Interesting comment about different tractors allegedly putting the same hp to the wheels. The problem with that theory would be - where to the additional ponies go? Once the engine produces the power, it's got to go to an output source - PTO, axle, or heat.

That one seems a little far-fetched to me.

Ethanol enriched gasoline is a huge problem for the aviation industry also.

Most ultralight aircraft these days are powered by a Rotax two-stroke engine, ethanol is deadly for these high performance two strokes and I'm told, has been behind several reported engine failures.

A friend of mine who owns 'power sports' store (boats, PWC's & snowmobiles) said they are having the same problem. In fact most manufacturers specifically state in the operator's amnuals for their two strokes not to use any fuel with more than 5% ethanol. He has been told by one manufacturer's rep. that they are to have the fuel tested in any product with a blown engine brought in for warranty work.

If the test is positive, the warranty claim is negative.

Best of luck.

Looking to buy a ~48" tiller for my 2210. Deere suggests the Deere 647 or the Frontier RT1140-1150/RT1240-1250 series. I have also look into the Woods GTC-52. The King Kutter is value priced and well acclaimed by owners. But at 600lbs vs ~400lbs for the others, it may be too heavy. Or is that irrelevant? The 2210 hitch is a Limited Cat 1 (700lbs) Input? Comments? Suggestions?<br>

Thanks

If the fuel tank is less than half full, you can full the fuel filter without draining fuel. There is an automatic shuroff when the filter is pulled, as long as the tank is less than half full.

I change mine regularly since I fill from 5 gallon cans. That creates too many opportunities for dirty fuel.

BTW, including buying a new engine & pump and using a bare minimum of 'recycled' (used) parts I already have in inventory, I figure mine will cost about $2k. plus a bunch of hours cutting, welding and designing.

Best of luck.

Allot of farmers are still using their JD's from the 60's and have them out in the fields almost everyday. However, they usually don't have them as primary units. <br>
<br>
My point is when maintained they can last a long, long time. It sounds like you realize that a slightly smaller, shorter tractor maneuvers easier. Likewise, I'm not sure if Deere has a good sales promotion going on now with attractive interest rates. Out of season is generally a better time to get the best deals with rebates and 0%.<br>
<br>
Chances are, going new will be the best alternative if you are willing to spend a little more but getting a hoe with it may be easier. In years to come if your needs change, it will be easier to sell it. Suggest getting it plumbed at the rear right away even if you don't purchase a hoe immediately.<br>

Don't underestimate the importance of manuverability. If you plan to use a CUT for finish mowing, a mid mount mower is essential mowing in tight areas and around obstacles. Rear finish mowers have a lot of tail-swing and are more suited to large open areas. If you plan to bush-hog your trails and 4 acres of field, you might be better off skipping the MMM and getting a rider or used zero-turn instead for the same $$$.

Yes the same, I assume they traded it in, as this is
at a dealer. I think we may go new for the warranty.
The price is not that much more and I have to have
something that will start well in the winter as I am
putting out lg round bales weekly.
Thats what I thought hardly broken in at 1000 hrs and
a new clutch already. Dealer said that being city owned the people that drive
them don't own them so there you go. Really seemed to be in good shape though.

What ever type you end up with see if a set of Gator blades will work on it. See if you can get the dealer to throw them in too. I have used Gator blades and they really do perform well in my opinion.

I know nothing of Kubotas, but do own a 2003 TC33D 4x4 hydro with Super Steer and R-4 tires. The seat is spring-suspended for a decent ride, plenty of power (I pulled my fully-loaded 5yd dump trailer with it in 2nd range high with no problems---total weight was around 16,000 lbs.), has cruise control, selectable/lockable 4x4, steering wheel tilts and telescopes. Don't like the cutting brakes on the right-hand side though--makes the left-hand brake useless. Warranty was decent: 2yrs "bumper-to-lower link" (hahaha) and 3yrs drivetrain only. No major problems. I run a 5' brush hog, 6' box scraper, or a 6' power box rake (Harley rake) with it all the time commercially. It's a good size and easily trailered.

A Toyota salesman told me last year that Toyota was going to start selling full size trucks here this year. Oh well, guess you can't believe a salesman, imagine that. ;^) With all these horror stories, I'm holding on to my '92 pickup until they do.

Forks off the front of the bucket definitely change the ratings of the loader. The load out in front of the bucket moves the center of gravity farthur forward than a load in the bucket, making the tractor much more prone to nose tipping.

Like anything else, common sense must prevail. If the loader is rated at 660 lbs prperly ballasted, you may only want to pick 300 on the forks. The tactor will let you know if you have aq problem.

The dealer is probably doing the smart thing not selling them to you. Too many lawyers in this country.

Over the years I have come to realize that when somebody is running someone else down it usually for just one reason, they don't have any good things to say about themselves or their product.

When a salesman starts running down their competition is when the sales pitch, and my time for them ends. Period.

Best of luck.
