    New Holland 3430 - exhaust doesn’t sound right

    Unsure what engine you have in your NH, but I've got a Ford 1910 3 cyl manufactured by Shibaura. It does not sound like yours. Does your tractor seem to have full power under load? That may tell you if it's running on 2 cylinders? If so, agree low hours hopefully not mechanical but fuel-related

    More Bush Hog shear pin issues.

    Turkeys

    Turkeys

    We're in SE Mich near Lake St. Clair. Occasionally see Sandhill Cranes. Seem migratory. Since I've been on this acreage 40+ years and only seen 4-5x consider rather rare and a treat to see occasionally. Sorry you're having issues with them being destructive.

    hydraulic problems

    Just a thought... Don't have a JD but on my compact tractor they are part of the same system. One pump for both. Ask is he dinked around with the hydraulic selector valve or the draft control settings on the 3 pt? My brother got mine stuck in mud and couldn't get the FEL loader to push it out...

    Combine repair

    Nice work. I mean the combine. Not the hand....LOL. Some of that metal just behind your repair to the right looks deeply pitted. Might wanna keep an eye on it.

    Nephew put a supercharger on his Pontiac G8. Now there's a hole in the block big enough to stick your fist in. It's your tractor...

    Just curious... What makes this tractor desirable? Collectability or some functionality not easily attained with a modern tractor?

    Rate my Haul job - 1st time hauling heavy equipment

    Have had success using sections of old fire hose for edge protection whether you feed chain or straps through it. Also protects painted surfaces from chain bites. Between the thick rubber core and durable canvas exterior it's some 'tuff stuff'.
