Somebody up here in Vermont told me he added a few ounces on Marvel Mystery oil to his diesel fuel, to replace the lubricants it seems the fuel companies have already replaced. Since I haven't found any anti-gels that stated they contain fuel pump lubricants, and hadn't read the above posts before today, I'm curious to know if this stuff is worth adding. I've been doing it, but given how thin it is, maybe it's doing more harm than good. Anyone know? I've also just been going to the Sunoco station down the street and buying whatever diesel they sell. Will the different stations have different fuels (#1 or #2), or will they all be #1 because it's cold up here? Maybe I should have paid more attention in chemisty class, but I don't recall anything this practical ever being covered.

Wheel weights seem like a great solution to me too, but I don't know if they're available for a B2710 with turf tires. Guess a call to my dealer is in order.

It's actually Sitrex, without the 'n'. They have a website, www.sitrex.com. FWIW, the only thing I have ever heard said about their products was from a dealer, and he had nothing good to say.

After contacting NH in early January with the TC(45) "option discrimination" complaint addressed above, they contacted me promptly and informed me the issue was on its way up the corporate ladder. To date, (Feb. 11, 2001) not a word has come down from NH as they had promised.

GOK or God Only Knows. Probably because of visual effects. If the bucket is painted a different color it probably makes the tractor look larger. Or maybe they just ran out of green paint.

I purchased a 1987 MF1030 in the fall of 1999. It had 940 hours on it and now has about 1010. It has worked great. I like the low speed of the 12 gears for maneuvering in close. I filled the rear tires with CaCl which is supposed to reduce load on the front wheel drive. I did notice some water in one of the front gear cases but it was clear when I changed fluid again a year later. It is probably the seal and could be a problem if left outside or worked in deep water. The tractor starts instantly even in the cold weather (-20F) and has plenty of power for my 5' woods mower and MF1016 loader. Everything seems well designed and solidly built. My only possible complaint is that the bucket could tilt a little faster when the engine is idling.
Have a good time with your new tractor,

I have a 4600, hydro, 4wd, R4s, with a 460 loader. 60 hours. Unlike most of you guys, I am very disappointed. First I couldn't get the bucket to float. It took three repairs to get it right. Then the fuel gage got stuck. Needed replacement. Then a rim leak in the front tire that no one could find. Needed a tube. Last week my battery died. Not covered under warranty. I had a 950 for 10 years without one bit of trouble but I hurt my elbow and needed a hydrostatic. That's why I traded up for the 4600. A big mistake. The machine is well designed but poorly made. I put it in the paper on Friday . For sale $23000. As soon as it sells I'm buying a Kubota. If anyone is interested, I live outside Boston.

Dick, do you know WHERE they put the flow restrictors? If a dealer did it, then I would assume they put them in the hoses to and/or from the cylinder, between the cylinder and valve, not between the tractor and valve. This may be getting a little out of my area of knowledge, but the flow restrictors would be the solution I would expect; however, the additional whine sounds like a pressure relief valve open, and if so, that will indeed overheat the hydraulic oil. And if the restrictors are between the tractor and valve, that's what I would expect, but if they are between the valve and cylinder, then I don't understand how they could cause the effect you mentioned. Some of you guys who know more about this than I help us out here.

Craig, I have a 7' power angle Curtis plow mounted on a 4700 Tractor with 460 loader. Curtis offers brackets which must welded to the plow frame. The two brackets duplicate dirt bucket part of the JD Quicktach system. The snow plow is connected to the loader arms using the same method as for the JD bucket. After the bottom pin s are installed, the hydraulic lines to the bucket curl cycliners are disconnected and replaced with the power angle cylinder hydraulic lines. This takes less than 5 minutes. What type of pictures do you want? I have the plow off at the moment so I can send you pictures of the Cyrtis Quicktach brackets.

I am in approximately the same situation as you. Mowing, plowing and maintaining a few acres. The R-4's are NOT good in the snow, turfs are better, (I have had both)and my machine now has chains on all fours with those tires. I would spend the $$ for a tc33 as well. The 29 will bog down under a moderately heavy load (so did my 4100).It is a large, heavy machine and can use all the hp you can afford for it. The 33 will give you more power in the same weight package. I plan on trading for a Kubota 2910 in a year. Same HP, lighter, extra cylinder and smaller frame. The features on the tc are very user friendly and it IS a great mowing machine with the 72" belly deck. Happy shopping!

TomG the 8A John Deere back hoe has a sub frame on it how ever it mounts on a bracket by the drawbar an pins on the loader bracket in the middle of the tractor. This is the problem the 1200 lbs back hoe is piviting by the drawbar and pushing up on the middle of the tractor. I am tring to figure out how to keep this form happening again after I put the transmission back together, becouse I am sure that history will repeat its self.

I have a 32 HP Kubota and am looking for advice about a reasonable 3-point backhoe attachment. Also I am getting mixed opinions on running it from remotes or a pto pump, but I am leaning towards the pto pump. Most of the units I have seen run off the tractor hydraulics.

1725 is the number they used on the first BOOMER tractors. That would mean the tractor is a 1996 or newer. It sounds like a fair price even if the tractor has the standard 9/3 transmission.

1) What switch goes in the blank area beside the two rocker switches for lights and flashers? (2) Is there a NH factory rear worklight kit available and is the wiring harness already in place? (3) Does the 16LA loader bucket have a float position? Thanks

Glen;
I purchased a 3 point mounted "ballast box"(BB) for my 4WD-HST4200 and have used the front end loader with and without the BB. My experience has been that the BB not only enhances traction, but also lends a bit of stability for those times when using the loader, especially when dumping the bucket while on a crossways slope.
I estimate my filled BB @~400 pounds as loaded with rocks and log chains,
