Since the Steiner and Ventrac both have the same type of weight transfer system, I was wondering if some of you guys could give a rundown as to when to use it, (like mowing), and when not? For instance, I am getting a lot of use out of my slip scoop right now. With a full load in the bucket, it puts a lot of weight on the front of the tractor. Now if I use the WTS, it can iliminate some of that, but forget about floating the scoop as it will just lift upwards when put into float.

Curious thing. I just checked the Firestone site and found max front tire pressures about 24 lbs. However, my Ford owner's manual gives a load table for up to 10 lbs. I wonder if the Ford engineers decided to use only half the load table because the front end or wheels they used aren't designed for higher loads. Or, maybe the tires stop acting like turfs at higher pressures.

Even so, the tire loads at 10 lbs. still carry about what the loader will lift. Guess the front end probably will last longer if I don't push the loader weight too much.

10 acres is quite a challenge for a 2160 (16.5hp). With a 42 inch slasher, and heavy grass the going can be slow, 4th gear maybe 3-4 hours for 2.5 acres. If the going is rough and windy after a while the guts can hurt, but maybe that the same for any compact. Turns lightning fast with brakes, better with front weights. Good engine. A couple or three cows to help keep the grass down sure helps.

As far as 3 point, Landpride is hard to beat.As for a walk behind/self propelled unit you may want to check out a Ryan. I guess you mean a core aerator, I would check out Woods(yes, the mower people)or Millcreek Mfg., they are both nice units, and also Ryan for a small self propelled unit. I have used all equipment mentioned.Re-post if you want more specifics. Good luck

Jeff glad to hear you got your tractor. Would also like to hear about how the 48 hoe works. I do have one on order with 12" & 18" buckets.

MJB I have R4's on my 4400, although I do not have a finish mower. I have driven it in yards many times with out any problems since getting the new axle. If the ground is wet they will leave impressions, but these go away after it rains. I just tilled our garden last night and made u turns to lock in the grass with out any scuffing at all.

I think the tilling convinced my wife the value of the tractor. Every year I would spend 4 to 5 hours with our 8hp Troy Bilt tiller working the clay dirt in the garden. It took 45 minutes with the tractor & 56" King Kutter II tiller and it worked up the best ever. Chris

You need to at least go look at, and try to operate, each of the big three. They all make some fine tractors, and you ought to buy the one that feels best to you. Of course, I have had a B7100 and now have a B2710 and think the Kubota is first choice (sorry, Dusty).

Danny, I have the TC29D with R4 tires and love em! Mow about 4 acres without a problem. Most marks are made when backing in a turn. Even then next day they are gone. I don't think turf tires would last long in my pasture. Lots of thorns and saplings. R4's are great for Loader work too. Donald

Hey, Ya know size is one of those things that's different for everyone. I was planning to get a Kubota untill New Holland came out with the Boomers and then decided to get a TC21D. 27 Acres, 1/2 mile driveway, 4 ac yard, 10 ac Hay, 8 ac pasture. I figured the 21 hp would do th job. Ended up getting the TC29D with the Frontend Loader & I'm very glad I did. The 21 would have done the job, but the 29 does it much better, and with less work for the tractor. Size is like buying a truck. Three things to consider; 1. What will do the job, 2. what do I want, 3. What can you afford. It was taking about 7 hours to mow the lawn, now with a 60" 3pt hitch mower it takes about 2 1/2. One thing to keep in mind. I'd buy bigg enough that I don't have to rent. If I can't do it with my Boomer, I don't need to do it. I don't guess I really answered your question, buy maybe I gave you more to think about. Donald

Yep that was me. I never had the problem anymore. The tractor never overheated at all, in fact the temp gauge will only get about halfway in 100 + degree weather. The problem was with the power steering in real hot weather, and it started happening right after I changed the fluids at 50 hours. My dealer picked up the tractor and, after talking with Kubota they changed the hydraulic fluids again, and I never had the problem again (so far). When I changed the fluids I put super UDT in there, which they recommend for cold weather generally, but don't discourage for hot weather. My dealer says they put super UDT back in, but I have my doubts.

I will see how the tractor does when it gets real hot again and keep everyone posted.

Yes, that answers it. That was my assumption but I wasn't sure and didn't want to ruin something. When I ask the farmers around here they just give you a funny look and say that's how they've always done it, right or wrong.

I am looking at putting in some Evergreen Trees to form a barrior between my house and my down hill neighbor.<br><br>My house has a good view of the valley so I want trees that will go to a max of 20 to 20 feet. So I don't see my neighbor but see over the trees<br><br>I like Douglas Fir trees and White Pine (except deer eat the pine but not the Fir) but I think they will get too big eventually, although I probably won't be here by then, or I could plant a second row later and cut the first one down, I think I am being optimistic about how long I will be in this house also ;-)<br><br>If there is such a thing as an ideal plant for this purpose I'd love to know<br><br>Thanks<br><br>Pete

I would be very interested in buying the mid-mower from you if you buy the tractor, but only if it is the mid-PTO version. They made an electric front clutch version also. Please email me at david@jmcampbell.com if you have it for sale.

Yeah, the rockshaft arms are the lift mechanism for a 3-point hitch. I've also seen them referred to as "lift arms".

Peter, I have a 3410HST and mow 7.5 acres with a 90inch rear mower. I LOVE IT! I use to do the same area with a diesel 72inch Toro groudsmater (which I now use for trimming) but at only half the speed and half the comfort. I have hilly land and do a lot of FWD to REV moving so the HST is perfect - on a steep hill just ease up on the pedal to slow down and maintain power - in direction changing the PTO is constant. If you want any more info just contact me.
