Suggestion, maybe someone over at the CTOA board is close by geographly and could show/demostrate one of theirs. I checked out 2 before buying my Jinma but not from Northern as I bought a crate unit.Very happy with mine. Shown mine 3 times to prospective buyers. One is ordering his from Northern. I understand Northern is a good outfit to buy from.

Mark one mourning I found the two donkeys in my barn, they were seeking political assylum. They were being ridiculed in the herd for being outspoken on their support of the president and the war in Iraq. They are also big opponents of nationalized medicine or anything else being nationalized for that matter. We welcomed them into our little herd with opened arms and hooves.

On the bottom right of the hood on my BX 1500, there is a sheel metal cutout with an electrical connector showing. The connector has 2 heavy red wires and a plastic cap. It is not used. Can someone tell me what this is normally used for?<br>
Thanks, <br>

Does anyone know of a snowthrower available for a New Holland GT65 (3 cyl. diesel garden tractor). This tractor is manufactured in Japan by Shibaura. This tractor has a front PTO.

I do not think that "Japs" is the proper slang for South Korea. Feel free to correct me... The term "Japs" refers to the people of Japan.
I am a Kioti dealer in the north Texas area... The 3054 was my "bread and butter" for many years. It is a stout, dependable machine. The DK series tractors knocked the LK's out of my "bread and butter" slot.
Of the hundreds of 3054's that we have sold since the mid 90's, I have seen the insides of only 1 (one) engine... This particular machine belongs to a rental company, and rarely has an easy work day. The owner of this rental company has purchased several machines of differant colors, and has informed me that the Kioti was by far the most reliable rental tractor he ownes.
With the introduction of the LK3054XS, the LK3054 should be even more attractively priced.
I am 5 feet 7 inches tall, 200 lbs, in good health. Just as most all of the "older style" tractors, the machine (3054)is diffucult to get on and off of. However, once on the machine, it fits me like a glove. All the controlls are well placed, easy to operate. The price you quoted from Tilton is a very compettitive price. As far as the 3 year warrenty, chances are you will never need it as long as you do the "mantenance thing" in a timely fashion.

You are right about the allowances being low on the dealer. Many people will give the owner more for the unit off his yard then at a dealer as they feel they don't have to worry about the used car salesman. Truth be know we go thru all our trades we retail with oil and filter changes as well as checking the sdjustments. Call me within a reasonable time frame and we will straighten out anything that is not right. That is still selling them as is! Would anybody else do that? When considering trades it still works out as the bottom line is where it's at.

Well did anyone get any new toys for Christmas? Snowblowers, tillers, rotary cutters, post hole diggers????<br>
I didn't get any new toys for the tractor, but this spring Santa may stop by!!!<br>
I did get a Craftsman circular saw with the laser trac. It has a 14 amp motor and is very heavy. I guess my wife is trying to tell me I need some help staying on line.

The issue with the faded paint is applicable to pretty much all tractors if you leave them parked out in the sun and weather. My L245 was severely faded and the paint looked horrible. I buffed it out with some McGuiar's Heavy Oxidation Remover and the paint looked as good as new. Same thing applies with the plastic/fiberglass on the John Deere's.

I ran into this width problem on my trailer with the 72" MMM on my 4410. Even with the grass deflector chute hooked up and out of the way; the MMM is still about 2" to wide. My trailer is about 77" wide. Next trailer I get will be wide enough to accomodate this problem.

Ponyman, I have a busy couple of days ahead of me and I haven't had time to go through every issue in your e-mail, but two things off the top of my head:

1) The 46 backhoe is specifically set up for the machine. Even the sub-frame from a 4110 will not fit a 4115, so if is unlikely that a rented generic b/h will fit on a given tractor or be safe to use..... as in voiding the warranty.

2) Given your circumstances I think you will be very pleased with the 4115 with one word of caution. I don't know how much your loaded manure spreader weighs but if it is over 2000 pounds and your land is hilly, the tail might wag the dog sometimes. Talk to some other members on this issue like F350lawman. He hauls a lot of s#!* and his 790 is nearly the same weight and horsepower as a 4115.

I think there is a difference in the quality, look at the initial issue of the 4000 series deere and how tied up the boards were with the tire rutting problems. Look at the fact that about 1/3 of the newer 10 series has had electronic malfucntions? I guess with the problems listed on there newer models ignored or the future costs of these problem areas I guess you might say they have no problems. Personally being a dealer for the years that we have I hate to listen to customers while their equipment is being used as test equipment for a manufacturer and there largest concern is to show a profit for stock holders! A good dealer is worth a lot and that should be a concern.

Thanks for the note. It's always good to hear how things turn out. It sounds like you got a 'one-hand connect' type of female coupler. You may have a type that also connects under full system pressure, which require less attention to relieving line pressures when disconnecting hoses. They are a bit expensive. I may make a conversion to this type because it can be a little frustrating trying to hold back slides with oily fingers on my closely spaced valve couplers with one hand while wrestling using the other to wrestle with the hoses. My valve has three sections, so there's not much to grab on the centre coupler.

Look like Jinma's with a John Deere'ish green and yellow paint job to me. I think they look MUCH better in this paint scheme. ;o)

Did you ever get this experiment started? It sounds pretty interesting as a concept? I am certain there would be some HP concerns for attachments.

Before I took it to a Ford/New Holland dealer, I think I would take it to the guys with green paint and see what they have to offer. Sorry to hear you are having such a hard time. Be patient, your dealer may get it fixed and cover the cost yet.

Hope that fixed your transmission for good but I would still keep a transmission fund handy for when or if it decides to crap out for good.
