Hello, I purchased a used PHD with no Operators manual. My question here is regarding lubrication in the gearbox housing of the PHD. There is a "screw in plug" on the top and a "screw in plug" on the upper side of the housing. I am assuming that the top plug is for filling and the side plug...

I have one acre to mow. Will the TC18 with a 60" mower make a good mower. How is the manueverability? Does it make sense to own one for just mowing?

Go look at the Kubotas and look at the way they bolt there wheels on,that is the solution in my opinion.They use lock washers on each lug nut and 2 of the wheel studs are installed from the back side (inside out) and nutted on the outside providing a positive lock.

The wheels on my 1500D are currently reversed which puts them in the wider orientation. I understand from previous threads that this is bad for the front axles. The problem is that the valve stems, which are currently pointing outward, would point inward if I correctly orient the wheels. I...

For you guys with B7500's, how do you like the quality of the cut of the mid mount mower? I have both a BX2200 and a new B7500, but let me tell you the quality of the cut with the BX2200 does not compare to the B7500. The B7500 deck is too heavy and it leaves too many wheel marks and does not...

Well, I have my tractor back now,I have a new loader but have not been billed yet,I have not heard from John Deere either.Last week I called John Deere with my complaint(in regard to the loose wheel bolts problem) and was given a case number and was told John deere would get back in touch with...

Am I missing something? I've been looking at getting a compact tractor for sometime now. I've been back and forth between JD and Kubota. I was at the JD dealer the other day looking at the 4400 which is the mid frame size tractor. I then went to the Kubota dealer and looked at the L3410...

I recently wrote concerning one tire filled with ballast and the other side not filled. I am interested in filling the remaining tire myself. I have looked at previous postings and have noticed many postings of people using antifreeze with water or windshield washer fluid to fill the tire. I...

60\" MMM Mulching Attachment for 4100 I just purchased a mulching attachment for my 60" MMM for my 4100. It would have been nice if the dealer had told me it did not come with it when I purchased the tractor but that's another story. My salesman wasn't too swift. I have not installed the...

I have a lot which is in bad condition. It is uneven, rutted, and bumpy. Mowing it with my TC25D and 3pt bush hog finish mower takes a lot longer than it should because of the roughness. I would like to break it up and level it, then plant new grass seed. The dirt in my area of NJ is very...

I have a good friend that is willing to sell his JD 72" 3pt finish mower (JD 272?), he wants to get a nicer Woods mower. The mower is probably 15 years old and in good condition. His initial offer is to sell it for $700. I think this is a bit high and wanted to get a little input before I...

I just test drove a JD 4310 at my local JD dealer. This beauty was smooth as silk compared to the JD 4300 hydro I tested last year. The 4310 had 4wd, folding rops, e-hydro, match speed, mid pto, R4 tires, dual selection valve and svc. The quote for the machine was $16,000, $3100 for a 430...

Is it true that Kubota manufactors two different versions of thier tractors, Commercial Vs. Landscaper models? If they do, how do tell them apart?

It seems to me John Deere are overpriced compared to Kubota,my reason for thinking this.(I am talking compact tractors). I have a big John Deere Dealer that sells tractors and JD dozers. Down the road is a Kubota dealership that has probably 20 new Kubotas out front. Well last summer I was at my...

Anyone know anything about these Indian Tractors? They have a website yet no mention at all in here. Are they like the Chinese tractors? Where are they usually priced compared to Kubota?

I have a new BX2200, when I use the box blade for pushing brush piles I keep getting hit in the back with brush or sticks (I have already dented the right rear fender and tailight) does anyone have a pic of a rear brush guard or should I just be more careful?

I recently took the right side wheel off my JD950 to sandblast and repaint it. Air filled new tire. When I took of the left side wheel, I quickly noticed that it was liquid filled. As I stabilized the tire (like trying to tackle a Dallas Cowboy lineman) and my heart started again, (I can...

Newbie here, just bought house with three acres of land, about 1.5 acres mowed, the rest meadow. It is an old house so we have to put quite a bit of time and money into the house. I have read many posts on great tractors, but the reality is we don't have 4000 or 5000 to spend. My question is...

I just looked at a 82 6100e it has 800 hours with deck mower and tiller for 3000 was wondering if that is a fair price. The only thing wrong was the 3pt would not pick up it would set there and all of a sudden it would pick up if you put it back down it would do the same thing.was wondering if...

Hi all. I'm considering a NH TC 35 or 40, and I'm pitting it against the comparable offerings from Deere and Kubota. I'm a little discouraged by some of the posts I've seen on this forum re: quality contol and engineering shortfalls on the Boomers. I'm very impressed with NH's loader design...

I need to flare some steel lines for a hyd project.I have never used a flaring tool on steel lines so has anyone ever done this?Will a plummers type tool work ok?

A buddy of mine bought a salvage L2550D with less than a thousand hours he'd like to repair, but we'need a parts source for the stuff. I would expect from the dealer it will not be practical, so we are looking for used stuff. SN is 52003, Don't know year. It is 4WD with a BF400G loader. A large...

I thought the B7100 was 4WD but I'm looking to buy one locally and the owner says its a 2WD Hydrostat model. Did they make a 2WD model? If so, what years? Thanks for the help! Cheryl

Recently repainted my L185, found all the decals at the dealer except the 1"x 5" DIESEL decal for the hood which was unavailable, does anyone have any idea of a source for these decals? Thank You

Well I really screwed up this time. I just bought my 1510 about a month ago. This Friday I bought a new 36" WAC tiller for it. When I hooked it up I noticed that the PTO shaft was a little on the long side but I was too eager to try it out. I made my first pass on the garden and at the end...

I noticed that one of the new JD models has a neat feature- an AC outlet for running drill, hedge trimmers, etc when in a remote location. Does anyone have advise on how to do this on a BX? Can you get a cigarette lighter for the BX? and then use a simple inverter? Or is there other inventive...

tractor size/ 6\' finish mower I recently sold my Oliver 550 and need to buy another tractor. I have a 6' 3pt finish mower, and need to move some snow as well. I'm lost when it comes to sizing the more modern tractors. Can't buy new yet and would like to stay close to $8,000-$10,000. I'm not...

This site is like taking a college course in Yanmar tractor studies. I read it every day and learn a few new things and am reminded of many others, like that flashing radiator light. That happened to me last summer and sure enough, it was a very dry reserve fluid tank. Thanks guys for so...

In past post Ive read the L1500 had a 2 cycle desiel engine and today I got a L175 kubota manual that says its a 4 cycle desiel.Is the L1500 & L175 engine the same? Or is the L1500 really a 2 cycle?

I live right next to a golf course. Part of the 3+ hours I do mowing, there is a chance that me or even worse, Bota, could get hit by a golfball. Does anyone know how much a repalcement hood on a BX2200 costs?

I Have a ym2000b that has a temp. gauge and an idiot light that looks like a radiator. I don't read Japanese so I'm not sure. During the winter the light would come on for a while then flash until the tractor warmed up. I didn't worry about it because I knew it wasn't over heating. Yesterday...

I'm trying to figure out what can be wrong with my SCV on my 850. I put a model 75 loader on my tractor, I am having problems with the roll function of the bucket. The two levers which control lift and roll feel differnt from each other. I can lift and lower fine. I can roll back fine. I cannot...

If a John Deere area represenative is stonewalling you and will not contact you about a problem,who do you call? What is the proper route to follow on a warranty problem if you can not get help from the local level?

I'm getting ready ready to clear out an overgrown field with a TC33D and a 5' "light duty" rotary cutter. ( I also have a FEL with HD bucket and tooth bar). There is a bunch of really nasty "sticker bushes" 4 to 5 feet tall with most branchs less than 1/4 inch thick and maybe up to 1 inch at...

My old International had big tubeless tires filled with water. When I got an occasional flat, I just plugged it and refilled it and was on my merry way - no problem. I have a new Cub Cadet which was shipped with water filled TUBED tires!! Why inner tubes?? I found one theory - they can use...

Anyone ever had or heard problems with the JD 4000 series wheel bolts staying tight? If so, or you know of any posts of people having problems please let me know. Thanks

I am just about to take delivery of a new Kubota L3010 and was going to store it in the garage but it is really just too big. I have an abandoned sheep shack (very happy to get rid of my sheep!) and was going to store it there? It will have one exposed opening but will have a roof and 3 walls...

My old Farmall C has about given up the ghost. I really like the ideal of getting a new tractor. Never had one. I mow 25 acre horse pasture, maintain 1/4 mile of driveway, plow 2 acre garden. Guys will the L3000Dt fill my needs? I want to know from the people who use them. Not the...

This AGCO and the corresponding Massey are both built by Iseki in Japan.

I think I understand but: Is the digging depth rating on a loader mean "at a time" or " that is all she will do"? ex: 3" digging depth.

Does anyone have experience with using Woods loaders on an L2500 or similar. How much did you pay? I can get a new weathered unit (sat over the winter at the dealer) for $3200 installed. Is this good? 5' bucket. Sorry I do not have the exact model number. Thanks

I am in the final stages of selecting a new Kubota tractor. I have choosen a L3710 HST with R4 tires and a LA682 Loader. My question pertains to the bucket for the loader. All the dealers in my area sell the LA682 Loader with the standard 66" bucket. Kubota's literature also list an...

I live near Atlanta and was wondering if anyone knew which dealership near there might be the best. Also what would be a good price on a BX22 with 60" mower and FEL. Thanks for any help you can give me.

I have a L3010 Hydro that has an intermittent high pitch squeal at idle while sitting still. It did it since it was brand new. Doesn't seem to be related to anything. Does it for a couple of seconds then a few minutes later for no reason does it again. Almost sounds like a dry rubber seal or...

I just got a L1500 & ordered L175 manuals but until it gets here,there is a lever below the lift lever that seems to be 5/8" round steel & bent like a old time motor crank.It dont seem to do anything? Also does anyone know where to buy a new tach cable?And do I need the comperssion hooked back up?

I'm in a quandry. I am about to purchase an L3010 with FEL. I would save $1600 by buying out-of-state, even with the delivery charge. Is this worth not having a "close" relationship with the local dealer. I really like the local dealer. As I understand it, any Kubota dealer must handle...

Got an L1500 in for repairs today. Probaby one of the worst we have seen. The steering wheel goes round and round without turning the front wheels. The exhaust manifold is smashed. The engine is barely visible under the grime. The bonnet is bent . But it starts, runs, and sound OK. The owner...

Does anyone know if they make a trencher that could hook to a bx2200? That would definitely help my problem of no backhoe.

I would like some info on YM195. I can buy one for $4500 w/ snowblower and belly mower (both 60"). Since I'm new to Yanmar, is this a 1970's model? Can parts be easily found? Is this a good price? Thanks for any info provided.

Has anyone out there put teeth on a BX bucket? How about short forks 18" to 24" on the bucket to move brush and small logs? doggman

BXers: I hear that a standard 4' rotary cutter is a bit much for the BX 2200 to handle weight wise. I am down to the final moments of purchasing a tractor and leaning towards the BX over the B7500 for it's superior lawn mowing capabilty and ease of changing the MMM. Is the BX marginal when it...

On my L3710 I hear a distinct "thumping" sound coming from the right rear wheel. It normally happens while operating in reverse, but I've heard it going forward too. Any ideas?

I went to a JD dealer to get a price on 5420 4WD. The price was around 31,500. I got on JD's web site and discovered, the dealer gave me list price. Does anyone know what the normal dealer discount is on JD tractors? Surely, they don't get list. I don't think they want to sell tractors!
