I have a JD4410 ehydro that I ordered with the larger 12.4 x 24 R1 tires. I noticed that JD does not list this size tire as an option on the new 3000 series CUTS. Does anyone know why? I really like this size on my tractor and if I decided to upgrade to a 3720 I would like to get this size R1 as well.

Thanks everyone for your inputs; I think I will see how it goes and maybe fab my own. I agree that the cost is high. I do have the skid plates however.

I am curious as to how fast a rate of lift that my 4410 ehydro should have. It seems that it is rather slow regardless of load and engine rpm. Is there an adjustment for lift rate? I know that the drop adjustment works fine.The book says to check the rockshaft filter however my tractor does not have one. Any suggestions?

Thanks Ken for the info; I need to find out if JD will sell only the top cylinder. If not I will go with one from CCM

I have a JD 4410 eHydro with 430 loader;I currently have a 61 in. heavy duty bucket and am considering purchasing a high volume bucket. Question is; will my loader pick up a fully struck high volume bucket with top soil assuming that the tractor is properly balasted? I believe the struck capacity is rated at 15 cu. ft.

Agentorange I agree with what you said regarding technology advancements. I and an engineer with other 30 years experience in the Defense aerospace business and have seen considerable changes in materials over the years. This plastic thing is just amatter of integrety of product robustness and durability. I understand the pros/cons between metal and plastic but I guess it just that plastic sounds cheap and I have had many bad experiences with it. Thanks for everyones inputs on this subject. I am a quality freek and don't mind paying for it.

Art, you can probably answer this one. Can one install 12.4 x 24 or the next size up on a 3830? I know that sometimes bigger is better however I really want to get a tractor width less than 66.5 inches. I like the HP of the 3830 given the frame size.

Thanks kwschum and Chief for your help. I concern regarding the underbelly is that I plan on doing some work in cutover woods where there is considerable trash and stumps. By the way how does that 430 loader perform? Is it strong enough to lift a full bucket of wet dirt?

Chief, have you ever experienced overheating with the hydro under sustained long periods of lugging such as one might encounter during ploughing or snaking logs. Also how fast can you go?

I have been in a quandry trying to make up my mind over a JD 4410 or a Kubota 3430 or 3830. What made you decide on the 3830?

I had no idea that the question I raised regarding JD quality vs Kubota quality would have sparked such a response. Thanks to all you guys for your comments on this issue. This is so much better than relying on salesmen or brochures for tractor info. I have switched bac and forth between the two as least 4 times now and still no decision. There are things I like about the JD such as Hydraulics and control posistioning, choice of multiple tire sizes and tread width that aren't available with the Kubota. JD cost more. I like the eHydro and control features. I like the Kubota 3 pt lift better. Kubota has all metal hood. Kubota is a bigger tractor given the same HP rating and weighs about 300 more pounds than the JD. For my use the JD is a more compact tractor than the Kubota. I also understand that the JD is a stronger tractor overall. Comparison is for JD 4410 vs Kubota 3430.
Maybe I need to buy both!! In my dreams.

I want to buy a 3430 however there are none in my area to be found.The dealer has a 3830 HST which I like but the rear tire size, 14.9 x 24 limits the minimum width to 66". Can smaller tires by put on this model in order to get closer to 60" width?

Art, this is probably one you can answer or anyone who has experience with both models. Would it be better to go with the 3430 hydro over the 3130 hydro to achieve the same power to the ground and PTO as a GST? Where will I see the difference in HP?

No, I have not asked but I plan on it. One problem is that the nearest dealer is about 25 miles away. If I get several positive responses back from owners or people who have 'real world' experiences, that should be sufficient proof.

I am considering purchasing a compact tractor like the 3130 or JD4310.I would like to get the maximun HP for the same size tractor so I am considering the Kubota 3830. The spec sheet on the 3830 shows a minimun tractor width of 66.5 inches. Is this due to the larger tires and can the tractor be set up for 60 inches so that a 5 foot cutter will cover the tractor width?

Anyone know if Kubota makes a 5 foot bucket that will fit this model loader. The literature only calls out a 6 foot bucket. I really would like to have more bucket options with the Kubota but I have not seen any advertised by Kubota.

I agree. I was shocked at the price differential between the two models for just 3 PH. I know the the JD uses a Yanmar engine which is very good and the Kubota uses their own. How do these compare torque wise?

Kubota offers draft control as an option on the grand Ls. Is this a useful feature and when would one employ this in tractor work?

Thanks Chief. What about comparison bewteem the JD eHydro and the Kubota Hydro? Is pulling power equivalent given the same PTO HP?

I need to replace the fan belt on my shibaura tractor. I took the old belt to a parts house and they did not have an exact replacement or crossover to the original one which was made in Japan. Is there a source for replacement belts for these imports? I tried 2 different size belts that were close in length but neither would work.
