I have been trying to negotiate a deal on a used BX2200 from an individual (not a dealer). His price is firm at $11,000 for one with 170 hours, 60" deck (just bought to help the sale, never used), LA211 loader, and a 42" tiller. I could certainly use the implements, but a little hesitant about the price.

Any comments on the price? Can't find any NADA-type guides... should I continue looking for a better deal? Maybe look at a JD?

Anyone have any comments on maintenance requirements and reliability issues between the Kub and JD? I've been told the JD is more expensive to maintain, but have no experience. What about ease of doing repairs by yourself? How about the cost and availability of parts for do-it-yourselfers?

I've found a yanmar 2700 that looks like it just came off the showroom floor, no rust anywhere, complete and everything working like new. They want $4750 with a new Modern 4ft brush hog,new heavy duty box blade, and gin pole type lift. Can anyone tell me what year these were made, how easy parts can be found, and is 4750 a deal. Also what is the hp rating? Thanks

Tim, when it boils down to a sale or trade the only difference you might have is the sales tax issue we go thru here in NY. It is a shame but the true value on your tractor is hindered as it is two models old. Market value most any where will hover around 10,000 maybe a bit above or below depending on your market.

JD 48 bent dipper stick cylinder. Last Sat am put hoe on to dig a new burn pit. Working close to tractor with dipper stick. The dipper stick must have been real close to the stop. Went I started to lift the boom I heard a bang. Thought what to heck and realised I had pulled the dipper stick. Boom and Dipper stick levers on JD are backwards from Industry standard. Most of our big construction equipment, at work, the boom on right and dipper on left. I figured when I got the 48 that what little I'd use it I would not fuss over it and I would be careful. OH WELL!

Called Dealer Monday they overnighted new cylinder in and I removed old cylinder, swapped at dealer, and installed new one, NO CHARGE! Cazenovia Equipment, NY IS THE BEST!!!

New cyl is $585.00 to rebuild is $300.00+

One non JD mechanic suggested to swap hoses. I told him you can't do that because of Problems with relief valves and restrictors and anti cavatation ports. Was ganna just swap restrictors etc but a little orifice in the Boom body must be moved requiring the valve block assembly to be removed anyway. Talked it thru with JD service manager Rich and the cut mechanic Doug. Both felt just move/restack the valve bodys.

Pulled whole block out restacked the valves in the new order. Moved hoses to new locations. JD said the warranty will still stand.

The dipper cylinder still strokes just a little too far and requires the relieve valve to function, the cylinder still flexes quite a bit. Do Not know yet why the relief valve did not save the cylinder on Sat. But do believe the block on the dipper stick needs tweaking to let the cylinder stroke to its limit. Until I get it sorted out Dipper stays out away from tractor.

Any way I've said it many times: You might pay a little more at a dealer that provides excellent service up front. Cheapest purchase is not always the best. Cazenovia Equipment has taken excellent care of my needs for any work. The mechanics answer my questions and they offer good advice.

Jon a local welding shop should be able to fabricate those for you no problem at all. Take the parts that are left to them and describe what they should be.

Jweed...go with the 62" deck...it will actually be easier to mow around trees with. It gives you more clearance between the tree and the tractor. Believe me, I know, 7 acres...all wooded. Dang grass keeps growin no matter what I do.

A 38 will also offset enough to cover youe tracks and it might be a better fit for the horsepower.

You should try and compare the comparable models from brand to brand. A garden tractor is going to be the best for a more effortless tilling.

Known to me alternatives, synthetics or light gear oil. Those are the only choices you have that I have heard of and they seem to go back and forth.

Steve, how did you wind up with a spare engine? Did you have a bad tractor?

Being self employed is different I agree because its hard to seperate business issues without letting personal emotions concur. However, talking strictly warranty from a manufacture, the mfg depends on their authorized dealers for customer satisfaction. You signed an authorized dealer agreement with Kioti which states specific terms for the dealer and consumer. Bottom line is e- business has changed the way of doing business and the result is what you described above. For the consumer, the bottom line is same product but prices can differ by thousands of dollars. What would you do in the consumers shoes. I agree, from your perspective, its irrating but its a result of how business is changing today.

DrJ225, Porsche did make make and import tractors. They whad diesel engines. They had a single, a twin, a three and four cylinder machines. The interesting thing is the engines were modular and you could bolt together two twin cylender engines, and have a four cylinder if you neede extra HP... My boss has one of each.. A single, a two, a three and a four cylinder machine. All restored.

I am in the market for a small Tractor,
I want to:
mow about 2,5 Acres lawn,
move around landscaping materials,
dig post holes for fencing,
brush hog about 6 acres

A neighbor has a 1994 4wd 1215 Turf tires, with a front loader, 60" deck mower. He has had the tractor from new and has only 100 hours. My question is will this tractor be capable of running a post hole digger, as I have approximately 200 post to put in.

Thanks

I have an opportunity to purchase a MT180HD with 925hrs, 4ft bush hog, boom pole, root rake, and box scrape for $3,000. Good price or not. Fair to average cosmetic shape. What is the HP of this tractor? When was it made? Thanks, Nelson

Anybody have suggestions on a proper Backhoe for a John Deere 855? It will be used mainly for drainage tile work.

I searched through prior posts. Saw a couple discussed. I see no one mentioning the bushhog brand, is their a problem with theirs.

Thanks for all inputs.
