Get a coring aerator and run over it a few times the turn your landscape rake<br>backwards and drag it out. This will also help the lawn. I do it here in SW MS <br>every couple of years.good luck Tony

I suppose I should let you in on a little 'northern' secret - it's a _lot_ easier to drive in & on snow when the temp is 10 degrees, than when the temp is 28 degrees. Cold snow & ice is not nearly as slippery as stuff around freezing. That slush junk with freezing rain you get is just miserable. <br>But out here on the farm 4 foot drifts are the norm.<br>--->Paul<br>

All 3-point blades I know of float. Also when it snows it usually is frozen, so there is not much 'damage' to be done? But that's just my experience in MN. :)<br>--->Paul<br>

Dennis, Just called the dealer and said the prices were due to being a package deal. The 4200 4x4 hydro with f/rops and R4 tires = 14000, the 420 f/end loader with 61

I have a 1996 Kubota that has developed a sticking throttle. It springs<br>back about 1/2 way, but will not return to idle. I have to pull up on <br>the foot pedal with the back of my foot. <br>I've disconnected the linkages and the throttle itself (on the engine)<br>appears to be very hard to turn. There is a spring on the back of the <br>linkage, but it looks too light to be a return spring.<br>Does anyone have experience with servicing this mechanism? I've been <br>over it moderately well, and I don't see anything obvious.<br>I'm awaiting my factory service manual.<br>JD

You guys need to try a Brush Brute. It's an attachment that fits on your loader and<br>grabs the trees. You drive up to the tree, and pull it out, roots and all from the ground<br>and pile it up and burn it all. Stops regrowth from the stumps. A small tractor (MF135)with<br>hydraulics can pull out almost anything under 2 inches. I've seen them used on alder thickets<br>that you can't even walk through. Faster, easier, better job, and a lot easier on<br>the underside of the tractor than driving over 2 inch trees. And loader work is<br>more fun than mowing anyway!<br>Big G

Thanks Tom,<br>In fact the business aspect was one of the things I was throwing into<br> the decision making process. My wife has a business selling flower bouquets<br>at the local farmers market. But at this point it is really more of a hobby <br>than a money maker. So there may be some tax breaks but we need to show enough<br>profit to be able to take advantage of it. <br>Thanks to everyone for your wise words. I am still not certain what I am going to<br>do but you gave me a lot to think about.

Check the radiator, see if it's clogged with debris. I had a similar problem and that's all that it was, dirty radiator fins.<br>

Welcome. Mine stick out about two feet and are spring steel. I'd be tempted to<br>use automotive leaf springs from a light car with lots of springs....like an <br>old military jeep or a model A Ford....Or stop by the spring shop and ask for<br>some scrap like this. They can punch bolt holes and chop the ends to a point<br>as well. Surely 1/2

idea and want to go real cheap use soft mild steel. Even re-bar. Mild steel will
bend rather than shatter So what do you care? Just bend it back!

Get the heaters. They are a hundred dollar option on a 20K machine. In real cold<br>weather you will start easily when diesels without them will not start at all.<br>I plug mine in for 30 min. before starting when the temp. is below freezing.<br>Really reduces wear on the parts.

I have a JD material collection system - the one that raises up and dumps. It might be a bit of overkill but it works very well, especially for picking up leaves. It always raises fine and makes the swing around the top to dump. sometimes, however, on the way down it swings back very slowly and lowers very slowly with a definite twist indicating that both sides are not coming down evenly. Once down, the latches do not pull down tight. I have ensured that the guide bars are clean and smooth although they aren't even in the picture yet when the swing back is taking place. What can cause this - it doesn't happen all of the time but often enough to be a pain. My guess is that one of the cylinders is not working properly but I am new at debugging hydraulic problems - what would cause it or am I off base? I don't want to go through the expense of replacing the cylinder only to find the condition doesn't change.<br>Any ideas out there?<br>thanks

Loader breakout is measured at the cutting edge with the bucket near ground level. Lift capacity is what the loader will lift to full height. ASAE specifies how to measure both values and would expect JD follows industry standards.

Brent , Thanks for the info. I think maybe the price is a little high after getting your response. What a dilemma
