Can anyone tell me if a 2305 would handle a Puma 64" 2 stage blower? It weighs 382lbs. Would I be stretching it's limits or would I be better off with a 2520 or 2320 to handle this type of applciation?<br>
<br>
Thanks

Brian, My Kubota had similar wire(s)--both originated in the fuze box already fuzed with 10A fuzes. You should see a tag marked "max 8w" on the wire. I got some low wattage tractor lights for front and rear (separate circuits) and they work great on my ROPS. Ensure you install water/dust proof switches. Good luck. David

Thanks for the reponses! Dennis when you say "too big" ar eyou referring to physical size or weight or both. Weight was one reason why I may lean toward the B3030 Kubota as it weighs about 600lbs less than the DX29. However the Dx29 has a 2" shorter wheelbase. My soil is normally quite dry having good drainage. I live on top of a hill so wet, soft soil is not really an issue. I have had the theory that I should get the "smallest tractor" that would still spin a 64" rear snowblower. In my mind that would provide the best cut quality. However, like "Iowafun's" experience, I have heard of other owners who have great luck mowing with a larger style tractor.

Thanks again!!

I would get a rear facing 3PH Blower. For that size Machine you could put a 6' blower on it. I have a new tractor coming tommorrow with a 6' Pronovost blower. I have it coming with a hydraulic flap control.

Ask your dealer about problems with the hyd filter, they have had a few cases of faulty filters. Second the oil is made by several people, what your looking for if the pour rating.

I think I grew up too long ago. <br>
<br>
My winter memories are tempered with a pile of snow and a snow shovel. A typical snow fall was 12-24 inches or more of wet heavy stuff. We would slog our way to school trying not to loose a boot. After school I would come home to find a mountain in front of the drive way. Naturally the artic front would have shifted by then and it was beginning to freeze or was frozen at -15 or 20 F. On the command;"Get that drive way cleared so you father can get in off the road when he gets home!!" I would spend the the next couple of hours trying to hack my way through the cement like 3-4-5' pile with my snow shovel. Most of the time I would bearly have enough space for my Dad to squeeze in with the truck. Naturally this only happened every 3-4 days with more than 40' of the white stuff over the winter and it lasted only 5 months of the year. With the cutting of the banks etc. you worked the piles almost every day in between. Snow blowers were out of the question with gravel roads and heavy wet sticky snow. <br>
What I would not have given to have a little 4 wheel drive CUT and FEL. Talk about turning agony to joy!!

Kioti is not a Korean Kubota. Kioti predates Kubota in the tractor business and the are their own engine designs. They set up new dealer network a few years back and claim that parts are available overnight. If you want more you can check the Daedong site.
As people on this site know I am not a dealer just a SAE engineer.

DT; Your owners manual should have a section on breakin, I'd follow what it recommends. I've never liked to run a fresh engine real hard for the first day or two, but others will say the opposite. Running the engine at full RPM to operate the backhoe really is'nt necessary, about 2/3 to 3/4 of full throttle is plenty. I can be jerky enough at 2/3. Frank.

I think most manufacturers charge for an upgrade to R4 or turf tires. I've got a JD and I think it was a $400 upgrade to R4's. Good choice for me. They only leave marks when the ground is soggy.

Well, I have a 4310 with 72mmm, 430 loader, rear blade, etc and I love the tractor. It cut my mowing time in half. The MFWD is awesome in the snow. You won't go wrong with either tractor.

If you put one scarifier on your box blade and pull it along the ground it will cut a bit of slit. Then you could manually insert the wire in the slit. A knife like scarifier would probably work better. Maybe you could buy an extra and grind it down. Just some random thoughts on a cold, sunny day.

"If you do not have to cut the neutral, then if all a disconnect cuts is the two power legs, what is the difference in using a disconnect switch and cutting off the main breaker?"

Electrically speaking there is none (provided your generator is of the type that would require a transfer switch that did not switch neutral) - unless you want to argue about the direction of electricity flow in the circuit used to connect the generator (like a welder or dryer plug) and the suitability of that setup. The reason that transfer switches are used is so that it is physically impossible to connect the generator to the utility supply (on the hot legs). Accidentally connecting generator L1 and L2 to utility L1 and L2 is extremely dangerous (as I am sure everybody is aware of by now). In addition to connecting the generator to the house supply, transfer switches mutually isolate the utility supply and vice versa when the utility supply is reconnected - they isolate the generator, accidential connection is made impossible.

I like the idea of taking off the top link. I would think the blade would no longer dig in. I wonder if it would ride up the snow though. Also, would the blade lift work, and the blade go up with the 2 point. I'll give it a try next snow.

I have a 2304 and the lift quit twice. First time I took it apart (plate beneath the the seat) and changed the filter and fluid. Fill and check points are by the shifter in front of the seat. Takes about five gallons. Worked fine after that, for a while. Second time it quit I again changed the filter but it still did not work. I drained the fluid again and let it drip for a long time. Near the end, thick "goop" drooled out, composed primarily of what apppeared to be a very fine mud. Rice paddy stuff? Filled it up again and it still did not work. Took apart everything, including the pump, all hoses and other parts I can't even describe. Put it back together and it worked fine, for a while. Worked one day, would not work the next. Then the next day, after running it a t high revs, it worked fine again. Has worked well since. So many small passages in the system, I think the "goop" may clog them once in a while. Next summer I will let it drip several hours. Hope this helps a little.

Sorry to disagree Art, but that's what glow plugs and manifold heaters (thermostart) are for. Heat rises, so heating the head area still leaves you with cold thick oil down in the pan. Hard on the starter and battery and oil pump, and won't rise quickly to critical cylinder areas. So since it's inarguable that heat rises, it only makes sense to heat the oil pan. Parasitic heating will warm the water jackets, and cold start assist will take care of the head area.

Not always an easy job as they work in an area that's easy to get rusted. You won't really know till it's out if it is feasible to straighten and it should be kept near perfect as it is a good sized piece that is rotating and could cause other parts to gain in metal fatigue if left out of balance to vibrate.

Mr. Thompson,

These specs are on the Tacoma. Manual transmissions are only offered certain on packages so I'll copy from what's in the broucher. All specs are (city/hwy)

2.4 liter 4 cyl.
2wd:
man - 20/27
auto - 21/26

4.0 liter V6
2wd:
man - 16/21
auto - 18/22
4wd:
man - 16/20
auto - 17/21

All,

Reading from all your experiences, I stick with stick. My wifes '91, auto 4-Runner exhibits those same hunt and peck tendances that leave me saying, "Just let me do it".

"the Kioti CK30 is thousands
less than that. I don't understand why anyone buys Blue"
Then your words would hold true also for green I suppose?
Why is it that you have a green 790 in your pics? Wasnt that pretty spendy also for that sized rig?
Your pic number three shows a kit tractor. Is that the same Kioti in pic four? If so, hmmmm that would be a reason Kioti would be less, they didnt need to pay american workers to assemble. How long apart (if those two tractors are one and the same) were those pictures took? Your pic four has a tractor in it that looks rather weather beaten and faded.
We all have are reasons for buying what we do. One of mine was I work at CNH and get a discount. When comparing apples to apples though I have never found Kubota around me to be cheaper than New Holland. Of course both are never cheaper than Deere. Personelly I would never spend the money on a deer but who am I to tell some else that they should buy a lesser tractor. Deere is the tops in many area's. I wouldnt spend a penny on a Kioti. Not that I know anything about it or have any beef with it. Case corp. and Deere have employed many of us for a very long time and I would like to help keep that tradition going.
PS. I just banned Walmart from the stores my family can shop, I have had enough with the also.
