I have the mid pto. I do not have the 3rd svc hyd. I do have the loader. Can I power the deck up and down with the bucket circuit then when I need the bucket use the pins to keep the deck in the up position without the hyds???

I talked to my dealer yesterday and he said I could do a 48 or a 447 not a 448 for my 4310. I have power beyond already. For the 48 it was $7800 installed with pick up and delivery. The 447 was $7200. What is everyones thoughts? I thought I could get a 448. Is this a good deal?

I have a king kutter middle buster. I feel it doesn't go deep enough. I haver purchased (2) draw bars. I want to cut shank of the middle buster in half and use the holes on the draw bars with bolts to lengthen the shank. I will need to drill (4) holes (2) on the upper half of the middle...

I have a 12" auger on my phd. I am setting 6-8" x 8ft posts for fence and trellis. What is the best way to put post in the ground? Do I dig the 12-18" holes center pinta treated posts and tamp the dirt in around it? Do I use concrete? Should I use a post driver (which I don't have...

Does anyone have a Northern Tools Post Hole digger? They seem to be fairly cheap and on sale. This is not for commercial applications, and I haven't hit any rocks yet with the rental phd. How do they hold up? My nearest dealer quoted $650 with auger. He wouldn't give me the mfg.

Can anyone tell me what this guy is doing besides having too much fun? Is it as simple as aerating the pond?

I've had the battery acid take all of the paint off of the tray and start to rust. I would like to paint this before I put the Optima in. Could or should I use like a truck bed paint (herculiner), or should I use a regular spray paint?

I have my tilt meter and have a fairly good sloop to my yard. I have already moved my turfs to the wide position in the back not the front. What is the greatest tilt I can safely operate at? Is putting the fronts at the wider stance going to help much? Should I get wheel weights? Does the...

I have been looking for a way to use some skidloader attachments on my 420 jd loader. I found this site http://www.preseeder.com/tach-all/ What do you think about my lift capacity around 1000lbs adding 85lbs or so for the adapter to use skidloader attachments which are heavier. I would like...

This isn't the most exciting project, but I am seeding and overseeding 2 acres of my yard. I am using a mix called Macho from The Grass Pad, and the reason I am posting this is I'm renting a Sukup slip seeder ($110/day) for the 3 point. I will post pictures.

I want to use some 8" x 10ft pinta treated wood posts (utility posts) for corners. I will use my post hole digger on my jd4310 and bury the post 4 feet in the ground giving me a nice 6ft privacy fence. The only place that I have found to be able to buy these from is the utility company...

I have power beyond on my 4310. The 48 backhoe is on my ultimate wish list. In the mean time I want to power a couple of open center valves one specifically for a hydraulic top link. What has thrown me is that there are (3) ports with a hose connecting 2 of them. Which port would power a...

I am interested in who makes the best middle buster and/or sub soiler. I only need a single tooth. I am wanting this for a trenching project.

I thought this article might interest some of us with diesel tractors. http://www.msnbc.com/news/803017.asp?pne=11947&0ct=-300&cp1=1

Where do you find most of your vintage equipment? Ebay www.equipment-locator.com www.ironsearch.com www.machinefinder.com I am looking for JD B's running and not styled and unstyled.

I can't decide how to use my 6ft rear discharge mower, with the top link attached, or allow the deck to completely float with the top link unattached. My problem is when I go over a crest of a hill, or down a valley my top link is either to short for the crest allowing the back wheels to come...

Just saw a x485 at my local dealer. I was picking up a handle pole that broke on my 14sb. This thing is stout. It even has a 12v port next to the cup holder. One thing I don't understand is why are the hydo pedals and brake on the same (right) side? The other side only has the diff lock.

Does anyone else think this pedal is to small to operate. I had a 2wd before this tractor and I got use to kicking the diff lock and would like to use this lock, but I don't know if my heel is to big or what. I can't make it operate without repositioning my heel several times. What are your...

Everyone better get settled and buy attachments and tractors now. These tarrifs (although needed for the US steel industry) is going to bump prices up.

First let me state that the 4310 is far advanced over the 850. I can say the 4310 has a little trouble turning my 6ft rd woods finish mower that the 850 had no trouble. I wonder if the hydro and other accessories rob alot of hp. Also my wheels on the 850 must have been spread wider because I...

Does anyone have info on adapting a small backhoe bucket on to a FEL to allow for light trenching. I would like to make an attachment that would have the small bucket 12-18" facing the tractor and when you would dump the bucket (if you had the loader bucket on) this in turn would curl the...

Has anyone noticed in the wiring harness around the rockshaft there are some wires that are not connected. One is a purple plug to male prongs and another is a crimp on connector. Is this for the implement lights the talk of in the manual?

Here is my new toy (err work device)
