I use my JD770 with a 54" loader bucket. It really needs a counter weight even with fluid in the tires. I built my own using two 16" by 32" pieces of 2" steel plate and a welded up angle iron frame. I made a bracket on it that holds the 5 ea 40 lb front end weights which adds a removable 200 lbs to it and saves storing (and losing?) the weights some place else when the loader is installed.

While I was at it, I welded some loops on the back to make pulling things (like stumps) with a chain easier. I also welded on a standard 2" receiver tube so that I can use sliders from my PU truck hitch, or the universal 3 ball slider from Northern, to pull trailers and the cement mixer.

The difference in performance with the 750 lb counterweight has to be experienced to be believed. It really makes a difference. I have pictures of it that can be E-mailed if someone is interested but no WEB page to post them on.

Does anyone know if someone makes a slotted loader bucket for light tractors? The slots filter out dirt and keep rocks, helping clean up a field. If they aren't made, does anyone know why not? Milford Welding makes one for skid steers that seems right for the job I have, but I'd like one to fit a JD4100. I've attached a link to the Rock Bucket site by Milford. Thanks in advance for any help you can give. JonB

Just wondering if anyone had heard if New Holland is going to offer special financing on their tractors as they have in past years. Usually it's 1.9% financing for 48 months or similar. Also, does anyone know if they still honor the "A" plan pricing for Ford Motor workers? Any information is appreciated
