    2001 790 Question

    Thanks for all the replies. I guess I can hookup the blade and plow snow. Hope we have a winter like last year as I only had to plow once. docgj

    2001 790 Question

    I understood that all newer tractors would have down pressure? I'm going from using a 1952 Ferguson TO 30 to a 2001 JD 790. I am very used to plowing with the ferg on gravel. Just upgraded to a tractor with a front bucket. Thanks for the reply! docgj

    2001 790 Question

    Is there a way to set the hydraulics to allow a back blade to float? (No down pressure.) I would like to use it to plow snow on gravel driveway and not regrade the driveway at the same time. docgj

    Comparing TO-30 To JD 790

    I have the chance to buy a JD 790. 30hp diesel, 4wd, loader. All reviews seem to agree that it has a lot of power for a compact. I will be keeping the Fergy and restoring it. Anyone have thoughts on the JD? Will it have the guts of the Fergy? Most of the reviews show owners using the same...

    Oil Pressure? Long Post

    John, I tried your 3/4 throttle suggestion this weekend on the second pasture. Just about the same terrain as the other pasture. Fergy maintained the 20 lb oil pressure for the 4 hours it took me to brush hog it. THANKS! The air temp was about 20 degrees cooler than the previous attempt. Do...

    Oil Pressure? Long Post

    The bush hog is 5 ft. Oil was changed at the end of spring. Maybe 25 hrs on this oil change. Yes I'm sure the slopes I'm using the fergie on are steeper than I should be on. I have been around and on this tractor since I was able to walk and am used to the controls well enough to make it go...

    Oil Pressure? Long Post

    Thanks to all. Oil pressure has stayed at 20 lbs for 20 plus years. Though we never worked it as hard as brush hogging does. Yes I did blow out the cooling fins ou radiator from back side. Yes the plugs are fouled from oil. What do the plug extenders do? Didn't know about the 3/4 throttle thing...

    Oil Pressure? Long Post

    1952 TO 30. Been in the family since it was new. Was rebuilt back in the 1960's. Last 30 years it has been used for mowing, some dirt work, and finish cut mowing. Started using it to power a brush hog (5 ft) about 3 years ago. Noticed this year that after working it for a couple of hours (For...

    Ferguson in music video

    Is that a TO 35? I have seen the video before and thought it was a Massey?

    Up and running

    Glad to see you got her up and running. Nice looking property. Is that the correct position for the top link connection to the mower? I thought it should be down at approximately a 45 degree angle? docgj
