    Posted: 25 Apr 2012 at 9:57pm
I'm looking at a D17 industrial with a backhoe. Can anyone tell me how high the loader can lift? I have a 200 with a 500 loader would the 17 with the industrial loader lift any where near as high? the loader appears to be heavier duty than the 500.
 
I haven't seen the tractor in person yet but the pictures look good. I asked if it has a shuttle clutch or power director and he says it doesn't have either. Is that right? how capable is the D17 as a backhoe tractor? It will be for farm use.

Probably wouldnt be much of a field tractor, but should work great as a farm "digging" tractor, ie changing the pipe at the end of the driveway
On the indutrials, PD was an option, as was shuttle clutch.

Looking at the pictures this is a series II or late series I tractor. It has an abjustable front axle with a truss like the D14 in the classified section, did the HD solid front axle start with the series III tractor? There is obviously a front mount hyd pump, so I assume they deleted the belly pump. Is the resivor in the tractor or the loader frame?
 
Does anyone have any experience with one of these or were they that rare?

Yes it's strickley a backhoe but I didn't know that PD and shuttle clutch were both optional I assumed it was either or.

I saw a Series III industrial this week and it has the solid front axle. Yours should have the TS-1000 loader with the rated lift of 3000 lbs. Backhoe is 13'6". Power director and shuttle were options on D-17's and I have seen an industrial that was so stripped down that it did not have any hydraulics or PD or shuttle. I can't beleive this D-17 would not have a shuttle. If you are looking for a good bullet proof A-C TLB as a worker on the farm get a 715B. 4700 lbs loader cap and 15' hoe. I started with an I-60 in 1974, than a 715, and now a 715B since 1988. 38 years of A-C TLB's.
