I decided to hook up my tiller for the first time this year, well first ever, and when I started to hook the driveshaft to it, it seemed to long. Can anyone tell if the driveshaft is to long or do I have the tiller attached to the 3 point hitch wrong? I can take more pictures tomorrow if need be.

My dealer is suggesting that I consider a hydraulically controlled quick-tach blade for my 430 loader in addition to the HD bucket. I will be using it for snow. Is this necessary? Any thoughts are appreciated.

Any thoughts on the quality of the Frontier GM1072R (72 inch rear discharge) finish mower? I am set on the following machine: JD 4310 4WB EHydro 430 loader ballast

This one is for all you BX2200 mechanics out there. I tried to add a strobe to my BX today - I have to mow along a roadside at one edge of my property and am tired of drivers not seeing me. This is one with a mag mount that I planned to have sit on the top of the ROPS. To cut a long story...

Have been looking for a tractor. Thought I was down to the 2210 or Bx2200. Then saw the X595. I have three acres of flat ground. I do have quite a lot of stone drive way, some landscaping projects and a good sized garden (20' x 30'). Primary use will be mowing. Both are made by Yanmar. The X...

I would like to know if parts are readily availble for chinese tractors. I was told that Homiers Farm Pro Tractor was the same as a Jinma and that all chinese tractors are the same but have different product names. Does any one have a 25 horse homier farm pro tractor? And would you recommend...

I'm purchasing a tractor from a dealer that carries Rankin brand Implements.

Hello. Thanks for everyone's help. The Bar tires and the turfs are ordered and the tractor will be delivered in the morning. The dealer called me and asked about setting up the 60 in mmm. He said they were having problems getting the deck adjusted with the back hoe on the tractor. He said it...

I am new to this board and tractor ownership altogether. I currently have a very small piece of property that I mow with a manual reel-mower (it's a great device, really!). I have always wanted a good garden tractor, but have never had the use for one (or the money). I am now moving to a new...

Hello My understanding is that there are some slight differences between the folding and non-folding ROPS B7800's. Besides the ROPS and the mid-mount PTO is there anything else? I saw mention of cruise control as well. Can anyone confirm these differences? Ben

Hello, The BX 22 that I ordered has came into the dealer, which I’m very excited about, but it has bar tires instead of the turf tires that I requested. The dealer will swap the tires for the turfs that I wanted without any problem. He also told me I could keep the bar tires if I thought I could...

I really like the quality of Woods equipment. I'm just starting to wonder if they have their act together. I have a gto tiller, gbc box blade and lbc landscape rake for the bx2200. The tiller works great, but someone at the factory left a gasket out when assembling the rotor shaft bearing cover...

My new TC33D was delivered today and it is everything that I had hoped for and more. I only wish that I had bought it sooner. Rides and handles like a dream and mows grass oh so nice. The supersteer is the cat's meow for mowing and the front end loader is the trick.

Hey Guys, While I'm tapping into the forums knowledge, anybody have a source for metric woodruff keys? I ordered some two weeks ago and still nothing. My tractor is down hard until I obtain one. Sheared the key on my hydraulic pump. Thanks again for your time

Thanks nuvz in Laramie, I guess what I have is as370d then. What I really need is a service manual, have to do some work to the engine. Any ideas?

I'm looking for suggestions/sources for turf tires. I bought a set of 8X16 rims for the tractor. I'll match the fronts once I get the rears squared away. I've reviewed the archives and found them helpful in calculating rolling circumference. I'd like to hear both good and bad results if you...

Just received a rude surprise on my 2 month old BX. I went to flip the seat around for backhoe work and the center pivot bolt for the seat mechanism snapped. The bottom of the bolt and nut vanished in tall grass. Of course, I'm far from home and dealers and have to finish the job today. Can...

I dont know about all of you but I have had two New Kubotas and both of them would drive me nuts when the tractor would idle and the FEL handle would rattle like hell. I finally found an easy fix that works really well. I took the controll box apart and installed two thin (about the thickness...

Anyone heard of 80w90 being used for hydraulic fluid? My brothers iseki powered bolens says to use 80w90 gear dope. But because the FEL and 3pt work very slow, he wonders if he can/should change to regular hydo fluid. Any thoughts?? Thanks

What happened to the C.T.O.A. web page,dicussion board? I havn't been able to get on it for 4 or five days,did I piss off the wrong company or what? RICHARD GAUTHIER

Took the tractor out to do some tilling. Had put a temp gauge on a few days ago. After tilling about 15 nmin I notice the temp over 250 deg. Tractor did not get hot. I pulled the gauge and checked with boiling water and water boil at 212 on the gauge. What going on??? :(

Well a Hydraulic cylinder has started to leak on the backhoe boom of my JCB 1400B but it still has loads of digging/pulling power. Of course its the cylinder that controls the up and down of the entire hoe and goes up inside the backhoe boom so I cant see exactly where the leak is coming from...

I know I read a posting on TBN about the safe degree of slope operation for skid steers, CUTs, dosziers and the like but can't remember where. Can anyone point me towards the correct posting or maybe repost the info? Thanks in advance...

OK, so I'm wavering here. I haven't pulled the trigger on the BX2200 yet and (silly me ) I stopped by the local JD dealer and took a look at the 2210. The 2210 seems a bit more comfortable than the BX for my 6'3", 240lb frame. Price for the comparable products put the JD about $800 higher...

I just took delivery of my Kubota B2910. In order to run rear tire chains in the winter I will need to find rear tire spacers that are about 1 inch thick so the chains dont rub my inner fenders. I know some fellas who have made their own. Does anyone know where I can buy spacers? Thanks for...

This question is a little off the Yanmar subject, but I thought I'd ask seeing as how there is a lot of experience here. My brother has a Bolens, diesel, 4wd, with Iseki power. An underhood sticker says the hydraulic system uses 80w90 rather than hydro fluid. His FEL works rather slow and he...

OK out there. How do I get rid of Armadillo's. I have a house in East Texas. Golphers have been the only problem so far. I've only owned the land a year. I just started to treat the lot for grubs. I've heard that if you get rid of the grubs, the golphers will go away because you got rid of...

Hey Guys, How does this thermal start work. Their is a small reservoir over the engine and a key setting to activate I assume, what is the function.

I'm sorry for anyone that got offended to anything i said it was very immature of me to say things like that and i usually don't. What i meant to say is $2500 isn't that much profit compared to the other Nigeria scheme which wants 50k or something. Ah never mind the thread is done with so moving...

I've read through a bunch of stuff here (and laughed a LOT at the "what have you run over" thread!) and found a ton of information that I'm sure would be useful to me IF I knew what I needed to know to start with! We have bought a bit over 10 acres. Roughly 6 of this will be turned into...

Hi All, Well over the weekend I tried out my bush hog for the first time. The grass was about 2 ft. tall and since we only go there on weekends, I was behind. I have a long story but really need some help so here goes. When the dealer brought out my tractor (TC40D) with the bush hog (Rhino...

Happy Memorial Day everyone. Attached is a .pdf file Memorial Day story about someone special to me. I hope we never forget our troops, even those who had to embark on unpopular missions.

I'm close to making my final decision on a tractor purchase. I've always been partial to the Kubota and now must decide on which tractor is the best considering the work I want to do and my spending budget. I have 10 acres steeply sloped (about 45 degrees I guess) that I want to clear...

I found Kioti on the web first and got some offers from out-of-state. I then found a local dealer (30 miles away) and told him I had some quots from out-of-state and I gave him an opportunity to match price and equipment. Interestingly enough, he is reluctant to match the price even though...

Hi All, First of all, what a great site. I have been browsing for a couple of months. It has definitely helped in making my decision a more informed one. I am purchasing a new tractor and I have narrowed it down to a the JD4110 w/60"mmm,fm blower,FEL. I have been wavering back and forth...

After reading much here and elsewhere I finally decided to attempt removal of my BH from my new B7500 ( 14 hrs). The instructions were somewhat useful and more that a little insufficient. For others who have not attempted it here are a few things to keep in mind. I almost busted my PTO pump when...

Thanks in advance. I have been reading the past threads on the Salsco Chippers and wonder if you guys think they are worth buying and how much they cost. I have about 10acres of woods that I would love to clean up. I am getting tired of burning brush piles. I would probably use it 4 or 5...

Hi, I posted comments before about the 4115, which I ordered from my dealer (great guy) with several attachments and a soft cab. Since then, I've had occasion to look at the 4210 and 4115 side-by-side, and tried to envision how each would work on my property. Both would do the job. Each has...

Local dealer has a TC29D, hydrosatat with a Woods FEL,R4 tires, and 830 hours on it, that's all I Know right now, plan on calling them soon. So any guestimates on a good price?

Somewhere on one of these boards a member wrote that he attacted a chain or chains from the tractor to the bush hog so the deck dropped to exactly the same height each time. Sounds like a good idea but I don't remember the points to attach too. Someone willing to help me out. Will appreciate the...

Hi, This is my forst post but I have done some reading here and on other forums. My problem is that I am looking at my first tractor purchase and don't know what to get. My needs are as follows: 11 acre property (flat land, Goshen, NY) Divided as follows: 2.5 acre- house and lawn (more...

Any idea of what a good price would be? Suppose to be a 92 model, but looks older. The backhoe stabilizer arms go straight down versus extended out at a angle. Seems this would not give stability when using the hoe? Anyone had any experience?--Ken Sweet Sweet Farm Equipment Co.

I have been shopping around for the new JD2210 but not having much luck. I have been to three dealers, called four others inquiring about the JD 2210 but seems like they are either extremely high priced or unavailable. The prices I have been quoted with just a 62" mower are over $11,500 while...

Let me preface this by saying that there is nothing funny about an animal getting run over in the road. It's something that we have all learned to live with as a species that zips around at upwards of fifty miles an hour almost everywhere we go. I guess all of us have had it happen. A squirrel...

I have grown to trust Hercules, our duroc boar, to the point that a few weeks ago when I discovered he had broken out of his pen I just walked out there with nothing more menacing than a loaf of bread to bait him back into his pen. I was so wrapped up in thoughts of what I would have to do to...

Does anyone know the front/rear gear ratio on 1500D. I'm doing some research on the Goodyear web site as far as finding the correct front to rear tire sizes to keep everything from winding up due to improper tire sizes for 4WD. There is an easy formula to use if you have that ratio. They say...

I have a YM155D that my father purchased new around 1980. It is still in descent condition but seems to need a head gasket. Can see bubbling around head gasket. The dealer is long gone and the manual was burn't in a fire. This isn't a grey so I am a minority and don't know where I can get...

OK, so I'm getting a BX2200 with a 60" deck and a snow blower. Most of my trailering needs will be for a ~ weekly 5 mile drive from my house to my parents house to do their lawn or driveway. What do I need to haul this combination? I'm guessing from what I've seen that a minimum would be a...

My neighbor has two small JD riding mowers. I have two small Craftsmans. We get along good, but he's always on me to buy a JD and scrap my two old junks. Yesterday he was in his front yard with the hood up again. This time with a bad starter. $400 for a rebuilt one at the JD dealer. As i...

Hi, Sorry about the confusion, the 8256 used the D-481 engine. What exactly are the differences? Are all D-400 series engines basically the same? What are the differences? Thanks- Doug

The going bid at ebay for this hydraulic top link was $41. when I posted this. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2532237958&category=26193 Hydraulic top link

I have been combing through the posts and using the search function to find two posts that showed pictures of two neat ideas. They were: 1) someone welded a rack on their box blade to put their suitcase weights on to add weight. This seems like an excellent idea? 2) someone fabricated an angle...

I believe I am going to put a trailer brake controller on my tractor. I move good sized trailers around the property and think it will be safer than relying on the tractor brakes. Has anyone done this ?

After spending some time here and looking at compacts, found that a subcompact will do what I want. Have 2 a's and small driveway to remove snow from and want to till garden and a little lite landscaping. Went with the kubota bx2200, think I will be happy with it a little pricey 12900, but think...

I recently found an old lawnboy "deluxe 21" model 8256. the mower is from around 1980. Really nice shape with a bad engine. Bearings are gone and the piston is scored. Looks like lack of oil. Has the D-400 engine. Anyone have an engine or shortblock? Would really like to get this one...

I have a B7200HST. When changing the hydrostatic fluid, I noticed that it was milky looking when drained (I had run it a few minutes to warm it up). I put the new oil in (clear from the can), ran it a few minutes and this new oil also had a milky look which I determined was air in the oil...

I just bought a used post hole digger from a buddy of mine. The owners manual says it was made by an outfit called Farm Equipment Distributors somewhere near Cincinnati. My buddy bought it new from a dealer in Sebring, FL. I can find nothing about the manufacturer with a web search, other...

Your opinions please. Kubota B2910 harvest rental with 71 hours. Full warranty, and 0% financing. Includes FEL 60 inch bucket and box. Out the door price $17,469.

Just did the 200 hour checkup on the 'Bota. Last night I did a search of filter prices posts and concluded that going to the dealer was going to be expensive. Went to my dealer (Hoefling's in southwest Indiana) this morning. Bought the Kubota oil and air filter. I was ready for the total (even...

Down to the wire. Any opinions or adivice on Kubota B2910 or L3101 compared to Kioti LK 3045 or DK 35? Gentlemans farm 15 acres with hills. Pasture is 8 acres. Needs rough mowing, hauling manure, post holes, general stall clean up, light grading. There is one Kioti dealer 50 miles away...

I realize it would vary by implement, but does anyone know the max weight the B7500HST can lift with the 3-pt hitch? I'm interested specifically in a box blade, so the weight would be pretty close to the tractor.

Was talking to a Kubota dealer and he made a point the Kioti was in big trouble because of a lawsuit. What's up?

Down to the wire on buying a rental return. Gentlemans farm with 4H steers, horses, and goats. Pasture needs mowing (7 acres on a 15 acre parcel some hills), fire clearance, postholes dug, stalls cleaned, manure moved and some light grading. I like the size of the 7800 and 2910 but see only...

Is there such a thing as a mid mount rake ? All the rakes I see are for 3 point hitch. I plan on getting a 3-point rake but thought a mid mount would do a better job having wheels before and after.

I've been lurking about the site for a while so I believe I will ask about this. I have a 6060 AC with FEL and am thinking of either trading it on a 5205 JD with 4wd and FEL or similar tractor. Which will handle the implements I already have and be a much handier size. Or keep the 6060 and buy a...

Anyone know where I can get suitcase weights for my YM1300D? I am currently using two IH weights but they are only on loan and are too big and don't fit right. Thanks Hondo

Well I am just as happy as a pig in slop, so I had to post a pic of my YM1300D at work with my 4' Box Scraper. I was grading around my buddies pond at his hunting camp. The wheels are black becausebefore that the little beast was buried in mud over the front wheels tilling up muddy trails in the...

I have a Kubota Mx 5000 with kubota loader 852. I would like to mount a bradco backhoe, but bradco doesn't, nor do they ever expect to manufacture a subframe for the Mx. Does anyone have a 35 - 50 hp Kubota with a subframe for the bradco hoe that they could send me some detailed pictures of...

I've seen some great ideas for a basket on the ROPS, but where do you guys stick your bottle of water or cup of coffee? I'm looking for some free space on my 7800. Any ideas? Thanks, Frank

I have been searching around my area for a nice green or orange tractor. Orange seems to give you more for your money but are not as readily available. I saw an ad in this classified for a BX22 at Emerich Tractor in New York advertised for $14999.00 did all the appropiate paperwork over the...

......childhood. When I think back to and listen to the tales that are swapped back and forth regarding childhood daring do's, it amazes me that for the most part, at least in my neighborhood on the outskirts of Austin Texas, major injuries were almost non-existant, at least before the age of...

Hi All, I have been helped immensely since coming to the forum and ask for some more help. I got my 7800 about two weeks ago and so far have been impressed. But, I just noticed I don't have valve stem brush covers on the rims. I could have sworn I saw them on the 7800 on the lot. Are these...

First Post, New to the forum. I bought the 1250 last fall with only 250hrs on it from a private individual. It's condition went along with the hours, excellent mechanical shape and clean. Only one problem. When I use my MF1700 finish mower the tractor overheat pretty quickly. I have done...

I have narrowed it down to these. They are the "same" price around here and just can't make up my mind. I am getting it with a FEL and MMM. The JD dealer is pushing the 4010 but I like the size of the 2210/2200 better. I have 2 lots. 1 is lawn, 2 is field both totaling 5 acres. The only reason I...

I am in the market to purchase a compact tractor, FEL, and some attachments. The dealer is offering me a 15% discount from list. Is this about right? Any comments on the biggest discount I might expect? Thanks.

I just took delivery last night on the ck20 that I have been waiting for for a while. Man is it nice! I saw a track earlier that mentioned the availibilty of ck's being skimpy but Brian Kerr has 3 three call him if you want a price . His was the best I found. He was also great to deal with and...

Currently I have a 1/2 inch AllTrade air impact wrench and it does not have enough torque to handle all of the maintenance on my Kubota. I would like a recommendation of a good general purpose 1/2 inch impact wrench that has worked well for maintaining your tractor. I don't mind spending the...

I'm hoping you guys can help me out. Per my earlier post, I was planning to take delivery of a Hinomoto N249, but, after 3 weeks, I am still being delayed with parts availability problems form the dealer, yet he won't tell me what the part is. I'm planning on going elsewhere, and am looking at...

I have a BX2200 with cat 1 3PH. I noticed today after having problems getting attachments on and off that the bottom arms are not the same height. See picture. Okay, so there's a turnbuckle type adjustment on the right side arm link that allows you to adjust it up or down so now it's level...

I have a B7200 HST. At high RPM,S the engine oil runs out of the crankcase breather tube. Any thoughts as to the problem and the remedy.

Any idea on how deep of water you can cross without damaging anything? Tractor is a Kubota 3130. My normal river crossing is only about 1 ft., but the beavers have built a dam downstream about 40 yd and the water is now about 2 ft, but no current. Picture shows low water condition. In the...

Over in the Tach installed on BX post, JWE had made up a chart of the Engine RPM vs. the rear and mid PTO speeds for the BX-2200. I reformatted it and also made an abbreviated version, with the idea that it could be laminated and stuck on the dash. He then suggested that he </font><font...

Hello, I'm new to this forum and it's GREAT! I've been in the market for small tractor. I've looked at Yanmar's and Kubota's. I've got a chance to buy an Iseki TS1610. I don't know much about this tractor, but if anyone has one I'd like to have some input. Is it dependable, good working, etc...

I have just ordered a 5' Cat 1 Howse Box Blade from Northern Tool. I know I am doing this backwards (should have posted first, then ordered ) but does anyone have any comments on them? Thanks, Matt

There's a metal flap above the my FEL control lever that you can flip down, where it then prevents the the control lever from going up (forward) and lowering the bucket. My manual doesn't say anything about this. Anyone know what that's for? I can see a safety device for preventing you from...

I was giving my B7500 its first 10-hour FEL greasing and I noticed on each of the hydraulic cylinders there's a ring around the piston that slides freely up and down it. It looks like it's intended to keep crud out of the cylinder, but it won't when the piston is extended and the ring has slid...

Hey guys, I was inquiring to see if anybody has one on a small sub-cut? It weighs 550lbs so weight shouldn't be a problem. I was wondering if I could use the backhoe hydraulics to run the power angle as like a remote set-up. I e-mailed Harley and they said they have quite a few out there on the...

I would like to get some advice on what brand and size of box blade and brush hog for my L3830. The implement Limitations are 72in 926Lbs. for the rotary cutter and 65in 880Lbs for a box blade. I believe my tire width is a little over 70in with R4s. I'll have to measure again. Any advice...

Hey everyone, I've been using my 186D for about 5 months now. I got it just before the big snow in Md. It has a problem. It starts great runs fine below 2000 rpm, but as soon as I throttle up it bellows black smoke and the engine knocks. I changed the oil and it still acts...

I will be purchasing a 30hp 4wd tractor (probably a JD 4310 ehydro) with FEL. I will need to cut a "lawn area" of about 3 acres. My ultimate plans call for a zero radius mower but with the house being built, etc, I can only enjoy so many toys. My question concerns using a belly mower versus a...

I finally tracked down a 60" MMM for my 670 and it has all the attachment brackets, but I simply cannot figure out where the lift arms for the mower attach to the lift. I haven't ordered the manual for the mower yet, but I've figured out everything except the lift attachment. I was told that it...

I don't know what practical purpose chinaberries serve, unless it's just to make more chinaberry trees. For all I know they could be edible. Or maybe they are a delicacy for birds.Who knows. But when I was growing up, they served one purpose and one purpose only. To make someone squeal in pain...

I'm thinking on getting either of these machines, equipped with the hoe. What are the differences? Is this size machine really too small to dig a septic tank, or do light dirt work to prep for a foundation? Your insights are appreciated!

I am going to redo my yard. I need an attachment to break up the soil. I need it to get loosened up good. The ground is hard and my york rake won't do what I need. I thought about getting a tiller for the tractor. Would I need a tiller or a pulverizer? I think the pulverizer would do a better...

It's getting close to purchase time now and I'd like some thoughts on what 3 implements YOU feel are must haves. Two extras that are very handy would be informative as well. The FEL and RDFM are already on my list, but do to budget constraints, I'm getting real finicky on any others that I add...
