I checked the archives but did not find anything specific on the Swisher Postmaster. I could not find anything that would answer simple questions on how good the machine works. I am hoping I can get a reply because I don't want to buy one without some information.

Never run a mower or tractor without ear protection. Most of us old farmers can't hear out of our left ear from sitting on a tractor and looking back.

Also another lesson that I learned the hard way. Wear eye protection because a small stick kicked out of a mower deck bounced off a tree can put numerous stiches in across your face. Also it will reduce your allergies.

Beware. Is it really covered under your home owners? Many insurance companies due to the bad investments and recent claims have made changes in policies. Most home owners policies will cover your lawn tractor if it is on your property. Most will not cover your tractor if your are in a right-of-way, side ditch or when your put it on a trailer. Please be sure to question your agent in detail.
Also check your liability coverage for mowing a ditch.

Neuman,
Sounds like the 4100 will serve your needs well. I've never heard of sovema either. I just checked out the sovema web site. It looks like a good piece of equipment. If the mower works and your satisfied with the results, then keep it. In looking at the cost of new sovema mowers, I wouldn't be too quick to get rid of the mower.

good luck Ron

The front tread width is adjustable on mfd utility tractors. You might not have as many choices as a 2wd,but you do have some.

Take a good look at the Mahindras before you buy. The Century/Branson lines are good choices also.

I use a Land Pride and am happy with it.
The Deere iMatch looks to have a handle that is made from shafting, instead of the stamping on the Land Pride. It is easier on the hands. Deere's price is very competitive and should be a better unit than the TSC.
My recommendation: go with the Deere due to the handle design and price.

Slowrev, I don't think any new metal or change of designs would ever change your mind. The International 1066 in the early 70's with the legendary RPM at the time of 2700 and 2800 at the time was unbelieveable to many people when they introduced it. After all, most diesels at that time only revved to about 2000. Those lower revving engines were all based on 50's technology and were made out of softer metals by far than the Melrose engines were. Crankshafts needed turning for nearly every rebuild, egg shaped, not like the newer ones where only if you starve the oil system will you need to turn it. Standard to us was to drop a 4500 rpm govoner spring into the pump and lets go pull! We turned them up more yet, and run like no tommorrow and never grenaded one!!! The wider RPM band allows to build an engine with less overall stress than a high torque, low rpm engine with less flexability of range.

I recently traded my TC18 with the old style loader arms for a new TC24D with the new style (12LA)loader setup. The new system is a huge improvement over the old!!! Try one before you buy...you'll agree!!!

I think you are describing the "bar turf" tires found on Kubota BX and other small tractors. I have not seen this type of tire in the sizes found on a B7100.

A viable option might be to find a mud and snow radial made for a pick-up or SUV. I really like the radial tires I have on my JD 4100.

I purchased a 3pth blower a few years back at an auction of surplus municipal equipment, it had been used to clear walkways, etc, at a public housing complex (according to a municipal employee at the sale) and had been fitted with a safety sheild which was a steel grate made from 1/2" x 2" flat bar welded into a grid with openings about 6" square, he said it did not interfere with the operation at all, other than it added tremendously to the weight of the unit. It was ugly as sin, but for the money, $100, I bought it anyways. I've only used once myself, just to see if it worked, which it did, and no, it did not change the function noticably.

However, in your case it wouldn't help to get the rocks out of the way, just stop them getting to moving parts.

Best of luck.

I'd talk to the closest Kubota dealer since you'd probably end up doing business there. Maybe I'd think twice about the tractor or another dealership if the dealer doesn't seem agreeable to work with.

If a dealer can't come up with as good a deal for you they shouldn't mind you getting the tractor from somewhere else, and they should be happy for your service, implements and accessory business.

A sales person should be able to come up with a package of factory or after-market implements for the tractor that fits your budget and the tractor as well. It's a lot easier to let sales people do the research, especially for people who may not be too familiar with tractors.

Maybe for your own piece of mind you could be at the dealers when another TC-20 is running so you'd be able to compare the sounds of two different engines.

In generally, a diesel is just fine as long as it starts easily and doesn't make exhaust smoke except a bit of gray until it warms up and then on acceleration. Almost everything that's out of adjustment or wrong with a diesel will make it smoke.

I don't know if the mechanic adjusted the valves during the servicing and if so whether there was any change in the sound. The mechanic may be waiting until the 50-hour servicing to go through the adjustments. For all I know, excessive valve clearances may be desirable during the initial break-in. Wide valve clearances do make valve heads run a bit cooler.

I'm guessing that the valve-train and the diesel knock are separate questions. Many diesels do have a characteristic knock or ping and clatter that is normal and isn't pre-ignition knock. In addition to what Peters said, seriously wrong fuel of excessive use of gas engine additives also could give pre-ignition. I say seriously wrong fuel because I run lighter #1-diesel during the winter rather than standard #2 and it doesn't give me pre-ignition. I use #1 fuel because there is little potential for it to gel during cold weather and it starts a bit easier than #2.
