I've been interested in a grapple to do some light brush clean-up but am now having second thoughts. There is a used John Deere 4 in 1 (the smaller one) for $1000 and I'm debating if it would be a better choice. Having never used either it's a hard call for me. One of the things I've noticed...

Ok, in the what the heck am I thinking category.... A few months ago I bought a 2004 4310 with 853 hrs for $9k even. Added a new 300CX and was out the door after taxes, 3rd SCV, etc for $15,300. Well, my dealer just traded for a really clean 2007 3520 with 690hrs, a 300X, 72MMM, and a 448 BH...

Who says customer service is dead! Just wanted to share an exchange I had with the Danuser company. It's a little long winded but I was so impressed by these folks that I needed to share it here: Saw a Danuser MD-6 post driver for sale locally and was interested but couldn't find much info on...

Have been wanting more chipper (power feed for sure) than my little Troy-Built for a few years now but it hasn't made it far enough up the priority list to justify the cost. Well, was at my local Rural king and ran across their branded Jinma marked down to $899! It was "no tax Saturday" so...

Bought my 4310/300CX in the middle of a BIG dirt project and needed bucket teeth fast. I had them on the old tractor but they wouldn't work on the new bucket. Luckily we have a shop locally that services the coal mines, they have a huge inventory and great prices. I picked up the 23 series...

A neighbor offered me what I paid 375 hrs ago for my 2210 so after many years of faithfull service I decided that it was time for a little more tractor. Went out looking for used 2520 or 4100 but stumbled on to this clean 4310 for a price I thought was a steal: 2002 John Deere 4310 Tractors -...

I just bought a used Gator 4X2 and am a little confused about engines. As near as I can figure it's a 1995 and from the engine plate it has an FE250 but all of the JD documentation I can find says only the CS had that engine. They list the FE290 for the 4X2. SN is W004X2X012137. If any one...

I'm sure many already have this info but for those who don't and really wanted to know how much a Cu/ft of arsenic weighed. It has gravel, sand, and the like also... Specific Gravity Weights Of Materials from READE

Had posted this in Parts/repair a while back, just wanted to repost here so others might learn from my mistake. CHECK THE FUEL FILTER!!! original post (updated); I bought this JD 2210 about 3 months ago from a dealer. It had 131 hours on it and looks new. I've put 81 hours on it with no...

O.K. here it goes...sorry for the novel! I bought this JD 2210 about 3 months ago from a dealer. It had 131 hours on it and looks new. I've put 81 hours on it with no problems, until yesterday. Here is where stupid comes in:( I bought a filter pack for it and changed the oil and filter...

Just thought I'd share, Rural King has Mobil Delvac 1300 15W40 on sale for $9.99/Gal and if you register at Mobil Delvac Rebate you can get a $3.00/ Gal rebate. They also have $15 rebate on 5Gal pails Max of 12 gallons AND 3 pails for the rebate.

Everything folks have said about a tooth bar making it act like a different tractor is spot on! I was sure when I built this I "needed" it to be removable but I haven't taken it off since the test install even to paint it:) I was going to do the top 1/4" retaining bar like some of the others...

Let me start with: I couldn't have done it without TBN! Thanks for all of the ideas, pictures, and encouragement you've given others! I just started posting but have been lurking and learning for nearly a year. Here are pics of the pallet forks I made for my JD 2210 and 210 loader. My main goal...

For grins I decided to check the hydraulic pressure on my new to me JD2210 and was supprised to consistently get 2400 psi compared to the manuals 1987psi. I used a 4k psi gage mounted to a quick coupler and connected it to the SCV after I disconnected one of the loader lines. The pressure was...

Just wanted to introduce myself and say thanks for all of the GREAT info on TBN. You folks have been a huge help! I had a 455 until about a month ago when I ran into a deal on a 2210/210 that I couldn't pass up. This is a great little tractor so far!. I've already made a tooth bar and set of...
