to spend some time with the tractor today. Took some pics to share with everyone. Here's the tractor being delivered.

Hi All, Been researching a grapple that will work on my TC40 and JX85. Just got some quotes this morning from Anbo and Pirahna and there's quite a difference. I know the Anbo is the best one out there, but is it really worth double the price? Anyone with a Piranha grapple? Here are the prices...

Hi All, I'm getting ready to add a utility tractor to my fleet (of 1). I have more acres now and will be using the tractor primarily for haying. I'm getting ready to pull the trigger and I'm looking at a new Case JX85 and a used (100 hours) JD 5420. The JD is $2K more has very little warranty...
