I have a JD 4310 that is about a year old (100hrs). I was using the FEL today to move some dirt and noticed that it was really struggling with the weight, and lifting very slowly. I had it fully serviced at about 60hrs. The hydraulic fluid level is also good. Any ideas as to what might be wrong?<br>

Ron,

When towing with the 3Pt hitch, it does not have "down pressure" and therefore can easily lift if your load shifts or you stop too suddenly and the weight of the unit you are towing will "ride the hitch up" which can cause damage to the 3PT, back of tractor and even you. If towing something over uneven ground can also shift the center of gravity which could also cause the hitch to lift. Lots of potential for mishap in a variety of ways one may not even think of.

Some 3PT towing units on line have a chain system to eliminate this problem.

Good Luck!

Thinking back on it the unloader valve might have been my problem. I know I had to hit the trigger valve after every pull to relieve the preasure. Never thought about having my wife hold the trigger on while I tried starting it. She was never around when I tried starting it but I think that was because she did not want to see or hear my frustration.

Hi Havey There are only 450 hours on this machine. This is an open bearing (noy sealed) and it constantly submerged in the RT front Final drive oil (full). It is pressed into the Rt front final drive housing and receives the nub end of the cone shaped pinion Gear that fits into the final drive ( keeps pinion from walking) when I took it apart there where no signs of wear on any of the balls from the bearing However both inside and outside races of the bearing where broken in three pieces. I wouldnt think there is that much pressure on the bearing. Im gonna order new bearing, seal and sleeve and give it a try. Just hoping something else didnt cause the failure. (i hate doing things twice)...

Brokenarrow, in my state it is illegal to redrill a well that has already been cased. In some cases wells that have accumulated silt and build up over many years can be blown out with high pressure compressed air if there is no well house built around the well casing. If you can drill the well deeper without risking hitting sulfur water, that is a possibility if allowed. Have you considered this possibility? Not sure what the cost of this would be as opposed to redrilling or drilling a 2nd well. You may be able to configure a similar setup yourself.

Now there is a down home red blooded-American setup if I have ever heard of one. I work with a bunch of guys from Philly, good people.

STORY TIME: FOOD
Peters: the following is a real story.

For reference: In south GA. there are plenty of armordillas.
A few years ago we had a scare at work that the base was going to have a RIF (reduction in force)or may even close. I may loose my job. This realy concerned my 10yr old son. He asked me what would be the outcome if this came about. Would we have enough to eat. I told him not to worry the worse that could happen is that we would have to eat armordillas, and we would not go hungry. Hey food is food. I though he was concerned before, now it turned to panic. Three days later I got a call from the county school district that my son was very up set with the culinatory armordilla delight. They wanted to know if we needed assistance. That took some explaining those were some colorful individuals at the school District . Carefull what you joke about with your kids. You know like the Turkey Spam. I have tried the Turkey spam once you get past the smell it taste alot like armordilla or(possum on the half shell). I have seen the blood soup on TV. Maybe if you had some hot sauce. No, I dont think so. LOL

Hey folks,<br>
I've had 2 back surgeries and looking over my shoulder while bouncing around at any speed is wearing me thin. I'm thinking about getting a MMM on my B7800. How much does a six footer cost? What's the difficulty in putting it on and removing it? What's the max cutting height? Any and all responses are greatly appreciated.<br>

I broke down and bought an Earthway atv seed and fert. spreader today. Wondering if anyone here has used this brand the m20??? Was a throw up between a threepoint one for $440 or the atv one for $120. I will only be using it for my food plots that are about 3 acres in total.

The chain link fence deal your talking about is used more for smoothing out a already tilled field. It works pretty slick and also can double as a way to slightly cover seeds. ASAP I plan to buy one that Art talks about. I have seem them work and they are pretty darn impressive. BUT to dethatch a living field I think would be time consuming if not impossible with one. They fill up fast with debris. A generic round up sprayed about two to three times thru the summer and then using a chain harrow works great but the key to using any light equipment is to kill off all vegitation first. Once the roots are dead there is not much holding power left in them. The chain link fence works even better behind a wheeler (the size your talking about anyways).
I have seen home made harrows using something like pole barn nails into wood that is then dragged behind the tractor for de-thatching.
Good luck

I have been eating peppers for two weeks, and got my first 5 tomatoes today. They were the cherry tomatoes. The beefsteak and better boy have not started to turn. The beans are looking good they have flowers all over them and some beans around 2" long. The mums in the cinder block holes are about 16" high. I have seen alot of lubbers, but No real bug problems so far.
