Hey Guys Just wondering if anyone here has experience with Tuscaloosa Tractor. I am interested in a used 4740 that they have for sale but I live in NY and have no way to check out the machine. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

Hey Guys I have lost all confidence in the RTV1100 to perform the trail grooming task we are looking for. Has anyone out there used the Argo vehicles for this purpose? Thanks.

Ok guys Big problems now. Both rear axles have stripped splines after 150 hrs. on machine....110 hrs. with tracks installed. Need a trip to dealer to see how they are gong to handle this as it is very likely if they just replace parts with new we will have the same issue over again. This...

Hello Gents Some of you may remember the post I made with all the issues outlining the Mattracks set-up with our RTV. One of them was that the machine seemed to have some transmission issues. The machine just simply didn't seem right and as it turns out it most certainly was not working...

Hello Gents Anyone out there use one of those snow pushers that you see on skid steers and at the airports on their tractors? I see one on Curtis cabs web site but not sure how well it would work on a tractor. Seems like you would need a lot more weight for traction than what a tractor has...

Guys Just a notice. We recently bought a RTV 1100 for our snowmobile club and we are having issues with the driver side rear track rotating up and hitting the mattracks guard, stalling the track then getting stuck. Second issue was that the rear leafs were getting severe spring wrap which...

Hey Guys I busted one of the loader hydro hard lines attached to the inside of the loader frame today. There is a locater clamp that holds the 4 lines in place. This clamp actually deforms (squishes) the steel hose a bit and that is where the hose failed (something you 30 series guys may...

Guys Tire Chains by Tirechains.com .See a bunch of different versions here. Just wondering if anyone has experience with any of these stlyes. V-bars look good but if they flip over the advantage is gone. Opinions/thoughts welcome! Tom

Hello All I am mostly very satisfied with my newly aquired 4330 but have a few questions regarding the FEL capability of this tractor. 1) I am assuming that "breakout" is the limit in force before the hydrulic will simply not lift. I.E. you have the handle all the way open to lift but...

Hello Gents I have to say that the seats on the new 20 series cab models are like floating on a cloud. That suspension is SMOOTH and has a ton of travel!!! I am thinking of getting one for my Kubota because quite frankly that suspension seat is nothing compared to the JD seat...I know.....I...

Hey Guys Just changed from UDT that was in my newly aquired 4330 to Amsiol ATH. Didn't notice any real difference yet. It did not make any difference in the smoothness of the 3 pt operation that I had hoped for. Hope It was not a waste of $$. Tom

Hello Guys Going to change out the Hydro fluid from UDT to Amsoil ATH synthetic. Is it just as easy as draining the old, changing the filters and dumping in the new as the manual suggests, or is there anything more that I should know. Thanks. Tom

Hello All Just a small deal here but I thought I'd ask. My L4330 takes about an inch of 3pt lever movement before a reaction occurs at the lift. My fathers JD 790 is super smooth and reacts to very small inputs on the lever. I am using Kubota UDT right now but will switch to Amsoil ATH soon...

Hello All Just wondering about the start-up noise that I hear with my L4330 as well as some white smoke. At start-up the motor is probably half again louder than it is after it has warmed up for a few minutes. Along with the added loudness It also has a more metalic sound to it than the...

Hello Gents Just wondering if there are any products/kits out there for heating the hydro fluid in cold climate operation. I have a block heater but that probably doesn't reach the hydro fluid! Thanks. Tom
