I've been looking through all the messages and it seems that many of you know more than my JD dealer. I've been having problems with the all amazing e-hydro since the day I bought it. When changing directions, (reverse to forward, or forward to reverse) the tractor pauses and then jumps to where it should have been. It's almost like it has to think about what I tell it to do, and then suddenly decides its OK. It makes no difference if I floor it, or just move the pedal to creep forward, the jerk is the same. It's kind of difficult to look like you know what your doing when your head is getting ripped of your shoulders all the time. The problem is hardly noticable when the tractor is still cold, which is why the dealer still hasn't got it fixed. You would think they would take the time to warm it up after trying to fix a problem for the 8th time. This jerk only happens when changing direction. If i travel forward, stop, and then continue forward, its smooth as silk. Same thing going backwards. Does anyone have some info that I can beat my dealer over the head with? (no "should have bought a kubota" please.) The service guys have been doing their best, but they have an order they have to follow for waranty work, so its really JD itself that i think sucks in this case. Help?

I have heard great things locally about Kubota, so I've mostly been looking at them. Anyway we have 29 acres, 12 relatively flat and currently hayed by farmer. I want to open up another 5-7 acres after they are bulldozed for fruit orchards and vines for wine grapes. maybe just a hobby, maybe part of an entertainment winery/tourist attraction. Grade is not flat in back where orchards will be, maybe 3 percent to 8, and there is some limestone outcropping in places. need to keep creekbeds clear, need to have trail maintained to pull timber out of woods for heating.<br>Questions: 1) other than option to bale do i need 35 HP or over. 2) What is a good Kubota for small orchards? i assume wheel base is of some importance, as well as turning ability on a grade. 3) Lots of talk about 4310 but little on M4700, which is pitched by Kubota as best all around small ag/orchard/landscaping tractor. Is this a new model? Is there any reason other than price to avoid low M series and go with high end L series? M4700 looks more like a farm tractor to me, and is not that much bigger in size or wheelbase. <br>Anyway some have said that I could just get L2350 for $8500 used and its fine, but implements seem to be quite restricted as to their ability, and I will be doing things around the farm, and it seems like if one is going to have a loader it should be able to load some heavy stuff.<br>Any helpful advice would be appreciated. It would be nice to have a bale option, but there are so many farmers around here that bale it really doesn't make a huge degree of sense to pay a lot for just this capability. <br>This board offers a truly great service to novices, best wishes to all of you.<br>Chris<br>
