tractortips.com, which is my usual source for specs, doesn't list the B7500--too new I guess. The difference between the two HP's mentioned is about right for a typical difference between engine and PTO HP. There are various definitions for HP, and various places in the drive train that are sometimes speced. However, PTO HP is the rating most commonly used. Perhaps the smaller rating you recall actually was PTO HP.

I heard a story about wheel weights. Don't know if it was something actually done or just thought about. The idea was that the person had some old brake drums, apparently with the same bolt pattern as his tractor wheels. His idea was to melt lead and fill up the drums--leaving access to the wheel studs I guess. That doesn't sound like a real good idea to me, but it does illustrate the lengths some people will go to avoid both tire fill and commercial weights. I'd want to be sure any home made weights wouldn't loosen the wheel studs. I'm thinking more along the lines of creative uses of old barbell sets--maybe across the ROPS bars. However, that wouldn't put weight below the centre of gravity, which is a good idea when adding ballast. It's real tough trying to figure where to hang weight on a tractor that is below the axles and doesn't compromise operation or ground clearance.

There are some ideas in comments to a thread titled 'dead battery’ The basic idea is that failures in the alternator and regulator can result in battery drain even with everything off. Another explanation could be that the alternator output isn't enough to recharge the battery during operation, or that they battery cable terminals are corroded.

Thanks Dave, I don't always have a firm grasp on history. Yes, 1715 is what I remember now. It's coming back to me, and it restores my sense of normality. Bigger numbers usually mean more, not less, stuff.

Ups, a B600 is what I have too. I second the other comments. I like the hoe, and it has worked well for me. The Kelly 3ph mount uses a plate that is u-bolted to the draw bar and two additional top links that run from the plate to the upper hoe frame. I believe these top links serve to lock down the 3ph and also distribute some load onto the drawbar. I believe it's a good system, but it must be kept in adjustment to do its job. However, the entire load still is taken on the rear cases. The mount doesn't address failures that do occur in front of the draw bar mount. Another discussion here indicates that sub-frame mounts don't entirely address this issue either. I think the best thing is to recognize that no tractor is built like a dedicated hoe. Users of tractor equipped hoes should not imitate some of the operations that can be commonly seen done with dedicated hoes. It's also good to recognize that the 3ph must be locked down for safe use of a 3ph hoe, and there is the possibility that hitch lever can be bumped into a lift position. Happened to me once, and it took awhile for me to recognize the signs of the engine under heavy throttle and the relief valve screaming, but no damage done.

As for digging with the Boomer - It all depends on the soil. Just for the fun of it (and to see if I could do it), I dug a hole in my garden last fall, that with my TC-29D in the hole I had to climb UP to get out of the hole! It blew my mind. I didn't really expect it to dig such a hole. I had to use FWD & low range, (w/R4's) but it did it!

Craig, I'm glad the pictures helped. Like I said, the down pressure on the Curtis setup screws up my steering more than I thought it would, so if you can build yours to use the weight of the plow for pressure and keep the lift chain for the "float and lift" operation it would be better than a new Curtis. Good luck with the project. By the way, the wife just bought the Cherokee Limited tonight. She felt the Grand was just too big for her, guess that's why they call it the Grand, huh? The rebate jumped another $500 so I suppose that helped her decide.

I have a 4700FEL/BH with over 150 hours since last fall. I have had absolutely no mechical problems. I worked this tractor hard removing brush and trees and digging drainage trenches. I am looking forward to the spring to continue clearing land. My only concern is if the 4700 is has enough power for the additional attachments, such as a dirt scraper.
Good luck in whatever you decide, but do not let problems with machines cause you to get ulcers or have a heart attack.

I just bought a 4100 HST, DSCV, Turf, 413 rotary cutter, 5 weights and a 48" befco box scrape with tax for $12,890. The rotary cutter and scrape were about $1500. The dealer told me that he would install a FEL for $2300 and a 60" mower for about $1200. Working backwards your price would be around $14,900. So that is in the ballpark for what you paid. As for the trailer, you NEED the tandom and it needs to be fairly heavy duty with brakes. I pull mine on a 16' and you have to be careful that the weight is over the axles and that may mean that you have space in the front of the trailer but hanging out an implement over the back. Hope this helps.

Jerry, before you go too crazy looking for a way to re-engineer you machine, see if you can borrow a hydraulic test kit and get the spec.'s for your machine. Pay extra attention to the pressure relief valves and limit check valves. I don't think you have a pump output problem, but you could have a seriously maladjusted pressure relief valve. Most breakage of the type you described occurs when the boom and dipper are extended in-line and excessive bucket curl forces occur. These forces go straight up to the top link and try to "jack knife" your tractor. Once you rule out hydraulic over-pressure, then look to the less obvious. I, too, am sorry to hear about your misfortune and believe that it was of no fault of your own.

Frank, fortunately I've never had a flat on the rear of my Kubotas, although I have fixed some on the rear of much bigger tractors. And of course, I jacked up the rear of my B2710 to take the weight off the wheels when I put the water and anti-freeze in the rear tires. They really don't seem to think about having a good place for a jack when they design these things. I have both a bottle jack and a floor jack and jack stands, so I wouldn't have a real problem getting a jack under the rear axle housing and picking up the tractor, but of course, it can get quite dangerous if you're not careful. If you lift the back end, be sure the front wheels are solidly chocked, and with a big enough jack, you can put it under the center of the rear axle if you keep in mind that if the weight is not exactly centered the tractor is going to tilt to one side or the other when you lift. I'm sorry, but I probably couldn't help you much without being able to see the tractor and the jack you intend to use. Maybe someone else can help more.

Mickey:

I own a Sitrex 6' side dischage finish mower. I purchased it at the start of last year's mowing season. Over the summer I have mowed many acres of some really tough grass/weeds. I actually have abused it, mowing stuff that I probably shouldn't have. I kept the blades sharpened and the mower greased and it done a fine job without any failures.

It does NOT have antiscalp rollers, which I would probably want if I had to buy again. But for the money I think its a good deal. Less than half the cost of the more popular brands, but so far has been getting the job done- and well!!
