I currently have a JD 3720 (44 HP & cab) with front mount 59" wide snowblower that I use for snow removal around our commercial buildings in town. It works great and at times I can bog down the 44 hp tractor. I also need to move snow at our hobby farm 50 miles away and am looking for a second...

Any special likes and dislikes about the cab? Would you consider the cab quiet? Also, about how long does is take the remove the backhoe from the tractor. I am considering the purchase of one. Thanks.

I have a Kubota L5740 (57 HP) with Ag tires. Have a Normand 82" inverted snowblower on the 3 pt and 84" snow bucket on the front end loader. Would only plan to chain up for extra deep snow since I need to drive thru it. Anyone have experience on adding chains to front only for increased traction?

I have a Kubota L5740 and am thinking of buying an Erskine rear pull snowblower. Debating between a 78" and 90" width. Located in North Dakota and for clearing snow in a well protected farm yard with trees all around. I'll also have the loader and a snow bucket up front. Both widths fall in...

The tach on my tractor is intermittent and works about 10% of the time. I've checked the connections at the alternator and back of instrument panel. I think the tach needle has warped and is rubbing against the front glass causing it to stick. Anyone else ever see this and how do I fix? Can't...

I am going to look at a 2009 JD 997 zero turn mower this weekend (72" deck, 540 hours). I have really studied them and test drove one at a dealer this past fall so am quite familar with them. Any problem areas to really look at on a used machine? I am upgrading from a JD 430 60" deck diesel...

So my JD 3720 has a rated lift capacity of 2,530 lbs according to tractordata.com. So does anyone know if a tractor's 3 point has the most lift capacity at the very bottom or very top of its lift range? I am building a hitch to lift a 5th wheel camper (2,200 lb pin weight empty) and I just...

I plan to look at a used one in next week. Anyone have one and how has it performed? Any pics of modifications necessary to use with a Cat. 1 quick hitch would be appreciated. Also I can't seem to find the specs comparison of the GM1084R vs GM2084R. Thanks.

I just received these Euro weld-on hooks from Fit Rite Hydraulics. Brian was great to work with and the workmanship is 2nd to none. The home-made trailer mover/weight package shown was always a killer to remove and install. I can't wait to use them on the rest of my 3-point attachments. They...

I might be going to look at 2011 John Deere 5075M later today. Has cab, 16 speed transmission, and JD 563 loader, 1250 hours. Anything to really look at or check? I see earlier models like this one have a 5 cyl engine and later ones have a 3 cylinder. Any pros or cons on the engines. Thanks.

Just curious if guys with backhoes on 40-50 HP CUT's are happy with them. For example, how long does it take to dig out a 12" dia tree stump? How often do you remove them to use other 3pt attachments? Any special features to look for? Thanks.

I have a Kubota L5740 with adjustable lower links. I am thinking of going with his weld-on style so I have a more solid mount and don't have to deal with the 3.5" longer length. Anyone else use the weld-on style and your comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

I currently have a JD 3720 (cab with R4's) mostly dedicated to a front mount snowblower. This summer I would like to set it up for mowing about 5 acres of a grass commercial lot (no trees and not lawn quality grass). Would most of you guys recommend a Deere midmount mower (I found a like new...

I have a recently purchased JD 3720, cab, R4 tires, with front 59" snowblower. I bought it mainly for snow removal. Next summer I would like to buy a mower and use it to mow a rural farmstead that includes some steep ditches. The ditches need to be mowed lengthwise and not up and down (trees...

My questions are: 1. My tractor is 58" wide with R4 tires, will the 60" broom get close to covering the tractor width when angled? 2. I have lots of sidewalks that go right up to buildings. How close can you actually sweep next to a building? 3. My sidewalks are only 3' wide with gravel...

This is for the guys that have multiple configurations. I have an L5740 and have gotten use to the single hydro pedal. I had a JD 2520 with the two pedals before that and really liked them. Now I need another smaller tractor like a B3000. Is it hard to get used to the treadle peddle on a...

I am looking at a 2006 model JD 3720. Were there any major improvements made to later models? Thanks!

I have a 2010 L5740 tractor and would like to find a front mount snowblower before winter. My dealer said the L4479 blower will fit both the older 40 and newer 60 L Series. Do most of you leave the subframe on the tractor during the summer? Do those of you that have had both the older...

Looking to buy a complete L2195A snowblower with sub-frame and driveshaft. Please send photos, condition, and price to: email: hwytwoss@gondtc.com Thanks, Paul Cell: 701-740-7433

Will the front 3 pt hitch, driveshaft,& 59" snowblower from a JD 3046R fit a JD 3720 I am looking at a used 2012 JD 3720 and another dealer has the blower from a JD 3046R. Any other major changes on the the 3046R vs. the older JD 3720? Thanks.

I am looking to purchase either a L5740 or a used L6060. Have found some with the L2195A blower and some with the L6060. I have found the older model (L2195A) has a 72" cutting width and the newer model (L6060) has a 74" cutting width. Any other differences? Pros and cons of each? Thanks.

I am considering the purchase of a used JD 3046R with 300CX loader and 59 front snowblower (out of state and haven't looked at it). I think the width of the 3046R with R4 tires is 60". How many have this combo and really wish the blower was wider? Also, could someone measure the cutting...

Just wondering if anyone has pallet forks on a L5740 with factory loader and with skid steer univ. attach? Can you see the tips of the forks at ground level and when spaced about 30"? If so, do you have 42" or 48" long forks. Thanks.

If so, does anyone have a photo of a front snowblower on a L4630? Thanks.

First, thanks for all the suggestions so far. Some have asked my application. I move snow at my self-storage business. My yard is 6 acres with 11 buildings that are widely spaced. I use my JD 2520 with front mount to get real close to buildings but the blower should be higher to handle large...

I have a 2011 JD 2520 with Curtis Cab and front mount 54" blower and it works pretty good, just would like a factory cab. I am looking to upgrade to much larger tractor to use on a Woods RDX 90" finish mower. Does Deere offer a front mount snowblower for their 5000 and 6000 series utility...

Anyone else have a leak where this shaft goes into the transmission? If so, is this seal easily replaced? Not a gushing leak but always has drops on the floor when sitting overnight. My tractor is a 2011 model. Thanks.

I am looking ahead to next snow season and am trying to find a used JD 2520/2720 or JD 3320 with front mount snow blower. I have about a mile of 54" wide sidewalks to clear. I know I can find a used 2520/2720 with a 54" wide snow blower but will it be hard to find a 3320 with a 54" wide blower...

I am in the market for a heavy duty and wide as possible 3 point finish mower. I plan to use it with a JD 60 HP tractor with Cat. 2 3-point. Anyone have any comments on the Woods model or any other comparable brands? Thanks.

I am considering the purchase of a used Deere MX8 rotary mower (8' wide with 2 spindles). I plan to use it on my JD 1969 2520 (61 PTO HP). I have read on some forums that users have had drive shaft problems on these mowers. Does anyone know if Deere has solved this problem and if so in what...

I am looking to purchase a 1990 JD 855 that is set up just the way I want (4WD, Curtis cab w/heater, 54" front blade, 72" mower, collection system, and both turf and ag wheels and tires). The owner says the hyd control valve is bad and the joy stick only controls one hyd function. The owner...

I recently purchased a used 2.5 ton dump truck with 12' long box (contractors box with fold down sides). The box has a 1/8" thick steel floor with cross members spaced 12" center-to-center. The floor is very washboarded with a 1/2" dip between cross members. What is the best way to fix the...

I am hoping to find a JD 855 by this fall for snow removal. I would like to find one with a cab. Question 1: Did JD ever offer thier own cab for the 855? Question 2: Are the Curtis and Cozy cabs considered "hard sided" cabs? Question 3: Any opinions on the best made cab for this tractor...

What would be the JD model number for a front blade for a JD 755 tractor? Also, what would be the width. I have model JD 54 blade on the front of my JD 430 garden tractor. Anyone have any experience with both these models? Do you think the JD 755 in 4WD will push deeper much deeper snow than...

I have a JD 430 Lawn and Garden tractor. I was wondering if JD or any after market company ever made a grill guard for this model. Thanks. Paul in ND, ph: 701-662-3433, email: hwytwoss@gondtc.com

I just purchased a John Deere 54" front blade for my JD 430 Garden tractor. I plan to use it for mowing snow on a very level graveled yard. It appears the lift linkage has a "float position" to allow the blade to float and does not put any down pressure on the blade. Do most of you run in the...

I have a self-storage business and need to move snow away from the buildings. I have a big tractor (JD 7400 MFWD and FEL) for heavy snows. I am looking for something to move light snows that is quick and maneuverable. I have a JD 430 with cab, 300# rear wt box, and chains. I've tried my...
