Yeah I know what you mean about quality Frank, you have to remeber LandPride is owned by Great Plains and they really made a name for them selves in the ag industry with their drills. I have know farmers who were very loyal to their color of equipment but when it came to drills those red tractor pulled green (Graet Plains green that is) drills.

Just wondered if anybody has bought or thought about buying the Xtra Armor package? Does anybody know the cost for a 4310 kit? Can't find any info on the Deere site about it, probably overkill anyways but then again might save the hood someday.

I was pushing some small trees today and the tractor got real muddy so I hosed it off, after the hosing is when the tach started go backwards, but like I said earlier it wasn't right before today.

Went and visit my tractor today, dealer is bringing it out saterday afternoon. The story I got on the transmission was Deere made two days worth of bad shifter forks and they had to replace it at the factory. Don't know if the story is true or not but do feel a whole lot better after seeing the tractor and talking with the dealer. Did catch a couple of things that were not part of the deal though, He said He would trade the Deere blade for Gator blades witch was not done yet and it had a standard grade bucket on it, I ordered a heavy duty. When I called these things to His attension He did show me the Bucket I am getting and promised the Gator blades would be on by saterday. Seems like honest mistakes but you do have to watch out for yourself.

Don't know about a tiller helping push you, have heard of tillers taking out tractor rearends because they are pushing against the tractor.

As far as brand goes you are going to get a different opinion every time you ask someone, some guys wouldn't own anything but the color they have other guys are happy with a cheap Chinese tractor. The only one that can decide what is best for you is you.

I think Tractor Supply has King Kutter, don't have any experience with them but they look like the economy model. Land Pride makes some of the best compact tractor tools out there (in my opinion), they are a division of Great Plains. Great Plains got their start building drills in the ag industry and earned a very good reputation from that. Land Pride offers many different style finish mowers and if I didn't go with a MMM I would have probably bought a Land Pride rear discharge.

Hey Ken do you have the standard duty or the heavy? When I was pricing tractors I asked one dealer for a price on a Frontier 72" box scraper, He quoted me $758.00 but I didn't learn till later there were two models. Looking at my quote now it says BB1072, I assume this would be the lighter one since that dealer also tried telling me a heavy duty bucket wasn't worth buying.

I think after a year or two your resale questions will all go out the window and you will decide you don't want to be without your tractor.

I've got it Frank, a belly mounted flame thrower! We'll mount a 100 pond LP bottle on the 3pt and a weed burner under the tractor pointing out the side. You'll be able to burn as you drive (hopefully not literally!). What do you think, should we patent the idea?

Art brings up a good point about compation, I read somewhere when tractor first started being used alot of farmers refused to use them because fear of compaction, it turned out they were doing more compacting with their mules and horses then the farm tractors of that time (Farmall F20, Allis Chalmers WC etc. or even earlier).

I do agree that Deere is trying to make people buy their implements but I also think peopke are willing to pay more for convenience. This whole problem is nothing new, quick couplers have been around in the farm industry for years with implements being different widths.

I believe a 755 is only 20 HP, I can't imagine cutting in a driveway with that. My drive was cut in with a dozer then 2x3 limestone for a base followed by #73 limestone, I think a 755 would have a heart attack before you got much done.

Maybe just get the tractor and loader first, use it for a while then you will better understand what you need.

Just wondering if anybody has tried Gator Blades on their mower. They are an after market mower blade that is supposed to have a better lift and mulch effect on grass. How well do they work and how much do they cost?

$750.00 is the price Deere has on their web page, but that just includes cylinders and hoses. The kit requires the tractor to have the hydraulic diverter and remotes.

I wonder why they list a 60" standard and a 60" 7Iron? Doesn't sound to me like they are all the same.

Could go with a compact and a post hole digger, would be easy on the grass and should still be cheaper than a hoe.
