Drive tractor till the valve stem is on top. The calcium level should be below the valve stem. If not carefully drive the tractor on the side of an incline, again with the valve stem in the highest postiion. Good luck.

There are also adjustable hooks/linkage at the lift arms that change the lift height of the backhoe. This is not a hard adjustment to make, however I would agree with Abbeywoods... Have the dealer who sold you the tractor/backhoe adjust it correctly. You should expect your tractor to be set-up correctly to start with. Enjoy your new backhoe.

Woods and Buhler (FarmKing) are both good mowers. The Woods is a bit heavier construction, but slightly higher priced. If you have a JD dealer near by, you can look at their "Frontier" line. They have a Heavy-duty line (made by woods) and a light duty line (made by befco)of finish mowers.
You might also consider a belly mount finish mower, if mowing around alot of obstacles. With the belly mount mower, if you turn the tractor right... the mower goes right. With a rear mount mower however, if you turn right.. the mower will swing to the left. Could cause damage to fences or small trees if not cautious while making tight turns. Mid mount mowers are easier for less experienced tractor operators to operate. You can look down and see the mower, instead of having to look back. Just something to consider. Belly mount mowers however, do cost more and are not as easy to install and remove as a 3 pt mower.

Glenn,<br>
Case was owned by Tenneco. Tenneco purchased Ingersoll (which is why the case lawn tractors looked like Ingersoll) I believe it was when case and IH merged that Ingersoll was sold off, not for sure about that.<br>
Whatever brand you decide to purchase... I would suggest you buy from a good dealer. That will be important when you want to buy attachments or need service down the road. <br>
The scotts models mentioned were built by JD only for a few short years. The early model scotts were built by MTD?? So make sure what you're looking at with those. The New 2004 Model G110 (that is sold at HD) is a lighter machine than the G100. Same size engine and deck, just lighter frame and no tiller option.<br>
I would suggest you look at the new 2004 GX255. This model has a 20 hp Kawasaki V-Twin engine, Power steering, Differential lock, 48 or 54 inch mower deck, Priced less than $6000.

Swampfox,
What I would suggest to you is go to your dealers and see if you can get a demo unit to try for a day or two. Compare the two or three units you are considering, then buy the one you like the most. I personally like the two pedal hydro controls on the JD better than the treadpedal on the Kubota, especially after running them for several hours. The JD also has turning brakes on the left side for easy brake assisted tight turning. Also the hydraulic on the JD make for faster cylcle times if you plan to do alot of loader work.
But I also think both the JD and Kubota are good, reliable machines. And I am sure you would enjoy either one of them. Good luck with your tractor purchase.
