New Holland failure

Every one of these events had a common thread, I was exceeding the lift capacity of the loader or digging into the ground. Every loader manual I have read says 'do not dig'. Most of us use them like a skid loader or highlift. Finally decided it was cheaper to use my loader for loading round bales, bought a skid loader for routine stuff, and rent a dozer or high lift when I need to. Cheaper than the damage to the tractor.

Now then in my opinion its pretty much how you use something as to having something break into on ya. A loader on a farm tractor was not designed to do the work of a construction grade outfit. I'm carefull to not over do it on my 4430 with my Deere 725 loader and I have a 48 loader that I'm going to put on my 3020. The 48 came off of a 4020 that I traded on the 4430 last year and I never had any problems with with it although I did trade the tractor after having clutch problems with it. Common sense is the key to keeping things running and not tearing things up. Your going to have break downs there is no doubt about that but if you watch what your doing the self inflicted break downs will be few and far between, oh yea get ya a green and yeller one!!!!! !!

Were you using a backhoe, those are known to bust a tractor in half.

Do you have a NH loader, or other make? Was it the loader that busted it? Warrenty gets complicated if you have a non-NH loader. They blame you & each other, takes longer.

Some discussion of such at www. tractor by net. com Anyhow a lot more compact owners to reach out to.
