On some tractors the rear wheels are two piece, center and rim, where the center bolts to the rim there sometimes is a zig zag square block piece of steel welded on the rim with the hole through it. See if you are mounted to the inside or out side of this bracket. If you are on the outside, move the center plate to the inside of the bracket. For the front wheels on some tractors you can take the left front, flip it and put it on the right front and the other on the other side. By turning the rims backwards they extend out further. I know this worked on my Kubota,don't know about JD but I think they are the same. If you are using a bucket,boxblade or other tools you might not want your tires wider then the tool.

What they now call the tlb series are the b21 L35 and L 48 Then there are the L series L2800 L3400 and L4300 one of my favorites for the money and then the grand L's in all sizes,with all the bells as wistles and transmission choices. I know the grand L's will take a belly mower but I'm not sure about the rest. All will take a hoe of different sizes from 6.5 to 9 foot and maybe an 11 foot digging depth. The L48 and L35 have their own. On the Kubota site, click on tractors , pick a model and click specks, wait for the pdf to open, lots of specs there.

A toolbox ahead of the gooseneck in the truck body and a long trailer that hauls tractor and equipment? Just sold a one year old 25' 7 ton gooseneck for 3200. I'm ten miles east of Bangor on 1A, Bar harbor is about 30 east of me. Check this site out to find places, just keep zooming in, you probably can find your house.

I have a 24"& 16" bucket because I can't use a 12" with a thumb. It is narrower then 16" though. One mistake Deere made on this bucket is they put four teeth on it. The whole front of the bucket is cutting edge with all those teeth. 3 would have been great. If I had known I would have never ordered it.

The 2002 L48 has a self leveling bucket so you don't dump dirt on your head, BUT, it self levels when you try to back drag too. That is when it's a pain in the A double S. Other then that it's a great,tough,powerfull machine.

Try Kaufman trailers, nice people great trailer and price. They sell factory direct, no dealers so you save there, and they have their own delivery people, if they have one coming your way you can get a great deal on shipping. I ordered a 26,000 gvw tandem duel trailer from them. It was delivered in 2 days. Along with my trailer was a few others, one was about 16' long tandem axle tilt utility, it was painted John Deere green with Deere yellow pin stripes, some sweet looking.

2004 JD 110 tlb, back in the shop again. Second machine, 15 hrs on the first,it went back, 235 hrs on this one. Many electrical breakdowns, now worn out parts you would see at 2000hrs.And yes it was very well maintained. Very nice machine to run,agile,balanced,power,does more work then you would ever expect. I have visited three JD dealers, the nearest in my area. None know anything about the machine, they are rude unless they are selling,service managers know less. It is sad when one time sales and the profit margin this year is all that counts as their mother company John Deere, share holder value, investor relations, quartly reports,earnings per share, toys,shirts,trinkits. Never buy another Deere because of it. JCB, Volvo, New Holland, as soon as I can get out of this one.Too bad, a good dealer and I would really love the machine. Time is money and I don't have the time to lose this kind of money. Another week without a machine and 150 miles of towing to and from the dealers.

I don't shop Wally World or Home Depot. Materials in the long run are cheaper at my local building supply, they have people that know something and material comes on a boom truck when and where you want it. The prices of toasters, coffee pots, car parts or what ever, would be the same if they where made in the US, it's all proffit margin to please the share holders. When Nikes where made in New Hampshire they where sneakers that lasted a year with everyday use at a fair price. Now that they are made by kids in sweat shops at 35 cents a pair, they cost three times as much and last 1/10 the time. All profit margin.$165.00 a pair for sneakers and people pay it!!!!!!!

jdmaine, I have a jd 110tlb, had two as a matter of fact. They have the 4 cyl 43 hp yanmar and I would say the same electronics. My first went back after 15 hours and 5 brake downs never to be seen again, the second broke down in 3 hours.Twice on the first machine was the selanoid, no loud clunck just a tick. Then it was sensors in the trap door under the stearing colume. The second machine was sensors too. It now has 218 or so hours and no problems with electric. It's kinda scary when you back out into a road and it quits right on the center line.

Justify?? Yes the tractor will do work around the yard, but chances are you can get that 1/4 acre mowed for 30 to 50 bucks in a few minutes by a tractor for hire. Or the garden tilled for about the same amount, how many years would it take to pay for the tiller alone? How long would it take to pay for a winch if you cut your own firewood or a pto chipper compared to renting one once a year. In all honesty, you didn't buy it to make or save money. Doing what you do, carpenter, lawyer, trucker, thats what makes you money to enjoy the tractor. Compared to other hobbies, racing,flying,etc. it's pretty reasonable dollar for dollar. My point is it's something you enjoy, life is short and if you can move and spread a pile of dirt and it puts a smile on your face the tractor is justfied.

That would be the state tax Murf, then you have to add the federal tax, it seems when gas was around 1.09 sometime last year, the fuel tax totals almost equel the gas price. It is all written out on the Maine pumps, I'll check next time I fuel up. Seems it was 42 or 49 cents a gallon I think?

Cheif, last night at 11 pm I took delivery of a tandem duel trailer, 6000 pounds. Along with this one was another of the same, a skid stear trailer, another car trailer and a 50 foot goose neck car trailer that everything was on,total of 35,000 pounds behind this truck. This is the killer, it was a 2002 Dodge one ton,diesel, he had a chip controller on the dash but even still I couldn't believe it. AND he bought it new and it now has 305,000 miles on it all hauling loads like this. 35000 ponds, my friends tandem axle Mack with a 300 horse 1400 lbs of torque Mack engine isn't rated for that!!!!

I was offered,I think a JD 4300 from the dealer with low hours at what they said was a good price. I asked why it was returned and on sale. They said that the main bearing where the pto shaft goes through wasn't tight enough in the housing and it spun in the casing, tearing the inside of the casing up. The small pieces of metal got in the controll valves and while this guy was mowing his bucket kept dropping, thats why he brought it in. He got another machine. Don't mean to scare ya, it's probably something simple.

Brokenarrow, my trailer just went up foresale. Look at my pictures. It is a 6 ton gooseneck. I special ordered it for the JD 110 tlb. I ordered it with 3 extra feet length from axle to headboard because of the loader being on and the weight of the backhoe I can drive on untill the bucket hits the headboard and it's just right with the toungue weight. Also ordered the D ring tie downs where I wanted them so I could tie down pulling from the front and the rear at a slight angle. It's this years model and tows very nice, with a gooseneck you can jacknife it around when backing to turn. Also the 4x4 GMC diesel is forsale. email me if you are interested or want pictures

I think I can help you picture a backhoe in a different way and will make it easy to run. Picture your backhoe in three parts,parts of yourself not the machine. Your left upper arm where your bicept is, to reach out with it, will reach out with the same part of the machine, the boom. To reach out you would be pushing to bring it in you would be pulling your arm in,to move the upper part of your arm to the left you move it to the left to the right, the right. Now your right fore arm. To pull you move it in to push you move it out. To curl your right wrist and hand you would curl it to the left, to curl your right wrist and hand out you would move it right. Now just hold the sticks while your arms do the digging and you got it.

Ncrunch32 Those people need to go to New Orleans out by the airport. Some of the houses out there are 2 feet under ground on one end. They where buit on slabs and are sliding undergound. No pylons. When your in the city and a truck or bus goes by your car when your sitting still, you can feel your car bounce like it's on Jello. New Orleans is 8 feet below sea level and is all river silt. I have watched them drive 120 foot concrete pylons down town for high rise buildings, the first 60 feet they just push them down, then pound the other 60 ft. I did an addition to an old house on the street closest to the river, a few feet down we found just about everything clay marbles,real old bottles a complete horse shoe set with pin that had sunk over the years and disapeared.

Find a weight lifting bar and weights at a yard sale, cut the bar off and weld it to the 3 point unit your making. That way you can add or remove weight easy, just unscrew the hand nut. Also yard sale weights are every where and cheap. I had a reese type hitch on the front and back of my 4 wheeler for the winch to mount, when the winch was on the back I put the weight bar on the front to add weight when twitching logs.
