Do you see any leaks from the hydraulic system or head? I get oil all over my starter from leaks on my old antique MF.

Well lets see. I had a new GM 6.2 diesel I changed religiously every 2500 miles with Mobil Delvac 1200 and 1300 it came out black and was black in 15 minutes after an oil change. I had a JD 2010 diesel and a 4020 diesel, both came out black even after a clean job with tranny fluid being run for 30 minutes. My brother and I completely re-built a Ford 4000 diesel top and and bottom and it went black after 30 minutes. Only engine that I ever owned that the same color as the oil went in was a Mercruiser 2.5 GM Iron Duke 4 cylinder. I have a Ariens/Kohler 14 hp that just changed with 15W40 Chevron Delo Diesel oil that now has 3 hours on it and it is still honey colored. My brother is a Regional Tech Rep for Komatsu and has seen every piece of diesel contruction equipment made and has Never seen diesel oil come out of ANY diesel engine less than BLACK. If there is a oil filter out there that filters soot I havent found it because I have used them ALL. A soot particle is real small and must go through conventional filtration techniques???? Who makes a Fleetguard filter?????<br>

He is out of his mind at 15K. If you pay 12k with the back finish mower, that is about what they go for and it is not really a good deal. 15k is what the tractor went for brand new give or take. What year is it???

Kubota has a picture of one attached to an Orange Tractor in one of the sales brochures.

The smallest model they list a Kubota trencher for is a 2410, which has 18 PTO ponies. The BX is close at about 17 PTO horses.

In November of 2002 I purchased an L2900 4WD FEL with 440 hours in like new condition for $12000, that was a below average price. I had been looking for about 6 months. In my area (SW Virginia)I found that they ranged anywhere from $16500 to $12000. My guess for a fair price would be around $13500.

My brother just bought a new 4310 the dealer talked him into a 72" bucket. I think this will limit his ability to lift and dig as well as make moving around in tight spots harder. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

No real help here but it's an interesting question and I might learn something from a discussion.

My impression of semi-mounted plows is that they depend on wheels for leveling and that the hitch raises or lowers the front of the plow. I don't know how the tiller mounts and what maintains the front to back level.

With 3ph implements, the top-link keeps maintains the implement's front to back level irrespective of the hitch position. When using a ground-engaging implement, the draft rotates the implement on its lower link pins and places compression on the top-link.

It would tempting to think that a conversion might consist of simply removing any wheels, skids or whatever the tiller floats on and welding on a top-link bracket. If that's the basic idea, a good question might be whether the tiller frame is designed to withstand the forces generated by top-link compression. Another question might be whether the tractor's top-link bracket is designed to withstand the compression a tiller would generate.

If they have a typical position control 3ph, the flow-control valve may be closed or obstructed. The linkage is another possibility.

I don't know the specific linkage on these tractors. In general, the quadrant lever should move the control valve arm. The arm works a lever that will operate the lift spool, the poppet valve or neither. On some tractors it's fairly easy to do a minor disassembly so you can see the lever work on the valve heads. With the quadrant level in lift mode, the lift spool should be depressed, in neutral, the lever should contact neither valve head. In lower, the popper valve should be depressed. The gaps between lever and valve heads are adjustable on some tractors and a shop manual would give specs and procedures.

The poppet valve is what you are interested in. If it is depressed and the flow control valve is open then the 3ph should lower (some of them may take some encouragement if there's no load on the hitch). If it doesn't lower then there's likely an obstruction or stuck valve.

In this reasoning I'm doing, I'm assuming that the hydraulics are an open system type and that any other component such as a loader is plumbed ahead of the 3ph. In most 3ph's of this type, oil in the lift cylinder exits from through the flow-control valve passage and poppet valve, and it returns directly to the oil reservoir.

I believe that Mazzotti hoes are discussed several times archive discussions. I seem to recall that some of the posts were made by a dealer who carries Mazzotti.

It can be tricky finding things in the archives though. Subject titles aren't always what the discussions are about and full text searches take awhile.

Yes, I believe it's true that turfs can have more traction than ags. Some of my box work is on new ground and ags probably would be an advantage. I doubt the tractor has the weight to sink lugs into compacted gravel drives so the turfs likely are better. When I cut down the grade on the drive last summer it probably would have been a toss-up. I don't think there's any contest on ice.

Actually, the 6' 750-lbs. box for my 24-hp tractor probably is the greater traction challenge but I like the greater width. The times I want a more aggressive cut are when working shallow excavations. When working grades, an aggressive cut fills the box too fast and leaves divots in the nice straight grade I'm trying to work. I tend to use the rear cutter for cutting down hillocks, and the cylinder length is about right for adjusting the rear cutter angle. The traction isn't quite enough to drag full boxes of gravel out of a pile but it will drag them as long as I'm not on 6" of loose gravel. Don't know if ags would do any better.

All in all, the box and turfs probably would be my set up of choice even if that's not what I already have. R4's might be of some interest to me due to their greater load ratings but I don't know how they'd compare to turfs on ice. I run minimum tire pressures during the winter to gain traction. I don't know if the same thing works with the stiffer R4's. R4's would jar my teeth on the road though.

Bernie;

I am sorry to here that your JD 855 has been a lemon. My manual states that the 855 is shod with 4x15 for ags and 23-8.50-12 for turfs. I agree the sidewalls on these small tires are not too puncture resistant. I ended up with tubes in mine.

If you look back on the posts you will realise this is not the first time we have discussed the JD problem. They seemed to be slow in correcting the 4xxx series problems.

I just I am one of those people that starts quiet and with out any action will raise the roof. If I see something that is a safety related item I will certainly make noise until I get action. I had a Toyota with a critica safety related problem that could have distroyed the engine if I had not caught it immediately. It took going progressively higher in management but I finally had it fixed out of waranty. As for JD I would go as high as I needed to get action, if you are certain that it is a defect.

I would be worried how you could prove that hydraulic steering cylindar had not been previously damaged. This is not the first JD hydraulic cylinder to fail, check for posts.

Certainly looks like you may have found the problem. You can definately have something grounding out and causing intermitten shorts. I'm sorry I did not make it clearer that you needed to check all the wires before you go further to look at the coils. In reread my "Maybe that is just Lucas electrics, but you need to check that you are getting spark." Did not really cut it.

I did price a 8454 with 9' hoe and quick release front bucket. I want to know more about the unit but all I can find is Kioti on the internet. I have driven one and was very impressed. It is not a Kubota or Deere but not the price either. The dealer did not have an info either. He also doesn't have hoe or bucket. What I wanted to know is if my 3 hoe buckets, pallet forks and my hydr grapler from my 7360SS will work with the cub/kioti? If you can help please fire away.

I have ground which is only clay. I have used my loader to create a drainage ditch in front of my house and then remove sod and clay for a driveway on the other side of my house. I has plenty of power, and I noticed that when I would occasionally dig the loader in a little too far and oooooops a hole I have to fill in.

Go to Kioti.com, look at the Mazzoti Backhoes, the buckets go from 6" and up. I too would like one, but don't know if they would fit, if you find a 6" bucket that works, let me know, thanks.
