There is nothing un-bias in the main-stream media. The only rights they are interested in protecting are their own. With the increase in competition hurting the ratings and given that they have ruined their own credibility over a period of years, you may see some feeble attempts designed to give the impression of course correction.

In reality, just another Trojan Horse.

For light snow just run it in high range and enjoy the ground speed. Keep the blower spout down so the wind won't get what you are blowing.

The internet is amazingly rife with these scams. There is a free internet for sale list for pinball machine collectors. Pretty obscure in the scheme of things. You can't post an ad there without getting a half dozen scams from Nigeria or the UK. I read that one Nigerian scammer was getting 7 hits for every 500 emails he sent. Not sure if that is 7 successful scams or 7 responses, but if even one out of 500 falls for it the scammer makes good money.

At 118 hours you haven't even started to break-in the engine so I'd be trying to compare it to another like tractor for smoking condititions. Types of fuel could make a difference in the amount of smoke but stick with straight diesel fuel or with an additive. Kubota's normally burn very clean compared to other diesel engines and there could be another problem as simple as a plugged air cleaner.

That particular blower no, but generally yes.

When I was kid almost every blower was home-made, most were of the pull-type and single stage.

They work quite well if the snow is light and fluffy, but can be a bit of a PITA if it was wet, heavy stuff.

Most people who want a big forward facing blower these days use a pto converter and drive shaft to a regular blower mounted out front. It can be used with, and is often carried by, the FEL, but requires the blower be removed before you can USE the FEL.

No matter how you slice it a front-mount blower is usually pretty spendy, so much so that most people just find another way to do it.

Best of luck.

I just got my 50 hr service done at 46.8 hours on my JD. Better to do it now than later. I'm close to the dealer, they want $35 to pick up the tractor, and I don't own a trailer. So I just drove it over to the dealership. Knowing winter is on it's way, I figured early service is better than freezing the acorns off driving in December.

After using a 2wd Oliver for a couple of winters and some summer dirt work, 4wd was mandatory for the new tractor. You just can't beat that extra piece of traction when you need. It sure beats rocking the tractor side to side for traction or dumping your load and taking a smaller bite because the rear tires spin in the wet grass.

As Art states, there are some "price point" units out there that are very different in their construction so as to save as much on material as possible.

I'm a big fan of having as many adjustments available as possible. The manufacturer can't be sure of where the product will be used, neither can the purchaser.

Art, I've never seen a blower with sides that short, it certainly does sound like a tragic accident just waiting for a time & place to happen.

I will have to scrounge around in my old photographs, somewhere I've got a picture of a car after the owner backed into it with the blower. The blower was running at the time.

Plastic body panels may be "dent resistant" but they sure don't stand up to blowers very well. Especially in the bitter cold.

Best of luck.

How about a few pictures of the completed mod. I would be interested in how and where the u-joints were mounted to the shafts.

The local NH/Case/Kobota dealer leases tractors to fish farms and hunting camps. These are discounted heavily off the new price and are snapped up immediately. He is at least 30% off his price which is already discounted off the MSRP.

Not quite, with a backhoe there are other cylinders that are used to support the bucket and place it while the curl is used but they don't count in the rating. To have a little fun you might be able to bench press three hundred lbs numerous times, at three fifty you can maybe do one at a time, your break out force would be 350lbs! Not quite the same as many operators will crowd the breakout force many times in a day while digging but it's as close as I can make it.

I would never have guessed those gear boxes are ratioed. If that is the case I'd do it direct also.

That said I need to do some checking on the gear ratios. I have just obtained a new (25hrs) 4BT 3.9L Cummins all set up to use. It has a 8sheeve pully already attached with hand clutch.

If they are OEM rims yes you can. You will gain about 6" in width. It will be under 64-66" wide when done.

It's 4:30 and pouring rain or I'd go measure exact for you.

Your Bio doesn't tell all!! I can understand but it might be just as good to use what you have now for good trading stock to get to your end prize. To keep the blower and trade the 1550 and deck for a 1750 with deck and loader would be nice. If a loader isn't needed then the GR series is the next to enjoy is a loader isn't needed.

Thanks for the info. I was quoted $3000 for 300x/61"bucket and $3500 for 300cx. I would have to install the FEL. The hydraulics and controls are already on the tractor. I have a hard time paying an extra $500 since the loader will mainly be for light grading/landscaping/manure. I offered $13300 for the 2000 JD 4300 with 600 hrs, and the dealer was disappointed, and wants around $14500. Tractor is in excellent shape and the dealer offers great service. Unsure if I will end up with this unit.

Grinder, sorry for not responding sooner but as much as there are thousands of Kubota decks out there they are hard to beat in their original form. We sell two brands that they do have gator blades for and they do help. They don't mow like a Kubota to begin with at best, under ideal conditions.
