I had a look on Google at this model and it says it comes standard as a 2 wheel drive so is the second option to have 4 wheel drive?  If yes did you choose the 4 wheel drive front axle?

 

Also does it come with a "blade" on the front as it seems most Thai tractors have?  I find the blade a nuisance most of the time and prefer to take it off when working in the paddies. In my opinion it makes the whole tractor lighter and allows you to drive closer to the paddy bank even over it if the bank is not too high.  The drawback is if you managed to get bogged and don't have the blade on you can't use it to lift the front up to put logs under the front wheels.  I have tried to think of a way to make and attachment that uses the blades ram to lift the front but so far unsuccessful.

 

If you end up like me you will be very happy with your new "toy". I have a TT4.55

 

Hello

Plaw Tang: off set wheel and smaller wheels - modified for rice paddies

Plaw Tong: bigger wheels and tires

yes both are 4WD, it comes with a blade, but we can use the blade as part of the down payment if we do not need it, it also comes with an extra implement. I do not see needing a blade at this moment,  not sure how often people use it other than for leveling, or pushing dirt aside, the extra front weight can always be compensated with placing front weight.

 

Yes the TT4.55 I will not mind having, but can not justify the price difference for a pet project. Glad your happy with yours, and hopefully will have the same experience.

Hi Zeid,
Which shop have you ordered from?
Cheers!

I will PM you

Today I had an interesting call back from one of the brands head office.

Which kind of sealed the deal at a New Holland TT3.50

 

It was an interesting  discussion  and un expected from a dealership here to say the  pros and cons.

 

But below is summery if anyone interested  of why I decided to to go with a new holland, based on various reads, discussions and comments, comments welcome. 

 

Japanese tractors here are mostly designed for rice paddies, JD and New Holland will or might not be able to compete with them on rice paddies.

 

New holland designed more for cash crops, and hence the modified design on the TT3.5 where you have two options on front axle, to make it more wet field friendly

 

 

New holland and JD both manufactured  in pune India, so relative costs and maintenance  should not be that far apart.

 

JD has more of a reputation  so might end up buying a name more than a machine

 

I like the high torque on low RPM and big tank on the New Holland, as well as more competitive financing.

 

And finally I think what sealed the deal is the blue color 55555.( I do not believe there is a correct choice)  Let's just hope blue is a lucky color.

 

As for engine size I agree with Kickstart on getting a smaller one and heavy lifting done by others, but I was getting many shrugs on why I want to plough or turn the soil downwards, same direction.and will be wasting time and gas and and and. So was another sign to get a mid size 50 HP price between 54 and 49 is not much and does not justify  the higher cost,.and should do the same work.

 

Thank you all for the inputs

I print around 10-30k boxes every few months and the prices are very reasonable, but it all depends on what type of paper you want, quantity, as well as what printing.

 

As well as usage, and how much weight you want to put in or stack

 

Also the prices between 3k 5k and 10k are different, for you it might not be significant  based on your operation

Only the smaller JD's ,and then not all the models up to 40 hp ,our local JD dealer has 50hp+ ,these are all JD's  own tractors .

Good Morning

So you would say 50-55 range which one would be a better choice? And why will that be in your opinion or why not?

Or your first choice is neither ? ????

Yes seems a lot of DIY modifications to be done here.

 

prepared fields,

is the main reason that is driving me to buy my own tractor, initially wanted to invest in some implements only,  and outsource the tractor, since it is a small plot we are experimenting on, but after discussion with the operators, I came to the conclusion it  will be less of a headache and possibly medical bills to just buy one, and do what is in my head. also if not made the way we want it to, might not be able to really judge if it was successful or not.

 

The same ones they have on back of the rice planters  to cover up

Sweet, did you try to put paddles on the back instead of chains?

 

yes just today i asked i was told there is a company called ASB that does john deere cabs for 160K

 

 

and more on tractors, today i had an interesting discussion, as below

• Kubota is very popular machine, average not spectacular
• New Holland Good, but high maintenance cost and spare parts if needed
• Yanmar/John Deere best engines (They share same engines) Yanmar everything else average,
• Seems John Deere got the best of that discussion, as spare parts are available cheaply from indian factory.

not sure what are your thoughts about the above.

 

 

 

Yanmar might actually  work for no tillage farming

Good Morning All,

 

Does the rise planter reaches depth?

 

For no tillage i was also considering but, you will need proper equipment for planting, and i think once that is figured out it is best way to go especially April may when it is very hot. Also what cover crop are you thinking of? (To create the rolled cover)

 

Siam implememts has some nice machinery with some duck foot tines, that is also adjustable  i think I will give it a go.

 

Douglasspade,

Thank you for the pictures.

Once it reaches silking stage can you please send some photos as well.

 

For yanmars please see below links and pictures they have two sizes

https://www.yanmar.com/th/agri/products/implements/y4700msc/

 

Hello Farmerjo

glad to hear the 20 inches number come up ???? 

but what I meant for weed removal between rows what machine/peripheral/implement did you use?  or weed control was based on herbicides?

 

 

Good Day, 

not sure if this questions have been talked about.

 

but what spacing are you using for your corn?

also are you using for interrow cultivation?

 

 

Haha yes tractorboys made me wish actually  put more effort in learning Thai.

I like the high torque on lower rpm on the New holland.

 

For yanmar what got me interested is their corn planter, but I guess  you can buy it to use with any other, except John deere as I was told that their implements are not interchangeable 

Hello yes I went through that thread, maybe will go through it again, 

 

I agree  it seems not much is being sold I think it is also due to the prospective of the yanmar, and loyalty the brand Kubota

 

that is why i was interest in particular about the new yanmar, especially  when the engines are same as John deerr but tweaked a bit different. (Might be wrong)

 

Looking for  30 to 40 I think a 50HP will be a bit more than needed but nice to have the buffer.

 

So your not considering Yanmar or Kubota for your purchase. Is that personal preference, or is there a specific reason? (I also looked at the TT3)

how would you compare the products? or any experience , especially with the new yanmars?

 

All good official and respectful hospitals assist with visas, some even have immigration officers come once a week to issue extensions

Whatever.
The topic isn't even about Israel being democratic or not.
The assumption that democracy is a yes-no, black-white, either-or thing is bogus.

In this case I do not think true democracy does exist.

And again is selective

Erdogan policy changes are looked down at(regardless correct or no)
Cici in Egypt attempting the same but the west seems not to mind it (again regardless correct or no)

So even contries can be selective in whoes democracies they want to believe in, and support, sometimes even stand against the will of the people. Slightly off topic but related if democracy is black or white or selective :)

Really  no need for Israel bashing in this thread .
Every thread about Israel the Jew not likers make an appearance
 

Discussions about democracy, and it was not a comment about Jews it was a comment about actual democracy and hunan rights as per the discussions above, about the goverment of Isreal.

Same way I commented on other governments.

I just feel sorry that you see it as a comment against jews, but then again from many discussions on Quora and it seems here as well that pro Isreali goverment, individuals will always shift the attention to a person being a jewish not liker rather than admiting that the state is selectively democratic.

A few years ago attending an exhibition, an exhibitor was handed a black marker and asked to cover the hair of the young girl in the poster. So they made him put a Hijab for her.

A second was advertizing the healing powers of the hot spring, and the guy smiled and wrote Inshallah on the poster.

Historical sites where closed... Long story short this openness is coming fast but most of the people giving negetaive comments will not even realize a Saudi sitting next to them, and where against generalization probably on the Israeli post.

And for all other comments about the messed up version of Islam they follow thank the western governments for supporting a fanatic selfish tribal leader instead of a patriotic leader who would have affected their corporate pockets.

Hello not sure if you got a reply but there are two ways around it,
1. Register company with packhouse and GMP/HACCP certification register then with DOA and then with DOA healtg certificate. Certain items need to get radio therapy i assume mangosteen is your interest then you nees to have it treated.
2. You buy from an already registered company or work on commission basis

Some items like coconut you can send with a normal phyto certificate
