Engine filters are easier to find than some hydraulic filters and I guess it's an engine filter you need.

There might be a specific answer posted or in the archives. I think that Tractor Supply, NAPA and some box stores have tables that include tractors for their make of filters but I don't know if Shibaura is included. If the model uses an engine that was in one of the Fords, a NH dealer would have a filter. I think there are some cross-reference tables on-line as well.

It might take too much nosing around to qualify as 'quick' but you'll likely find an engine filter. There are a few stories of hydraulic filters that can't be crossed to something that's readily available.

The 7800 is actually an economy version of the 2910.

It has the same 30 HP engine, transmission, wheels, etc. They deleted the position control on the three point, the deluxe seat and some of the other bells and whistles to keep the price down.

Last I checked the 7800 and the 2710 were nearly identical in price. The 2710 would provide more refinements and 3 less HP.

I think one of the smaller L series Kubota's would be closer to the specs of your 2150.

Which is better B7800 or B2710

The Armed Forces Insurance Co. folks told me that my 4410 was covered as long as it was for my private use to maintain my property and it did NOT leave my property. The coverage cost was minimal but I contacted them in advance to verify this and make sure they were aware of the new tractor purchase. When I explained to them that I had a similiar sized tractor here for my use for that past 10 years, they were much more at ease about the tractor. It is coverage along with the rest of my home owners items.

Interested to see the JD 5205 and learn about your experience. My dealer has this model and i'm going to go down and give it a test drive. My concern is that I don't understand how the transmission compares to the shuttleshift option on the Kubota M4900. Is there a real difference that will influence my use of the machine? I'm not a commercial user so I suspect not. Also, I'm still not convinced that the orange paint for the same or less money isn't the better buy (that ought to get a rise out of some of you JD guys, I would guess).

Looking forward to your thoughts and to a review of your experience with the 5205. By the way i was told that with a loader this tractor is in the $23-24k range. Does this sound reasonable?

Thanks

Murf: thanks for the reply. As a follow-up, do you weld the "propellers" to the cutting blade or just insert them at right angle (perpendicular) between the blade and the spindle with the same bolt that mounts the blade? In this manner I wonder if the blade mounting bolt is long enough to mount both prop and blade securely (they are special shouldered bolts--its getting more complicated isn't it)

Of course, they could be placed parallel (sandwiched) to and on top of the cutting blade also.

I assume that the metal for these "propellers" can be thinner metal that the blades--say maybe 1/8 inch compared to the 1/4 inch thick blades.

My mower is a Kubota G1800 diesel engine powered 48 inch cutting deck. I use it to chop leaves after I have hauled them to my "chopping ground" and spread them out about 6-12 inches deep. By making 2-3 passes over the leaves in REVERSE I get them to the size I prefer prepatory to composting them or using them as mulch. More suction and air flow would seem to aid this operation.

Thanks for you help.

I agree with Peters. I think the small farmalls like the Cub, 100 and A are more closely related to the modern CUT. I have two cubs and also an NAA the cubs are extremly versitile, more so than the ford. I recognize the importance of the N series, but the mondern tractor is one machine that can be used with what seems like an endless number of implements. ( like the cub) Also there are a huge # of cubs still in use today for belly mowing, sickle mowing,cutivating,planting ect.. I think most Ns are either retired or used occationally and have been replaced by more versitile machines. Before I get slammed for the last statement I said most not all.

Hey Peters,
I believe it's a 10 hp. Looks like a ? Koehler motor.
I have found out that this was used at a church and that the blower works well but stay away from rocks. I have a paved driveway so i'm gonna wing it. I'm gonna hit the local MF dealer to try to get a manual. About the only issue I have found so far is the bowl leaks, another reason to hit the dealer. My wife insists I won't buy anything thats not at least 30 years old then she smiles and sighs.

I have an opportunity to purchase a 1996 Kubota LS 2900 with Kubota loader and backhoe for $12,500. Fair price?

I have talked to a lot of dealers in my research. Many of the internet dealers had much better prices than my local dealers, but then after considering the cost of shipping the unit, the local dealers were in the ballpark.

If you are able to drive and tow back, you can get some great internet deals unless like me, the tow would be 1800 to 2200 miles. I have done a lot of towing of farm implements over the years, and it is no where close to as easy to tow as a travel or horse trailer. 1800 miles is a very long tow just to save a few $$.

I decided to go with and order my B2410 from the local dealer. I asked and got a commitment from them to pick up and deliver back the tractor or any of my implements free of charge for any service work needed for as long as I own the tractor. I figured that working with the local dealer would be more cost efficient in the long run.

Then at the last minute, they asked if I wanted a B2710 for the same price I ordered the B2410. This was just being in the right place at the right time. They are putting the R-1 tires right now on my new B2710.

During my research, I had my dealer deliver two different configured B7500's, both with loaders.

For drill, I swapped the loaders just to see how easy it was. Took me about 15 minutes two switch both loaders first time out. It is really easy. The hardest part was lining the tractors up for the swap.

Here's a vote for JD's MX series of medium duty cutters. They're far from the cheapest but they are extremely well built. My MX5 has no troubles with 2" saplings and scotch broom (tough stuff). If you don't have a lot of woody material you can go with a light duty cutter.

Yeah, the Jinmas seem to be pretty solid and simple machines with reasonable parts prices. No bells and whistles though. I have the impression that most Jinma owners are tinkerers that do most of the repairs themselves. Some of that is by necessity due to the small number of dealers. Before anyone buys one I'd recommend hanging around the chinese tractor board for awhile to see what kind of repairs people are making on them. Myself, I'm very happy with Green and it was worth the extra money to me.

The Branson is and excellent tractor. If you plan on doing alot of loader work you should also check out Century. Same tractor but Century offer the C-50 loader. It is mid mount style and super heavy duty. You can get 67" or 72" buckets as well instead of 61" and 67". Either way the are both excellent tractors and values.
Good luck

The web link below goes to Cross Manufacturing. They have a whole raft of hydraulic parts. Apparently Tisco, another hydraulics source doesn't have a web site.

I think that with the low pump flow on those tractors sticking with small diameter cylinders should provide decent speed but not a lot of power. I guess that 1 1/2" cylinders are what's on it now. I would give some thought to the strength of small shafts. Some of the less expensive cylinders may have softer shafts than are there now and might bend under ordinary loads. I'm not sure how shaft strengths could be compared on the basis of published specs. Maybe finding another 3000 with a double-acting loader already on it and seeing what cylinders are used might be good.

I'm not sure I understand the valving idea but guess you guys have it figured out.

I welded up a little bracket and bolted it to the ROPS where the factory box mounts. That way I didn't have to drill any holes. Bought a cheap plastic open-top toolbox at Lowes and bolted it to the bracket. This is on a TC29, but may give you some ideas.
