Forgot to mention JD 855 is 4X4 and although the tractor has 239 hrs., the backhoe has only 40 hrs. Owner has all manuals and service receipts.

After looking at all the different colored tractors, I followed the advice of a guy who has owned a bunch of tractors - mostly Kubotas. He told me to look which tractors are being trailered around by the landscape people, those who make a living with their equipment. Just ordered a B7500/HST/R4's/302 Loader. Price is $12,800 + PA sales tax. Three dealers within a 1/2 drive gave prices of $13,900, $13,200 and $12,800 for the same unit. All were told I would make a decision and buy within two weeks, and I wouldn't be coming around beating them up for $100 at a time - just give me your best shot now. Deilvery should run about a week, and that should give me plenty of time to tidy up the old Ford 1210 and get it ready for sale before Spring.............chim

Cameron, I just bought a Ford 1310. Do you know if any parts are interchangeable?? I'm too ignorant of the tractor to know right off what needs fixing. Does anyone out there now of any common things w/ the 1310 that I should look into getting spare parts off the 1320?

I know you must get tired of me and the trivial tech. information I have collected.
I worked with color matching as most recently on a new polymer system for coated fabrics (artificial leather). This involved color printing with essentually paint and the colour match of the base.
I laughed a I read this post as I figured Jim had opened another can. It is really difficult to match paint exactly and the problems are endless. You can use the same pigments, formulation, solvents, and application technique and still have differences. There are a myriad of reasons why. I have spend nearly a day on a single match and determine that I had metamerization. I had to settle for second best.
I am sure that there is color variation in the green from the factory off the assembly line. Definately between lines .
I have bought JD green from JD and off brands. I think the green I had was a better color match from JD. Your tractor fades so even if perfect to the original it might not match.
I have bought the yellow from JD and it certainly was not the same as the yellow on the wheels. A poor match to my original, but as the tractor was assembled in Japan it might have been a poor match to the standard to begin with.
It is a tractor what do you expect. If you look closely I am sure that the various component assemblies are different colours.
If you cannot match the Lexus from the colour code, how can you get a perfect match out of the can at the JD counter? The Ag counters might be better. At least the JD price is competitive at least from what I have seen.

Dan, you are absolutely right. In the hemodialysis these exact principles are used to extract extra water from the bloodstream across a semi-permeable membrane. It is accomplished as you have described and measured and calculated in millimeters of mercury vacuum and called in common parlance “negative pressure”

This discussion caused me to do some reading. What I thought was clear in my mind doesn't seem to be. Sorry if I created some confusion, although thinking about it may clarify thinking in more minds than my own.

After reading my repair manual, it seems that the draft control lever is used to select depth. The lever adjusts sensitivity of the draft feedback mechanism to the control valve. A sensitive setting triggers lift with a light draft so a sensitive setting equals a shallow depth relative to soil condition, implement type etc. Meanwhile, the manual indicates that the position control lever sets the minimum operating depth for an implement while operating under draft control. Under position control, it sets the maximum depth.

My reading indicates that draft control operates pretty much the way I didn't think it did. Essentially, implement depth floats on feedback provided by a small leaf spring behind the top-link bracket. With medium sensitivity settings, the depth is somewhere in the middle of the lift range, and the control can respond to changing draft conditions by either raising or lowering. The design is a continuous feedback idea that is capable of responding to draft increases or decreases.

Of course, given the small success I have with trying to feather my position control, I don't know how continuous the feedback mechanism is in practice. That’s the difference between book learning and experience I guess. Too bad I edited out a comment similar to Bird's that I haven't used a tractor with draft control from my first post.

Thanks Jim. My impression is that standard top-links aren't that great for mowers and also that flexible and chain links were different and commonly used. I noticed a typo in my first post. I should have said that I don't think mowers produce as much top-link compression rather than I think they do. Some year I might be able to proof read on the screen.

I hear the term 'percent bottoms' mentioned in connection with used dozers. I believe it's percent lift remaining in the tracks. I don't know how such a thing might be calculated, but like Peters noted, tracks are very expensive. Condition of the tracks seems to be the real deal maker or breaker in used dozer deals.

The pic looks pretty good. It might even be the same PHA I've got. The simple version of a stand I've heard of is just chaining the auger to a heavy low tree limb.

At the moment, my auger is folded on top of my 3ph forklift, which is usually what I use to put implements in my trailer or 1/2-ton bed (tricky without the forklift because there's a cap on the bed). I think I put the auger on top of the forklift using a bit of help from the loader and wife. Both were tarped over the winter (the auger and forklift that is), and I've really got to solve my shed space problem. If I keep going in this vein, I’ll likely have other problems to solve as well.

As you've probably discovered, augers are very awkward things. Take care with them. Injuries are common when mounting them and when operating them. I usually want some help when getting them on and off them.

My comment is an operations tip and not about the HST issue. I always have jerkiness backing up to an implement. I have gears rather than HST.

Most of the time I can put at least one lower link in the bracket the first try. I used to get on and off the tractor trying to line up the pins better and lever the implement around with a pry bar. Now I point the loader bucket down and dig it in. I can move the tractor a few inches back and forth with the loader curl. If an implement isn't quite square to the hitch, I put in the closest lower pin and then push the tractor back with the curl. Most times it squares up the implement.

I may still have to align pins using the 3ph leveler sometimes and occasionally a pry bar, but I virtually never use the TX to make fine position adjustments anymore.

As mentioned, I'm in southern York County...Windsor Borough, to be exact.

Picked my Deere up at Southern York Turf and Tractor.
They cut me a nice deal on the 670 (600 hours, included two new front tires and a Befco 5" finishing mower) for $8500.

I'd definitely deal with them again...even though Kubota's got me started looking, green is cool too.

I am looking for a 48" tiller for my John Deere 650 tractor. I like the chain drive king kutter model (USA made) but the minimum HP requirement is listed at 20HP. Has anyone used this model tiller with under 20HP? Am I looking for trouble with this tiller and my 15HP tractor? Any comments on 48" Caroni ( listed range 15-40HP, chain drive) or 48" Sicma (kioti) tillers ( 20-35HP range, chain drive)
(Made in Italy)? All three are the same price with slip clutch ( $999)

Greetings all, new to the group, been reading for a few days and have learned a lot. I am purchaing a new Kubota L4310 and woods 7500 backhoe. I am trying to decide whether to go with the pto pump hookup option or to run it off tractor hydraulics. Dealer is trying to sway me towards the pto pump option but I like the cleaner setup of running it off the tractor directly. Should be comparable cost { PTO pump is extra but so is getting the remote hydraulics to the back of the tractor} Anyone have any thoughts on which will be the more powerfull /better option?

I have an older arps 3pt hitch mounted backhoe currently in use on a IH 684 with pto pump, the pump always has to be tied down or it will clatter around and I thought running off the tracotr might make the unit a little more powerfull but I don't know enough about the specifics to be sure. I don't run the tractor at pto speed unless I really need the digging power so I spend a fair amount of time digging at half throttle where I figured tractor hydraulics might be throwing out more power to the backhoe.

Ohh one more question, the woods 7500 is available with 8" to 24" bucket sizes. From reading earlier posts am I to presume that digging with a 24" will be arduous/slow with a backhoe in this size? (I'm not trying to knock any trees over or remove any boulders just want to move more dirt faster for the occasional excavation project.

thanks for any recommendations,

Sean

There is also another advantage to having a front end loader, even if it is used for nothing else.

My brother in law will often get stuck while working near a creek on his place. He just lowers his loader into the ground enough to lift the front end and pushes his tractor backward with the loader. it has worked every time he has been able to reach solid ground with the loader blade.

Until now, I have only owned Ford tractors and they have been really older models. This JD 970 seems to be a really good unit but all the JD tractors friends own have slower hydraulics than what I am accustomed.

I have enough time though that speed is not a problem.

K., I bought my TC40D with supersteer, 17LA, loaded R4s, HD bucket with hooks,and block heater for 22,200. I love this machine and would recomend it to anyone. I'm glad I spent the extra 1000 for the SS. The extra $$ for the "D" model also gets you much more than just the hydro. Good luck, TK
