Hi Mac,
Thanks for the reply. I know the right way will be to price out the materials list. Just scared if I go to the supply stores I would end ordering the stuff and start a project I really don't have the time for and not get my heat in for winter ;).
From from your post I take it that your job was purely electric no framing or wood materials?

If anyone knows elsewhere to look for used models that would be great too.

Supply port is generally marked with "IN" or "P", return port is generally marked with "OUT" or "T". If you have a PTO pump, you will need a relief. Not all the circuits on that backhoe valve have a relief cartridge, so you could damage your pump.

Hey, in a whole bunch of instances "no bells and whistles" is a good thing! I'll bet you cannot like your 790 any more than I like mine!<br>

I don't own either one so I might be unbiased? Anyway, if the price is close on both and both will suit your needs, then you definitely need to consider the dealer aspect. Talk to the dealers and get a feel for how they treat customers with problems and how quickly they resolve problems. If you know people who bought from either one, talk to them and get a feel for the dealer.

The dealer can be a huge part of owning a machine. A bad dealer can make your life miserable and make you regret your purchase. A good dealer is a keeper and worth a bit of extra money.

Picture #11 is a pic of the trailer a friend and I built (more like he built & I helped ;o) ) It was built from channel iron and a shortened mobile home axle. I have had over 3,000 lbs. on it and it could hardly tell.

Consider a flail mower as well as finish mowers and rotary cutters.

Flail pros:
* much safer than a rotary cutter ("bush hog")
* no windrowing
* better suited to tall grass and weeds than a finish mower
* better quality of cut than a rotary cutter
* cutters (if not abused, on good equipment) shouldn't need regular seasonal sharpenings/replacement
* many models can operate in an offset position (to mow hedgerows, etc.)
* smaller (stem-stern length); may be easier to park

Flail cons:
* much more expensive than other types (but for some people, could take the place of 2 machines)
* dozens/scores of knives to replace vs. 1-3 blades
* a little harder to find
* heavier

I am trying to decide between a New Holland TC30 with a loader and hydro trans or a Kubota L2800 set up the same way. Which do you feel is the better more reliable tractor. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you

lucerne, I joke about skid steers being a gigantic hydraulic pump with wheels but very useful for the right jobs. There is a knack to running most things and one of the most frustrating for me was getting onto a case with the foot swing! Give me the old four stick over that unit!

If you want to mow the lawn then buy a craftsman - if you want a tractor buy a Kioti for the money (my opinion based on chairbound research) it's the best machine I have seen vs any comparison in the 20 to 25HP range.

NEGATIVE ='s Dealer network is pathetic in Vermont anyway. Kubota and JD have the dealer network locked. With a slight edge to Kubota.

That is not that all uncommon for different tractors to be left out for a period of time. There are times they might sit for longer depending on the selling season and the popularity of the model. In the perfect world they would come in today and be sold and delivered tommorrow, I've often felt that if I could get it figured out as to what to order and when to have it delivered to me perfectly I'd head to Vegas and make some real big money,needless to say I haven't started looking for my plane tickets yet!

I bought a tank sprayer that is powered by an electric motor that feeds off of your tractor battery. I just put the sprayer in me FEL. I found the 3pt sprayers just too expensive for how many times a year I would use it.

I have attached the site that I bought my sprayer from. They were good to deal with.

I was a bit concerned that a electric pump would be powerful enough, but it is. I got the 30 gallon model.

Good Luck!

What you are mowing can help determine when to sharpen. If it is just weeds and brush, almost never. If you are mowing grass, you will notice lack of cutting, just swirling and pushing the grass around and ripping it. Time to sharpen. My dad mowed all over the farm for 20 years and never sharpened, but it was not grass.

I'm looking at buying a D3200 refurb tractor. Claimed is 38 HP and has 5 forward gears and High, Med. and low ranges. I didn't check the PTO direction. Is this likely a Viet Nam tractor? Better off to find a used engine for my old JD 950? Tired of wrenching....

LOL, thanks earthwrks. Nevertheless I sometimes think I'm the original Joe bflghtzx with the rain cloud overhead. I called the dealer yesterday who informed me there's a problem with the valve(s)(sticking?), and a new transmission is ordered and will be installed rather than to repair this one. Seems like a good idea.

I went back to the 80W 90 gear oil and that fixed the problem.Sometimes newer is not always better. I thought the UDT oil would be better.I would never have noticed it if I didn't have to get on and off the tractor.I still have to slow down for a second to let the gears stop.Want to thank you -John and 2ndHandLion for all the help on this one.
