Hi, I need a box blade. The quote I got locally for a Woods HB60, which has the floating, but lockable, rear cutting edge, was $705. Plus tax, delivered to my door. Is this reasonable or outrageous? Beats me... But I wonder if I should go with something like the Woods R1060 roll over model...

Hello all - Have an L3410 - going to buy a box blade. Too small, not efficient. Too large, tire spin and less efficient. Can anyone recommend what size they may have and what material they move. Wet Clay and Item 4 weigh more and require more conservative box blade widths. That is what I...

Hi, 1.Does the 2910 have an advantage over the 2710 for backhoe use?. 2.What backhoe should I get ..Kubota or aftermarket? I am interested in price, easy of mounting/dismounting, performance and what unit would stress the tractor frame the least.

I'm in the process of buying a b2150 with loader and backhoe and turf tires with about 50% remaining. I plan to make trails through my 20 acre woods. Will I get enough traction with turf tires, or do I need Ag. tires?

I have only two complaints about my B7500: 1) I can't get enough seat time, and 2) I get thirsty in the Texas heat and there's no place to store a drink, say a thermos or bottle of water. So what do ya'll do when you're thirsty and don't want to quit working?

Just purchased, and still waiting delivery, of a NH TC33d FEL w/60" HD bucket and 72" Landspride rear blade. I need to put in a 300 ft drive and eventually a path from my front door to the drive. Do I need a box blade to do this or is the above sufficient? If so, what size/brand? Cost?

We rented/tried out a T33D to mow our prairie this weekend. We had done the same with a Kubota B2710 about six weeks ago. We're actually considering the B2910, but the 2710 is very similar minus a few features. Anyway, I liked both of them, and they were far more alike than different. I'm...

Hi everyone! Truejourney advised the following in a seperate thread in the general owning/operating forum, in response to a question I posted about using the 4690's transport pins "I would recommend that you use the backhoe's hydraulics to carry the weight and not let it rest on the pin...

I've got a hippie friend who makes his own beer. He just loves it, and he will always try to get me to taste his latest batch. I've known him for quite a while, so I'm very honest with him about how terrible I think his beer is. It's usually dark and thick and always has sediment in the bottom...

I have a 2 acre lot. I will probale us it for mowing and some snow removal and misc work with a loader. Please replie.I am trying to choose from a john deere 790,4010,and 4100.

Hi, When doing loader work and not needing to use the backhoe, say for several hours, should I pin the backhoe? I have noticed that the boom gradually drifts down, and every once in a while I have to engage the pto and lift the boom back up again. Seems like it would be a good idea to pin the...

Got a BX22 a few weeks back, primarily to use for mowing the lawn with the 60" MMM but also to encourage my 15 yr old son with his ambition to become a landscaper. He does alot of yard work in the neighborhood. Anyway, the ground around here is rather hilly and I am constantly concerned about...

I'm looking for loaders for a future Yanmar 18+ PTO HP 4wd tractor. I see that a company in Idaho builds and sells the Idaho Loader 3G. This sounds pretty good. Has anyone had experience with it? Maybe other recommendations? What interested me was the dual hydraulics for the bucket. Is this...

I just received a follow-up to my meeting yesterday w/dealer re.LK3054 Kioti with a new offer to "Help him finish off the month". Equipped exactly a noted earlier, he will sell me the package for $14,500. I believe that I can buy the package for around $14,000 or $14,100. What do you'all think?

Drove a DK 40, I\'m hooked! I finally made it to my local dealer yesterday and drove a DK 40. Wow, why didn't you guys tell me how nice these things are?! Seriously, this is one nice tractor. The dealer seemed extremely helpful also, but I am going to go back a few times before I buy to get a...

Thanks to all of you that responded to this query. I think that I've got it. I continue to move forward in my search for the tractor that I need and that I can afford and I finally got to actually drive a Kioti 3054 today! Very impressive tractor. He quoted me $15,410 for a package of tractor...

Can I put a front blade on my Craftsman 18HP garden tractor? How does it attach and how is it raised and lowered? Any information will be appreciated. Let me know if anyone have any sleeve hitch implements that want to sell.

I was sorta thinking about getting a goat. No specific reason really, I just like animals. Are they expensive to feed, and take care of (vet bills)? Would a pig or a cow be better? Also, are they ok by themselves, or do they prefer to have a friend for company?

Where are the Case/ IH / New Holland tractors made?

We bought our 12 acres several months ago and I've been researching the requirements to maintain an ag exemption on the property. It was undeveloped pasture and currently has the exemption in place until the end of the year. We will homestead our home on 1 acre, and use another 2 acres or so as...

Hi, I have a Kubot B2910. Only 20 hours on it so far. Only two weeks old. most of those hours have been loader/backhoe. When using the loader, and occasionally hearing the pressure releaf valve activate, I can smell hydraulic fluid. Or atleast I think I do. So I probably do. Is this normal...

Do you recommend filling the rear tires. I have a 60" HD bucket, 7308 FEL, and 72"Landspride rear blade?

More questions - I don't know what my L3000DT came with and I wanted to buy a quart of the stuff to keep as a spare for topping off if needed. Since I don't know what's already in there, what would you recommend to get? Will these mix OK with each other?

After spending a week looking for a YM1820D or larger up to a YM2220D, I have found that there is a few dealers selling them for a few thousand dollars less than others. At least that is what is advertised on the web sites. These are with loaders and tillers. They seem to range from $5K to $9K...

I am still collecting information re. the 3054 Kioti. I have not found any information explaining the shuttle transmission. I understand that it is excellent when compared to the conventional transmission offered by Kubota on its L3000. Can someone explain how it works? I will really appreciate...

I am getting closer to buying a 3054 Kioti with the Shuttle transmission. The trouble is I don't know how this is different from a regular clutch/gearshift (Sliding Gear & Constant Mesh) transmission offered by Kubota on the L3000. All of the comments that I've heard from Kioti drivers are...

While talking with the dealer this past weekend (he has both Kubota and NH), he mentioned that he's going to a meeting soon about a new Kubota "L" series. He suggested that the new series might be Kubota's answer to some of NH's spiffy "ergonomic" innovations; e.g., the nice swiveling seat, the...

Another pricing question. I am able to obtain Ford A plan price for NH33D. Price is 16,808 including delivery. This includes FEL with 60 inch HD bucket. No other attachments. FEL costs 3100 (after 300 rebate which ends this week--this may have been a ploy to buy the NH, not sure). Is this...

I have made my mind up on a BX22 with a 54" mmm. What should I expect to pay? I'm located in SW Pennsylvania. Any suggestions on where to buy? Thank-you

I'd like to order a few oil/fuel/air filters - I think that I can get a better price even with shipping over the Internet, though. This is for a Kubota L3000DT - do you have any recommendations for parts at a reasonable cost? Thanks.

Wow! My next door neighbor let me use his tractor to mow my now 5ft (in spots) grass. First time ever using a tractor. Of course he's spoilin' me, as it's a Case 60hp machine pulling a 10ft cutter. Which is much bigger than i'll be able to afford. oh well. Dang that was fun. seein 10ft swaths...

Hi all, Well, I chose R4s for the puncture resistance...but would have ordered them anyway as a good compromise tire. But...I see the Goodyear 12.4-16 R4s that came on my Kubota B2910 are only 4 ply rating. For some reason after reading posts here on TBN I thought they would be 6 ply. Worst of...

I have been looking seriously into buying a B2910 Kubota for my 15 Acres of property I just built a house on. About 7 acres are wooded and the rest is grass/brush. All of it is hilly, with very few areas of open flat ground. Some of the hills are quite steep. I am going to be mowing several...

WOODS MULTI-SPINDLES: Where\'s the catch? Hey, I want to maximize my cut width given a to-be-purchased tractor in the 40-45hp (35-40pto)range. I'd really like to go with 7', but everywhere i turn it seems that my range is 6. Then I saw these: WOODS MULTI-SPINDLES Model D80 & DO80 Belt Driven...

I just built a house in Indiana on about 15 acres. About 7 acres are wooded and the rest is grass/brush. All of it is hilly, with very few areas of open flat ground. Some of the hills are quite steep. Having never owned a tractor, I can't decide how much tractor I need. I am going to be mowing...

I am in the process of looking at box blades for spreading topsoil for a lawn and stone for a long driveway. I believe what I need is a Box blade, I've used them before working for a paver. We used them to level off areas and spread the base (crusher run). I managed to get quite proficient...

I have a B8200E and the steering box has more play in it than the manual says is max. Has anyone ever adjusted one of these, and if so, how do you do it?

If you guys can bear with me I've got some real basic questions. I recently bought an L3000F and it's my first tractor, so I am a real rookie. First off I've had a tough time attaching implements. The 11.2 24 tires have a tread width of 40.2 in. making it real tight. I'm having the...

Hi everyone! Need some advice on how to take a couple feet of hard stuff off the high side of my pond. I want to bring the level of the earth down to about a foot above the water level. The summer before last I had a guy come in with a bobcat, but he could only get down so far and had to...

Ordered a Kubota canopy for my BX2200 from my dealer last week. Came in yesterday. It took a couple of hours but I finally got it on. $376 + $75 for freight + $18.80 tax = $469.80.

A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the answer to "Where do pets come from?" Adam said, "Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me every day. Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome here and it is difficult for me to remember how much you love me." And...

HI! Not yet 10 hours on the new Kubota B2910 which was delivered on Tuesday. This morning my van would not back out of a parking space and I realized I was pushing down on the floor with my heel, rather than on the gas pedal... Is there a message here? Perhaps the Hydrostat syndrome? Is...

Just tried out a used 2910. It has 66 hours on it and was returned when the guy that bought it had a stroke (not tractor related I think :} ) Anyhow, it has an FEL. a 60"mmm with a vacuum system that is rear mounted and a 2 year warranty. It is a 2002 model. I need it for our place which is...

I have been reading the posts on this forum for a couple of weeks and this is my first post. I am planning to purchase either a Kubota compact tractor or a Magnetek crawler with a backhoe and FEL. I would be using this equipment in the mountains of NC. I would appreciate receiving input...

I've been looking for maintenance parts - oil/air filters, etc for my L3000DT. In many cases I find listings for L3010DT/GST. Are the parts the same? Dumb question probably, but I'd hate to assume anything here. Thanks.

I need your help here guys...I have a coworker here who thinks he knows everything about everything and if it's not made by GM or IH(Case) it's junk. He says that the Kubota 3010 is available in two wheel drive and that's why they load the tires because you don't need loaded tires in 4 WD.I...

Hello, My father has a large outdoor gas fork truck. The Gemmer gearbox that steers the truck is broke. This gearbox is the worm gear type. I am having trouble locating anyone that know anything about these and where I can find parts to rebuilt it. Does anyone have any leads? Thanks, Rick...

I recently purchased a Kubota L3010 with a Kubutoa fel. The bucket was rolling forward. I took it back to the dealer and the Husco valve was fine so they changed the seals in the bucket. Worked great for about a week and now leaks down a gain. Doen't leak fast, probably two inches every ten...

I just found out my step-father has a 1936 Unstyled John Deere B that has been sitting at my step-brothers for years. My father, who has done numerous restorations, and myself will be hauling her up to his garage in a few days to start the overhaul. If I fix it up...it's mine. I can't wait...

I looked at a JD 790 last night, nice tractor and good price but, I felt gramped sitting in it , not much room to move around, the FEL control was pressed against my thigh and I see where this could be a problem. The orange one seems to have more operator room(2910-3010). This is one of the...

HI, I won't repeat the question I posted in the general owning/operting forum. I just took delivery of my new B2910 this afternoon. I like it a lot. Put three hours on it today after filling the rear tires...some pictures are posted in the general forum too. But my real concern is the HST...

Well, happy to report my new one arrived today! Funny that a New Holland truck would deliver it…but the owner of the Kubota dealership also has a Blue store at a different location. Can't tell you how different this is…always been a pick and shovel guy till now. The other day we stopped at...

HI, Got the new B2910 , today...and put three hours on the backhoe loader. One thing that surprised me is that on a slight grade, when in gear and the parking brake NOT set, the tractor will not stay stopped, but will drift either back or forward, depending the whether the tractor is facing up...

My wife's family ownes 10 or so acres in NY. Last year wer rented a Kubota B21 and 4' rotary to keep the field open. But it took 12 hours and cost over $400. Buddy of mine is looking at the small Kubota compacts and I have seen the ad's for the commercial ZD21 landscape mowers. I'd like...

I have a small garden plot, but the soil is mostly clay. I've read a portion of a book where the author claims that worms are the answer to all of mankinds questions. He specifically seems to think that worms can transform poor quality soil into black dirt. How do you get worms to come to your...

Due in large part to this forum, I decided to buy a B7500 with FEL, toothbar and boxblade (delivered late last Thursday), and it's already proving its worth - during my first hour of use, I managed to take out three large clumps of prickly pear cactus in just a few minutes, a chore which would...

I'm going to look at a used 790 (100 hrs) this afternoon and need to know what you think of the 790, pros and cons. How does it compare with the orange and blue ones?It has a factory FEL and I plan to use it for general property work and some snow removal. Thanks

3PH Backhoe rock n\' roll HI, The new Kubota B2910 will be delivered tomorrow. I checked it out today and had a chance to work the backhoe. I noticed some "play" in the system, that caused the conecdting point at the top link bracket to shake, rattle and roll. The dealer said this was...

I need dirt now and a pond later, but ... Our property is generally very level and drains well, but there are a couple of areas at the entry from the main road that need some general fill and grading. We will have a 500ft x8 ft driveway that will need about 6" of fill before we add base and...

I do not own a FEL but I rented a Bobcat last week to move some dirt. Very cool little machine. I was in total control of it by the end of the day; it was actually pretty easy to figure out. it seems to be somewhat less versitile than a tractor, but it did the trick for what I needed. I think a...

Okay...I know you guys have made plenty of posts on this subject but I need some info. I'm helping a friend put up a pole barn and am going to rent a 3pt phd to get the holes dug. My question is what auger length will fit the tractor. I stopped by the rental shop and looked at the unit he had...

OK, so maybe I\'m stupid.... So I'm sitting here, happy as a clam with my new L3410, thinking about the 4.5 acres of lawn I'll have when I'm done clearing these nasty swamp birch, and it hits me. I've been told a power rake is the greatest invention since sliced bread, and it is the tool for...

Hi, I am looking at a used (400 hrs) 4100 hst with a new JD QT loader. I cannot go to see the tractor b4 purchase. Dealer said it has been repainted (sunfade) and looks great @ $9500. Good deal? Good enough to accept some risk (I will have to have tractor shipped, it's too far away) If so, I...

Heh, I read the various messages and see similar posts to this one. Sorry for the overlap, veterans. I am tractor challenged, having bought my first 25 acre horse farm (ok, it's a field now). It's slightly rolling, little to no obstacles (other than fence) and I want a tractor to mow, and...

Just a follow-up on an earlier post about my L3000 heating up to redzone on the gauge while mowing. The tractor had 33 hours when I bought and the dealer also provided a 50 hour service before I picked it up. Unfortunately he did not clean the screen or radiator, bit of which were clogged...

Howdy, I have an opportunity to buy an 850 in execellent shape, however it doesn't have a loader and I really want one. The owner has a 650 with a model 67 loader and says he will put the model 67 on the 850. Will it fit? If not, how much does a used loader that will fit cost (I think the 70 is...

HI, IN a previous post Rick Jay recommended the following book. I was fortunate to find it at the library...it is a good book. I would recommend it to others just like Rick did. Rick said: P.S. If you don't have much experience with loaders and backhoes (I had none!), I strongly recommend the...

HI, I will take delivery of a Kubota B2910 in a week or two... Since it costs as much as a car...my gut feeling is that I should title it like a car. I understand it is possible to do that here in Pennsylvania. The other option is to just take the certificate of origin, what ever that...

HI, I saw windshield washer fluid on sale at a place that is going out of business, looks cheap at 80 cents per gallon. How hard is it to fill one's own tires? I am getting a Kubota B2910. Any idea how much ww fluid I need to do two rear tires? I know I saw a table listing this info...

I had a Yan Mar tractor which had a lever to hold the clutch pedal in when it was going to sit along time youmay want to check on your 950.

Hi again everyone, Don't ya' just love us newbees? I understand from the archives and from helpful responses from all you helpful people! that the the pucker factor for mowing across a slope becomes large at about 15 degrees, and that more than 20 degrees may cause a scream or two in many...

I have a TC25D with the standard turf tires. I am starting to notice shallow depressions in my yard where my tires ride from cutting the lawn. I am always careful not to cut the lawn when the ground is wet and soft (not like we've had any rain around here anyway), and I try to avoid running...

Scorpion Tractors formally known as Millennium Tractors has recently introduced two new models. First, they have introduced a 30hp hydrostatic transmission tractor. This model is equipped with a Kubota engine, Eaton hydros, and a middle PTO. If your in the market for a deluxe tractor and want...

Just wondering if there's any sledheads out there in tbn land! I've got a cat zr 580 efi...if any of you are thinking of getting one i'll tell you it's just a blast. I've got my new bx with my blade so LET IT SNOW!

Just finished 2 first days of brushogging and post hole digging with the L3000. Tomorrow I try out the FEL for some culvert work. It would not be possible to work on our property without it, and after getting some prices for mowing, fencing, and dirtwork, it might even pay for itself (someday )...

I've been comparing the New Holland 7308 FEL (fits TC29D/33D) and the Kubota LA402(fits B2710/B2910). The breakdown is as follows: New Holland vs. Kubota Lift height to bucket pin - 100.8" vs. 82.3" Clearance w/bucket dumped -...

The way I understand it, a pony motor is a small motor that gets the larger main engine started. How does it work specifically though? I have heard about vintage tractors with this feature, but have always wondered how it works. Does anyone have a picture of a pony motor mounted on a tractor? Is...

I went to a sealed bid sale last week, and naturally had to put in a few bids on things I just couldn't live without. I really didn't figure I'd actually get anything, after all, I havent since I bought the 3 schoolbuses by accident. Well, the award letter arrived today, and I'm now the new...

Can someone please describe the use of the JD 4 in 1 bucket. Today my dealer tried to talk me out of a JD 4 in 1. He described the operation of the bucket and made it sound as if there is a second lever on the right fender that was really a diverter. He said it was a hassel to operate. He...

I tend to review the local Trader paper for cars, motorcycles, tractors, etc. I have noticed that there is a very lopsided ratio of John Deere to Kubota. In any given week there are many more JD for sale than Kubota. This is a totally consistent trend from week to week (in the S. Illinois...

Hello from the previous forum. I posted this (below) before I finished reading the whole list of old messages. So I decided to copy it here. I hope this is OK. I hope someone found all the photos in the old forum that got ejected into cyberspace. I'd like to see them. Anyway, I'm glad to...

Hi everyone, I want to be safe if I get that tractor! Rolling over is a big concern. I don't find anything published on specific brands/models of tractors illustrating things like where the center of gravity is, or what the maximum safe tilt angle might be, and so on. Now I realize why the...

Hi everyone, My guess is that Monday I will either buy or wait. The tractor is a Kubota B2410. And I guess I could defer the decision on tire ballast until later, but I would rather decide now. The dealer says that the guy that foam fills tires for them fills them so that they are on the soft...

Hi everyone, Just heading out the door for another visit to the blue and orange dealers...almost certainly go orange, but blue is just up the road. I posted a question about the MMM for a B2410 and am comfortable with buying one. BUT someone mentioned something in an answer that I can't dump...

I read a post a few weeks ago about someone driving around with the parking brake on. I thought this was odd..seemed had to do right...wrong. Count me in! Darn, I've done this 4 time already, luckily I've caught it relativly quick each time. Good news is I've found my solution... I looked under...

HI everyone, I think I have read every post in the archives that has "2410" in it...but I still am unsure. I only have about four acres to deal with, and only an acre of grass at the most to cut. I mean short weeds that looks like grass when it rains. Anyway, I worked my self up from a BX22...

I have just spoken to my local dealer, and he stated a FC salesman had been in a few months ago and dropped off a few RFM's and they were "not impressed". They claimed they were not of the quality that they expected and still had a few lying around. They claimed the Woods was a much better...

HI everyone, I am close to buying a 2410 with MMM, loader and backhoe. I am worried about the MMM. I would rather have a suspended one like on the BX22. Why a design where the heavy mower runs on the ground with littel wheels and rollers? My grass area [actually short weeds mostly that looks...

Please help. My daughter and I are buying 5 cleared acres in the country. The guy selling the property also wants to sell his tractor. It is a 1996 TroyBilt GTX 20. The tractor has a 60" belly mower and has about 400 hours of use. I cannot find much info about the tractor - i know that MTD...

Follow this link for some pictures of stuck tractors. I really would like to meet the guy driving the December 1998 photo tractor. I would not want to meet the August 1998 driver, that looks like a manure lagoon. <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.profi.com>http://www.profi.com</A> Actually...

Just finished a full day of planting some oaks and continued progress on 1800 ft of fencing. I'll pay for it tomorrow, but a first day well spent on our new property. The new tractor gets to play this coming weekend. Now that we've started some small trees and a few oleanders I'm trying to...

I'm looking for a replacement fiber clutch facing for the PTO clutch pully. Has anyone got a source that's cheaper than an arm & leg?

I've wanted a compact tractor for years, and finally have the wife seeing the light! We recently bought 20 acrea and are currently building a pole building, which we will live in for some peroid of time until we build our new house-probably next year. Excavating, stump clearing and road...

Has anyone made there own soft or hard side canopy. I've been looking at my bx and I don't think it would be that hard to do. If you utilize the rops all one would have to do is make a frame for the front, some heavy viynal (sp?) seat fabric, add a roof and some snaps, old sleeping bag zipper...

The new craze being promoted here is Boer goats. Dept. of Ag. saying more than a million pounds of goat meat is imported to the US each year. Local paper ran a story saying goat meat at auction was getting $1.45 a pound. Sound too good to be true?

It's here it's here it's here!!!!! My bx2200 got delivered today and I put it right to work......and man oh man does it work great! I got mine with the front blade and it works mint!!!! I just put on about 3 hrs regrading the end of my driveway. All of my top has washed off and I'm down to...

I have some questions that I could not find answers to in FAQ. 1. Is it possible to logon from different computers? 2. If you can logon from different computers, why can't I logon from my home? (I usually logon from work) 3. I'm not sure if my pictures fit the requirements; do I need to...

Does anybody know anything about them. The dealer down the road has been selling them for awhile. He told me that MF built them. The parts will interchange. Only difference is blue paint and the red paint.

Well, I did it. Spent the last few weeks lurking on this forum and decided to get a BX22. It's getting delivered Friday. My question for you folks is wether or not I should have the dealer install a tooth blade on the FEL. Initial profects will include spreading a lot of dirt from a large...

I have an opportunity to purchase a "used" Landpride RTA1558 tiller. I have a Kubota B2150, 24HP (18 HP at the PTO). The guy is asking $1,000.00/BO for the tiller. It is 6 years old and he paid almost $1,900.00 for it new. I have not seen it yet, but he claims to keep it in the garage and...

Boomer \"D\" Owners I have a question for all of you Boomer "D" owners. I own a TC25D and have yet to figure out how to use the split brake pedal setup. How the hell does NH expect you to use the right or left brake pedal while simultaneously pressing the hydrostatic pedal? I assume I'm like...

I got talked in to helping a co-worker named Greg pour a concrete floor last Saturday. The floor was for a 20’ square shop he had built. Names have been changed but this shows what happens when pride takes over and the brain stops. He figured all day Friday at work to see how much concrete to...

For the past few years we have been attacked by thousands of mosquitos any time my family went into the back yard. Last spring ( 2001 ) I installed a bat house on the back of my shop. The book that came with it said that it usually took 2 or 3 years for bats to come to a new house. On the 4th...

Would like to hear from someone that owns or has seen an MX5 rotary cutter. It seems better outfitted than most in it's class (chains and clutch) but I've never seen one except in the brochures.

Would like to hear from someone who has some experience, or has seen and could at least comment on the JD buckets for a 430 FEL. Most interested in the 4 way. Pros and Cons verses the HD.

I'm about to purchase a JD 4115 with a 410 loader. We live on a small horse farm. I'd like to be able to dump loads of bedding directly into the horses' stalls (this would eliminate alot of manual labor), but all of the FEL buckets that I have seen are too wide. Does anyone make a narrow bucket...

Have to make a decision today. ~ $1300 for more horsepower.....is it worth it???? I know more HP is always better if you can afford it, but loader use differences - Is it decernable???

While comparing the 4410 vs the 4310 w/fwd my dealer is talking an $1,100 difference. Seems like a lot of money for 3HP difference. Would be interested in reading some opinions on this.

Brought the new Bota home today and it's funny how excited a grown man can get about a tractor .... To get everything home, we loaded the box blade across the front of the trailer, then drove the tractor w/mower attached up on the trailer. Everything fit OK, but we had to raise the FEL so that...

Atvs and Japanese motorcyles are two topics that I know a lot about. It seems to me that many people that own/operate tractors also like to ride atvs. Is anyone into atvs? I also have good technical background concerning atvs and bikes, which I am always happy to share.

I will be purchasing a compact tractor in the near future. Currently I have a selling price, for the 4WD Case D40 or the N.H. TC40 w/ FEL w/72" quick disconnect bucket, foldable ROPS, deluxe 3pt. hitch and the larger ag tires, of $18,800. Is this about right? I live in the southeast Texas area...

I was about to buy a Kubota BX2200 when I heard about the new Massey GC2300. It matches the Kubota specs like a twin brother. Does anybody know the price? I could not find a number anywhere on the web. Thanks, Dave T.

I am looking for personal experinces with gray market dealers. Do not post on this forum - send a personal note. I do not believe in posting bad things about other people on line. I really hate when one dealer bad mouths another dealer so, I don't want to hear from dealers! Contact me at...

What's the best way to get rid of them?

If my BX2200 is cold, I can start it with the range shifter in drive. If I try to restart after it has been used for a while and is warm, I have to move the range shift to the neutral position. The problem is that it is very hard to get the shifter to move to the neutral position. It takes a...

Has anyone ever seen a tractor attachment used for helping put up a fence using Hog Wire? I watched a neighbor struggling with putting up a fence and have a couple of designs in my head, but do not want to re-invent the wheel, if there is already one out there? I did a search on the forums and...

I have a Kubota 4030SU tractor, and I'm a little confused as to what antifreeze to use in the cooling system. The book says to use "permanent" type antifreeze and water. The "permanent" part is what is confusing. Must I use a pre-charged solution to prevent cavitation or not? It came with green...

Hi guys, I read the original thread and saw some disturbing posts and wanted to know why some you have singled me out and cast me in a negative light? I noticed one person said I never responded to their email. This is my first day here and saw the Ke3d and realized you were discussing my...

Well, we finally moved to the country, and now I'm looking at tractors. There is a 1989 John Deere "springer"? 1050 tractor for sale with 554 hours on it. It appears to be in good shape. His asking price is $7000. No implements, no loader, just the tractor. Sooo... is this a good price? (Private...

I think I just stumbled upon this wonderful discussion group in the nick of time. Permit me to beg your collective experience and wisdom. I'm buying a first tractor (33-35hp) for mowing, snow removal, dirt drive grading, cordwood, etc. on somewhat uneven terrain. Based upon dealer location...

Can\'t decide on which Kubota... I first want to say that this is by far the best resource on the 'net for compact tractor information. After reading posts for several weeks, I decided it was time to post. In short: A Kubota M5700 or a Kubota M6800 ? Here's the situation: I own about 15...

I recently moved into a new house on 5 acres, the lot is moderatly steep and has many rocks, stumps and over all is fairly rough. I am planing to buy the BX22 and after the final grade i plan to do most of the landscaping myself. I have two logging roads that i want to develop into trails...

Ive got a 3010 I need to widen for more stability on hills. Does anyone have any ideas. Looks like wheel spacers would run about $225 a piece. The duals are $6oo not counting the tires.Thanks

This may be stupid but as a novice tractor owner, I feel like I can ask one or two of these. When using implements such as brush hog or tiller that have height adjustments on the implement...can the height also be set using the 3 pt hitch? Another words can you just lift the brush hog or other...

I just wanted to say hello and tell you thanks for not only providing a lot of info that helped me make that first tractor purchase, but also for the high quality of the content in this site. Great Place! Perhaps a similar story to some out there - kids are getting grown and "almost" out of the...

I need some advice from you tractor experts! My bro bought a new house and wants the lawn graded due to water pooling in the front yard and also it needs to be seeded. I had 3 people come out to give estimates on the job. What i want done is the front yard of the house to have a gentle slope...

Whenever I raise the 3 pt hitch to its highest position I can hear a continuous whine, apparently from the hydraulic pump. Moving the lever slightly forward stops the noise. There is a linkage on the upper arm which is activated as the arm moves to the top of its range. It appears to me that...

Help - I just bought 9.25 acres, 5 of which will be lawn (overgrown field - swap birch, poplar, ~20' high). We will be building a house in the next year or so, and I have been looking at Compact tractors from a distance for about a year. I know next to nothing about tractors, but am very...

I am considering a YM1510D and the company is sold out of mowers for the year. I would like a loader, but the new price is a bit too high for me. I would love a Koyker. DAve T

Need a good parts source for Cub Cadet 129.

I got a price for $12,000 for a BX2200, FEL, 60"MMM, Generic Box Blade, and ag tires. Should I jump on this with the dealer or try to squeeze some more out of him. Does anyone know how much the dealer pays off list???? I think it might be somewhere between 25 to 30% off of list price. This...

I have a JD 4410 with a power angle blade for the FEL. I plan to use it to plow snow. I tried it a little on the gravel driveway for some light grading and the skid plates dug in to the drivway and made a mess. Is there any solution to this other than waiting for the ground to freeze? Can I...

I just purchased a JD 4410 and am really happy with it. I have one question regarding the throttle position. Is it normal for the throttle to back off a little? When I set it at max throttle 540 for using tiller or mower attachment, it does not stay in this position and I have to keep pushing...

I recently read a post that was justifying a 700 mi round trip tractor purchase by indicating that the buyer was saving over $4000. How can there be over $4000 dollars difference between dealers on a $26,400 purchase? In Illinois you could sidestep $1650 in state sales tax by buying out of...

Everyone says on a cold start to crank the engine until oil pressure is shown.(light goes out etc.) Well on my little 1300D I thought the sender was bad so I installed a gage. Although once stated the pressure is good (around 30 psi cold, 15 to 25 hot) It takes quite a few seconds after it...

I am ready to purchase a new tractor, the MX 5000 seems to fit the bill, but it is so new that there is not a lot of information out there. Does any one here at TBN own one, have any information on it or can give me a idea of what is a good price on one. I am looking at the 4wd model with kubota...

I bought a L305DT new in 1983. Less than 20 years later (and I don't consider that old for a tractor), I'm finding out that Kubota has discontinued making, at least, some of the parts for my tractor. What good is any piece of equipment if you can't get replacement parts. I was told by the...

Does anyone know where I can buy a new JD 4100 w/ hydro,410 fel, 54"MMM, R4s? I live in Wyoming so closer is better! Thanks to anyone who respones for your time. noelmsn@hotmail.com

I have been checking on tractor prices for a while now and was wondering something. Do most dealers charge set-up and/or prep? It is a common practice in the auto industry, what about tractors? Some have mentioned it others skirt the question. I don't want any "last minute" charges stuck on my...

Some impressive looking pictures on the JCB posts below. Can someone tell me more about them. Where are they made? Who sells them in the US? What size ranges do they come in? Memory tells me they have Sisu engines---??

I recently bought a B7300 with 320 hours on it. I hear an underlying whine in the engine noise and wondered if this is normal or something to be concerned about.

I have a bx2200 and wonder if i am able to put a backhoe on it i know you can on the bx22 but what about the bx2200. if i can what brand name it the hoe. any info would be appreciated. thanx Kevin

I am looking for info on a Mitsubishi D3250. I have only seen pictures of it. I am interested in purchasing, but don't know much about this tractor, good or bad. He says its a 1988 Model with 36 h.p. 4 whl drive, power steering. It appears to be a good size tractor. Any info you can give me will...

I just purchased a bx2200 w/ the 60"mmm and front blade. I am wondering how the 2200 will perform plowing snow vs the 7100hst. My neighbor had a 71 that i have used and it worked mint, never got stuck and it would push a ton of snow. I know the 2200 has more hp but is lighter (correct?) Any...

Purchased a BX 2200 with MMM, FL,rear blade 6/29/02. Delivered 6/30/02. After delivery the first thing was to check out the unit to make sure a of the fluid levels where at the proper levels. Decided to go out and play a little. Grass was cut already and I tried to match the mower setting to the...

I would like to have a mid PTO installed on my 4400. Is this the kind of project someone should try themself or let JD do it? I am quite resourseful but sometimes you have to know when to quit. Thanks

I tried running my IH 37 baler on my Kubota L2550 (28 pto /30 engine hp) and it baled fine, I really couldn't notice any load on the engine, not even as much as running the backhoe, but I am worried that the constant load/no load on the pto. will wear something out, that baler is a very small...

Sometimes it takes me three times to raise my deck fully. I have to push the lift handle back down and then back up each time the deck stops while being lifted. I have adjusted the lift speed knob and it has helped somewhat, but not totally. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

So just when I think that some people use the API service label ( real world test of oil) and some will never get it! John Deere ( not there real name) said in there Green and Yellow book that SG rated oil would be recomended for my 4310 diesel (IE a C_ something) should have been there. What...

I just recieved the following quote in Southern Michigan for a L-3710 HST with loader and Ind. tires, $21,875. This includes the $1400 rebate. This sounds a little high, especially with the rebate.
