Re: John Deere 110 skid plate info..

Bushy and others,
The skid plate and stabilizer gaurds are made by G.R. Manufaturing,Inc. 800-841-8001 or 205-655-8001,on the web, grmfg.com.I have this for skid plate as it reads off the installation manual: John Deere referal kit:LVS 100541.I've got nothing for the stabilizer gaurds,there is a date on the manual though:12/18/01,and your salesman says they're not building/selling them yet?? I think he's mistaken/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gifI hope this helps,try givin' G.R. a call and see if they sell direct,and let me know how you make out.

Mark,
I am also glad to have almost everything,especially the machine.As I have said before I just don't know why it is so hard to give the buyer a better idea when their stuff will be delivered,I understand delays but six delivery dates and six no shows is totally unacceptable,but in the end what can the little guy do to JD,they're humongous,and if you don't buy it the next guy will, so grin and bear it I guess.Anyway so far it seems great,and performs very well,so the more time I get on it the more posts there will be about it, and thanks for the congrats.

Thanks for the information regarding the armor for the 110.

I would like to protect the finish on the machine though I'm not really sure what to use. There is alot of surface, in and outs. Do you know of any produce possibly a wax that drys clear if not buffed off.

Recently, I was looking at a couple of tractors of a friend's. They are 1998 models and the finish is faded. I would like to perserve the finish until it is in side. Any suggestions? Bushy

Re: John Deere 110 skid plate info..

Salesman called to tell me he ordered belly pan and guards. Both are made by the same company as Tags mentioned. I wouln't of knowned about this stuff if it wasn't for Tags. I rip out the hydraulics and Deere would say"too bad stupid". They will be here in 10 days, probably before my tractor. He said maybe Friday. Ya right. Like I can't wait untill Friday. I just laugh at him now.

Bushy,Bushy,Bushy,
Plastic my friend,its the wave of the future man.Seriously though,on the metal parts I would just use a good quality wax,I know my friends use that wax that sprays on,it seems to work well and not too much rubbin',as far as the plastic parts go,I would be awfully careful as to what you use on them besides soapy water,I don't think the plastic parts will fade much though,so I'm not sure there is much to worry about there,if you find something let us know.

Re: John Deere 110: Removing the hoe

Hello boys,
I took the hoe off my hog today and noticed some things I wanted to pass on to you guys.First and foremost you can completely remove the hoe from the seat of the machine,this is very nice and takes about 2min,no joke,second,when letting the hoe "fall away" from the machine be mindful of the hydraulic lines,make sure they are not wrapped around the lift arms as mine were,you will rip them off,I saw it in time and made sure they were clear,third,when you install the three point hitch there is a sfety switch that the hoe triggers and disconnects the lift arms from operating,when the hoe is removed it allows the lift arms to work,well my switch was stuck and I couldn't get the arms to lift,I located the switch,and pulled the safety tab away to take pressure off of the switch and everything was fine,the switch is located on the right rear where the pin goes to hold the hoe on,also when using the 3 pt hitch make sure the hydraulic line from the hoe doesn't get pinched between the rops and lift links,I used a bungee to keep mine out of the way,and when installing the hoe,again watch out for those lines I started to pinch one when tilting the hoe back towards the machine but caught it before I cut it in half.I know it sounds like alot to keep an eye on but if you are in a rush or just plain excited when removing the hoe, it is real easy to wreck a line if you're not payin' attention,at least till ' you get used to removing it,but once it's been done a few times it'll all be second nature.

Re: John Deere 110: Removing the hoe

Hello folks! Have been watching this post for some time with curiosity. Now that some of you have actually used it, is the 110 as versatile as it appears? Does it have the strength to be used as a commercial hoe? Will it easily plow 5 acres, is it OK to plow with a hydro? It may be the ticket! I use the 1920 as a TLB and like it, but we all know it has limitations.

Re: John Deere 110 skid plate info..

Read all about it!!! Joe gets hoe on Monday. Salesman called and said the 110 was dropped off this afternoon, ( Friday).
Three months after it was ordered and 6 weeks late. I'll go check it out tomorrow to see if it's all there. The salesman said everything seemed to be there except the rear work lights which are put on after delivery. Go figure? I'm sure they don't have them on hand. Why plan ahead?

Good looking out and thanks for passing that alone.

I stopped by the dealer today to pick up the rest of my three point hitch. Along the way I saw an auction set up. There were pallet fork, augers, grappling buckets made by Thomas. They are skid steer quick attach.

The auctioneer is Lions. A friend that is up on the auctioning business said that this outfit goes town to town nationwide selling.And they get the price they want. There were some trailer there as well made by the same company. The trailer looked well built.

Do you know any thing about this product line and or the auctioneer? Bushy
