can someone help me track down my no ignition spark problem? I have a Craftsman 18 hp garden tractor. It was running fine until I flipped the mower-deck switch to on. Then the whole thing just quit. I think I have a bad safety switch somewhere, but there must be a half dozen of them. Any...

I have recently dealt with Alachua Tractor in Alachua Florida regarding a TC30 with loader. The owner, Tim, provided good information and reasonable prices up front with no **. TC30 4WD 9x3 Trans w/Ind tires and Woods 1008 Loader $13,400.00. I think he said $600 more for the NH loader. While...

Hi, I have a 2210 that has developed the "common" toplink plate hyd. oil leak that is related to the 3PH operation, which causes the seal to loosen and fail. I called my dealer they informed me that I have to pay for pickup/delivery! I called JD Cust Service and they said the same thing, but...

Howdy All. We did our 50hr service this weekend, and had a couple of observations/questions/comments. First, we did all the (JD) noted service EXCEPT we did not replace the suction side filter. We spoke with our dealer (Barnett in Western WA.), and they said they never replace this at 50hrs...

I am not able to find the lever to shift my tractor between 2 and 4 wheel drive. Is it a full time 4 wheel drive set up? I know it is in 4 wheel drive at this time because when I make a sharp turn with out using the brakes the front wheels dig and slip in pulling the front around. Thanks Ralph

Wanted to get some quick opinions on this subject from any other "northerners" out there. I am purchasing a B7800 and was wondering if I should have this installed while it is in the shop being prepped for delivery. Am quoted a price of $38 with installation of $35 - seems very reasonable...

Going to be starting this project soon--need some advice. We have a barn that is approximately 16 by 30. There's a loft above. I want to insulate, finish and paint the lower level so that it can be heated and cooled (as needed) throughout the year. My questions mainly revolve around vapor...

Hi all, My L3130HST has a problem that I can't figure out. Don't know if I'm missing something obvious. Here's the deal. Bought the tractor with a loader and the Kubota backhoe (4690). For the first time this weekend, I went to take off the backhoe, which went OK. But my 3 point hitch does...

There is a blue beta in a little bubble shaped bowl on the back bathroom counter. I don't think I've ever used that many b's in a sentence in my life. Anyway, it belongs to my daughter. On a daily basis I pass this bowl, peer in and wrinkle my nose.....ewwww. It's stinky, it's dirty, it needs...

Dumped a 24 lb bucket of feed in the dirt in the shed. This stuff is really fine, almost like cornmeal. Fred was watching. "Whatcha gonna do now...?" He asked grinning. I put my hands on my hips and then I was inspired. I went around and opened the hen yard door and then went back to the shed...

I noticed on Ebay a company out of Newton NC that had a tiller called Corriher. Anyone know anything about them?

Anyone have any info or prices on these? Found a clean one with 700 hours. Are they an older model? Also is there anywhere on the web that has used tractor prices? Thanks!

I recently purchased a CK 20 with a KL120 FEL with a 54" bucket with separate tooth bar and the toothbar looks to me to be for a heavier duty bucket. The bar itself is 2" shorter then the bucket and fits real bad on the cutting edge of the bucket. My dealer says to add some washers to each side...

here is a picture

I have a Kioti CK20 with a KL120 FEL with a 54" bucket. I ordered the bucket and a tooth bar when I ordered the tractor and just now received the bar and it is 2'' smaller and dosen't fit over the edge of the bucket very well at all. Looks like they sent me a bar for a heavier duty tractor. I'm...

1910 stalled / won\'t start I purchased a Ford 1910 (1600 hrs) from a local dealer a couple of weeks ago, with help from people here. I've been trouble free since, BUT, today seemed like gremlin day! First problem was I found the exhaust cracked and leaning just below the muffler after it makes...

I have a MT180H, that all of a sudden it won't go forward or backward. I have eliminated the foot throttle as the problem and am now wondering if anybody out there has repaired this problem and could give me an idea of what I'm up against. Or how much will it cost to take it somewhere to...

The owners manual shows a drain plug in the bottom of the clutch housing, for draining water after operating tractor in the rain or washing. These tractors sit on the dealers lots for weeks sometimes, before being sold. This spring has been very wet, to say the least. Has anyone ever checked...

I heard some loud noise outside and thought it was something going through my garbage. The noise was real loud and I thought it could be the black bear my neighbors have seen. NATURALLY I have no working flashlight so I go out and don't see anything. Then I hear a commotion in the barn so I...

Greetings. Thanks to all the advice here, I felt confident ordering a BX2200, FEL, MMM, Post hole digger, and 50"bush hog rototiller! I popped $250 for the mulch kit; not sure how well that will work. Inquired about the rear mounted remote hydaulic kit, and it was $450, so I declined that...

What\'s the best way to store a Post Hole Digger??? In the past, I've seen some nice 3 pt implement dollies in the forums for back blades and tillers (even for a chipper)... I bought a Post Hole Digger and was using it today.... So, what is the best way to store a PHD? Anybody have a...

I will post a picture later in the day (after dark here). The backhoe wasn't in, but the dealer brought the 4310 MFWD eHydro with the tiller on it. He will come back and get it when the backhoe gets in. Just a few pictures as I get rolling here. Thanks for all the information and...

I have 145 hrs on the BX. I have just developed a problem with the power steering. I can slowly rotate the streering wheel to the left and the front wheels don't turn. If I turn it quik they will turn. When I mow I am constantly turning the steering wheel to the left. Turning right seams to work...

Hey gang, Wanted to know what folks thought about the difference between a rotary mower (probably flail style) and a disc mower. (run off a B7800) I was trying to find an exiting thread about this.... Primary use is for a couple of acres of reed grass. Some of it is fairly soft, about 3 feet...

To \"NY Trainer\" Ref. \"Post Hole digger for BX\" I'm sorry for putting this in the post format but, If the person named "NY Trainer" could please contact me via E-Mail or phone I would like to talk to you about the post you made on the digger for your BX. I'm going to have to buy a new one...

I tried the fix Jerry G told me about for my MF 1250 overheating problem. It helped a lot. However, I still need to run with both side cowling off to stay out of the overheat zone. Still seems to me that having the muffler in the engine compartment adds to heat buildup regardless of how good...

I've been reading TBN for the past couple of months and I am impressed by the amount of useful information that is contained here. Like so many others before me I have finally convinced my wife that I need a tractor and she has agreed. Now it seems like the hardest decision is deciding what to...

I'm afraid to leave the extra bulb and fuse packet in the compartment that it came in. There is no bottom to the compartment and I'm afraid that it will fall through and get lost. There isn't room to put it in the tractor tool box with the tractor tool kit in the box. I'm thinking of...

Hi. I was planning to buy a tractor and some dirt tools and recover part of the costs by doing part time work. Called my insurance company and they said with a $1M liability, 3 part time employees (my kids) and NO SNOWPLOWING, it would cost $100 a month..... It would cover the theft/loss...

What's the best position to put the FEL bucket in while the tractor is parked and/or being stored. I prefer to position it flat on the ground for a couple reasons. For the time being I have to leave the tractor out in the weather (hopefully building something soon) and putting the bucket flat...

My 1610D is grinding under a load in 2WD. It goes away if I slide the 4WD lever forward. It started with the tractor in first gear. It seemed to "pop" half way out of gear and proceed to grind. It never got worse so after a few months I forgot about it. Yesterday it started doing it in...

If anyone is considering purchasing a tractor or parts from CBP please read on about my experiance with them. I got my 49th Email from Steve at CBP today concerning the tractor I purchased . I have never gone thru anything like this before. What should have been a very easy process was near...

I have read this forum for a few months now and have been really impressed with the useful information and assistance you have given to others. Having said this, I have a dilema... I recently purchased a 13.5 acre lot (1/3 wooded, 1/3 pasture, 1/3 lawn). When the house and barn and garden are...

Having been lurking on the Forum for two years now its time to ask the first question. I have a BX2200 with 127 hours on it (purchased in March of 2001) and I've decided I can use a front loader for a variety of landscaping chores. I've been quoted an installed price of $2500 (+ tax) by the...

The L4330 was delivered on June 12 to our horse barn. One shameless plug for Byrd Tractor in Manassas, Virginia. David, our Sales Rep, did a wonderful job, and came out to the barn for a couple of hours to orient us on safe operation, FEL removal, maintenance, etc. I operated the tractor for...

Hello everyone at TBN! I have been reading posts non-stop for the past two months and have finally joined the mix. I currently have a 1991 Belarus 400A tractor that I use to maintain my property. I should say I used to use it to maintain my property, it has been sitting in the middle of one...

From the Warren Tribune Chronicle Report: Tractor death appears accidental This is the first time I've seen it with an 80 year old woman. I cringe every time I see young children riding on the fenders though.

Just took delivery last week. Ordered the tooth bar from Carver's. Only have 3 hours on her so far, but if it ever stops raining, she will be put to work. Thanks to all at TBN. Your posts and comments lead me to the B7500hsd.

Is there as much changing of transmission/gear fluid on a manual transmission as there is on a hydro? I didn't know if there was a difference between the two transmissions for scheduled maintenance intervals. I would think there wouldn't be as much maintenance on a manual versus a hydro...

Is there as much changing of transmission/gear fluid on the B7500DT as there is on all the Bx models' hydrostatic transmissions? I didn't know if there is a difference between a manual gear box and a hydro for the scheduled maintenance intervals? Thank you for any information.

Hi, I am new to the group. I have a YM 186D. Sometimes, when turning the key to "start", I get the "click" sound from the solenoid. Battery and wires are all fine. After turning the key one or two more times, the starter fires right up. Sometimes, it will even start up on the first try. After...

The BX2200 on the lot had a NON-Folding ROPS (as I now learn all do). Will the BX22 folding one fit it? I can't get the unit in my shed without folding the ROPS. I have the skills to take a non folding one and make it fold if I have to, which will likely be cheaper than paying for new...

I've read here that some implements don't fit on a BX2200 due to short 3PT arms and that some of you have changed to older model arms that were longer. If I'm buying a new 2200, should I try to get those longer arms right off the bat, and size my implements accordingly? My assumption is...

I am in the final stages of a Kubota B7800 purchase and am trying to decide on which way to go for a mower and tiller. Funds are running short. Am I just throwing my $$ away going with KK? I have appx 2 acres of mowing to do (small pastures and around the barn). No wild brush, only grass and...

Jake took off about noon yesterday to go hunting for a hog. I knew he would be back, it was too hot to sit out there waiting for a wild hog to come along, so when he snuck up on the back porch and leaned his rifle by the door less than thirty minutes later, I was not surprised. What did...

I understand that the 7308 is the perfect match for the tc-30. What about a rhino fel, i understand it is the same product and make as the n//h ??? Is this a bad move, I have just about ordered to tc-30 thanks joe b.

On Friday, my new L3430 arrived! Over the weekend I put 12 hours cutting my pasture. The machine worked great. I am glad I went with the HST. Late Saturday evening, I decided to attached the BH90 hoe. First time took about 45 min to remove the 3point and make minor boom adjustments to place...

Narrowed down to these 2 units, both in FWD Questions: 1. what is "sliding gear" transmission? Is it syncro? Manual tranny is what I want. Are the JD and NH both "sliding gear"? Do they "shift on the fly"? 2. JD is 4 speed with 2 ranges. It appears NH is 3 speed with 3 ranges. Is this correct...

I am planning on purhcasing a 4310. I am unsure of pricing. After reading the discussions here, I was thinking of purchasing eHydro with Speedmatch and Cruse Control, Mid PTO and Rear SCV with R1 tires. I want the heavyduty Loader with the removable edge on the bucket. Price is $19980. They...

When I read the "black streak" thread it reminded me of something I've been wanting to ask. Because we have been tied to the house for over 3 years caring for a 99 year old Mother-in-law, the poor motor home has been sitting a lot more than is good for it, especially in the Florida sun. I'm...

Just finished the 50 hr. on my bx2200. Pretty much a breeze to do except it took a little time to get the UDT in. Yes, per the dealer, I used standard UDT in the bx. He said that they use it, but it seems that the bx doesn't especially like it. I am trying to get caught up between the rain...

I am looking for some plans for a 3-pt device that can use a reciever hitch. I thought i saw some here on the site, but maybe not ................ thanks joe

Was reading archives and found a thread on the red transmission fluid. I have a FX32D with red fluid and the japanese hydraulic filter. Was going to change the filter and was wondering if the red fluid is ATF and if so if it was dexron or Type F. Felt kinda light so I was thinking it maybe...

Looked at a new BX2200 last night. I forgot to look; does this unit have ports for mounting external hydraulic cylinders? Obviously there is something for the FEL, but didn't know if there are others. If not, anyone know which model bigger would have to go to get external ports for remote...

The ten series has not been out all that long but I can't help but wonder what might be next? I'm sure Deere is currently working on something. If you, as an owner could provide feedback on the prodcut line what would you suggest? Just wondering what others might say. Here are some of things...

I just recieved my new 3pth. 48" core aerator from GPC Metal Products. Very nice unit from what I see so far. I do have one problem though, the frame tab spacing ( The lower link mounting tabs that hold the cat 1 pins) is thirty inches wide without the pins installed. With the pins installed...

Has anyone bought one since my last post?.. I still have not made up my mind or found anyone around houston that owns one. I still can get a n/h tc-30 for about the same price. thanks joe

I noticed a small leak at one of my steering cylinders. This doesn't bother me too much, but I was wondering if this is something I should report for warranty work now or wait to see if it gets worse. There's been no physical damage or impact to the cylinder, so I would assume it's a defective...

Has anyone bought a new 790 with a FEL and a BH with it. I would like to know what you payed and if it was 4WD???

I have a JD4310 with a 60" MMM. I feel the MMM height adjustment could use some improvement. I called my Dealer last fall about the metal tab they use to keep the height adjustment knob from rotating. The tab bends easy. My Dealer called JD and asked about it. I guess they had taken a...

Is the Frontier brand (Woods) worth the extra $$$ over the TSC brand.

I hit the 50 hour mark and went to the Dealer to get the supplies. YIPES. By the time I got he 12 gallons of Super UDT, the front Axel fluid and filters, I was out about $350. If you plan on doing this at home, make sure you have plenty of oil pans for all the oil. It just keeps on coming...

Well, I finally bit the bullet and bought a new tiller. After a 2 month search for a used one here in Wisconsin, I gave up and went with a new 5 foot KK II. It took me a while to justify it with the CFO, but after doing the math, figuring 2 rentals a year it will only take 4 years for it to pay...

Hi..Looking for the keepers that are in the pivot pins on the backhoe.It's about 3" long,5/16 diameter and goes thru the pin,holds the pin in and keeps it from turning.it fastens to hoe with a bolt.anyone know what it's called or where I can purchase? Thanks

My neighbor showed up on the front porch Sunday evening. It was raining buckets when he got here. I saw him pull up in the yard in his beat up old Chevy pickup, and Fred and I went out to meet him. I'm not going to say this man's last name, he has more relatives than Carter has liver pills...

I have about 27 hours on my new bx22. When I last used it, it seemed that the FEL was making a higher pitched noice at the end of the day. I examined the connections, and noticed that one of the hydrolic lines was leaking where it was plugged into the the FEL. It seemed like a bad angle to...

I finally got my bx22 06Jun03 I have put about 8 hours on it I like it a lot it seems like a really solid well ballanced little tractor. Daivd

Folks, looking for some tiller education here... I recently purchased a King Kutter II 60" tiller and used it w/o incident the first day. Tonight (a few weeks later, I hooked it up again and went out back to attack our hardpan). After about 30 ft, she was begging for mercy because I notice...

I have a Kubota 4330 HST with FEL on order. Should be delivered soon. I am used to fueling the old JD 950 with a 5 gallon plastic can, which works OK. However, when I borrowed my neighbor's Kubota 3130 last winter to do some snow removal, I found that hoisting that 5 gallon can of diesel up over...

Don\'t look... ...I don't have a thing to say; just wanted to see my level change to Gold.

Please help. I am new to yanmar and just bought a YM1301D tractor that I found on Ebay a couple of weeks ago. When I got ot home and started playing with it, it was hard to steer in reverse but I could do it. It would steer in forward easier. Well today it binded and would not steer at all. I...

Does kubota have york rakes for say, B21's or L35's? If they do, are they self-leveling or not? My boss says that his old (and ugly) Massy has a self-leveling device on his york rake and that no one else makes it anymore, even Massy. Just curious to know. Thanks. Blake WA

I wanted to know what the capabilities are for the bx1500. I have 3 acres of flat ground to mow and a 20'x80' driveway to clear snow from. I was wanting the 54" mmm and a 60" rear blade. I would perfer the front blade, but I know there is quite a difference in prices. How do the turf tires...

I was weeding around the electric fence yesterday for the umpteenth time. The weeder line kept breaking. The question is, is it dangerous or potentially harmful to the weed eater to replace the line with an eight-ten inch piece of say 16 ga wire? Or is there some stronger type of line to use...

I have a 4310 with 60" belly mower. Since I got the tractor I had an issue with mounting the deck but I have been able to work around it. I was going to call service and see if there was a fix. Wondering if others have this issue and if not maybe something was not setup right on mine. I have...

What is the best brand trencher ? What is the rate per foot to trench for water lines ? How fast can they trench on a deep trench?

TC33D won\'t start Dear TBNers Just got my 33D a little over a week ago and have put 12 hours on it so far. It has done everything that I have asked it to do without a problem until this evening. My son was hauling some big sandstones fron the creek up to my house to use for landscaping. He...

Yikes, Moss Road spent our money on a PT-425 (see This Link), and now I'm reading posts that say they are not currently available. The lady at PT didn't mention anything about this when I talked to her last week. Anyone have any details on this? SnowRidge

I am trying to find a 18' 7000 to 8000 gvw equipment trailer in the New England area. I would consider up to 10000 gvw if I have to but I dont really need such a heavy trailer for my B2910. I am in NH and none of the dealers in this area or Eastern MA seem to have any in stock. I ordered one...

Hey guys - just wanted to report in - I dug a trench 36 inches deep and 75 feet long yesterday for a power line to the shed building - the little backhoe mounted to the 1845 worked like a charm and even pryed out a 25inch rock - got the task done in short order Was jsut wondering - how do you...

Stopped by wallyworld to pick up oil for the 50 hr. service on my bx2200. After looking high and low. I found only Valvoline Durablend oil in a 10w-30/ 10w-40 weight that was CF rated. At $2+ it isn't cheap, but better than Mobil 1 for cost. I remember an older thread on synthetics and...

New to the board. Great information! I looked at 2 YR old BX2200 with FEL, 54" MMM, and small Kubota Tiller with 160 HRs on it. Seller is asking $12,500. From what I can guess, that is about what he probably paid for the unit WITHOUT the tiller. Since there's few to none of these used...

I learned something that I want to pass on. I checked four dealers in my general area, within 1 hr of my home. (TresCrows thats where the 3hrs. comes from travel time to and from the dealers plus wait time for work to be completed) I had an appointment sat morning at 7:30 with my local dealer...

..that I went to Friday night is a world all it's own. They sell anything from hampsters to fencing material. Whatever anybody cares to bring in. Rabbits, chickens, turkeys, ducks, pigs, goats, sheep, and on one occasion that I am aware of they overlooked the 'small animal' rule and sold a...

I see that NH is offering 0% for 36 months on their Boomer Compacts until June 30, 2003. Anyone know of what's to come after June 30? I can't imagine they'd get away from the 0% financing when the competition still has it.

Well, based on favorable reviews here, I now have a BB20-48 Midest boxblade heading my way. Does anyone here own the RB22 series Midwest grader blade? So far I've looked at the Bush Hog 35 series, which is a nice unit but not quick hitch compatable without modification. I've also checked out...

Anybody out there ever seen a Dayton brand power hacksaw? I bought it cheap to cut steel for projects. It consists of a cast hacksaw frame that slides on a hinged steel arm above a cast iron table, a gear drive with an offset pin to push the blade back and forth, and a cam arrangement with...

With a new B2410 with a FEL and a BH, I am ready for a big project. I want to build a small pond and run two feeder ditches one 500 feet and one 800 feet to catch some of the water that runs down the slopes on my property. The pond will have a liner in it so I don't think that I will have a...

Anybody have any info or photos on a L1801D? Tried the search but no luck. Supposed to be 1990 model. Thanks!

I posted this same question in the CaseIH forum, but maybe it's better suited here. Does anyone know if the CaseIH L130 FEL is the same as New Hollands 7308 FEL? The L130 loader fits the CaseIH DX33 (which is close to the same as a NH TC33D).

Does anyone know if the CaseIH L130 FEL is the same as New Hollands 7308 FEL?

Hi, Does anyone have any input on the bx1500? I didnt realize that it is available until recently. Thank you

Still learning about my new property, and all the things that I'll need to work with it, including tractors. I'm wondering what the experiences/opinions of the readers here are relating to backhoes? How many of you got one, and decided you didn't need it? How many of you don't have one, but...

Already posted my thank you's. Now I'll post the price. Equipment; TC-33D FWD Hydro, R4's, Bush Hog M246 FEL 6' bucket. $17,500.00 out the door. AL has a 2% tax on farm equip, so that's 17,156.75. On by the way, Did I say thanks to all?

I can't believe I'm about to do this. My local dealer, only a mile up the road (how's that for convenience), can't keep much in stock. He located a B7800 at another dealer not too far away and is trading to bring it in. It is being offered with the FEL, folding ROPS, R4 tires, and mid-PTO for...

Good Morning TBN I am in the market for a compact tractor and while doing a google search, found TBN. Been looking at the JD 790 4wd but after reading several post, the 4310 is looking like an option. Sure I will have "first time buyers" questions in the future.

I am looking at a 1999 790 JD for $15,000.Is this a good price? It has FEL and BH with 365 hours on it and is also 4wd.What should I be looking for because this is my first time buying a tractor.I am aloso looking at a 2001 B7500hst for $16,000.It has 140 hours on it and comes with a FEL and...

Have had the new B7500 for about a month now. Haven't done much with it but cut grass, which the RFM does a great job at. Hasn’t been any rain here since Easter, the grass hasn’t grown much (therefore not much grass to cut) and the ground was rock hard. It rained good yesterday which...

It snowed yesterday (It all melted today). I woke up this morning and it was 32.7 degrees. It did make it to the low 50s today and then this afternoon a front roared through and the temp dropped from 52 to 46 in about 5 minutes. On top of that the wife opened the door from the house to the...

Can anybody tell me the size difference between the Deere 4400 and the Kubota L3130? A neighbor has the JD 4400 and I'm curious as to its size relative to the Kubota. I can't find any specs on the 4400 on the Deere website. As usual thank you in advance.

Hi all. I am considering the purchase of a PT, but I'm not sure which one would be best for me. My house sits on four wooded acres. About half an acre is clear and I'm in the process of clearing the underbrush and saplings on the other 3.5 using a chainsaw and a gravely walkbehind brushhog...

I was just wondering if there are any Case DX Series Tractor owners out there who would care to share comments about their tractor. I am looking seriously at purchasing a DX35 but haven't found anyone yet who owns one. I was trying to find out how owners like them, or what recommendations they...

I'd like to give one HUGE thank You to everyone on TBN for sharing their wisdom, advice and experience, about selecting and purchasing a tractor. Everyone is great and the help was much appreciated. I've been lurking here for a long time and have read most every post in all the buying/pricing...

Does anyone have any experience with the 54" suspended deck (RCK54-75B) for the B7500? One of the comments about the BX series mowers is their potentially better cut due to the suspended deck. Is this other deck similar?

Does any one have any pictures of projects they have done with their 4310? Mine is not hear yet (hopefully next week) - hope, hope, hope... I have been reading the manuals online. I could print them out, but I figure I will be getting a hard copy in a week or so. In all my web crawling I did...

Looked at this tractor this evening. It has 675 hours and comes w/FEL. Asking price is $11,400 - negotiable. I am not in the used market enough to know if 675 is a lot of hours. Owner is also a Woods dealer, so if I also buy my mower and tiller from him I might be able to work a better deal...

I need to know how to do a comression test and time the ke70 engine. I bought a manual, but it dosn't show where the timing marks are. From what I have read, to adjust the pump timing requires sims. The guy that I bought the tractor from just put new injectors and pump on, and I'm almost sure he...

Hello, I have a Kubota Mx5000dt. with Kubota Loader 852 and r-4 tires. Have been wanting/researching backhoes for several months... A Kubota dealer recomended bradco, and said they generally dont sell Kubota backhoes, because bradco is a really good hoe for less $$. Have decided on Bradco...

My first post. I made the deal today to buy new 6000 4WD with Mahindra FEL. Having the rear tires filled with fluid early in the AM and will probably take delivery tomorrow. Based on the good deal I got, I will probably buy a 7FT International brush hog with it. I feel good about the tractor as...

Has anyone had any problems with there B7500hst.This includes loader and hoe

I'm working on trading my 4310 for a 4410. Wanted a hoe and a bigger deck so I decided to trade. I have it configured pretty much the way I want it. Should be ready by early July. I got the: 4410 e-hydro R4 tires Cruise and speed match upgrade engine heater (no pressing need but thought it...

Who is that man... I was watching a video tape yesterday. Jake was holding a wild kitten that was trying to scratch him to ribbons, and we were laughing as I made the footage for posterity. He looked pretty much the same in the little window of the camera, but his voice sounded like something...

My JM 284 has about 60 hours on it and since I have owned it the left side brake has grabbed more than the right. Lately the left side will lock up the wheel on just a touch of that peddle and the wheel will stay locked up until I engage the trans. Then I hear a pop sound that releases the...

I am in the process of purchasing a Kubota B7500 and would like opinions on the usefulness of a backhoe on this tractor. The primary purpose of the tractor is general loader use and snow removal. My lot size is 2.3 acres, mostly wooded. The B7500 is ideal for maneuvering around the tightly...

I recently bought a used Yanmar F 20 and know very little about it. I did check the fluid levels and found the transmission / hydraulic fluid to be low. I bought a 5 gal can of "universal tractor transmisson /hydraulic fluid . It shows that is approved for IH, Kubota, John Deere, White and...

I just got off the phone today with a Befco engineer and was informed that we BX owners will soon have another choice in a post hole digger. Befco has designed a new unit for the BX and JD2210. The unit so I'm told has a shorter main frame and yoke system that will allow the use of standard...

Thanks...That's kind of surprising. You'd think that in today's global business world, companies would learn and borrow from each other. Any idea if the MF and AGCO Iseki's are the same setup?

New to the website. Can someone give us some sound advice? Background: My dad and I are new to the tractor world. We do not have a lot of land. We live about 45 north of Houston. I own 2 acres with a 1/4 acre pond with small gullies. The land is loaded with lots of pines, oaks and some...

My 3520 idle is set at 1,200 RPM, which seems high. I can find no spec for, nor reference to setting the idle speed in the Kukje manuals. Anyone know what it is supposed to be? How about telling us your idle speed--I mean your tractor's idle speed? SnowRidge

Hi- This is my first post to tractorbynet, so please excuse any netiquette (spelling) violations by me A friend of mine and I have been researching the Kioti CK20 since it came about and for at least a year now we've test driven the kubota B7500, BX22, BX2200, etc. We've also played w/ a...

7500HST w/FEL & Hoe - What\'s a good price? This is my first post. I'm in the New England area and want to take advantage of Kubota's 0% financing. I am seriously considering a BX22. But, since BX22's seem to be close to non-existent at all the local dealers I have called, I'm now...

BOTH HAVE BACKHOES AND FRONTLOADERS STOCK FROM COMPANY. BOTH ARE AROUND SAME PRICE OF $16,000.THE B7500 KUBOTA HAS 145 HRS ON IT AND IS A 2001 AND LOOKS BRAND NEW. THE 940 JOHN DEERE IS A 1999 AND HAS 365 HOURS ON IT. IT IS IN GOOD SHAPE.THE KUBOTA WAS GARAGED AND THE JD I DONOT THINK WAS. THE...

There's a song by the same name. My Little Texas Tornado. The guy sings about this tornado like it's something he's fond of, course he's talking about a woman, but that's what country music seems to be all about. Keep 'em confused. I don't have any fond feelings or memories of tornadoes like the...

I recently purchased an I-Match three point quick connect for my JD 4610 and found out that it has a built in defect. The I-match is built out of three pieces of box steel like a square cornered up-side-down U. There are connections on one side for the three point bars from the tractor and...

What is a 2001 B7500 worth? It has a kubota front loader and a kubota backhoe with it also .It has 140 hours on it.It is very very clean. He is asking $17,000,it is worth it? What should I offer?

Hi Guys I’ve got two questions for you . I have a BX22 that I brought home last week. Used it with a bush hog to mow about an acre of field. Most of it tall grass with a couple of small bushes. (about 1 1/2" base to them) I got two flats on the first day out. My first question is should I...

I just wanted to say this because I really don't understand the logic. I called four dealers today to get a price on the dreaded 50 hr. service, check this out. Dealer #1 $160 and four hrs. of my time to deliver and pick up. Plus $ 12 tolls and fuel for 90 mile round trip. Dealer #2...

Specifically, we need a mower for the single purpose of mowing a Xmas tree plantation. We have been using a 42" low end lawn tractor, and it is rapidly showing the abuse. Our big tractor is . . . well, too big. The mower needs to meet the following: Commercial quality Hydrostatic Able to...

Hey guys I have searched all the ways I know how to find a US hydraulic filter for my FX32D. The one on it has a CAPA number but I have been unable to cross it with anything. The number is CP 175VL-35. I have located an oil filter number, but need the hydraulic reference. Also need a fuel...

Thanks to everyone on the mower in-put. The slope to mow is 25 to 30 degrees. After reading and evaluating your good information, I am holding off on the mower. Maybe I'll have to opt for some goats! Shortcut

I have a Craftsman beam style torque wrench that I have used for many years (about 30 years). I know that this is not the most accurate torque wrench in the world but I was wondering if it loses accuracy over time. It still looks like it is in new condition. How do you check the accuracy of a...

My 855 arrives today! I will try to have pics posted later today or tomorrow. Picture Gallery

My Dealer has given me a quote for a 4410 trade. It includes a 1K discount. I see no reference to the 1K discount on the JD WEB site. I did see a 400 dollar attachment discount if you buy a compact by early July. I asked if this mean a $1400 discount. He said the 400 dollars was part of the...

Any dealers in here know which Koyker mounting and hose kit I need to order for this tractor? Do I have to get the 155? or can I get the 110? I'm wondering if the 110 will reach far enough....... and if the front tires won't cause a problem,,, Does anyone in here have any experience on these?

\"Speed Control\" on B7500 HST Has anyone used the speed/cruise control on the B7500 HST? It seems to lock the speed pedal on only one of two positions, very slow or very fast. Its not the same as cruise control with infinite speed settings. As such I havent found it very useful for mowing...

BX2200 and bushhogging ?\'s about undercarriage? I read somewhere in this forum that fellow owners are having problems damaging the filters on the BX2200 while bushhog work is being done. Seems that the lack of ground clearence causes this problem. I just recieved a call from a customer...

I am thinking of building an outhouse. This one would be a usable one that I might use a 55 gallon drum cut in half for the catch area. Anyone had experiance building an out house?

Has anyone attempted building an usable outhouse?

Wondering if anyone is using Ultra Seal tire sealant from Gemplers in their tires. I'm considering using it and want to know if anyone has any experience with it. Don't know weather to go with the industrial strength or "Bullet Proof" variety. I have locust trees/thorns and occasionally run...

Hi, The tractor has been crying for a place of its own. I guess it is getting tired of occupying the space under the roof on the back of the house, normally used by people. There were no complaints during winter when the space would otherwise be unused by the two-leggers here... So, I decided...

First I would like to thank everyone here for all the helpful posts. I have been reading the board for about a year and learned alot. I think the board helped me make an informed decision on buying a tractor. Last year my dealer was stearing me towards a JD 790 for my budget, it just way too...

A universal owning/operating issue? I've noticed there is a common thread among tractor owners here. Those around us seem to suffer confusion when referring to us and/or our tractors. I have often wondered how folks who are otherwise pretty clever mix up words like work and play, or tool and...

(me and Hannah) I thought I heard thunder. It was late evening, all the chores were done, feeding complete, peaceful. That really calm time of day when the pigs graze quietly or root about to find a place to claim for the night. The goats come up to the fencline to bed down where the house...

Good Morning all. I'd like to ask some things about box blades. I've got about 2-3 acres of hard, virgin, rocky soil that needs to be broken up and leveled of in prep for grass seed. For the last couple days we have used the tiller to break it up and a back blade to move the dirt around, but...

Could anyone tell me how reliable and dependable the GT22 garden tractor is with a 60" mower deck and a front blade? Thankyou.

what will be the scheduled maintence hours intervals on a new bx2200? i would want a 60" mmm and a 60" rear blade to mow 3 acres of flat ground and clear snow from a 20'x80' driveway. Thankyou.

I am looking for one of the brake boots for my YM1802 and also would like to know the model number of a similar Yanmar or John Deere so I could order other parts from US dealers. tallyho@cox.net

I am looking for information about an Iseki TX2160. It looks like a standard transmission. I amtold that is is the same as a Bolens G174. How many HP? Is this unit a solid machine? I could use some references. Thanks,

Could anyone tell me how reliable and dependable the New Holland GT 22 and 522Xi garden tractors are with a 60" mower deck?

I just bought a satoh beaver. I am have trouble shifting gears. The clutch engages fully, but sometimes does not fully diengage. For example when depressing the clutch in motion the tractor still wants to move. When changing gears I get a grinding, most of the time. I adjusted the pedal as in...

I am interested in purchasing a new Tc18 with manual transmission. What 50-100 hour scheduled maintenance would be required? What would the estimated cost be if I did the maintenance work myself? Thankyou.

My G2160 R48S mower arrived today. I am glad I purchased a rider separately from a rear finish mower. Given the landscaping and trees the shorter wheelbase and turning smaller turning diameter made mower fun again. My usual 7-9 hour mowing job just went to a little over 2 hours! The hydralic...

My new Kubota lawnmower arrived today! I have 3 of my 15 acres in finish grass. My old Honda 38" rider took 7-9 hours to mow the stuff. Today I tried out my new mower and it only took a little over two hours. This machine is slick! The best part is that I dont have to get off the tractor to...

How much would the yearly maintenance cost be for a bx2200 with a 60"mmm and a 60"rear blade? I'm referring to the 50-100 hour maintenance schedules. Thankyou

Hey guys, I am getting ready to do my 50 hour service on the BX. I was wondering if you need to change everything (fuel filters, air filter, front axle fluid, motor oil and filter, hydro fluid and filter) or just go buy the manual. The manual says to change only the motor oil and...

Flushing and changing the coolant in my JD322. This is the gas version of the 332. I bought the unit used so I have decided to change the thermostat while I'm at it. I found out on the JD parts site that there are two available. The standard which is in stock. The other is listed as...

I bought my 5 acres last November. The 2.5 acres beside me was also for sale. There is a barbed wire fence between them, located on the other property. The dog can go through that barbed wire as if it isn't there, but that property had field wire and a gate around the rest of it, and the dog...

Woohoo! It just came through! I've been sitting here listening to the rumbles getting closer and when the sky lit up like the fourth of July I knew I had to shut this thing down and watch the sky. I was enjoying the light show and the feeling of the thunder shaking the house. Everything was...

and any recommendations on brand? Thanks

I have a homemade 8'x16' gn trailer I've had for a while. What I would like to do is put a dovetail on it so it wouldbe more usable. I bought it to haul round hay bales on but am no longer farming and would like to be able to haul tractors and such on it. What is the angle that the dovetail...

I have been a regular reader of the forum for some time, but a recent trip to my dealer prompted me to make my first post. I am buying a TC 24 soon and went to hash out the details with the dealer the other day. When he was drawing up the sales agreement, he added a $300 "UCC Filing Fee" charge...

I have a 2000 B2910 and I have broken both right and left front axles. I use my tractor for installing lawns. I pull a tiller,and a pulverizer mainly. I was bushhoging the last time it broke. Has anyone else had this problem?

My local dealer has a 2001 BX2200 with 135 hours and an FEL for $9500. How does that sound? I haven't been in the market long enough to have a feel for the used market. For a new model, I was quoted $12,700 for the tractor, FEL, and 60" MMM.

I see so many posts about how wonderful the mid-mount mowers operate, and a wonderful job they do. Is anyone having the same luck with the rear finish mowers? I hear how well the MMMs do in "thick wet" grass. If the grass/weeds are over 12" tall, would I still get the same quality? The...

Anyone know where to find a wiring diagram for one of these with the electronic ignition system? I got into one today, and somebody has been there ahead of me. When I got to it, the module inside the distributor was wired directly across the coil, and the machine has NO spark.

Okay, it's really bugging me. I drive case backhoes, so I'm a little out of tune with what controls are what on excavators. I first started driving kubota B20's, the hoe controls are like this: Left stick -back and forth= up and down of hoe -left and right= swinging of the hoe, or cab for...

I have some fairly steep hillside going down to our new pond that is going to need mowed, once all the clearing and construction is completed. As it is too steep for a tractor mower ,I have been reading about the Dr Field weed mower. Has anyone used or owned one of these machine? Any informa...

How hard is it to remove and install the belly mower on a B7800? Any pros or cons? (60" width) Thanks

garden tractors Is there any landscape rake that is suited for a 24hp garden tractor? What about a posthole digger? If yes to either of these, is a manual sleeve hitch ok, or is it better to get an electrical one?

I have an Imco Challenger II 6 finish mower. As far as I can find out... they are out of production on the blades. Anyone know where these could me found? Local places dont have them. If I cant find them, I may try to get a blade that is close and try to make it fit, but I would rather not...

I just got a White field boss31 4wd 30hp.Does any one know what Iseki modle this is = to. also would like a parts # manual. thanks.

Well thanks for all the help everyone. I just ordered the 790/419 FEL with hood guard 61" HD bucket/LX5 slip clutch-laminated wheel/Ind. tires. $14,900 What it really came down to was a nice basic machine with a good rep, local dealer,good price and financing. Suprisingly my wife really...

Note....this is a dark story, mildly graphic. I took my kids down to the river one day last summer to fish and swim. The river has gators in it, everybody knows that, but we also know what to watch out for. When one comes floating down the river it's 'everybody out' until he floats on by or...

I have a need for a small sand blaster so I can get my JD322 lawn tractor and deck ready for fresh paint. A lot of the paint had peeled and there is just some surface rust. My brother has an older Craftsman. He loaned it to someone and the delay is holding me up. Considering getting my own...

Folks, questions: 1. The electric to these RV/Campground Parks....how is it broke down from the pole and fed to each individual campsite,Is there like a substation set up. 2. The water,I have city water through the property,how about the taps,it could come off of the main header and be split up...

I dropped my rider in for service this morning, had it now 5 years. Had some leaky tires from a thorn or something so I'm having them place tubes in all 4 tires and they I told them to add that slime inside the tubes. Anyone have any issues with this? I didn't want that slime on the rims...

I am looking at buying a Kubota 355 4x4 36hp. The owner has offered the tractor to me at a price of $6500. The tractor is early 80's and comes with front loader. He said the tractor is mechanical sound but does not look pretty. My question is. are the early kubota's dependable and has there been...

Hello, I just bought a '89 model Ford 1220. Nice tractor but I never got a mid mount PTO with it. Anyone know where I might find one. Dealer up here ( Sask ) can order all the parts to make one up but not the unit as one piece. As you can guess the price gets a bit much this way. If anyone...

Silly beginners question - I get the impression that tractors (that type used for agriculture) and tractor/loader/backhoes (that type used for construction - like a 480K) share very little, and really aren't interchangeable (I've never seen a belly mower, or a 3pt hitch on a 480). Is this...

Looking for information for this tractor. Is it Grey? Was it marketed by Bolens? Has turf tires, 3 pth. Need to know if parts or manuals can be found. Does any one have one out there for references?

Next spring I hope to buy a tractor to help me deal with the small farm I'm moving into now. While I have been reading here quite a bit, I know I still have lots of research to do before I decide on a tractor. But, One thing I can deal with this year is a trailer. I currently have a 2 axle car...

I'm planning to start shopping in earnest next year, but in the meantime some of the work I'm doing makes me wish I had something larger now... So this weekend I ran aross a used Case 380 sitting in front of a mobile home park with a for sale sign on it. The rather faded note taped to the cowl...

Hello, Thanks for everyone's help with the many questions I have had concerning Kubota BX series tractors. As I have said in my previous post I took delivery of a new BX 22 this weekend, but I didn't mention that my brother in law also had a new BX 2200 delivered to him as well. The BX 22 is...

I have a yanmar 1401d that has a westendorf loader. The hydrolic joystick control needs to be replaced. The back flange on one of the valves broke. I have it working but not very well. I need to purchase a new hydrolic control, I have searched the net but can't seem to find anyone who has...

If you have a tractor and it is not registered to be used on the roads you probably have it insured under your homeowners policy. The homeowners policy covers the tractor if it is used to service your property. You then have coverage for your liability should you damage someone elses property...

Homier Farm Pro vs. Northern Tool\'s Nortrac Now that Northern Tool has lowered the price of all their 20 hp models by $1000, it has made the model with the front end loader $50 cheaper than Homier's 25 hp model with front end loader. Granted, I have added shipping to Northern Tool's price and...
