Re: Bushy\'s 110

Tags : I'll put my thinking cap on. Right now I'm coming up blank. I bought a rotary cutter. I'm going to try and use it this week. I've haven't taken the hoe off yet. Have you used the 3 point hitch for anything? I have about 60 hours on tractor. Had it serviced at the dealers after 50 hours. How has this worked out for you? I had a confrontation with the service manager. I got a little hot. I don't know if I want to go back. I might try another dealer. Although I hate to. I'll most likely be on here again this week. See you on the net.

Of course I have qestions and thanks for asking.

#1. The play in the swing function. Is it poorly sized bushing in the swing cylinders?

#2. Will Deere be doing anything about it?

#3. High pitch squealing, hydraulic noise at start up. Is this normal at start up?

#4. When traveling at road speed I feel and hear a momentary change in the transmission as if it is changing gears. Has anyone reported anything similarly?

#5. Will Deere be making available information regarding attachments such as augers for the backhoe, augers for front loader, front or rear trenchers, tillers size recommendations, information regarding the use of the various soil preparation devices like the harley rake etc. ?

#6. Is there a soft cab available from JD?

Re: Bushy\'s 110

Hey Guys,

You all haven't heard from me since the 110 was first posted.

I tested one last week and put the money down today. i've beenn lurking around off and on all summer watching your frustration over slow delivery. Last thurs they had exactly what i wanted, clamp, 4+1 hyd front and rear. When I got back on Saturday it was gone and sold! Just my luck! So today I put up. I hope I don't get your run around. the dealer asures mer 45 days. We'll see. The hoe was nice. the hydro howled, and the boom swing when off was about 5 inches back and forth. No time to note loader sink.

Re: Bushy\'s 110

Tag's & Bushy: I took the B H off this afternoon and installed the 3 P H. I was going to do some bushhogging. I can't get the rockshaft to raise. I can't see what I 'm doing wrong. I'm assuming according to the manual that all I need to do is adjust the knob done below the seat to how fast I want it to travel . Then I move the rockshaft lever, but nothing is happening. I can freely move the hitch manually up and down so I know there is no interference. Am I be missing a step? I will call the dealer tomorrow but I don't think I'm going to get very far with them without bring it there. I don't think they know more then I do about this tractor and that's scary!
My brother was with me and he thought it might have something to do with the valve control on the bucket seeing that it's a 4n1. I know the instructions for the switches is real confusing. I'm opened to any suggestion.

Re: Bushy\'s 110

Joe, on my L48 there is a nice big pull handle that diverts hydraulic power to the 3 pt hitch when not using the hoe. Since the 2 would never be used in conjuntion with each other, one will be off, the other on. While not having a chance yet to see a 110, perhaps you have a diverter valve as well. Anything in your owners manual?

Re: Bushy\'s 110

Joereal.................

There is a switch that is sticking. It is located on the right rear side of the tractor where the shocket for the backhoe sits. It keeps the rockshaft from moving when you have the backhoe on. It is a tab of metal that when the hoe is on the tractor it activates the switch by resting against it. I guess that it does not return to the on position. Move it with your finger. Then move the three point hitch control. It should work. I had the same trouble. Bushy

Re: Bushy\'s 110

Rock shaft problem solved. I went to the dealer to check out the one they had on their lot. The mechanic took the hoe off. Their rockshaft worked. Since the mechanic new nothing about this tractor we both looked at it hard to see where there could be a problem. Unlike the green tractors there is a switch that will inactivate the rockshaft once the hoe is atached. I never spotted on mine. It's located on the right side looking from the rear. There is a strip of steel that pushes against the switch to inactivate it. This is done by the hoe once reinstalled.
The strip wasn't releasing enough tension to active the rockshaft on mine. I just used my finger to stretch it out and give it more flexibility. Problem solved. I'm thankful they had a 110 in the yard to trouble shoot from.

Will you list what you are getting on your 110 and let us know how much the dealer is selling it for? You can get the retail prices and the description as well as the code numbers of the options on the John Deere Configurator.

Would you be willing to list the equiptment options by name and numbers and the price the dealer is selling at? Bushy

Re: Bushy\'s 110

JoeReal::::::::::

Good to here the problem is solved. Though it raises another question. Who is going to fix the 110 when something major goes wrong? Bushy

Tags::::::::::

I have another question for you to ask the JD Rep. Is there information regarding attachments as well as the use of all the hydralics at the rear of the tractor. The six color coded ports.

The original brochure shows an auger attached to the hoe boom. Where do you get one? I also am looking for some info on Harley rakes. Would that do the same job as a roto tiller. I'm looking to make some top soil. Does the Harley rake fit on the front or back? Will it chew up sod?

I also have a drainage project that requires shallow drainage. I need to drain a large area with out a ditch. So as to be able to cross it with a tree planter as well as be able to mow it. Can you point me in a direction of some useful information, web sites, product names, links etc. Thanks Bushy

Re: Bushy\'s 110

Bushy,

I didn't really want to rock the boat on the pricing issue. I got the 4+1, 24inch bucket with quick attach, 7 function hoe hydraulics, hydraulic thumb with foot control, stabilizerguards, belly pan, block heater, r4 tire, 55amp, rear worklight, rubber stabilizer pads. It seems like my pricing was similar to Tags', plus I got a discount for cash. The best finacing they would do was 5.5, but then I wouldn't have gotten the cash disc. I can't recall what you said you were charged, but list would have been unrealistic. Maybe you could sidedle up to your dealer and get him to give you a screamin' deal on an implement as compensation.

Thanks anyways.

Some time ago Tags was talking to I think Rat about a Harley rake. He mentioned a name brand of a rake or manufacturer of a rake. I can't seem to find the post. Can anyone assist?

Re: Bushy\'s 110

Make a swale through the area. Basicly, a wide, shallow, ditch. Take a box blade and make something in this neighborhood " \/ " but make this about 10-12 ft. wide and maybe 6-8 in. deep. Clear as mud? Since water always follows the least resistance, This will redirect the flow to where it's wanted.

Re: Bushy\'s 110

Bushy I was counting on calling you up for the more serious problems! Seriously,they said someone from the shop is suppose to go get some training sometime this winter. I hope he hangs around after his training. It better not be their service manager. But then again, he'd be gone out of my life. I'm assuming JD is setting training wookshops for the 110, since it's a new product.

Re: Bushy\'s 110

Have any of the 110 owners tried a hyd.trencher on the front yet?
I really like the one on my 250 Deere and would hate to give it up
if I went to 110.
Has anyone had a SSL before they got their 110?
Just wondering how they compare.

 

[bushy]

Re: Bushy\'s 110

HoemanOO<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

What brand of trencher is yours? I'm interested in knowing more, is there information on the web.

Basically a trencher for a skidsteer loader (ssl) should attach (it has quick attach system like a ssl ) to the 110 front loader. There are two hydralic ports there. I think there is 12 gpm at that location. Though I'm not savvy to any of this.

My leaning style is geared more to hands on. I've read the owner's operator's manual 2 time but I really need the equipment in front of me. As in the attachment.

Where I live there is a limited amount of people that have such things and the 110 being so new, information is hard to come by. Do you have a picture of your rig that you can post?????????? Or a website that I can view?????????????

Thanks Bushy************

Re: Bushy\'s 110

I've got the Deere SSL 48" trencher.
Works great,I have hi flow (28 gpm ?) too but it works ok on std. flow (18 gpm ?).
I have to switch over to use Woods 9000 BH.
It doesn't take much time but TIME=$$$$$$$$$.

Re: Bushy\'s 110

Whoa, go away for a couple of days and "pow",tons o' posts.First off,Whoodle,congrats on your purchase,you will not be disappointed with the performance.

Next, Bushy,I'm a little late on this but the Harley rake is made by Glenmac (which you already know)a very stand up company that really gets behind its products and is there to assist its customers weather it be for parts or info.The Harley rake isn't really the same thing as a tiller,each implement is intended to do different thingsbviously the tiller is good for loosening soil and hardpack to varrying depths and thats about it,where the Harley loosens the top couple of inches of soil,windrows the rocks,and leaves a perfect seedbed for planting,it will chew up sod but not as quick as a tiller.I have a 6 foot pro rake and have had it for years now and it has been the best investment I have ever made.They do make models for skid steers but require a minimum flow of 11 gallons per min (gpm) the 110 has 12gpm to the front and I've been told it will work on the 110 but not real well,the hydraulic motor tends to "stall" more often because the flow is so close to the minimum requirement,but I still want to try one.As far as attachments my dealer has a hoe mounted auger,tilting hoe grading bucket,hammer,and buckets all available for rent to fit the 110,but they also sell the Deere mini excavators and the 35 series excavators share the same size quick coupler as the 110 so they share attachments.

Joereal,Had the same problem when I first took my hoe off,when the rockshaft didn't move after I had put all the arms on I just about lost my mind,I was on a job and getting ready to rake it out and the arms wouldn't lift,I took a deep breath ,calmed myself down and remembered reading something about the hydraulics switching automatically when the hoe was removed,so I looked for a swithch,found it on the right rear,and tweaked it a bit as you and Bushy have,and all has been good since.

Thanks for the " better late than never " response.

By chance do you know who makes or markets the auger for the boom of the 110? I am interested in knowing more about one. Can you help.

I am concerned with the inability of the 110 to run such things as a Harley rake off the front loader. I originally thought that the 110 was design with such things in mind.

The original brochure on the 110, billed it as having the attributes of a compact excavator, tractor and skid steer loader. Suggesting: excavator's digging abilities, with more flexibility, the turf-friendiness of a tractor, combined with a skid steer's hydralic capabilities. This is from page 2, 1st paragraph of the JD 110 brochure. Why I'm getting a little excited is. I've found an attachment similiar to a Harley rake, called a Rock Hound that perpares the soil, collects rock in a bucket and you can dump them in a truck with this unit attached to your front loader.

Tags can you help me with this? Where have you seen the best explanation of the Hydraulic system for the 110? I need too read this.

Has anyone had a Harley rake on the front or a Rockhound. Will it handle a ditcher, though I think a ditcher on the rear of the 110 would be the cats meow for visability and the reposition switch. Though I need schooling on the characteristics of a trencher. Could you operate one from the backhoe operator's seat?

I wish JD would make available exactly what can be use and where it can be used. The loal people don't seem to have the info. All that I hear is that the "Work Site Pro" attachments will work. I can't seem to find anything specific to the 110.

What do you run your rake with?

????????????????????????????Bushy??????????????????????????

Re: Bushy\'s 110

Bushy, with only 12 gpm maximum flow on the 110 for external implements, your going to hard pressed to operate a lot, particularly hydraulic motors. Once you start operating things with hydraulic motors, your going to be disappointed. The smallest box blade skid steer rake Harley has which is 48" in raking width requires at least 8 gpm, to go to the 6' width, it takes 13 gpm. A skidsteer is pretty much just a hydraulic pump with no concerns for a power steering pump or PTO output, a tractor needs to address both concerns. Many tractors can operate a auger for posts fairly easly, I have seen a Kubota L4340 with one on the loader arms. An auger motor while still a high gpm device, operates at a slow speed, my experience with them has shown me that it does better at marginal gpm flows. By the way, Bobcat also makes a landscape rake that is "all in one" that is, it rakes and collects rocks in a cage you can dump in a truck etc. There are still tons of things you can operate with your tractor, especially those requiring a PTO. The Harley rake I use, an 8' model doesn't even begin to tax the power of the PTO. Really the only limiting factor is the weight of them which can be an issue for smaller tractors. Rat...
