A guess as to what a new controller might cost to munfacture might be in the $75- $150 range. Although I have not yet looked into what the 10 series has installed, my job is desiging controllers for other applications that sould be of similar complexity. That means a dealer cost of about $250 and a cost of over $300 for you and I. But that $300 would be the cost to replace the controller without the credit of returning the bad one. If the controller just needs a software (firmware) update, then the replacement cost with a returned unit should be less than $75 for us. Guess we will see how JD handeles this in time. Hope this helps.

I also have a 47 backhoe on a 4310. I agree with butzkeg, it is great. On and off in less than 5 minutes. I also looked at the Woods 7500. I cant say if the Woods mounting is more rigid, but it is with out a doubt a third party looking rig where as the JD was designed to work as an integrated system. The Woods sub frame is also very large and will require much more space to store when the backhoe is removed from the tractor. Don�t get me wrong, I love my new Woods rotary cutter and many of their other products. The Woods back hoe was several hundred less but the first time you install or remove the JD you will know you made the best dicession (at least in the one regard). As for operation, I have about 10 hours on mine and no problems to report. Good luck.

Just added a 47 backhoe to an order for a 4310 with 430 loader. After many frets on just about everything I ordered, I am down to the rethinking the bucket size. The 47 comes standard with a 9" but I was thinking of going with the next size up from John Deere which is a 13". I will be moving and digging rocks and stump removal (as best as the 47 can) and not much if any trench work. 9" or 13" please any quick thoughts.

Thanks Jim, this is all very new to me. I want to make the best purchase possable the first time around. The dealer that informed me of the HD bucket option told me it was black and adds about $100 over the standard bucket. I just assumed it was a JB brand (my fault). Can you or anyone tell me how much more the JB bucket might be and if JD has any information on this option (and any other well keep secrets). It would be real nice if the dealers (at least the two I have spoken with) would disclose all options with there customers. Thanks again.

I purchased a 1987 MF1030 in the fall of 1999. It had 940 hours on it and now has about 1010. It has worked great. I like the low speed of the 12 gears for maneuvering in close. I filled the rear tires with CaCl which is supposed to reduce load on the front wheel drive. I did notice some water in one of the front gear cases but it was clear when I changed fluid again a year later. It is probably the seal and could be a problem if left outside or worked in deep water. The tractor starts instantly even in the cold weather (-20F) and has plenty of power for my 5' woods mower and MF1016 loader. Everything seems well designed and solidly built. My only possible complaint is that the bucket could tilt a little faster when the engine is idling.
Have a good time with your new tractor,
Bob Snyder

I have a 1987 Massey Ferguson 1030 and a Massey Ferguson 1016 loader. It works great. I have filled the rear (turf) tires with CaCl to improve traction and reduce load on front wheel drive. The loader seems to have plent of power and speed. The only thing I notice is that the bucket tilting is slow when the engine is idling.

An old ("experienced" ??) farmer told me that cutting 1-2" trees is "messing your nest" if you ever want to mow that ground again. "Best way to pop a tire is with a 1-2" spear". I am old and not experienced but I have found this man's advice to be always be wise. Just a thought.

Thanks, Dave.
Sounds like the same tractor I have. Is your brother using front drive most of the time and on hard ground or pavement? The front drive runs at 5% lead (faster than rear wheels) which improves traction and control but adds to wear on tires and gears when traction is good. I believe this is normal on four wheel drive tractors.
Also, what needed to be replaced and where did he get the parts? New? Were there any symptoms of pending failure. One of my front axles did have some water in the gear box when I changed fluid right after I bought the tractor.
Thanks for your help,
Bob

I am reading the discussions on different tractors and would like to know where I could get a list of specifications and pictures for the various models. This information would help put the various discussions in perspective. I have a MF1030 and could add specifications (from manual)to a list if needed.
