I have some geek questions. I read so much about calcium filled tires on this board. I honestly don't what this is. Everyone, and I mean all of the dealers and all of the farmers I know of, use antifreeze here in Misissippi. Are we missing something down here? Does calcium weigh more? Is it cheaper? Are we ruining our wheels/tires here and we don't even know it? Any info is more than I have now. Thanks.

Looking for comparison price of a 4 WD, ag tires, New Holland 1720 with shuttle shift [$12,700], NH front loader [$2600], and Woods 7500 backhoe w/ subframe, [$5200]<br>I am also looking at the Kubota 3010 GST, but I am not impressed with the local dealer who also sells John Deere. I do not feel the new JD's begin to compare in finish and strength, etc. to either the Kubota or the New Holland.<br>An thoughts would be appreciated.

Have you tried to upgrade lately.

The only advantage that calcium has compared to weights is that it is less<br>expensive. Calcium is a corrosive, and a flat tire is a real hassle. go with the<br>weights if at all possible. <br> I would agree with using the box blade instead of a weight box. It is just<br>as easy to dismount and if you get the type with a flip down cutting edge in<br>reverse it is a handy tool at the same time. The only advantage to the weight<br>box is that it makes the tractor shorter and this is especially valuable if you<br>are turning around in confined areas or next to a hill. this is because the <br>three point does notlift implements as high as one would always want it to.<br>Still, my preference would be for the box. That is what I use, and I have added<br>about an extra 200 pounds in the form of steel plate bolted to the top of the<br>box blade. The top of the box blade can be an excellent place to bolt a large <br>steel box for carrying tools. You will be surprised at how difficult it is to <br>carry a few extra tools on a tractor. Things with handles - like a shovel - and<br>a rake - can be real tricky to mount.<br> Opinions vary on hydro or not. I like gears on a tractor even though I<br>prefer an automatic on my truck....my wife likes hers just the opposite....<br> What else...Oh, JD vs Kubota. A few years ago I would have said JD without<br>hesitation - and probably without much argument. Now I might even lean the other<br>way a tiny bit. Go with the dealer that makes you most comfortable. If you find<br>one who goes out of his way to offer good service, I would feel comfortable <br>saying to go with whichever mainstream brand that he is selling. The best way<br>I can think of to get dealers to understand the premium that customer service<br>can mean to them is to call up a few of their past customers. I can't think of<br>any tractor owner who does not enjoy talking about their tractor. <br> Final word: get more capability than you think that you need. You will use<br>it.<br> Roger L<br>

Looking at Kubota L-275 w/ 750 hours for $6,000. Is this a reasonable price? Also, does this tractor have live PTO?

I bought one last year for moving two very large piles of dirt. It's a 24 inch and on a small 2wd tractor. I was surprised how much dirt could be moved with this little rig. Just don't expect to be in any hurry. I recommend if at all possible to scoop downhill to get the momentum of the tractor working for you. Much like a loader a scoop can also be used to haul fertilizer, hay etc. It's not ideal, but it sure beats a shovel and wheel barrow or shelling out $3,000 for a loader that may get minimal useage.

Had a Ford 2000 gas for 8 years, traded in on NH 1925 for $5000. If it's in good<br>condition, has 8 speed, power steering, & 2 stage clutch, it's worth it. It's a solid tractor, I only traded mine because I wanted the loader and hydro trans on the 1925.

You might check our previous discussion of the subject on 5/28/99. It appears that it depends on the implements you want to use which hitch will be satisfactory.As I said Ive had good luck with the Speeco Quick Hitch with my rotary mover hooked to a Ford 1900. I had to machine down the collars on the lift pin bushing that came with the hitch and modify the top link bracket on my Hico mover, but that was no big deal and now it works fine. Im now modifying a dirt scoop so I can use it too. The lower lift pins used to push the scoop into the pile do not have enough clearance for the hitch. It is necessary to bolt on an extension plate that moves the pins away from the body of the scoop. I dont know how much it will cost to bet the plates made yet but it should be too bad. Also I have recently run across something called a 3PT EASY HITCH ($125) sold by The Stevens Tractor Co. Route 1 Coushatta, Louisiana 71019 (1-800-333-9143). Looks like a slick idea that would require no modification of any implements to get it to work. I might have gotten one if I had seen it sooner.

Just took delivery on a JD 4100 w/hydrostat, turf tires, 60

The dealer was D&G Eqpt. in Mason, Mi. I also got the JD 12 months same as cash deal.
D&G Eqpt. are good, no hassel people to deal with. Other dealers in Mi. wanted
$16,000 for the same setup.
