Matt, check the brakes! I had the same problem with my Ford 1700. The cam that spreds the brakes shoes was rusted and when I applied the right brake real hard it had stuck, however the brake pedal returned all the way back up but the brake rewmained locked, removed the cover,which the brakes shoes are attached to. cleaned the cam and very lightly oiled it. Solved the problem

Does anyone have any insight on a Kubota L260? 26 engine HP 2 cylinder. It does not appear. to be a grey and is in reasonble shape. I am wondering if it is one of the first Kubota's in this market and if so how old. I have a serial #. I also have no idea what it is worth. The hour meter says 990 hrs. Thanks D.C.Smith

The manual that I got with my Befco tiller gives a straight forward method for cutting the drive shaft to the right length. Basically you want it to be 2" shorter than the shortest collapased length. If you want I can scan the manual and email it to you. Cutting the drive shaft was not easy for me. It was made of hardened steel.

It makes sense to me. My JD4100 manual says to change the primary air filter as needed per air filter air restriction indicator. It has a pop up device when the air filter is plugged. Or every 500 hours of operation, more often in extremely dirty conditions. The secondary filter is to be replaced after every third primary air filter. I think air filters are one of those things that need replacing when they get too plugged to allow proper air flow or they get so old that the paper element may start to fall apart due to exposure to the elements. This is not an expert opinion by any means.

Sorry for taking so long. The number one brand was Kubota but I have a feeling that it is probably JD now. N/H do not try very hard and see it as a low hassle market, by this I mean they ask the dealers in the back end of the year what tractors they require for the following season and then order those tractors. If the dealers do not have the machine that the customer requires then they know that they are unlikley to get it. Therefore New Holland have a no risk compact tractor business in the UK. If they pulled thier finger out they could with the product range avialable in the US become number one. The UK dealers find it very frustrating that the UK range is so limited. The diversity of the tractor market is growing considerably with such manufacturers as Landini, Ferrari, Carraro, TYM, Eurotrac, Jinma, Same and many others joining in the fray.

I have a Kobuta B6100.
I think its 3 pt is a cat 0, too small but gets the work done.
It has a single clutch plate but its PTO has its own seprate 3 speed gear with neutrals between 1 and 2 and between 2 and 3. So its as good as indepen.
I have no experience with a loader on this tractor.
The FS850 rotavator is one great implement. Its used about 95% of the time my B6100 works.

The larger Masseys are built in England and I believe some are built in Poland. The compact Masseys, 1250's and such are still built in Japan by Iseki.

Your in luck! A company called Hub City makes the unit you need. Part number is 02-20-01402-022 and I believe it is around $600 or so. If you can't find it locally call Messick Farm Equipment in Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania and they can order. This unit bolts right on the back of the transaxle and converts to correct rotation as well as changing to a 1 3/8-6spline shaft. Good luck!

I think most implements are designed for a particular PTO speed and work best at that speed. At least with rotary cutters, it's a good idea to keep the blade speed up because they cut better and break fewer shear pins. The only finish mover I have is a riding mower. It makes a better finish if I run it in lower gear at full throttle, but then, maybe I should sharpen the blades.

Thinking about it, both the 2020 and the 3010 have the "closed center" hydraulic pump with the variable displacement rotor....This is a lot different from many of the compact tractors -most of which still have the old (cheap and simple) "open center" type of hydraulic system. It sure sounds like you have a restriction somewhere or else a pump problem.....I'm betting on it being the high pressure hydraulic filter. That would sure be nice. If so, you had better get if fixed, as those closed center pumps come dear(deere?).
BTW, doesn't that 48 loader overpower the 2020 tractor a bit? What will she lift?

Danny, I took a 4300 to the dealer today to have a 3rd SCV installed. His installation fee was $80. You have to remove the right rear tire and fender to install it. I was told that it was about 2 hours for a person with he knowledge and tools but anybody with good mechanical skills should be able to do it in 4-6 hours. The kit to do it is $220.

Darryl, I think that's a common problem unless you're already on a hard, smooth surface, probably the reason most of us use it so much in reverse. And Jerri, I see both skid steer and tractors being used with the front end loader in the float position to clean up piles of dirt or gravel that have been dumped on pavement. You just have to learn now to tilt the edge down where it tries to dig in.

I have a 4300 with loader, backhoe, belly mower, etc that I got last summer. With about 125 hours on it I have had a PTO leak, loader hydraulic leak, big backhoe hydraulic leaks and a weld broke on the loader hydraulics that raise the arms. The leaks were caused by nicks in the seals / o-rings. That sound like a quality control / assembly problem to me.
The dealer has been very good about fixing these, but I do not think they should have happened in the first place. While I like the tractor, I am disappointed by the problems. I also have a four year old 4 wheel Gator and a new 425 garden that I have not had any problems with so far.

I use a single bottom 3 pt plow with my 26 hp cub 4 wd. Chains on the rear turfs, 4wd, and diff lock as needed. Used it for the garden and making some drainage ditches. Got into some pretty soupy stuff there but did OK.

In 16 years of using a 1050, I think I heard the whine only several times and that was at 2400 RPM under a heavy load such as pulling a sod drill up a steep hill while planting and while pulling a 7 ft Hesston 1071 mower conditioner up the same hill. If the 1050 had had quick tatch on the loader, syncromesh, and some springs under the seat, I'd probably still have it!

While checking over my JD 955,I noticed that the forward yoke for the drive shaft has some side play on the splined input shaft at the mfwd. I ordered a new yoke and it also seems a little loose. The aft yoke also has some play, but not as much as the front one. I cannot tell if the splined shaft is worn and at $500 for a new spline assy., I am reluctant to throw a new shaft at it if there really isn't a problem. Does anybody know how to determine if the splined shaft is worn? Does anybody know if some play is normal? I overheard some truckers talking about greasing worn splines. Is this a good idea? any comments on this subject would be appreciated. Thank You.

Well I've decided to take the plunge with the TC35D with 16LA loader. In my tests this past weekend you can move the bucket and boom at the same time. Should be delivered this Friday! This seems like a really good machine, I can hardly wait.

My TC33 does have the work spot light, which is very handy at dusk, that is connected by the signal light. It does have its own switch as Micheal pointed out. Power to this light is ran through the ignition switch.
