How big of a rear blade could your wife use on the rear of your BX... /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

If the info cited to Glenn by Cowboydoc is true, I confess to being swayed from the Kubota L3010 to the JD 4300. I'm looking for a compact tractor and found TractorByNet and this "Bashing" thread. The overall info laid out, particularly in Cowboydoc's reply to Glenn, certainly persuades and (while not addressing all of my concerns) tips the balance towards JD (which is interesting, coming from a Kubota forum). I'm still researching, though, and now will give a much closer look to the JD4300. My thanks to EVERYONE who put in their 2 cents - I think I got close to a dollar in change from this thread - my special thanks to Cowboydoc and Glenn!

Now you've done it! JohnS and all the other Jinma owners are going chime in now! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Can't we just get along?

It's hard to compare the 2410 and the 4100 straight across. The 2410 is 24 gross hp and the 4100 is 20 gross hp. I'm sitting here looking at the charts I still have from when I was looking at them. No wonder I was confused. You're right the 2410 has 7 gpm hyd flow but the 4100 has 7.4 total flow. It has dual pumps. On the 3ph, the 4100 has 930 lbs lift 24" behind link ends. The 2410 actually has 1300 24" behind LP what ever that is. The fel on the 4100 = 882 (max hight) and the 2410 = 925 (doesn't say any thing about hight). If the companies would meassure and print all the same stats, it would be a lot easier to compare. The way it is, it's almost impossible. I don't know much about NH but I do know I like both kabota and jd. When I was looking at the k3010 and the jd4300, I liked both but ended up with the jd4300 because it had more things I wanted and where I wanted more so than the 3010. I stopped at the kubota dealer the other day (the one that bashed jd when I was look to buy and he did it again) for something and looked at the 3010 again just for fun. I still like some of the things on that machine better, but for me, I think I made the right choice.
It's just too hard to compare apples to apples on any of these machines and I think that's the way the copanies want it.
You say the 2410 wins. I say they both win. They are not the same machine and don't have all the same featchers.

Bah, humbug. You guys are like Afghans. A little firefight and you want to cut deals and melt away into the civilian population .... only to leap out of your caves a few threads later with sabres in your teeth and guns ablaze.

So during this brokered truce, let's sum up the overwhelming TBN consensus. The following are sacred: Kubota, gun control, Clinton, PETA, Toyota trucks, turf tires, and vegetarianism. The following are pure evil: Deere, hunting, Chevy trucks. R4 tires, air tools, and mud.

There, that should settle everything. From now on, we will only discuss how to grease carburators.

TractorFactor,
That was part of a thread titled "The Objectivity Superiorty of John Deere vs. Kubota" awhile back. It was actually quite good and has some good info. from both sides.
