    Need advice New Holland TC55da

    Thanks for the replies, heres the background. He only starts the tractor maybe twice a year. He really doesn't use it at all but wants to hang onto it. He goes out to his barn occasionally and tries to start it but does not remember how to "light" the glowplugs before starting so he just cranks...

    Hello guys, My 96 year old dads tractor wont start. He called me and told me the battery is dead. It was an original battery and tested bad so I replaced it with a new one of the same size.

    PTO shaft guard help

    Thanks guys, I just thought maybe I was missing something on a way to attach a guard. I am the only person running it and I shut the PTO off before I get off the machine so I will likely run it as is. The guy I bought it from said it was 7 or 8 years old so I have to assume that is not the shaft...

    PTO shaft guard help

    Hello there, I am relatively new to the tractor attachment PTO driveshaft game and could use some advice / help. I recently picked up a used Countyline 4 foot rotary cutter for my New Holland Boomer 20. After I got it home I gave it a good once over to make sure it was good to go. One of the...

    New Holland Boomer 20/25/24 loader clunk

    Agreed, I actually did do that. I thought maybe the post for the loader was clunking where it sits in the saddle. Until a couple months ago I had never taken the loader off since new. The only reason I took it off was to see if I could identify the location of the noise. The mating surfaces look...

    New Holland Boomer 20/25/24 loader clunk

    As follow-up I have also jacked up the front of the tractor to check the front axle to make sure there is no movement and everything moves smoothly. I did this because the noise appears every time the front wheels are lifted off the ground by the loader the lowered back down. I really do not...

    New Holland Boomer 20/25/24 loader clunk

    Hi all, Looking for help or ideas diagnosing a clunk on my Boomer 20 loader. My understanding is that the 20 is the same as the 24/25 just a different size engine. I have owned this machine from new, 6 years. It has 480 some hours and has been serviced regularly and stored inside. About 4...

    New Holland TC55da battery help needed

    Hi guys, My dad just called me and needs me to get him a battery for his 2004 TC55da. He is 95 years old and lives several miles away. I asked him if he could see a battery number on it so I can get the correct dimensions etc. He said that he did not see any numbers. It is the original...

    LS XJ2025 backhoe bucket.

    Brotek probably has a ripper tooth that will fit. If not they will make one for you. They didn't list a ripper tooth for my Boomer 20 but it is the same backhoe as a MF CB65 (which they make a ripper for) so it fit perfectly. I used the ripper for trenching 250 feet to lay some cable and it...

    Ballast box receiver to tow logs with chain & grapple?

    I use my carry-all in a similar way. I welded a hook on the upper part of the carry-all frame and use log tongs with a short piece of chain to adjust the height. These are some red oak logs I recently skidded, the biggest was 21" at the butt. That was about all that tractor wanted to handle.

    New Holland Boomer 20 (23hp) with Loader & Backhoe Inout/Quality

    I bought mine from a local New Holland dealer 2.5 years ago. I have 140 hours on mine and love it. My neighbor has a big Kioti and has told me that he is amazed at what the little NH will do. For comparison purposes the tractor is made by LS of South Korea. I think it is badged a J2023H. When I...

    NH Boomer / Massey GC1710 zerk caps

    As I was viewing some recent "new posts" I noticed that the Massey CB65 backhoe and loader appear to be identical to the ones on my Boomer. One of the nice little items that I like about the New Holland is the grease zerk covers. I have attached a couple pictures of how they look and of the part...

    Boomer 20- buy, consider, or avoid?

    I bought a Boomer 20 about 10 months ago. I got mine new from a local dealer that has a great reputation in my area. I was looking at the Kioti CS2410, Kubota BX25D and the New Holland Boomer. I wanted a FEL and backhoe on my machine. No midmount mower. As I was shopping I eliminated the Kioti...
