Can any one tell me the advantages or disadvantages to B7800 over the say the B2710 or B2410. I know the one thing is the Horse Power, and I understand that, but what else do you get for the difference in money. Thanks (tired of looking, and ready to buy) Fluffyone

Okay, still searching for the best tractor. Has anybody seen or purchased the New 6500 Mahindra, tested it, or know any details, pricing, accessories, etc. thanks

The "Pasquali 993" The "Vermeer S600" The "Stanley Trachorse" now post some tractors that you dont think anyone has ever seen

Someone out there must know. Will a B/L 4520b backhoe previously on a 1987 B6200 kubota fit on a 03 7800 and can I use the same subframe or is there a difference. Also what would be a fair price to pay for this unit it has 3 buckets with and has been used relatively little.

I am now officially a tractor owner (pending delivery tomorrow). The info from TBN members has been invaluable in my selection of a tractor, thank you everyone who responded to my questions! Went to the dealer on Saturday and took my CFO & lead negotiator (wife) who negotiated a nice price...

Hi all. I'm going to be looking for a good garage "package" in the near future. Was wondering if anyone has purchased the like, from who, what do you think? I'm looking at standard 24' x 24' packages with a couple windows and one man door. Has anyone bought from 84 Lumber? I would like to...

Need advice on cost of 4\' bush hog. My Iseki TS 2205 is still overheating. I did everything that was suggested to correct the problem. I now assume the problem is my bush hog is to big for tractor I have a 5' model bush hog. Question is how much should a used 4' bush hog in good shape cost...

Did everything suggested. Guess problem is bush hog is to big for tractor. Question is how much should a used 4' in good shape cost me? I have no idea even where to look for a used one. I can get prices on finish mowers but not used bush hpgs. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Don

Do I have to remove the hood/grille guard for my loader to mount a 54in front blade or will it work with it on?

I think all hour meters should be in RPM time. Example one hour at 540 pto or operating RPM =one hour. My 1969 international hour meter is this way. If your idleing it will take 2 or 3 real hours to get an hour on the meter. When you put a 100 hours on my international, its a working 100...

I have been looking at the JD 4115 at it seems to fit my needs quite nicely. That would include, yard work on about 5 + - acres and snow blowing a driveway that is about 1000 feet from beginning to end. The price was just about what I could afford to spend, and its coming with a loader, snow...

I've read the previous posts on filled tires, and I *think* I have this right, but if I'm missing something, I'd appreciate it if someone could let me know. I got by B7500 two weeks ago, and the dealer had the tires filled. Yesterday I decided to check the tire pressures. I moved the tractor...

I'm new to this forum but have been scanning discussions for a few weeks. Looking for a tractor for our 10 acres, about 5 of which are field with about one and a half acres of lawn and 4 acres of woods from which I plan to haul firewood. Mostly flat terrain located in Concord, New Hampshire...

I currently own a kubota b7500 and was thinking of upgrading to a 7800 or a 2910. I want to upgrade because I need more tractor to pull my manure spreader. My 7500 is very stable on the hilly terain that I own. I was wondering if the 7800 0r 2910 would be more prone to rollover. The center...

Over the weekend I finally got a chance to mow with my 2210 and 62C. This was my first time mowing with this tractor/deck and I was concerned about the noise level as my deck doesn't have the isolation kit. I haven't done anything about this yet, so was concerned and curious! What I found was...

Hi All, This is my first post to TBN. I just moved to a house with about 3 acres from a place with such a small lawn I couldn't justify a small lawn tractor (plus I probably would have killed myself on the slope ). The new place has about an acre of lawn (very level), a steep poorly...

Well, I was wondering why my differential braking wasn't working, and then I realized the diff lock is stuck on my 1510. The lever is up, but the wheels are still locked. I tried moving the lever up and down a few times, but no luck, it's still locked. Is there a simple way to un-stick it, or...

The Weight box for my BX22 showed up this weekend. For those wondering, the sticker says to add 300 lbs. weight for BX Series tractors and 500 lbs. for B Series tractors. Thought this might be a point of reference for those wanting to make their own ballast weight systems. Any good ideas of...

I have run into a situation that some of you may want to think about. I just installed my rear 2" reciever hitch on the BX2200 and it works great except for one thing. The hitch goes down with the mower and hits the ground on inclines digging up my yard. ( Hey I made a plow, now lets see...

For months I have been looking for a stabilizer for the cross drawbar on my BX2200. I found one that locked the drawbar to the lower 3PH arm but when I got it home it did not fit. I finally decided to collaborate with a local fabricating shop and came up with the stabilizer shown in the...

Just stumbled on this site tonight, and I gotta say its a bit interesting to say the least. Slightly different thought processes here than what I'm used to!!! Just to give you an idea where my thoughts are coming from in relation to those of this board (yes, I know its basically a compact only...

I've had a small but nagging leak in a hydralic connection at the FEL joy stick since my TC18 with 12LA loader was new about 78 hours ago. I tightened it when I got it and stopped the drips, but the foot pan under the controller was always a bit wet. When I had it in for the 50 hour service...

I have a new to me 2000 4300 with 370 hours. Everything appears to work fine except: 1. Reverse pedal (HST) is hard to operate and I am going to have the pedals changed to the new design. 2. It seems to require excessive force to engage the PTO. Has anyone else experienced this? And what if...

When I picked up my dirt scoop at Hamilton's in Ephrata, I saw a stack of these. Utility dump box I guess it could be useful if you were moving a lot of light stuff a long distance - say by filling the box with your loader, and when it's full, hitch up and go?

I bought a Woods GTO40 tiller with my bx2200. Noticed a small puddle under it after it set for a month in the garage. It seemed like the leak was coming from the chain drive cover. I talked to the dealer, and they ordered me a new chain cover gasket under warranty (I was going to install). I...

Hi All, Took delivery yesterday. Delivery was right on time and setup training was very helpful. Still haven't tried taking off the FEL or RDM myself, but in my mind it seems easy. Mowed my yard in record time and was able to get in the tight spots by lifting the mower, backing in then...

Greetings. I have been lurking here for some time now. What an incredible source of information! I recently took delivery of a new TC30. I took advantage of the 0% for 36 months. Free money! What a concept. I also bought a 60" Bush Hog rottery cutter and a box blade. Just the start! This...

Hi all. I have changed my username to TC18inNY. Anyway, I picked up my tractor tuesday and I have been so busy using it, I hadn't taken any pic's until today. What a great machine this thing is.

I used my 72" RMM today for first time. I loved it. I have R4 tires not loaded and was on real soft wet ground and am amazed the tractor did not sink hardly at all. The mower has the solid rubber tires but looks like in the manuel they usually come with air. Did anyone buy a 72inch mower...

How would one judge a used tractor's condition in relation to the hours it has on it? For instance I see used tractors for sale and the ad will say something like "only has 2000hrs"etc. Only 2000hrs is made to sound like it is not hardly used, what is the scoop on hours and wear and tear...

Hi all, I was at the Farm Tractor store looking at the King Cutter 60" Brush Cutters. They have a gear box rating of 60Hp. The salesperson couldn't tell me if that meant I must have a 60Hp PTO or that that is the max Hp I could use with the cutter. I get my Kubota B7800, 30Hp, tomorrow. Is...

When I first start my TC35D, the fuel guage stays at the same position as when the tractor is off. To get it to read properly, I have to give a couple of taps on the instrument panel, and it does just fine from then on. Anyone else have this happen? My tractor is still under warranty, but I...

Well, it's been 6 weeks of anticipation, but I called today and they will be delivering on Saturday. The hold up has been a FEL. The dealer, here in Syracuse NY, had to go to PA to pick up three because Kubota is out of them. This doesn't sound good for anyone waiting, but to those, "I feel...

I need some advice on repairing my tiller. I just received my NH TC18 and the guy "threw-in" a Howard 48'' used tiller with it for next to nothing, as-is.

I have price quote for a DX25 of $12,442. R4 tires with alcohol and water in the front tires. The dealer is to buy down the interest rate for an additional 12 months. This will give me total of 48 months @ 0% financing. Would this be reasonably good deal? I would appreciate any comments.

It seems to me that Massey is not as favored as JD, NH and Kubota. CAn some one tell me why? Is Massey doing something wrong? are they having money problems? I grew up with Massey and always liked them. I am ready to buy a compact, but do not want to buy any head aches. thanks

I have been looking at buying a backhoe for a little while. I am wondering what the difference is between a Woods and Bradco backhoe. I am also wondering which model Bradco would compare to the 6500 or 7500 Woods Backhoe?? Thanks, Knowles

Maybe all Yanmars are this way, but I thought I'd ask. To turn lock to lock on my 1500D, I have to spin the wheel a dozen or so times. It's like driving a semi. Being geared down like that will be nice when I get a loader, power steering will not be required. But the rest of the time it gets...

i have a 1986 model mf 240 i believe the engine is rated at 41 hp but was wondering what the pto is rated at. also what size tiller would it pull well.thanks for replying.

Has anyone installed an Bradco Model 511 on a 6000 series 4wd with the full frame mount (4 pt) and any idea of cost, as well as any experiences. Thanks

While mowing last Sat Iwas able to use the eHydro at its full potential. I found that in B speed range there is a compromise between how fast I can mow and the comfort in the seat, too fast is too much bouncing. There is also a spot on the drive when the tranny starts to whine. I found that by...

Long time listener, First time caller... I have had my 4010 Cut for 2 weeks, and have put 30 hours on it. The manual calls for the first Oil Change at 50 hrs. At 25 hours I noticed the oil was just starting to show signs it was getting dirty (discolored). At 30 hours it is dirty...I bought...

I have about 14 hours on my B7800 and this last tank of gas the gauge is reading full all the time while on.I have been using a plastic 2 handle blitz can to fill the tank with a short drain, wide mouth funnel. When the machine is off the gauge reads empty. Then when I start the machine it goes...

One of the only things (if not THE only) that annoys me about my B7500 is put together is the plumbing for the FEL. The tractor's stock hydraulic line, from the pump to the lift on the hitch, is hard line, with the hydraulic block in the middle. On the FEL, there are four hard line manifolds...

Hoping to get some help on FEL's. One local dealer quoted a Woods FEL for my TC18 installed for $3624 (don't know model). Seemed high to me. Another local dealer sells BH. He qouted $2700 for installation with pick-up/delivery. This is for either the M146 or 1846QT, I'm not sure yet. My...

After the difficult process of deciding to go orange over blue or green, I'm the proud owner of an L-3710 w/ FEL and HST. TBN helped in the process bigtime. Besides having a dealer close by, one reason for going orange was that I acquired an L-235 at the same time. After some fixing up...

I have a 1 1/2 acre lot (house and garage building with an acre of open field) that I've been looking into purchasing a riding lawn mower for. Or garden tractor, since it seems that what they're called now. The only problem is the price, especially considering the deck width and engine...

I've been looking into Kubota, but have found a Kioti dealer nearby who I like. the Kioti model he has that would work for me (besides the ck20) is the LB1914 (20.5 gross hp). I noticed on Carver's site that they list a deal on the "LK1914" (19hp). the local dealer swears that they've made a...

I have been practising putting on and taking off the FEL and backhoe on my 4410. A secret about the backhoe is to use the stabilizing arms to lift the backhoe off of the L-Pins and place it back in its position befor the rockshaft leaked down tight against them. Jason showed me this and it is a...

I need info on the JD 790, what are the advantages and disadvantages of this tractor vs the 4000 series? Also JD vs Kubota? I am ready to make the plunge, but I need something to mow about 10 ac and would like a loader to work with around the barn. any suggestions.? thanks Confused In AL

I just ordered a new Kubota BX 22. I'm not sure if I need any additional options. Will I need hooks welded to the FEL for logging? Does anybody have any advice before I accept delivery. I got a price of $15,375 including delivery. Should I shop around more?

Well, here it is, my L3130 hst I have used it for a week and I'm glad i got it!

Today\'s newbie question - Horsepower I have learned so much here. Much more to learn. The wife actually gave permission today to look at something new. I'm still recovering from the shock. I guess she's tired of hearing me curse at the 55 year old tractor I'm using now. Question - Are...

Can any one help me compair the BX22 to the MF gs2310? or has any one had any experience with this MF? thanks I am ready to make the plunge, my old IH 444 has played out and now I do not what to buy. thanks Confused in AL

The draw bar on my tc33d has a larger hole than I want. I need it reduced to take a 7/8 pin that most of my equipment is. I need something to drop in to reduce size but not fall out. Anyone have a good idea or do they make such a thing? Roto

I have a Tc33d and cant see s*** with the loader on. I need extra lights and I do have a canopy and was trying to get suggestions on what kinds, where to mount, anyone have pictures....... Does new Holland have a optional set for canopy? Thanks Roto

Nearly done splitting last winter's wood cutting, until another job comes along.

I'm hoping to buy a tractor soon. For now I'm just getting the FEL and grader box but would like a 60" RFM later. I'm thinking of just doing without any mower for now, since the tractor is already going to cost so much. I've read on here alot that the RFM is alot chaper than the MMM but...

Hello Does nayone know the height of the B7800 w/ rigid ROPS? Ben

One thing I found lacking on the BX2200 is an area to store gloves and tools. The tractor is so compact that that there are few places to mount a toolbox without interfering with something. Here is one solution that has worked well for me. I went to a local fab shop and had them miter a piece...

I am 15 years old. Summer is here and I am looking for a job. I have my B2910 and need a way to haul it. With my york rake and FEL it comes to a total length of 18'. The width of the tractor is 5'. I would like to have a little extra room for a backhoe attachment. I was looking at getting a 18'...

The 4110's alreay have a rear remote with a lever beside seat. This lever has a spring that returns it to begining position. I am not sure why. Anyway, what does it take to add a hydraulic top link to my tractor. Is it as simple as getting the cylinder and supply and return hoses and hook-up...

I can get a B7800 (riged ROPS, no mid pto), 5' RFM and 402 loader for $16,290 or a B7500, 5' RFM and 302 loader for $14185. I only have 4 acres, 3 to cut about 1 that needs to be filled/leveled for drainage and erosion and about 12 yards of mulch to move per year for landscaping around the...

I'm picking up my NH TC18 this tuesday. I found a 6' rear blade today (used) for $185. I plan on grading my entire lawn at 1 1/2 acres. Is this blade too big for my tractor? Would the blade be handy for grading? If you had a choice between a box blade and rear blade for grading, what would you...

I've been tring to write a review on my new Century 3045 for the last few days but it won't go thru so thought I would put it here: Century 3045, c-50 fel, dual remotes, r4 loaded, Yanmar 4cyl-40hp pto Dealer KENT POWER EQUIPMENT 220 STANLEY ST CASNOVIA, MI 49318 877-675-5368 I've had my...

Stopped at the dealer on Thursday. Barely a Kubota to be found. Seems that demand has been so high that just about everything on the lot is sold, and orders are backed up for 1-2 months from what I understand. About 8-12 2910's and L series units are sitting with sold tags waiting for loaders...

Found a 2000 NH21D Hydro, power steer, 165 hours w/60" MMM Dealer asking 9900 here in NW pA. Any Ideas on this price.

Is there suppose to have oil in the gearbox that sit on top of the brush hog? This is where the pto shaft mates to the hogs gearbox. If so, what type? I opened up what seemed to be a bolt that would be used on a oil pan and it was dry. Ive been using this for about 4hrs total, and it has always...

My Kubota 2X4 HST is having some trouble.... Within 5 minutes after start-up it starts to blow cooling fluid out the overfill tube. It then will spit out coolant every so often... especially when mowing thicker grass... I have checked coolant levels and looks fine. Unlike previous usage...

I think I'm looking for a smaller 'mowing' tractor right now and hope to move up to a bigger one latter... once I really find out what I need. I'm stuck on types of transmissions.... 1. I understand hydrostatic but are all 'automatics' really hydrostatics 2. And manual is old fashioned shifting...

I'm about to make a purchase. I've read here for a few days and gained a ton of knowledge. Thanks to everyone. I think I will order the following: Kubota 2910 (I'll try to find a 'Program Tractor') R-4 tires 60" MMM 402FL tiller-1021 reverse cut 4690 BH and an after market cab, probably a Curtis...

This is such a great message board. I just found this board a few days ago and have been busy reading a lot of the posts in my spare time. I've also been especially interested in the pole barn discussions. I am about to build my first building. I need a place for my woodworking hobby and a...

I cannot find a company in the Northwest (Seattle area) who carries any implements other then the branded ones like John Deere or Kubota, and they sell for twice the price that they are available in any other part of the country. Nobody seems to carry a range of attachments or even much in the...

My local JD dealer just ordered my new 4010. Should be here in 3 weeks. He told me that I would have no problem using the 4ft Howse cutter with the 14hp PTO on the 4010. But, after reading some of these posts, I'm now wondering if I should move up to the 4110. What do you guys think ...

I am considering buying a backhoe for my L3410. I have some work to do to as we are building a new house. I have to trench about 350' to bury the power feed & telecom entrance cable. It cost about $325-$350 a day for a Kubota Excavator - KX41 I think. If I divide the approx. price of the hoe...

Hey Guys - How is the spring going? Ok I got a question for the 1845 guys - I checked out the overheating post - but didn't see it - what does the temp gauge measure - engine oil temp or hydraulic fluid temp? because I pinned the gauge yesterday but didn't notice it at first - I guess I was not...

4010 delivered ballast box question recieved my new 4010 yesterday with a fel 60 mmm and ballast box. the machine is incredible. i do have a question though probably one of many . what material is best for weighting the ballast box. thank you ahead of time for help.

I was looking at the pedal controls and i noticed that on the TC40D on the left were thw two brake pedals and on the right were 2 other pedals one for forward and the other for reverse. I thought this was weird, the only other tractor that ive seen have this was the Landtrac 330HST and 390HST...

Cleaned my barn stall out. I was going to do this with a shovel and wheelbarrow. I sure am glad I bought this BX22 before I used the wheelbarrow. This sure was a fun task with the FEL although the floor is concrete and my baby got scratched up a bit. I used a pressure washer to clean the wood...

Hi all: antiquetractors.com has put out a guide to power shows, antique tractor shows etc. which could be printed out by state or other criteria. However, this year they don't have it up yet. Does anyone know of any other published listing of the various shows featuring antique tractors??? We...

I read in another post that Russ1 has an LA402 loader with a BobTach attachemnt. I believe this allows you to interchange forks, spear, bucket. I wonder if it would work on LA210 loader, or is it too light?

Thanx everyone for all your help. I decided to go with the used TC18 I was looking at. Seemed the deal was too good to pass up! I will be picking up the check from the bank tues afternoon and hopefully the tractor directly afterward. It's only about 5 miles down the road, so I'm going to do just...

When I heard that one cracked in the balljoint frame. after a fiew hundred hours, and that the motors last for 1500 to 2000 hrs. Is the rest of the tractor durable ? It seems like such a neat Idea. Why isn't the warantee for over I year ? How many years will a Power Track typically last ? I...

Are their any owners of a Kubota 3830 FST out there. I am interested in replaceing my JD4400. I like to hear some comments on it's use and the number of hours on the tractor. It would be nice to see more reviews in that section.

I went to a new Mahindra Tractor dealer in California He said that he is the first dealer in California. He also that that there will be three more in the near future. Prices 2810 hst with fel 17220 Box scraper 465 beedco backhoe...

I just took the blades of my mower and filed the edges a little bit. I put them back on alligned all the same way. I torqued the bolts to spec. I engaged the mower to make sure they were working. They work fine except the mower shakes now worse than it did. Why is this?? I have them all aligned...

As indicated in previous post, I am looking into replacing my 755 with a 4310. Half the time on the 755 is mowing so this aspect is important to me. I am looking for feedback on the use of the 4310 for mowing, especially the raising and lowering of the mower deck. I want this to be...

Ok, here's my second question on the 4310. My 755 stays outside all of the time as will the 4310 when/if I get one. In the winter that means parked next to the driveway ready for snow duty. I was wondering if anyone had experience with snow, ice, rain, etc building up on the fender mounted...

I am in need of a trailer for hauling my Kubota B2910 w/ attachments and also my Case 1845C. I need a trailer that is at least 18' long. I want a gross weight of 10,000 pounds. I am looking for different brands of trailers. Something to go from. Thanks, Knowles

Hi folks, I have a chance to get an aluminum side tank from a semi that's being dismantled. The price is right...free. I was wondering if anone has used one of these for bulk diesel storage and what modifications would have to be made to fit a filter/hose. If possible I would like to put it...

The last two times I have used my 1610, I noticed that after starting the tractor, the idiot light on the dash for the battery has stayed lit for about 4 to 5 minutes. No problems starting but that light bugs me. Yesterday after I was finished mowing, with the tractor still running and the light...

Can anybody with a 3130/3430 equipped with a belly mower tell me how difficult it is to remove, then reattach the mower. Hopefully much easier than my small B1550. Thanks in advance.

I am looking to buy a 4310 with ehydro to replace my 15 year old JD 755. The 755 with 60" MMM and FEL has been an excellent tractor. I read through the 4310 owners manual available on-line and was quite disappointed that the rear PTO must be engaged to operate the mid PTO. I have been so very...

Box Blade Add-On\'s Wondering about adding some more usefulness to my box blade. Is there any reason I couldn't weld a steel bracket on top of each cross member and fabricate a pole for light lifting duties? How about a mount welded to the back of the blade cross member to mount a trailer ball...

I recently acquired a Kubota L-2950, 2 wheel drive, with 700 hours it. It appears to have been well maintained and cared for. I don't know exactly how old (what year) it is. The serial # plate shows it to be a L-2950F-3, if that means anything, with a serial # of 10,000. Can anyone tell me how...

Hello, Probably buying a 2210 today but still can't get happy with the 3 bag system that uses a 5 hp motor. Do you guys like this system? Also, how long does it take you to remove/reinstall? I wish that it was possible to pull a small trailer/aerator etc with the 3 bag system in place but...

I got my new B7500 on Monday and I am as happy with it as everyone else seems to be with their 'Botas. Moved a ton of horse shavings, regraded our gravel drive, and spread sand on my lawn, which was full of holes from moles and the horses getting out. The R4s (filled in back) did no damage at...

Knowing what you don\'t know... Well, I've had my B7500 for a week and a half now- I've avoided asking questions; for one thing I can find the answer to an amazing number of problems with a search here, and secondly I'm still not sure what I don't know, and what I simply haven't figured out...

I took the first step today in making my own bucket mounted brush and root rake. The first step was easy. I bought a used, damaged 6' KK box blade for $100. The A-frame is badly bent; the rest of it is fine. I was inspired by a picture of a bucket rake I found on a search of TBN; for the...

John Deere requires API CD motor oil as specified in the manual. Mobil 1 exceed this spec. (currently CF). Mobil 1 is not designed for diesel engines so I'm wondering if I would be better off switching to diesel dino motor oils such as Delo, Longlife or Rotella or stick with Mobil 1. (is the...

can anyone recommend if these work well? Thanks

Looking to buy a new tractor and was looking at these from the posts and price. Was wondering how many hours do people have on these.If i buy a new tractor i plan on having it for many years and was wondering if they stood up for 15-20 years. Also has anyone bought one in Michigan? Thanks jake

It's been just over a month - TC18 with 12LA loader was delivered 3/28 - and it goes in tomorrow for the 50 hour service - a little late because we worked hard over the weekend and got to 58 hours. It had a hydraulic leak at the FEL joy stick when delivered, which I tightened, and a bent power...

I hope I'm doing this right. Sorry to ask so many questions, but I'm getting close to "pulling the trigger" (purchase I mean) How is the backhoe of the bx22 powered. Does it have it's own pump? I have read many times that it is very capable! But if it does not have it's own pump, is that not...

I am interested in purchasing a bx2200 or BX22. Kubota uses the D905-E-BX engine. On the specifications it shows that to achieve 540 PTO RPM it is running at 3068 RPM. That seems to me pretty high. If I have to run this little engine at 3000+ RPM to get work done. How long will engine last...

Hi, Just found this forum last night & stayed up way too late reading & reading! There is a lot of great information here! I'm moving up from my JD770 (I've had it about 14 years) & buying a 4310. I originally decided on the epowerereverser, but after driving the eHydro, I think I need to...

I have a JD 755 trator and have been looking for a backhoe to fit it. I checked with woods and bushhog and found that they make one to fit, but not a sub-frame, saying that the tractor is not strong enough to handle one. JD makes a model 7 with a sub-frame to fit. Does anyone have any info on...

Talk about a freak accident. I was working on clearing off a 3 acre lot to put a house on. I was enjoying the new chain I had just installed on my Poulan "Wild Thing", when I cut down a huge Gum tree and watched in horror as the domino effect took over. Limbs and leaves were flying. I watched as...

Anyone have problems with the retaining bracket on the side arm of the loader wearing through the hydraulic pipes to the bucket? The first time it happened the tractor had 100 hours on it and two lines were rubbed through. Now with 300 hours on it another line has a pin hole. Seems like a...

Somewhere in the posts I had read that someone "needed to learn not to use the HST pedal as a gas pedal". Is this bad for some reason? Lots of times you need the RPM's to get over something but not speed or when you are using the FEL where you need the power but not speed, etc. etc... This is...

Hi Folks, My BX22 arrived yesterday evening and I spent until dark playing, I mean working.... Never ran a hoe before so I've got some learning to do. One thing I have noticed so far is that the trottle lever on this machine works a lot harder than on the two BX2200's that I have used. Is...

I located an almost new replacement deck for a lawn and garden tractor I'm fixing up to compliment my compact. The price seemed ok considing I needed to factor in shipping charges. I'm located in central PA and it is in Ill. I was wondering about some advice about shipping what carriers some...

Spring is here and time to start on this new fence.... Though, that means lots of tractor time with the post hole digger!!! But also means lots of back breaking corner post work and hand T-post pounding ick. Were doing 5 acres for horses with 5ft high non-climb horse fence and 7 ft t-posts...

Hey gang.... I'm also new to all this. I just finally killed my ancient Homelite-Jacobsen commercial mower (sent the spark plug about 10 ft in the air) so now I'm looking at a sub or a compact for my 2 acres. I want a loader....well, because I want one, and it seems practical...of course a...

Does anyone know of any loaders to fit my B7200 (that are't in the $5000 price range)?

I HAVE A BX2200 THAT RAN GREAT UP TO HAVING 25 HOURS ON THE MACHINE. AROUND THIS TIME THE BX2200 WOULD LOSE POWER AFTER ABOUT 45 MINUTES TO 1 HOUR OF OPERATION. I TOOK THE BX BACK TO THE SHOP. THE DEALER HOOKED IT UP TO THE DYNO MACHINE, THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THE BX RUNS GREAT WHEN YOU...

Here\'s something you don\'t see very often... My Wife snapped this picture the other night while one of my band mates was checking out the new Kubota. She said she couldn't resist taking it and I, in turn, couldn't resist posting it!

I've been looking into the bx22, but am concerned that it might not have the weight and power to handle some of the jobs I've got lined up, including some riprap work, trenching in rocky soil, stump removal, etc. I can't afford a larger tractor, fel, backhoe new, so... as a possible...

I just bought my ym2210 from TripleDDD in Dodd City, TX, and I love it so far. I used this board extensively in making my choice. So thank you to all who post opinions, tips, and help. -Ricky

30\" dirt scoop on 2200 I just picked up my dirt scoop on saturday and couldn't wait to try it out. The lower links fit fine but the top link is about 2" too long..(came w/tractor). I'm thinking of just cutting it down and re-welding it.....I would need any eye to eye length of about 12 1/2 "...

All, I have been very happy with my little 186D and it runs great, but recently, when I've fired it up, the loader has been acting "jerkey" until it warms up, almost like there's air in the line. But then it works just fine when it warms up. It's not been cold her at nights and it's in the...
