NH uses DOC/EGR for the Workmaster series up to 75 hp. I have not had any issues with my Workmaster 75. I bought it new 5 years ago. The 55/65/75 series is made in Turkey by NH & TurkTractor, they are not rebadged LS tractors. I believe the 50/60/70 series is made in India by NH.

I bought a pasture vacuum 800 model. Works OK if you clean up every few days.

I wouldn't hesitate to buy an older one if I needed it. I have multiple GMC diesels with very few problems. Started with a 1995 1500 with the 6.5, then went to 2500HDs with the Duramax 6.6 in a 2003, a 2008, and a 2017. Currently have the 2024 3500HD with the Duramax 6.6 and the 2024 Yukon...

GM has the checklist for trailering as well. You can add custom items like check ball size. At first I was not using it and overlooked some things like putting in the lock pin on the bumper pull hitch. I now use it as well as chaining the pin to the tongue to remind me that it is there. It...

Not according to the NH parts diagrams. They look to be different. The TC18 brackets are discontinued. Here is the TC18 diagram and the models the TC18 brackets fit. Here is the TZ18DA diagram.

Looks like a viable option for hauling smaller tractors. Has a 10,000# GVWR with a payload weight of 6,845#. Multiple tiedown points, surge brakes, and triple ramps. Rents for $89.95 a day.

Not yet. I still have about 180 bales in the barn from last year. I usually start hauling in hay around September/October. My hay supplier uses Steffen equipment so now I am matched up with him. I still have my W.R. Long 10 bale grapple but will probably put it up for sale after hauling in...

We ordered some limited edition sheets of stained glass, which is a routine thing for us. When we received the box it looked in bad shape and was very heavy, which is quite unusual. Seems along the way an employee at a FedEx facility cut open the box and stuck a John Deere front wheel adapter...

Added a new Steffen 10 bale grapple with 3rd/4th function electric diverter valve. Will allow me to operate the splitter valve from the cab. Will use my existing 3rd function to connect to it. The 4th function allows me to rotate the grapple 90° to stack more hay in the hay barn. I will be...

I would go for a minimum of a tandem axle 16' trailer, even if you have to up your budget. For a long-term capital expenditure, it will pay off. I traded in my Big Tex 50LA tandem axle which was 14' long, 77' wide, and 5,000# GVWR for a new Big Tex 70PI trailer. It is tandem axle with brakes...

I like my Kubota ZD1211. It sips fuel compared to my previous Cub Cadet gas ZTR. Even with the suspension seat it is not the most comfortable in rough ground. I am considering adding an air ride seat that comes with the ZD1611 to make mowing more tolerable. Making the wife happy is...

Same here. Just came back up.

When I bought my RTV- X recently I had to get a Kubota form signed by my Texas Farm Bureau that the TFB insurance covered everything that KTAC covered.

I wanted to add a small tractor to the fleet to do some mowing in rougher areas of the yard, dirt work around the buildings, and mulch the flowerbeds. I lucked out and found a new 2023 NH 25S with loader and MMM at the NH dealer for $14,900 last year. They even took my 20 y/o Kubota F2560 in...

I have the same issue with flat faced connectors. Best way I found to avoid it is to turn off the tractor and cycle the hydraulics several times to bleed off any pressure. Still have to crack a hose on the grapple occasionaly to bleed off pressure.
