I guess you go out and hire a crane with an inline scale to make sure your load is just right for your tractor before you pick it up. I like most people just try to pick it up and if it goes, great. It is quite simple. I needed a mid frame compact, not a large frame, not a utility tractor etc. I still want the greatest boom breakout possible. You can rarely have enough strength (structural and hydrauic), but you can easily have too much size. I run it to the max all the time. The primary reason I bought deere was the breakout, rated at the same point as everyone else so there was no trickery. At that point, deere smoked everyone. That may be different now. I am not name biased and have owned most brands in some form or another. Bucket breakout just doesn't cut it, because curl will not get you very far off the ground. Boom breakout is where its at for lifting and there needed to be some uniform point to measure from, so pivot seems to be a good one. Hydraulic relief is there for a reason, each company can choose their own based on their machine. Has anyone ever checked out the cheesy breakout on McCormick tractors. I called the corporate office thinking it was a missprint and they said the weak italian front axle could not bear any more so they set the relief low and hence the flimsy breakout even though the loader was capable of much more. I assume Deere evaluated their machine and set breakout to match.

A friend of mine has a Kubota, it is a work horse I have a 4410 Jd. his has more jp than mine but both are a good tractor, but I can take off my bucker and rear blade must faster, and the deck too.

I am going to trade up to the the 3320 but our dearler here does not have one on site yet. Can any one here tell me how much better the loader and tractor in general will be.
thanks mike

I went back to one of the dealers with the used tractors and they would not or could not come close to the price I got from my local dealer on a NEW one so I bought it new from my local dealer. (see my other post about John Deere verses Kubota)

Before I was concerned about all of the hand work if I had any digging, now I'm concerned my neighbors will want to borrow it!!

Hey Jeff,

Glad to hear, that you like your new 284. Be sure to check the fluid level in the creeper gear box reservoir.

Once again, I'm glad that your 284 is performing well for you. A tractor can be one of your very best friends.

Get your tractors running &
Have a nice day,
Joe

I whole heartedly believe that natural disaster are nature way of thinning the population, and for evolution. Stupid people do not head warnings = death. Smart people listen and do what is necessary to survive = live to procreate.

The dumb ones die as to not contaminate the rest of the population with more stupid people.

Sounds like something is misaligned on the GX345 mower deck. Bearings should not be failing like that even if never greased after the initial dealer setup. I have a gravely 4 wheel lawn tractor that you just can't kill the frame or bearings with any amount of abuse. I would expect that kind of performance with any high priced garden tractor like the GX345. I just purchased the LT190 this year. I hope it measures up to my standards after having had the gravely.

We make most shafts in house to save on inventory as well as or just to save costs. Most farm equipment dealers should have that size ibn stock and for some we sell the material in bulk and for most we weld them up while waiting.

There are two relays but the problem might lay in the ignition switch.

The balljoint problem that I was aware of is that the truck would wander all over the road even with low mileage. New ball joints didn't necessarily fix the problem. On those that were affected, there wasn't much you could do to make the wandering go away. I'd suggest test driving it, going straight down the road on a flat, smooth road and take you hands off the wheel. It should hold course for quite some time before needing to make steering corrections.

A 17 caliber, 25 grain bullet (17 HMR) is too light for coyote size critters. If you hit a bone it is liable to come apart and you will have a wounded animal wandering around.

I have seen that very thing happen using a 223 class rifle with varmint bullets on deer.

A 40 grain 22 caliber should be considered the minimum standard for clean kills on anything bigger than a jackrabbit.

It just so happens we are currently mounting a couple right now. The only problem that can be addressed real quick is to take a magic marker and cross out everything for the other 8 tractor's it fit's so you can focus on the model you are working with!

Chris I made them from a bunch of scrap chains. They have welded links to get the right lenght.

These tires do not turn at highway speed they do not have to be perfect. There is a lot of iron in those chains each one on the rear weights over 100#.

Old Highway Dept truck chains work beautiful and can be traded for in most cases. A couple 4 cans of coffee and donuts are best for trading.

As I said the price does not sound to bad especially if tractor is clean and there are not a lot of used ones in the area.

OK, first off yes to your questions, and second, after reading the posts here I first tried to wiggle the wires below the switch. Wow, engine started fine, so I will be looking at the switch and wiring a little closer. Thanks
for the help, I'm just glad this one was an easy one.

Thanks for the reply. I think the rfm 261 is a newer model. Mine is printed on the deck John Deere grooming mower 260, which I believe is the same as a finishing mower. It has the three blades, is 60 in and hooks up to the 3ph.
I think I'll just try it on the 960. It cuts better and doesn't sound like its rotating too fast.
