I purchased the Kelly B750 backhoe today. I can't wait to use it, but first I need to decide how to plumb the hydraulics to my JD4300. The backhoe manual leaves a lot to be desired in explaining the options. The manual says "If an open center tractor hydraulic system is utilized, attach, the backhoe valves pressure hose to the tractor pressure hydraulic oulet, and the backhoe valve return to the tractors hydraulic oil pump." Does this mean that I should install a third SCV with rear outlets and run the hoe off of them by securing the control lever in the open position? I believe the hoe is set up for an open center hydraulic system. My JD manual states that I have an open center system. I was planning to purchase the Power Beyond kit for my tractor, but it the way the manual is written it appears I have to change the plumbing of the Gresen six section valve to use Power Beyond. As you can tell, I don't have experience with hydraulics and am a little confused. There is also a special section in the backhoe manual on JD tractors which states "Purchase a Port Filter Cover (John Deere Part Number AT301970) from your dealer. Install it on your tractor. Attach the backhoe's pressure hose to the tractor quick coupler. Attach the backhoe's return hose to the port filter cover that you installed. Move the control lever on the tractor so that it starts a flow to the backhoe valve and secure it in the full open position." Is this for older JD tractors? It goes on to state that this is done to get a direct connection to the JD master pump in order to insure that there is oil in its sump at low rpm. I plan on calling the manufacturer tomorrow for more details, but any comments would be welcome.

I am about to purchase the Power Beyond Kit for my JD4300 in order to power a backhoe. I have been quoted a price of $190.00. Is this a reasonable price? Is the kit very hard to install? Any feedback from someone who has installed a Power Beyond Kit on a John Deere would be appreciated.

I believe that the Allied brand of tractor is another name plate put on the Chinese manufactured tractors. I have never owned one, but after reading compact tractor discussion boards religiously for the last 4 years, I would not dare buy one. Look on a few sites and say "Chinese tractor" and see what happens. My experience with them is limited to seeing one at the Louisville Farm Machinary show. There was a brand new China Diesel sitting there with a puddle of hydraulic fluid under it.

Make sure you research this model thoroughly. Grey market tractors that are as new as this one are very rare. If that is the right model number, it may be that new. I thought the later model Isekis had a 3 digit model number though. The newer ones can be hard to get parts for unless they are a crossover to an American equivelent, in this case, one of the Massey compacts. If the seller tells you it is a Massey cross, make them prove it. I have been selling the greys for almost 4 years now and have seen people buy tractors that they thought were crossovers, only to be disappointed.

I know this is going off on a tangent, but MLS I would check with the dealer that sold you the 4100 and ask if the loader drop you discribe is normal. I would not think it is. I have a Yanmar 30hp with a Koyker loader I installed and I can leave it up without any drop. Once about 3 weeks ago, I left it up for 6 days without any drop. This was an experiment and not something I do often. I worry about the neighborhood kids getting squashed by a loader bucket should they mistake my tractor for monkey bars.

The American, Non-Grey Market Yanmars are so rare that you would probably have a difficult time finding a junked one. Try some of the grey market Yanmar dealers because a lot of them have Yanmar parts dealerships.

I believe Mike S. is correct. The 4200 and up are JD engineered tractors that use a Yanmar engine, but the 4100 is still a pure import Japanese tractor. If you read the back cover of the 4000 brochure it says something like "the 4200, 4300, 4400 are proundly made in the USA", but does not say anything about the 4100.

Terry posed the question on whether anyone with 2wd tractors was
having the scuffing problem, or was it only the 4wd axle. Can any
2wd users answer this?

Also, Is the reason the older Deeres don't scuff because they don't
turn as sharp?

The YM1700 was built from 1975-1977. The price is high. I sell grey markets as a sideline business and I would sell one with a new rotary cutter for about $3800.

COntact any of the Grey Market tractor junk yards or dealers. The MF205 shared the same engine as the Hinomoto E182/184. The E18 was slightly different.

As more and more people buy these little tractors for lawn maintenance maybe they(Yanmar=JD, and others will make some changes). As I recall the 4100 is still made by Yanmar, and the rest of the 4000 series is American made with Yanmar engines. A few years ago people bought these little tractors to turn their gardens with and to do other

It really isn't a fair price. Mt local Deere dealer priced a JD790 (30hp) with a JD loader and ag tires for $13,800. That is new, not used.

I have just ordered Bush Hog 70-06 rear blade, and will get it in a couple of weeks. The dealer is is concerned that the blade may be too much for my 4200 Deere with loader and turf tires as it weights 510 lbs. I like the blade because of the easy offset adjustment, and figure a heavier blade won't get torn up as easily. Does anyone know if my tractor (weighs 2500 lbs w/o loader and is 20 pto hp) can handle it for snow and driveway duties okay?<br>Thanks,<br>Brent

There was a belly mower availible for the 1010. Does yours have a mid PTO? I don't know if those were standard equipment or not. The one 1010 I looked at had a belly mower running off of a mid PTO.
