Thats correct on the weights. The light foot print of the large frame B-series is an everyday advantage.

Forget the M-series all together. The larger frame B-series would do fine but the little bit larger and heavier chassis of the L-series might make some things go easier such as tlb work. The L-series will dig deeper on both ends and raise higher so if drainage work and truck loading is required all the time. If this work is to be done only once you might spend a little more time doing the work and spend a little less money. You might look at the L-3400 if you are looking for a best buy if you will be using the rear mount mower. If there is details to mow around the smaller B-series would win as well as with general fuel economy. Both sizes will run the tiller sizes you mentioned in most all types soil. If you have hills the L-series might give you some added stability.

I only see one Berlon Snowblade. The picture shows a massive lower frame. Is this the unit?

Seems like everytime a turn around I am posting something from MSU. You would think I was a Dogs fan. I purchased a T' Shirt one year on the discount rack and got accused of it all the time. It is a tough crowd in the Alabama foot ball ranks. I am about an hour from both and graduate from three other universities so!!!

So much for the rant. They claim here you need to worry about the humidity, temp. and low light in the green house and need special varieties. They recommend expensive hybrids. For home consumption I might just choose a variety that can be grown in the south. Most commercial varieties are not grown for taste but transportation.

I have seen them grown in hanging pots. This places them in the hottest area of your green house and reduces the work of staking.

Prognosis, sticking valve. Inside the drop control valve is usually a ball and spring that controls the fluid flow. If this starts sticking, it's not easy to tell what you have the drop rate set at. I would concentrate more on the drop adjuct valve that the 3-pt hydraulic valve.

In the side of the housing, you will probably see a plug. Under the plug is a ball and spring that the control lever moves to control the drop flow. Make sure the ball and spring are free moving and haven't gummed up. The spring actuates the ball movement, so it could be sticking. It will also act differently after the fluid has warmed the valve housing. Also make sure that this part of the 3-pt housing is free of debris and gum.

Hope this helps. The spool valve is probably not the problem.

My L3430 'plays' with a 60 inch tiller, so I assume you could run at least a 72 inch one. I have extremely hard and rocky soil too. I believe my 3430 could run a 72 inch too.

It seems to me you do alot of talking but don`t know what you are talking about. I bought a new New Holland TC35DA with a loader for 19250.00 Please go to the Kioti board and tell them how much you like your tractor. I am also sure you do your shopping at WAL MART.

The oil filter needs to be removed and replaced with a common oil filter thread. Remove the stub from the housing and have it machined to use a 3/4 inch stub. Otherwise you need to buy from the dealers for $15 plus shipping. Caution if you try to match up thread and dimesions all you will find are hydraulic oil filters and they cost about $35.00 each.
Convert to 3/4 inch screw on filter and save a lot of money and confusion. I use a wix 51515.

I guess that we have discovered that the JD grooming mower will not run at recomended speed with the pto set on 960.
Does anyone know if the JD 261 is set up the same way?

With the hydro you are always in the right gear. If you ever get an attachment that demands your attention then having a hydro is one less thing you have to worry about.

I have a JD 4700 hydro. I also have a grapple/rake on my loader. Doing exacting work with the grapple takes concentration and with a hydro I don't have to worry about shuttle shifting with a power reverser

With a hydro when you let up on the peddle (Forward or reverse) you stop even on uneven ground and can change directions with the touch of your foot. With a power reverser if you go into neutral you have to put your foot on the brake to stop (it's something you have to think about) not with a hydro.

Greg,

I have a 5234D. I had the dealer install 2 hot plugs on it. One for the engine, and the other for the trans. I live in northern Maine. It was -23 last week. I plugged the tractor for 1/2 hour. It started just like it was summertime!!! The plugs cost me $110 installed. Well worth it!!!! I hope this helps.

TaskMaster is just a label put on for American sales. They're actually DongFeng tractors, manufactured by the DFAM (DongFeng Agricultural Machinery Group) Corporation. Other labels include Terraplane, DF, Diesel Force and Noriker - maybe more.

Murf & Beagle:

Thanks for your input. Unfortunately my tractor came without, and when looking at the stereo option, I should be able to upgrade with a headunit that is MP3 ready, and XM Sattellite ready with Infinity speakers for about $250 (not installed - that is another $100) versus the $550 quote from the dealer.

If all else fails, I may have the dealer install the Kubota system which I believe is a Panasonic with a Kubota stamp.

Thanks,

GREETINGS! I'M LOOKING FOR A COMPACT TRACTOR TO HELP ME GET ON TOP OF MY LOT/LANDSCAPE NEEDS. WE BUILT A NEW HOUSE 3 YEARS AGO ON 2 1/2 ACRES, HILLY AND HEAVILY WOODED, LAKEFRONT. I'VE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT I'LL NOT BE ABLE TO GET ANYWHERE WITHOUT A GOOD MACHINE. LOOKING FOR A COMPACT TRACTOR, KUBOTA BX 15-22 OR EQUIVILANT, WITH LOADER AND MOWER DECK TO START. THING IS, I HAVE THIS 1999 SYLVAN, 16' DEEP-V FISHING BOAT THAT SITS IN A BAY IN THE GARAGE AND JUST DOESN'T GET OUT ENOUGH TO MAKE IT WORTHWHILE. I'D RATHER SEE A KUBOTA SITTING THERE. SO, I'M LOOKING TO SELL OUT RIGHT OR TRADE FOR A USED MACHINE. ANYONE INTERESTED?

John, the Orange paint seems to cost about $6k a gallon. LOL. That is exactly why I have designed & made so many implements myself.

Now, to answer your questions;

"Are you saying that you use a standard truck snowplow blade and adapt it to your kubota somehow?" Yes, that's exactly right. See my picture # 15.

"If so, how is it done and what is the overall cost?" This is just, in my case, the easiest way to do it. There are many ways it can be done, with, or without, a quick detatch bucket. Aside from the utility frame which I was making anyways, the whole thing was about $500, plus my time but it didn't take more than a few hours one afternoon.

"Do you set it up with Hyrdraulic lift and angling capabilities as well?" It has both, the FEL provides the lift, the angle is operated (on this one) by one of the remote outlets via two long hoses. On others I've made the curl function is locked by means of an add-on brace to tether it stationary, and lines that splice into the curl circuit via Quick couplers on Tee's in the lines. This way the side to side motion of the loader control also angles the blade as well. I don't personally like this method since I use both the angle and the curl functions all the time. If you raise the FEL arms slightly, and then lower the blade using the curl function. This makes the plow edge cut right in for things like scraping ice & slush off. Likewise, lowering the arms a little means the blade cuts less and will slide over grass without chewing it up too badly.

Best of luck.
