Newbie question:Most loader and backhoe specs include both lift capacity AND breakout capacity. Lift is obvious enough but what does breakout mean?<br>Thanks ahead of time, Rob.

Hi I just bought a new JD 4400 last month with the new axle designee now I’m having trouble with the power steering pump and steering cylinder knuckles seeping oil. Anyone else had this problem.

Again, this board is very helpful,, what was driving me to the 4700 was stability and my perception of $value. I offered $17k for tractor & loader after being told by local dealer that the wholesale was $15800 for 97' with loader/4wd/180hr and was rather rudely rejected by individual. Was this way out of line?

As I will be doing close maneuvering. My preference is and has been the 3710 HST with quick-release loader, forks, R4 tires set as wide as possible and box scrape. But it seems that everyone wants this tractor and I don't want to spend more than $20K - What do I give up HP, HST, or Orange ... or Help!

Unfortunately Billy, this is one example of the only 'easy way' to do it, is to have some else do it.... They can be a real pain in the neck, literally. Get anything else that may be in the way, alternator, etc., off or out of the way, then undo the hardest to get to bolt first, this way if it is impossible you will know first, not after everything else is undone. Sometimes a couple of extensions and a 'flexible' adapter on a ratchet will reach in past the clutter. However hard it is to remove, it must come out, the chances of being able to replace the seal without damaging the new one, or yourself, are extremely remote, they are very delicate things and are very simple to do on a bench, but upside-down backwards with one hand while still in the machine, FORGET IT. I'm sure you have enough frustrating things in your life, don't add to the list.... Best of luck.

Hope not to insult your inteligence here, but I've had a number of complaints over the years from customers who bought lawn and C.U. tractors from me. All of them complained about the engine stalling, coughing, or quitting while driving along sidehills. In every case they were leaning uphill enough to take enough weight off the seat to activate the operator presence system, thus killing the engine untill they got their butt planted again. Just a thought..

If anyone is looking to purchase a new loader I would strongly recomend a Great Bend and Wyatt Farm Center, Wyatt, Indiana. I had a JD 1050 with MFWD and wanted to install a loader on it.I researched every manufacturer I could find to compare specs.and asked for recomendations on the CTB. I found Great Bend was consistantly rated very high, had one of the best lift capacities and the strongest frame that tied to the rear axle. In an unrelated message on the CTB I came across Chuck from Wyatt Farm Center, from the message I deducted that he is a dealer. I placed an e-mail of what I had and what I wanted and asked them to quote me a price. Wyatt sent me a price that was right in my budget so I ordered it. Wyatt had everything set-up perfectly and gave me great advice on what was needed for my tractor. I recieved the loader about 2 weeks ago, spent a saturday afternoon installing it and I've been in awe ever since. This is a extremely high quality piece of equipment represented by an extremely high quality dealer.

Danny... I have a TC29D, bought last fall. No temp-guage problems so far. The shifting issue is, unfortulately, normal. As the others have said, you have to "nudge" the gears a bit to shift into a range. For the PTO, briefly ease up on the clutch just a bit (not all the way!) and shift. For the lo/mid/hi range, don't even use the clutch; just tap the HST pedal a bit and shift. If you hear gears grinding, you're not quite getting it right. I'm happy to say I've had no major problems with mine so far, and am thoroughly enjoying it!

That sounds like a good price. I think that I am now leaning toward the orange (B2910). I got one priced today @ $19000 w/loader & 60" midmower ( also with grill guard & loaded tires) & I think I can get him lower than that. A dealer of both blue & orange tells me that the belly mower on the Kubota works much better & is much, much more durable. Does anyone have bad experiences with the NH 914 mid-mower? This NH/Kubota dealer was very negative toward this NH mower that he actually tries to avoid selling. Is he just making more off the Kubota sale or is their something to the mower problem? He also says that the Kubota HST is much better. I did like EVERYthing about the Kubota - not that the NH is not nice also. Any experience with loaded (washer-fluid mixture) tires with mowing? Does the weight damage the lawn? With the loaded tires, the Kubota is still no heavier than the Boomer. Is there value to the added weight of the Boomer? The dealer says that Kubota has done extensive testing on "ideal weights vs. hp" & that NH has always been pushing more weight & hp only means better-better performance. Sorry to go on so long, but the more I learn, the more questions there are...

Only VENTRAC has a weight transfer system for the all-wheel-drives. It is a standand feature. Either or both springs can be engaged by the selector levers. If there is too much "lift" either spring can be disengaged. Some operators prefer less lift in order for the rear deck roller to make a more prominent "stripe" effect on the grass.

KenB:
Thanks for the information. After seeing the tractor, it was as the dealer said and appears to be in excellent condition. We made a deal for $9100 and he is to deliver on monday next week. I've heard often that if something sounds to good to be true it usually is. I'll keep my fingers crossed and see what happens. Thanks again for the information and to all the others out there who are participating on this site. The information here is unbveatable!

Thanks to all! I really appreciate all views and opinions. I'm gonna hold off for now on modifying my ROPS but if I ever decide to do otherwise I always accept full responsibilities for my actions and would never try to put the blame on someone else if something bad would ever happen. I will check to see if foldable or lower ROPS are available for my tractor. Now... just maybe... if I let the air out of my back tires... just maybe... :-) Thanks again everyone!

I am ready to buy a tractor. I'm looking for models like the YM1610D or YM2000D. I definitely want 4WD and approx. 22 to 27hp range. I'm interested in shuttle shift but I'm not sure which models do or don't have this feature. I would also like to purchase a front end loader with the tractor. I live in the Tidewater area of Virginia and am seeking the best and fairest deal. Please email me with any information concerning models, hp, price, warranty, shipping cost, etc. My email address is: JmeReid@aol.comThank you

Norm, I didn't get mine from Northern, but I do have a 5' Howse box blade. I used to have a 4' Monroe Tufline that I used behind a B7100, but when I traded up to a B2710, I wanted a wider blade. I certainly do not think the Howse is the same quality as the Tufline, but I'm quite happy with it. I'm pretty confident it's plenty strong enough for a 27hp tractor. In fact, I've hung it on some stumps, and hung the scarifiers on some roots, that were tough enough to stop the tractor and just spin the wheels, but no problem with the blade. I've been using it since last August.
