Thanks for the replies. My friend brought his tractor and mower and made a few passes on the roughest places and it did a very good job. I think I will order one next week.
A friend has a Betstco Flail mower and I have been doing searches about them. I am planning to use a 60″ mower. What I am concerned about is our land is NOT level. it’s like riding a roller coaster when mowing it. It’s bumpy and has shallow washes. I am mowing the roughest part of the land today and will ask my friend to make a few passes with his mower to see how it does.
I decided to ask here even though I haven’t been on this site in a few years. Man! This site looks strange compared to what it was and how other forums are laid out. WOW, not fond of it at all.
I change oil and filter and completely service the tractor once a year. Sometimes I grease it between oil changes just because it may need it, mostly the FEL.
I run Rotella T 15w40 in everything I own and have done so since the 1970's when Cummins Engine Company had serious issues with Chevron Delo 400. I consider the extra protection the Rotella T provides worth using it over anything else on the market.
Northern Tools used to make good manuals for the Jinma tractors and they sell the 284. I suggest you call or email them and ask if they have a manual for the NT284.
As I remember there is a stop on the lift shaft to set the up limit but there is nothing to set the down spot and I have never seen a reason for it. When your using an implement you want to drop it all the way to the ground and release all the pressure on it so it will float on the ground with the weight of the attachment doing the work. There is no power down on your tractor as there is on some tractors so the implement will rise and fall with the contour of the ground.
If you want to stop it at some point let it down to that point and release the lever. It may not stay there because the cylinder will tend to leak off after a while.
Why do you want to stop it at a certain spot?
Well, if you do that tilt the bucket straight down and lift the front of the tractor with the bucket.
I was one of those that put a beeper and large red light on the dash to remind me to release the parking brake. Most the time it works.
So, I guess there's no way for Hal to make it faster on the same server and we have what we have. Well, the site has a one time fee so we are what we are.
EDIT: it seems to be running faster today so I guess something has changed.
Yes, it's slow for me to and I'm on fast DSL. I posted to Hal in the Activity section and emailed him and nothing has changed. What I do is click on this site then open another tab and go to another site and after a while come back here and the page has loaded. I click on a forum thread and go to the other tab and read the other site and after several minutes COTA will load.
I just keep doing that but I only have to do that for this site. All the other sites I go to load in seconds.
