Here in New Jersey and Long Island one of the largest implement dealers is

Storr Tractor
3191 Route 22
Somerville, NJ 08876
Phone 908-722-9830

Storr is a very big Toro Groundmaster dealer, but they probably see alot of used stuff. Perhaps you could contact them with your stationery and explain your situation.

Just a thought.

It sounds like this tractor must have a weak front end if they are giving this warning. I have heard the same warning on other tractors, but for safety reasons, not mechanical durability. I use a loader with my 790 without ballast and have had no scares yet.

Thanks Dave and Bob for the info on the 1030. However, I found a Ford 1715 that has 800 hrs on it and is in great shape. The 1030 was not taken care of and would be a real risk. Thanks again for the info.

To all you 4xxx series owners, those that have had problems and those that have not, that have patiently responded to my questions I just want to make it perfectly clear that I hope you have a problem free tractor. I really would like for Deere to succeed with this line. The features that they offer are really nice. My only comment is that the number of posts indicating problems with axles, transmissions, dash-fogging,pto failure, brakes sticking has caused me to step back. I wish that the Kubota 2910 had the features that I like on the Deere, then the decision would be easy. I 'm going to wait and see what owners like Mike S posts on his 4400 owners board before I make a decision. Hopefully, the mechanical difficulties were isolated instances and these Deere problems will soon go away. Im ready with my checkbook.

One thing I have seen is that a single bad experience with a product can cause a person to get unreasonably upset and emotional about the product and manufacturer, even after years of satisfaction. Emotional analysis rarely results in the best evaluation. It's better to set your immediate feelings aside and look at the situation with the perspection of the "whole picture".

As far as compact tractors, to me it is absolutely clear that every manufacturer has it's own advantages and disadvantages. It can't be a monopoly unless the market is dominated by a single company. Clearly this isn't the case with compact tractors. However, if one single manufacture began making the highest quality, most desirable, most reliable, most efficient, most cost-effective tractors on the market, then, in a free market, consumers would quickly learn this and begin buying solely from this manufacturer. To stay in business other manufacturers would have to respond. This is why people disagree on which tractor is best: no company controls the market. Economics 101.

I bought a JD 790 two months ago and love it. No, it doesn't have all of the convience features of the 4XXX series or the Boomer. But it had what I wanted most (4WD, power, warranty, reputation for reliability, simple design, functionality) at a more affordable price than the 4XXX tractors with similar power, and FAR less than New Holland. I don't think that's faulty engineering.

All of a company's parts must work together in harmony. The engineers are no more important than the marketing people and they aren't any more important than the financial people. Sure, engineering is important, but I doubt everyone on this board drives a Mercedes. When you decide to make a purchase, cost is clearly one of the top considerations. The marketing people find out what people want and tell the engineers what to build. The engineers design it so that it will work and that it can be built efficeintly. The financial people ensure that the equipment is sold at a profit. If ANY of these functions fails, the company goes out of business.

MLS, My statement about JD comming at a "preimium price and therefore I expect preimium performance and service" still holds true! If Kubota costs more for a similar machine then I would expect even more from Kubota. As for bashing JD without owning one, I do! I own a 4100 just as you do. I also own a SX85 for trim work. I paid $1900 for the SX85 and I am very displeased with the drive system on it. I could have bought a Honda with a genuine hydrostatic drive for less money. As for dealer satisfaction, he probably should not get in my way while I am tilling. I think this dispells your theory about persons making statements based on unknowledgeable statements by other uninformed persons.

Martin, I also have a MF 1250-4. I don't know anything about the Kelly backhoes, but I have a MF 1217. It is a very good hoe. It has a lot of power. Not to long ago I dug 2400' of 16" wide ditch. The depth varied from 2'to 4'depending on what I was putting in each branch. Every one of the contractor on site was inpressed at how it dug. The dirt was hard packed red clay with rock. In one area you could look in the ditch and see three waves of 6" rocks that I had dug through. I have been real happy with it. JerryG

I live in linden, TN. I got a price of 25,000 before taxes from a place called golden circle implement in lexington, Tn. That price included supersteer, remotes, 4wd, and 90 inch air tunnell bush hog mower. There number is 901-968-2027. You can also try Murphy ford tractor in Jackson, Tn. Sorry, don't have the number. Their price was around 24,500 for the same equiped tractor.

Go to a tire store that handles light truck tires. They should have HEAVY DUTY valve stems that are used for tires that require 60PSI or more. You could also use chrome plated solid brass valve stems that are used on custom wheels. They have a nut on the outside and a rubber gasket on the inside. This will only work with tubeless tires.

I hope this helps.

This may have been discussed in the past, but does anyone have experience with backhoes, both 3 pt hitch and/or self propelled models, constructed from CadPlans drawings. What about complete kits from Metco Supply (these are per CadPlan prints)?

Thanks gerard,

The dealer tells me it's a linkage problem. However, the arm (not the lift arm, the control arm) on the 3pt gearbox moves when you move the 3pt lift lever. How can this be the linkage. Your explaination sounds more like it. My only fear is it's something that might return later if not addressed properly.

Thanks again.

Brad Dionne,I did a lot of research,it took me several months.Like I said on the prior posting I talked to a lot of people,most of them have been working tractors all their lives.Very many of them have bigger tractors and were very loyal to their brand but all agreed that if they were on the market for a compact they would look at Kubota real hard.Everybody refered to them as dependable,they knew somebody who had one and were real pleased,etc.I also liked the fact that Kubota makes all of the components on the tractor themselves.The tractor seems very solid to me and it's probably overkill right now but later down the road I'll be happy I got the bigger tractor.I also looked at the BX models but tought than in a few years would probably had to replace it with something a little bigger.After I drove the B7500 I never looked again at the JD4100,I liked it better or it felt better,if you will.The dealer made a big difference also,he was very attentive,spent all the time with me that I needed and did not pushed for any specific model,I drove them all,he's also a NH dealer so you know I spent a lot of time there.I quized him with a few questions and expectecions that me as a customer will want from my dealer and he was right on time on everything.I expect to keep my tractor for a long time so there will be plenty of time if I choose the right dealer but at this time I have no reason whatsoever to doubt the man.For now I just have to wait until Monday to get delivrey of the tractor and enjoy.I hope I was of any help to you,feel free to ask again if you want me to elaborate more on the topic. PS.You can never go wrong with a tractor that's painted CHEVY orange.
