You are right about the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ That is why I will keep my old style/loader type, heavy duty bullet proof axle.I bet I will never have an axle failure with it.

Stock Yard Ranch and Supply in Colorado has a good supply of fence insulators,testers and fencers. They carry the best plastic fence insulators you can buy"Red Snapper Brand" I have had these things on fence posts for about 9 years and they have not dry rotted yet. The Dare brand insulators are junk!!!!!!!!!They dry rot in no time.The Red Snapper brand "snap"right on to T-posts and are much easier to install then the Dare brand.I live in WV and they ship UPS to my front door and I have what I want in no time. Nasco farm supply is where I bought my fencer(before I discoverd Stock Yard Ranch and Supply) both are good suppliers.I have 2(keep an extra fencer) Parmac brand fencers,50 mile fencers. I have run lots of 2 line fences,off my electric fencer I have one hot wire from my fencer, going through a lighting arrestor to the top fence wire and the other wire going to other ground rod(3 ground rods for this particular fencer). I just jumper a wire from the top wire at the fence to the other wire and you have electric to both wires.My electric fencer has a built in performance meter,I can look at it in my barn and I can tell from looking at the meter if I have a wire off the fence post and right against the t-post which would be a very low performance,a wire off of the insulator laying on the ground would indicate a poor charge but not as bad as a direct ground.
I too have a meter that has a series of lights that indicate how much of a charge is going through the wires.Another way I can test mine out in the field if you are using a metal t-post is to have a screw driver with a good plastic handle and put the metal part of the screw driver (making sure your hands are on the plastic handle and not touching any metal)against the t-post and the wire and watch for a spark. Be careful and do not get hurt. I had a full grown cow that got here neck between the 2 strands on my fence one time and it killed her,the only thing I can figure is there was a path going into a lot where the water was with a narrow path with a fence on both sides,and the cattle all running into the water must have caught here to trip(on the rough ground) and possibly hurt her leg,whatever reason she could not get up and got electrocuted.I was at work and no one else seen what exactly happened.

I went to the dealer yesterday and picked up my NEW R-1 TIRES and RIMS!!!!!!I took off the R-4 tires and installed the new R-1 TIRES. What a difference,I finally have some tires that can get some bite and really give me some height to the JD 4400(the tractor even looks like it is a size bigger now),I do not have to use 4WD near as much. I have a real tractor now.Anyone want to go to the hill climbs or mudding with me?How about dragging some timber out of the woods? I am ready!!!

I am sorry I did not answer your grounding question the first time. The way my fencer is set up it has 1 wire off of the fencer going to the fence and one wire off of the fencer going to a ground rod.If you buy a fencer it will or should have instructions to make it easy to install.

Where I live the only place you see turf tires are on the lawn mowers and a few small compact tractors used for mowing lawns,no one I know of has any need for a turf tire in strictly a hard smooth ground surface,I have the R-4 tires and they are pretty much useless to me,matter of fact I have a new set of R-1 tires and rims on order as of now because the R-4 tires just don't do the job,I have driven up steep roads here that are freshly cut buy a dozer and low range carrying a brush hog and 2000 rpms full throttle on my JD 4400 is the best it will do,I know I couldn't have made the trip with turf tires. I guess in a tractor pull you are working under ideal conditions,where as out here it is less than ideal.

I know of two dealers that are depleting their 4000 series stock already in anticipation of the new 4010 series which they told me would be late fall or early next year for shipments to begin.

Any John Deere people verify whether or not the 2002 model John Deere 4000 series are going to have any changes for the better and when will they be out to the dealers this fall?

If you have John Deere equipment,it is a worthwhile investment,$75.00 is a lot of money,but once you see these you would be amazed what there is.I did not know there was John Deere bicycles,let alone John Deere barbecues,etc.The catalogs does not have prices.

Hello,<br>I had an interesting find yesterday,I was at my local John Deere dealership yesterday and was talking with a salesman.He wanted to show me a new line of tractors he was going to carry called "Millennium tractors" the smallers tractors have a Kubota engine and the larger ones had John Deere engines.He told me a lot of people came in there and thought the John Deere tractors were too high and he said they would go down the road to the local Kubota dealership,(A lot of people were dollar shopping instead of brand shopping)this was a nice looking tractor,it was red in color,I told him it looked like an International,he did not like my joke.My biggest gripe would me they used a lot of metal where JD used strong plastic(with plastic no dents or rusty scratches).The tractor had a lot of features that you would have to purchase as extra add ons through JD,a few I can remember was a nice canopy that was easy to remove(no bolts) a horn,mirrors,rear work light.He just had one they were putting together,that he wanted to get out to the fairs.<br>Anyone else heard of these?
