The XUV steers like it has power steering. The ride compared to the previous model is like comparing a Cadillac to a VW.

Mine has a vibration type rattle at higher speeds and a �slapping� sound like a bad universal joint in a car. The dealer told me there was a service bulletin from John Deere describing this. The repair is to adjust a set screw in the transmission. They did this and I still have problems.

I just priced a M4800 SUD with FEL and quick attach bucket for $22,600. Will think about purchasing if I can get it under $22,000. Looks like a good AG/Utility tractor.

I own a new kubotaL-3240 grande hst tractor. I was told it would handle a 6 ft. rotary mower with no problem. I have read my manual specifications for rotary cutters and it says 770-lb maximum weight for cutters. all the 6 ft cutters i have looked at are alot heavier than that. even the cheap king cutter at tractor supply is 800 lbs. am i missing something or is my tractor to small for a 6 ft cutter. IT would also be my guess that a heavy duty 5 ft cutter would weigh more than 770-lbs. Thank you for any help about this subject. <br>

The TY395 engine does not have individual main bearing caps common to other engines, the block is cast in two halves, split along the cneter of the main bearings. I use a little non hardening permatex, very sparingly and do not allow any set time before assembly. Only put it around the exterior perimiter, not near the bearings themselves, need to be metal to metal here. In fact I don't think you will see much leakage at this point even if you omitted the sealer as it is well above the oil level. A paper gasket here would add to the main bearing clearance (as would any sealer that builds thickness)

Take a look at the grademaster. Bought one a few years ago to maintain my 3/4 mile gravel driveway. Works great. Usually wait a day or two after it rains and run up and down the driveway twice and end up with a perfectly smooth surface. Recommed the 6ft version for a normal width road. Should cost around $900.

I was thinking you'd only have to heat it enough to keep the temperature above dewpoint to avoid condensation. But at that temp I suppose you could still have moisture problems. Those who live in colder areas would know best.

A lot of companies around here either rent or lease equipement and that is something you may find good for those larger jobs or to be sure on the size of a machine before you put down the real money. Most any machine is both too large and too small for all jobs. kt

I have an E2304. The 3pt. Lifts work great. I put on a Koyker 120 Loader Bucket. The Loader works fine but now the lifts will only go UP and not back down.<br>
I have a manual from Shaffer, but does not reference anything.<br>
suggestions?

If you have a foot operated pedal for the auxillary line, it may be a one-way only flow setup.

Things like breakers don't need flow in both directions, and some of them can actually be harmed by trying to put fluid to them the wrong way around.

You say the actuator pedal "seems incomplete"? What exactly doesn't seem right with it? Bear in mind, no circuit will operate correctly with the lines blocked by the quick disconnect fittings.

If it's possible you need to find out from the place you bought it from how it is plumbed. Rental yards are notorious for 'customizing' things so you rent their attachement instead of using your own. Even if you bought your machine at auction, if you go back to the prior owner most will happily give you any information they have as to the history of the machine, no rental house wants to be known for not maintaining their equipment well. Most will brag about it.

The simplest way to do it will likely be to bypass the existing setup and use an electrically-activated circuit splitter. You put a switch on one of the joysticks, and when you push or pull the knob on the switch it diverts the fluid flow from say the curl circuit to the thumb.

If you are not familiar with operating a thumb-equipped machine, you should be very cautious, doing something like curling the bucket in, while simultaneously pulling the thumb in may create way too much clamping pressure and result in something getting bent if not broken!!

Best of luck.

Hi Guys,<br>
I'm new here. I just bought a Mitsubishi D2650FD for my hilly 18 acres. I'm having difficulty finding a ROPS for it and may have to have one fabricated by a local metal shop. Any advice?<br>

The MF1030 was one of the "new" MF's, a re-branded Japanese import from the mid 80's.

The reason you likely won't find much info. on them was the way they were sold, they were pitched almost exclusively to the existing MF customers through the existing dealer network, there was little money spent on advertising them since nobody (MF or their dealers) was very confident they were going to be able to sell very many of them, or for how long they would sell and/or support them.

As it turned out, they were a pretty good little machine. I had several of them in the fleet in the early years of the company. The 1030 was about a 20hp model.

Best of luck.

My wife told me an interesting story on a new job. Woman got the job of her dreams, working from home. New company would send her items to ship, she packed and shipped, got first paycheck in 2 weeks. worked next 2 weeks, had CIA knock on the door. Seems she was packing and shipping stolen merchandise. She had no idea. Was sick because of the "perfect" job for her from home. Oh yeah, the 2nd paycheck bounced. Just makes you wonder. Beware when giving personal info to new employer over phone, latest scam is hiring people, you find job in paper, you give name, address, social number and it turns out they are bogus, now they have all your info for credit card scams. I would suggest checking out any and all company's before you give all your info. Oh yeah, some even asked and were provided with bank account numbers for "direct deposit" for paychecks. Beware one and all. Unfortunately we, you, me, have to really check before we provide that info. Like better business bureau and as many sources as you can think of.
