Have had some issues with the coils involved with electric over hydraulic setup. 3 pt hitch now holds with box blade but not bush hog. That is improvement. Still attempting to finish the fix.

Hi, new here,really glad this board exists... I have recently purchased an SD 2243 Shibaura... The rear hydraulics lift fine but will not hold...they creep down in about 15-20 seconds...? Fixable? Please hit me back..

Well I bought pails of the Super UDT and used a empty jug I had to put the oil in the front axle so I really do not know how much exactly I added. But it seams like it was only 4 to 5 quarts.

I bought the tractor from a place in Ohio. Saved the sales tax and I was real happy with the buying part of the deal. Good thing I have 2 more dealers around to try next time.....if there is a need for a next time. All of ther service from now on will be done by me.

I managed a NAPA store for almost 10 years and have been asked that same question a thousand times. I hate the response you got from the store.....I would have sent him down the road. We always kept both filters and some others that were cut apart for demo purposes. The Gold is by far the better filter and would never buy the silver. The resopnse from corporate is a standard out of the book answer. Put simple.....the gold filters better, better flow,better disign and way worth the price. My oppinion.....stay with the gold or the wix premium brand and leave the silver to the people who just dont care about quality.

Well here in WV it has been a wet summer. Everything is really green and lush with weeds and brush!!! I have mowed my pastures 4 times since I have bought my tractor in June. I should get some more animals. Our "gluebags" are getting fat. My wife loves to ride and love them since they justify the Kubota!!!!! I am pretty picky about my lawn.....I have been mowing every 2 days. Nothing like a nice mowed lawn.

Well congrats on your soon to be purchase. I am a new owner of a L3130HST and there is nothing better than that little tractor. The only thing I have really used it for is brush cutting with a 5' mower and some back blading on the driveway. I can tell you that the longest I used it at one time was when I first got it. Mowed all of my 10 acres of property. I went slow to really enjoy her. I used about 3/4 of the tank.....about 6 hours of use. I now have 36 hrs on her and have used only about 25 gal of fuel. For me I have just been using 5 Gallon cans......but from what I here this is hard to do with a FEL. I would love to get one of those fuel caddys with a built in pump and hose but they are big bucks and CFO says no. CFO said maybe after the new baby is born I can have some more toys! So until then I will lug the cans around.

The thing with the hoe on the other board was not me. I was only a bystander. The whole discussion really drove me nuts though. It was a bunch of little babies bickering back and forth.

Trying to decide what frame size tractor I need. I have a 10 acre horse farm and use a tractor/loader for various things (mowing, grooming arena etc). The major tasks for the loader is moving/stacking 1000lb round bales and occasionally unloading 1000lb pallets of bagged shavings. I love the 4WD, hydro and overall size of the 4710 (some work in tight spots), but I'm not sure how it will stand up to moving the round bales (approx. 50 per year). That's why I'm also looking at a used 5210.
Any guidance will be appreciated.

JD 4710 or 5210
