Don, normally during any assembly process you have the potential top get shavings left in the cases. Were there any shavings in the oil at the 10 hour drain? What are the shavings, are they brass or steel? Are you getting noises from the front end now? If you have a loader use it to raise the front of the tractor and see if it's making any unusal sounds when you spin the wheels. be sure to notify the repair shop that did the work for you. I would definitely try changing the oil more frequently to see if this persists. art

John, I am a kubota dealer and I don't know who he sold those to but there must have been something going on that I've never seen. On the originals back in theearly 90's there was some trouble with cable adjustments but none of that in4-5yrs. there is a update on some for the clutchpacks but still not a clutch problem. You need to feather the clutch to get your bucket full, the glide shift is for clutchless effort shifting. art

You won't find anything more accurate then a Vicon Pendulum spreader, it will spread anything that is dry flowable, but you will need a different spout for sand.

Often when selling these cute little tractors there are several things that haven't been brought up in these conversations. I-H introduced hydro tractors in the 60's although many were sold to operators under the wrong pretense's there are still many out working in the field today turfman is definitly right on with that statement. Lets talk learning curves, which do you think you could become most proficient at the soonest, how about a son or neighbor, or wife, or grand child. Lets be real, on the most of these tractors sold to a home owner the average hours for mowing and driveway cleaning is approximatly 50 to 75 hours a year. That gives you roughly 1500 hours in 20 years. Whats the easiest to sell? Hydros because they are the easiest to use. Something else that hasen't been brought up is the fact that on hills as long as you are not on cruise you actually have a dead man petal and the tractor will stop. Being on both sides I've seen far more clutch jobs go thru my shops than I have hydro rebuilds. Another point is the hydro gives more freedom of speed with less effort. No shifting required. But it still is Your decision and preference after all it is your money.

paul, I'm a dealer for both or at least two of the lines you mentioned and have the option of the third. i have seen our customers swap from one to the other and vise-versa. Most often it is the controls or features. I,m in a area in central N.Y. were we only stock four wheel drives, and mostly hydro's in the smaller kubotas and cubs. weight is a factor as to what the job reqiurements are. The most important factor to weight is the balance of it from front to rear and the type of weight. With a loader in heavy work it should be at 75% rear and 25% front. The type of weight is also important as calcium in the tires as long been the most economical it is not the most efficient. The weight difference as far as the tractors go is like a fishermans story. I know the kubotas always show up light on paper but as a dealer of them for 15years I've never had any one say they were to lite nor any one tell me a cadet is to heavy.

pete, the people who wrote back I believe are right, I'm a dealer in central N.Y. and would be glad to show the differances in gear to hydro to you.there are normally 2 to3 ranges in hydro drive tractors. In digging conditions normally low or second range is best. high range is meant as a traveling range. the unit you were using might have been low on oil, if multi ranged in the wrong range, or just not built for what you wre doing. There is new terminalogy out there called pick and carry. IT was first used with skid steers and is meant to pick loose loads and carry, NOT DIG! It doesn't mean people won't dig but it is not at it's best doing that. With a hydro if using the machine to it's fullest you dn't need to spin your tires to fill your bucket but yes your hydro will moan some, less if in the proper range. be more than glad to throw another two cent's out if need be just e-mail <br>

the tractor you mentioned definitly needs a block heater to start in that temperature range. The differance between gas and diesel engines in starting and as simply as I can say it is the gas engine has spark plugs to ignite the fuel. Adiesel engine does it by compression and explosion of fuel, the explosion gives heat which in turn makes it more efficient as it gets to operating temperature, and of coarse creates less smoke. I've had two in trade last year and you do need the heat. If you wish to keep it in your attached garage than by all means get it with a heater. you won't regret it. A little cold wheather advice from upstate N.Y.

I only hope if you do find one it would be more benifical than the ones installed on the B7100. It may be due to the larger hydralic system but it may be wise to trade up if it is a real problem for you.

Alan, the first thing I,d look at would be the wheel hubs that connect the wheel to axle they might loosen up causing the pboblem you are describing. It is not normal and can normally be fixed by tightening the hub.

jay, With being a case-ih dealer if you were maybe a ih dealer than you should know that mitsubishi originally represented it self here as well as yanmar before any of the majors looked at them JD-yanmar was first and then IH-mits. The first that came to my knowledge was kubota. You are right about them all having lemons or problems. I as a dealer look to a company that deals with them, not just dances around them. There is no one product that is right for everyone, there is acceptable things to you that are not acceptable to me, that is why there are so many brands. Quality is a touchy word, what is quality and what do people accept. I sell husky and stihl chain saws, had a short line rep stop in and tell me I should be selling his parts rather than oem I asked him why, when oem quality should be better! He told me I'd see my customers more often and make more money. I asked him to leave would you? Jay check your facts on timing on mergers as to what happened first, get back to me if I'm wrong sometimes my memory does goof up but in general I don't forget my metal.

Please show me these instructions for operation from an owners manual I must have missed that section . All of what you just said can be done and should be done with wheels on the ground. You are a warrentee claim waiting to happen.
