I have a JD670 and I always wear one. They wouldn't call 'em accidents if you knew they were coming. I was involved in accident investigation/prevention <br>as a past career. The only way you can gage sucesss is by failure. You will never know and can never know how many accidents you prevent. You<br>or anyone else just can't tell. It doesn't take but a second to use proper safety equipment but has the potential to save an enormous amound of grief. Just think of a time you injured yourself doing something you know wasn't smart. I bet you had maybe a few weeks or month to think about it. I suspect those that haven't worn them are just lucky. The phrase

Are you talking about draft sensing or the three point lift itself? I don't know a thing about the JD 1070, but<br>I have a Yanmar 336D which is very similar to the 1070 in most respects because Yanmar built your tractor. <br> Automatic draft sensing usually just raises the<br>implement enough to clear the obstacle when you hit a stump or a rock. An inch is about typical. After all, it<br>is designed for plowing work and you don't want to pull out of the furrow. Now if the tractor senses that the <br>implement is still stuck after it raises it the first inch it will re-cycle and raise it another inch....and this can go<br>on and on till you are clear of the hangup. <br> A 12

point lift arms.
Apologies if this is all known to you, but a 12" draft lift is hard to imagine. Most tractors take a few seconds
to cycle through each inch of automatic lift. If I waited till the draft sensing mechanism raised 12", my rear tires
would dig in halfway to the axles. Roger Loving

This is a continuation of the previous

Dogone it! Blades are a favorite subject around here...
Yes, I have a scarifier on one of my box blades. I
never use the thing.....It was necessary when I had light
weight
blades, but the heavy Rhino does a better job than the
scarifier did. If you really want a scarifier, consider
buying a
tool bar with 4 or 5 spring tooth harrows mounted on it
instead. This will cost about $300 new at the JD dealer, and
does a better job of scarifying.
It looks like I'm writing a book here! But the subject
is one that I've spent some time on. I currently own two
lighter
back blades and two box scrapers as well as the Rhino. There
were other blades that I bought and re-sold along the
way. The only ones i use are the Rhino and the smallest box
blade, which is currently being used as a counterweight
on my little 16hp Yanmar.
The next project is to mount the Big Rhino on the 33 hp
4wd Yanmar and see if that tractor can handle it. I am
doubtful,
but looking forward to the experiment. I suspect this
tractor would go better with a 6 foot Rhino. With
the ability to offset the blade, it is usually better to use
a the smaller size and make a few more passes. The endcaps
enable it to pull a huge amount of dirt....
BTW, the Rhino is not the only good blade out there.
But it is one of the real good ones.

Kevin, Keep us all posted on if your boomer is, in fact, fixed. If it is; fine. If not let as many people on this board and the virtual farm show board know that it is not fixed. We will all know what tractor not to buy in the future. If it's not fixed hopefullt you'll get a new TC. <br>

The power loss that my JD4400HST tractor periodically experienced has apparently been solved by the dealer together with Jd Tech Support. The dealer picked up the tractor the day after I contacted them and returned it a couple of days later. They adjusted (loosened) the SCV lever that operates the cylinder used to raise the mower deck so that the lever is self-centering because they were concerned that if it were not centered manually, it might leave the SC valve open slightly causing an extra load on the engine. More importantly, the dealer discovered that the parking brake had not been set to factory specs which is four clicks. It was only engaging with two clicks because one of the two brake cables (one to each brake) was factory-adjusted too tight which would cause the brake to drag; which would explain why, when I let up on the pedal when it was experiencing power loss while driving it down the road in road gear, that the RPMs would instantly return to normal. In the two weeks of loader work and mowing since the tractor was returned to me, it has functioned flawlessly like I expect.<br>Mike

Pretty normal for a sticking clutch. It is possible for part of the 2 stage clutch to stick and the main portion to still work. <br>Is the adjustment at the limit? Is the clutch getting hard to push in? You are about at the hours where a clutch would<br>need to be replaced. <br> But chances are that it just sat and rusted and is somewhat stuck. You need to free it up and exercise that 2nd<br>stage by pushing the clutch all the way in when you use it. And consider blocking the clutch when you let it set for <br>a few months. Many compact tractors have a some device on the clutch pedal which lets you lock it in the disengaged<br>position for storage. Note that the problem is common enough that manufacturers have devised a fix.....<br> Roger Loving

I have a 5 footer on my B2710 and it works great. Seems to be the perfect weight for the loader, and find it easy to control. Its cuts beautifully as fast as I can go with getting bucked off the tractor in my rough pasture.

I bought the 21d about 3 months ago for 14.5 with loader. I forget what the loader itself cost, but I assume that's about 12k or so without loader. All in all, once you ante up the cost of the entry level, you might as well get what you want. I got the 21 because it's also my new (big) lawn mower, and anything larger wouldn't fit in my shed. If you have need for a larger machine, I encourage you to fork out the extra grand or so. The 25 is bigger, heavier, and more powerfull for a relatively small increase in cost. As for me, I love my 21d.

I'm with Ted on this one. My diff lock only stays when one of the rear wheels is in a position to spin freely (ie. off the ground.) Then when it resumes straight and level travel the lever pops back out to avoid remaining locked when turning. Mine works the same way regardless of whether or not it's in 4wd. When I'm going over really rough ground or through nasty mud I just keep the lever pinned down with my heel until I'm through it.

Sounds scary to me. Unless I was qualified to make the repairs myself (as in good welder with experience in these areas) I wouldn't want to get involved. As the other person here mentioned it does sound abused.

Has anyone come up with a commercial (i.e. Fram, Purolator, etc), locally available engine oil filter for the LK 3054. I've ordred a couple of Kioti filters from a dealer, but would like to run down to the local parts house and buy the filter.

When I bought a B7100 four years ago, the shop manual was so expensive, I bought a much cheaper one at Tractor Supply, but in my opinion, it's not a very good one, and the B7300 is new enough that the dealer may be the only place to get one.

Just bought a NH TC18. My dealer also said to use 'farm' diesel from the local coop. He mentioned that if on-road diesel is used, a fuel additive should also be used. The rational as explained to me was the internal lubrication thing.

I work for a major investor owned utility company in Texas. We have been udating and testing for Y2K compliance for over 2 years now. The power grid has been forced into Y2K for testing and passed. I doubt that we will lose our electrical service but I have to admit that I am doing research about purchasing an electrical generator. I live in the country and the most important need I have is to be able to pump water from my 450ft well which uses a 2hp pump. Secondly I would like to be able to power my little 145 amp wire feed welder. The welder is rated at 22amps.<br> I own a Kabota B7100 compact tractor and ran across this group while looking into PTO driven generators. I'm still not sure about stand alone vs. PTO generators.<br>Mike.
