Most brands such as Kubota and Deere don't have two machines that are almost exact for comparison purposes which makes it difficult. Each brand will try to adjust their numbers to make them look better. In the long run, when moving dirt, stone, etc. my bucket is full and running over before I run out of lifting capacity. I would base my tractor selection on operator feel for the machine and little things that make the comfort of using the machine such as the hydro pedals, seat adjustments, etc.

Can't say I've been through Mexico City, but I've done just about every major airport in the US. I hated Newark, NJ. What a dung heap! I've been stranded before as well. Chatanooga, TN is a very small airport. Very friendly and helpful people, but getting stuck there for 6 hours was a lesson in boredom.

The layover I hated the most was coming back from Korea. I had a 4 hour layover in O'Hare after having spent 13 hours on an airplane. I was not happy. I could have rented a car and been home sooner.

My favorite flights were when I lived in northern Minnesota. Was a 1 room airport. No security or lines. They just opened a door and said "let's go."

Duc, nice photos. I usually wear a large amount of clothes when clearing snow. I live on a hill so I typically am faced with 20-30 mph winds when on the tractor. I basically dress the same as if going snowmobiling complete with goggles. The helmet looks goofy, but really blocks the wind! Besides, the orange color of the helmet will help locate the body in the snow...

With the 3-point moving around, especially with grading work, there is a chance that the turnbuckle housing will deform. If you deform the housing, the alignment of the threads is off, and stipping can occur. If they are stripped and/or deformed, I would think replacing them is your best bet.

Keep the sway braces snug, not too tight, but you want to avoid sway in the three point. If you are using a box blade with the scarifiers, you really want to avoid sharp turns. This puts high stresses on all the 3-point components.

I have a reconditioned Ford 8N. Good shape, everything works. New bar tires, battery, paint, hydraulics. What is it worth? What would it be worth on trade in?

Take a look at www.hstractor.com, NUCO Loaders. I dont know anything about them, but I found their website when I was browsing for filters the other day. Good luck with your search.

There are plenty of componets out there for you to build it as the newer farm tractors in large scale all use the same type hitch assemblys just different metering valves. Many of the newer tractors have the delete for the three point hitch(going to ruin the PTO shaft replacement buisness) as they are realizing they don't need it on all there tractors.

I would be glad to email you the pics of the gauge mounting. I don't have any of the sensor but I will shoot a couple this week. The gauge is a cyberdyne that I ordered from jc whitney for about $55.00.I wanted to mount it on the instrument panel but when I removed it I found it had some structural webbing under it that I didn�t want to drill through.

Sandroost; Like was said that's a lot of grass to mow. If the grass is of suitable quality for hay I'd look into selling it to someone to bale for hay and turn your mowing problem into a source of income. You'll have to buy a pretty expensive mower to do that much mowing in a short time every week plus some weekends it will be raining and not fit to mow. Best of luck. Frank.

I have used my father-in-law's IH 706 and loader to move large piles of cedar branches with good success. He has a round bale fork (two tines, 5' long, about 3' spacing) that attaches to the loader. The trick is to stack the branches with the limbs straight, not every which way. By starting with a few larger ones at the bottom, very large piles can be moved at once.

denwood, hardwood recommended the Landpride 2572 I think was the model #. I will pick up a 6' when I get home. Before I found this site I bought a 5' rake not knowing any better. Wish I could have posted that question before I bought one. Thie is a great source of info. Thanks

There is a plug in the gear end of the cam. I've read where it has a tendency to fall out over time. You have to remove the front gear case to get to it. I've also seen worn oil pumps do the same thing.

As beagle said it could be the bearings. Is there any knocking sound? Kinda hard to tell on a diesel!

What weight oil are you running? You may want to use a straight 30w oil and see if that helps.

good luck

I would go with a truck/plow. Ever consider going with a power V-plow? There are the best thing since sliced bread. I can pile snow twice as high as the truck, and move as much as 3 yards or more of snow at a time. I have a 8'-6" one made by BOSS in Michigan, there are many other mfg. now.

Bill, glad to help. You can find the diagram to the JD top and tilt kit by going to jdparts dot com, going to equipment search, search for a 4310, then navigate the alphabetic search to "top and tilt". It will bring up a parts diagram and all the parts can be ordered separately. It looks like the top cylinder is part number AH168698 but they don't list a price. I've heard another good source for cylinders is surpluscenter dot com but I've never used them. For a sure bolt-on fit the jdparts site will list all the parts you need.

Im adding 3 lights to my JD 4100 with a 20amp alt. Two facing forward off the cab and one facing rearward off the ROP. After looking around i found what looks to be a factory pigtail connector in the rear for additional rear lights. I tested it with a DVM and it has 12v and is controled off and on with the factory light switch. My question is can I use this supply for all three lights or just the rear one? The lights I bought are 55w but im not sure how many amps they pull. Without measuring amp draw im guessing around 3amps each.
