Sounds like the HST system is sucking air to me. Probably not sealing properly at the filter. It will not leak fluid but it would allow air in if it has a bad seal.

I've just been looking at both brands, Zen Noh (Yanmar) 3000 and a Mitsu 3250. I'm told the YM is 35 Hp and the Mitsu is 38 Hp. Main difference is that M has 5 gears and the YM 4 gears, 4 cyl vs. 3. Anything else I'm missing on which to buy? Prices are within $100 of each other.

That's a good idea. You're right, those gearboxes look sort of puny for the job they do. Hope it holds up. One of these days I have to learn to weld.

Thanks for your feed back. I will have to go on company trip, so I will just leave it alone and see if drying for a week makes it go away.

I am looking at a Kubota L3300 Tractor with Bush Hog loader. It's got about 400 hours on it, appears to be in very good condition. It's 33 hp, Rear and mid pto, 12 Forward/12 Reverse GlideShift Transmission. The owner is offering it for $12,500. I feel like this is a reasonable price based on what I've seen for sale on the internet but was hoping someone out there might be able to let me know if this is reasonable. Thank you!

I have a Internation 434 desiel that is producing more black smoke that it used to. I don't really work it that hard but now under any load is seems to create more black smoke than usual<br>
<br>
I assume it is because not all of the deseil is burning but unsure where to start?<br>

I have owned a 23 Wellcraft, then a 32 Chris Craft with gen, air - the works. We had lots of fun on the 32 but it became too all consuming. We did have some great adventures on it (1000 mile trip out erie canal - up St Lawrence to Montreal - down to Champlain and home). <br>
<br>
I now have a 21 regal which I like the best. Pack her up at home - roll it 2 miles down hill to the hudson - crank her up to 55 MPH and have some fun - then take her back home with me. Minimal investment, no dock fees, cheaper fuel, no zebra mussels to worry about. I bought it in private deal for $14K with 60 hours on it. <br>

I just use a nylon webbing style binder strap.

I put it right around the center of the tread and wind it up tight, it compresses the center of the tread enough to stop most, if not all of the air from escaping, unti lthe tire engages the bead and starts to inflate.

Best of luck.

When we were building out a course in the islands they had made up a small screen for cleaning up a little topsoil that had been contaminated with gravel and stuff.

It was a rectangular steel frame on tall legs, like a big table with no top on it. A chain in each corner suspended a smaller rectangular frame that had a steel mesh bottom. There was a hydraulic motor attached to the hanging frame that spun an off-center cam, that caused a vibratory / shaking action depending on the speed the motor turned.

It worked well, but it sure looked like an explosion in a structural steel plant.

Best of luck.

2ndhand - The trator has never been roller/tipped by me and I bought it new. I haven't run into anything with the ROPS either. So only issue would be at install, a manufacturing issue or an incident prior to my purchase of the unit. I should complain to the dealer and see what/if they will do anything about it.

I have a Massey 1217 backhoe I need to plumb into a PTO pump. When sitting in the hoe seat looking at the controls, there is a hose on the left and a hose on the right. Both same size. Can someone tell me which is pump side and which is return, or does it matter? My understanding is that the pump will circulate all the time and draw from the loop as necessary. I also need to know if I need a pressure relief in the system or if one of the stubs on the control valves does that function? I going to put a tank with a filter on the return side just before the tank. Is a Prince pump the best PTO pump to get 5.1 gal per minute is my need?

Thanks Jazak5, Yooperpete, and others

Put 4 hrs on it Saturday mowing the grass. 48" weeds was not easy. I mowed first pass with mower 18" off ground. made second pass about 10" high. Did not get the chance to make third pass. Could not get into high ranges because the mower couldnt take it. Tractor did not labor or get too high in temp. I even got it stuck in a spring that I did not know I had... 4x4 is a beautiful thing. I should of went to an 84 in mower...

When I bought GC3200 last year I looked at pretty much every tractor in that size range. I went with the GC2300 for several reasons. I liked the dealer (although both were reasonable), the GC2300 doesn't rev as high as the Kubota (thought the engine might last longer), and I was informed the Kubota 3 pt hitch was not a full Class 1. I had this more or less reconfirmed this weekend when I rented a King Kutter 60" tiller, they said it wouldn't fit on the Kubota 2230 because the arms wouldn't open far enough.

I have almost 100 hrs and no complaints so far although I would like to have the tach and cruise control that is on this year's 2300.

Just my $0.02.

Those two are definitely different sizes! They both have different places they can work as well as how much can be done! Have you tried or looked at the new L-39? They are smaller then the 110 but yet the hoe works so much faster. You did loose some flexibility there with the loss of the use of the three point.

Thanks for the comeback earthwrks. I am not (yet) a premium member so I could not read your entire message. But I did see your suggestion that the hydraulic fluid might be low, and that's the first thing I thought of when the tractor would not move (rear wheels in a shallow rut). The TC45 DOES have HST so I checked all fluids in case the dealer did not prep the tractor right. Fluids were all topped off. I rechecked all my manual procedures and operational settings and could not find anything I missed. Hate to think the dealer could have given me a defective unit. How often does that happen? If so, it WILL happen to me!

Before I'd make a recommendation I'd really want to know more. How was the tractor used? How long of intervals was it run? How many approximate hours? I ask this because as I see people looking for the larger tractors that will not be run for long periods under load a problem arises of the rings not seating! We have seen it for years with the farm tractors or the low mile diesel truck which never got warmed up properly from in town use and the cylinders got washed from the unburned fuel from not being warmed up properly. If this is the case I might tell you to go out and run the snot out of it for an extended period of time, we might put them on a dyno for six hours plus straight under full load and be able to cook the glaze off the cylinders if not to bad but otherwise removal of the head and pistons and a good deglazing and install new rings and gaskets and be fine. A leaky head gasket normally means a loss of fluid often external but sometimes internal normally making it difficult to keep coolent in.
