I have a JD 49 Backhoe on a 5220. The dealer has just replaced two hoses that run from the control valves through the bottom of the frame and up the main arm. Before using the backhoe again, I extended it so that I could grease it. One of the new hoses is already pinched. Is anyone aware of this problem? Is there a fix?

Good timing, just yesterday I called half a dozen septic system installers, designers and maintenance companies with the same question. The response I got from the folks who seemed most knowledgable was not to worry about it. I was asking about a 3000# tractor, they said as long as you're not digging ruts it would be fine. One said that they use large backhoes when the put them in, and that doesn't do any harm. This was interesting since I was expecting folks to come out with the easy answer which would be 'don't drive anything on it', and in fact a couple of them did say that, but they were the receptionists who didn't put me in contact with other folks in the office. Be sure to know where your tanks are though, I was cautioned about making sure not to drive on them.

Thanks again for the ideas. I could use a mower on my drainfield area (if the weight's OK, still trying to find that out), I'd like to keep my options open for the future in case I wanted to keep the machine. The more I read on this board, the more I want to keep a tractor. I'm thinking hauling wood for a wood stove, moving big rocks for landscaping, maybe sweeping the driveway, some clearing work etc! Also trading time with a neighbor by helping him out with the tractor in return for him helping me out with the retaining wall.

My 755 came with turf & when the fronts wore down I replaced them with 23degree firestones using the same rims.they don't tear up any sod unless it's locked in. It sure gave me alot more bit on the front when plowing & discing!

The pipe is welded to the end of the existing exhaust and has a bracket that is just under the hood so you can still pull the screen of the front of the tractor. I can't open the right engine sheild as far as I could before but It comes off easy. It cost me $25 for this to be done.

I belive that would be addvantage with HP ratings as well. There are alot of tractors that I don't know (sometimes the model numbers mean nothing to a person that know nothing about a certan brand)

I live in a small town. I do alot of garden-plowing,tilling,dirt removal,hual dirt in & landscaping as well as grass seeding ect. I've even dug footings for a house addition, I even dug my basement right next to my house 20 x 20 plus the overdig! Yes your new toy can do alot of small work that a garden tractor can't do. A big tractor is to big in some cases. My 755 makes me alot of extra cash per year & I havent menchioned snow removal (when & if it snows)
Good luck

I agree with Jon,Your 4100 should handle a box blade & they work very well. How ever it sounds like alot of hand work for the rocks, but in time it works, I'm still picking up rocks several times a year in my garden.

I have a 755, with turfs & the front worne out so I got r-1 for the front the same size as the turfs was. with turfs on the back (as long as I stay out of the mud they do great)When I plow or field or loader work the r-1s on the front do alot better job than the old ones did. When mowing I have not noticed any scuffing no matter how tight I turn, but keep in mind I don't need 4WD to mow grass! I got a set of firestone's with a 23 degree tread, it's not as sever of angle as normal r-1s. I might be CRAZY be it works for me!<br>Dana<br>
