Rotella T6 5W40 in the winter and T4 15-40 in summer for me. I might try that Valvoline though, whats the cost in that Jyoutz?

I've had bearing failure 2 times over the last 15 years. No issues in the last several years. However, I haven't used the loader nearly as hard as I did in the first 10 years. It does seem like this could be designed better.

Hello Guys Just wondering if anyone us using Sunoco fluids in their Hydraulic Transmissions. Thanks for any info.

Hey Guys Just wondering if anyone here has experience with Tuscaloosa Tractor. I am interested in a used 4740 that they have for sale but I live in NY and have no way to check out the machine. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.

Hey Guys I have lost all confidence in the RTV1100 to perform the trail grooming task we are looking for. Has anyone out there used the Argo vehicles for this purpose? Thanks.

Ok guys Big problems now. Both rear axles have stripped splines after 150 hrs. on machine....110 hrs. with tracks installed. Need a trip to dealer to see how they are gong to handle this as it is very likely if they just replace parts with new we will have the same issue over again. This...

Hello Gents Some of you may remember the post I made with all the issues outlining the Mattracks set-up with our RTV. One of them was that the machine seemed to have some transmission issues. The machine just simply didn't seem right and as it turns out it most certainly was not working...

Hello Gents Anyone out there use one of those snow pushers that you see on skid steers and at the airports on their tractors? I see one on Curtis cabs web site but not sure how well it would work on a tractor. Seems like you would need a lot more weight for traction than what a tractor has...

Guys Just a notice. We recently bought a RTV 1100 for our snowmobile club and we are having issues with the driver side rear track rotating up and hitting the mattracks guard, stalling the track then getting stuck. Second issue was that the rear leafs were getting severe spring wrap which...

Hey Guys I busted one of the loader hydro hard lines attached to the inside of the loader frame today. There is a locater clamp that holds the 4 lines in place. This clamp actually deforms (squishes) the steel hose a bit and that is where the hose failed (something you 30 series guys may...

Guys Tire Chains by Tirechains.com .See a bunch of different versions here. Just wondering if anyone has experience with any of these stlyes. V-bars look good but if they flip over the advantage is gone. Opinions/thoughts welcome! Tom

Hello All I am mostly very satisfied with my newly aquired 4330 but have a few questions regarding the FEL capability of this tractor. 1) I am assuming that "breakout" is the limit in force before the hydrulic will simply not lift. I.E. you have the handle all the way open to lift but...

Hello Gents I have to say that the seats on the new 20 series cab models are like floating on a cloud. That suspension is SMOOTH and has a ton of travel!!! I am thinking of getting one for my Kubota because quite frankly that suspension seat is nothing compared to the JD seat...I know.....I...

Hey Guys Just changed from UDT that was in my newly aquired 4330 to Amsiol ATH. Didn't notice any real difference yet. It did not make any difference in the smoothness of the 3 pt operation that I had hoped for. Hope It was not a waste of $$. Tom

Hello Guys Going to change out the Hydro fluid from UDT to Amsoil ATH synthetic. Is it just as easy as draining the old, changing the filters and dumping in the new as the manual suggests, or is there anything more that I should know. Thanks. Tom

Hello All Just a small deal here but I thought I'd ask. My L4330 takes about an inch of 3pt lever movement before a reaction occurs at the lift. My fathers JD 790 is super smooth and reacts to very small inputs on the lever. I am using Kubota UDT right now but will switch to Amsoil ATH soon...

Hello All Just wondering about the start-up noise that I hear with my L4330 as well as some white smoke. At start-up the motor is probably half again louder than it is after it has warmed up for a few minutes. Along with the added loudness It also has a more metalic sound to it than the...

Hello Gents Just wondering if there are any products/kits out there for heating the hydro fluid in cold climate operation. I have a block heater but that probably doesn't reach the hydro fluid! Thanks. Tom

Hey Guys Reading thru some of the old Glenmack's tire swap threads and found out that the 3830 and up may not have the correct lead. Possibly needing a larger front tire to make up for the issue. Anyone know any specific details to this. Thanks. Tom

Hey Guys I bout a 2003 L4330 HST with 600 hours, 823 QA loader with low profile bucket and set of pallet forks for $17,000. I feel like it was a fair deal as the tractor is in fine condition. I have been lurking/posting questions on TBN for quite some time now. Just wanted to thank everyone...

Hello All Can you guys let me know the benifits of a drum mower? Why was it designed the way it is. Less HP to run compared to a rotary blade style? etc. etc. Thanks.

Hey Guys Having a lot of fun picking out the tractor I want and shopping. I can't believe some of the quotes I have been getting. These guys must get a lot of people who have no idea of what these tractors are going for. L3430HSTC, R4's, 723 loader w/QA and heavy duty c-style bucket 1)...

Hey Guys I can't find out much about the seat in the Grand L liteature. Can someone who owns one tell me if it is infact a suspension seat and if so how it compares to Deere's seat. Not a real big deal but I'd like to know. Thanks. Tom

\"dry clutch\" question Hello guys Novice regarding this issue! Considering a grand L3430HST. I see that it has a dry clutch. How much of a big deal is a dry clutch in comparrison to a "wet clutch". Thanks. Tom

Hey guys I am considering a L3400 and wondering if anyone makes a cab for this model. Don't need one now but down the road I might like to. Thanks. Tom

Hey Guys I would really appreciate any facts on different brands of 3 pt mounted snowblowers. I know everone thinks the one they own is the best out there but honesty would be appreciated as well. Thanks. Tom

Hello Guys I have been looking at all kinds of compact tractors for the last month or so. Deere, Mahindra, Case, NH, Cat, Kubota, Montana and farmtrack. At this point (with my limited experience) For the money the Mahindra 2810HST looks to be a stout package for 15,800. Anyone dissagree or...

Hello all New here. Just looking for prices on the 2810 & 3510 with FEL and another question about hydraulics. I read a post earlier about a JD guy comparing his output on the Hydraulics for the FEL to the 2810's. He appeared to believe that his 4210 was superior in this respect. Anyone know...

Hello all This is my first post here and I am considering buying my first tractor. While at the local Mahindra dealere here in central NY he told me that Mahindra is dropping the 2810HST & 3210HST models. Anyone know why? Did they have issues with these tractors. Any info would be...
