Steve, you said that you're already reaching the limits of the JD4700. Can you elaborate?

If I were you, I would take that money you would spend on the rental and buy a box scraper with scarifiers. Then with the box and the rake, drive your own tractor around in circles for days until you're satisfied with the results. Use the box initially with the scarifiers all the way down to break things up and go from there.

I HAD an L2500DT and tried using a 5' 3pt snow blower but with limited success. I say that because if the snow was light and under 1'-1.5' it has no problems, if you have it in low range. It really becomes unproductive when the conditions vary at all, like at the end of the drive with the heavy snow. In short I would not AT ALL recomend a 2 range reverse, manual trans without an idependant pto for snow blowing. With a small tractor you NEED at least an independant pto or even better, a hydro trans. BTW, the grass cutting will be no problem at all, with up to a 6' cutter, in WIDE OPEN AREAS. Please consider this before purchasing! Otherwise the L2500 is hard to beat for value. A solid, powerful tractor.

I am considering a purchasing a 3PH forklift. I intend to move few pallets, but <br>also barrels, trees, and other things too heavy to easily set in a trailer. If you have experience with a rear forklift, what's your opinion of these? What is a good brand? What price is reasonable? Thanks in advance for your advice.

This is the same problem I found when testing the NH boomers. This is partly because it has indirect injection. Do yourself a favor and look at the B2710 Kubota or simalar Deere. It's not that the NH is not a good machine but there are better!

I have a 6', 3pt mower. Mow about 2.5-3 acres in about 1 hour. Could go faster but the deck I have doesn't cut well at higher speeds.

Last year I rented a Bobcat Skid Steer--a big mistake. My land was wet and in<br>soft areas it sank & got stuck. I had to pull it out with a 4WD PU 3 times.<br>I could only use it in a few areas and eventually gave up. Last week I<br>bought a JD 4100, it promptly got stuck in a rut left by the Bobcat. I put<br>it in 4WD and it drove right out. This weekend, I'll use the 4100 to remove<br>the ruts. Why the difference? IMHO, the Bobcat weighed more, had much more<br>weight on the back end, had smooth hard tires, and no 4WD. The JD's weight is<br>more balanced, pneumatic R1 tires that grip, and the wonderful 4WD. <br>But you need something larger than a 4100 to handle a back hoe. Best of luck.

Hi MLS:<br>I recently purchased a Honda 6522. It's a 1991 w/65 hours and a front snowblower. It has turf tires and a 3pt. hitch. It cost me $8,500 and I sunk another $2,000 into it for a cab and heater.<br>You didn't mention whether the snowblower is front or rear. If it's front, it requires a drive kit that pushes the price of the blower up to around $7,500.<br>I believe you get your choice between ag, turf and flotation tires as no-cost options.<br>I think the price might be steep. I checked into the book value (after I made the purchase) and was surprised to find out how low it is (I've forgotten how much, but you can access the info through this site at the top of the page of you click on comparisons).<br>Please tell me a little about the chipper/shredder. I am looking for one but don't know much about them. I might be interested in yours if you buy the tractor. Where do you live; I'm in Massachusetts.<br>IMO, it's a honey of a tractor. I know people that own them and they love them, work them hard and have no probs. The knock on them is they are lighter than the big three, but they actually weigh MORE. They are also pricey, as are other Honda products.<br>Good luck and please let me know how you make out.<br>Jon<br>

I've narrowed my search to JD 4100 hydro or Kubota B2100 HST. Quotes are<br>virtually identical: $20,500 (incl. 8% tax) for tractor w/ hydro or HST,<br>tiller, flail mower, drill w/ downpressure, and box scraper. The loader comes<br>next year. The Kubota dealer insists the Deere hydro drive is jerky & hard to<br>control--especially when starting. My test drive didn't scare me away from the<br>Deere. Any 4100 owners find the hydro drive to be jerky? Thanks for your help.

I'm looking at 4100 myself. Prices quoted me are:<br>4100 $9,995<br>HST 1,700<br>R4 150 extra<br>loader 2,900 installed<br>I was told, not by JD rep, that there is no foldable ROPS<br>for the 4100.
