That sounds a little high to me. I just bought a 7800 in November and got the FEL and 60" mid mount mower and R-4 tires for $16,900. Are you getting anything else with it? I think the midmount mower is around $2,500 or so. There is a website that will give you a price range, I listed it below.
The 7800 is an awesome machine and I love mine.
Good luck

I haven't noticed change in tension when my second stage starts to compress but then maybe I just haven't noticed. My thought for a simple fix is that 2" of free play sounds excessive for many tractors. Maybe there's just too much free-play and the clutch isn't releasing.

If that isn't the answer, I'd hesitate to pull start it, chain it to something etc. unless I was certain that the problem was a rusted clutch disk.

I think Mark owned a BX so his memory likely is pretty good. 1800 is on the low side for systems pressures. The designers probably chose to limit the lift capacities for a small light tractor. I've seen some implement manufacturers that spec minimum psi requirements but I don't think I've seen any higher than 1800 so the pressure shouldn't affect purchasing implements. Besides most implements would work at lower pressure since it is loads rather than pumps that develop pressure. It just means that heavier loads will stall the hydraulics.

I can't imagine that extra heat and hydrocarbons do rubber any good but I haven't heard of a problem. I'd just as soon the exhaust go somewhere myself. Maybe one of those 50's 'downdraft extensions' would clamp on the pipe. If there's no support for the pipe except for the manifold mounts, I'd hesitate to hang much weight on the end of the pipe.

FYI, from my (limited) experience, the catalytic radiant propane heaters are odor-free, the blue-flame type (unvented) not completely so. <br>
No problems with smoke detectors with either, so long as the air near the detector is below about 105F :)<br>

Mark I am taking the best features I've seen and used over the years to build.

It will have log lift, trays to hold unsplit, trays will eventually funnel into elevator for wagon, Also it will allow stationary operation and keep pushing up a pile.

My intent is to eventually us a 11-13 hp with a 20-22 gpm pump. But for now I'm going to use the Power Beyond hyd system from tractor. It will allow me time for fine tuning of system.

I've seen several types of lifts and none have really impressed me. So I am thinking about a boom with hooks that rotates on a shaft.

I've seen the electric ones in books. I've seen the ads, BUT I do not think those people that wrote the ads heat with wood. Looks like something city people would buy to split their store bought wood into kindling to start their cherry little fireplaces.

I recently purchased a tiller that I am sure is a Yanmar. There are no identifying tags remaining on it. It has a 3 point hitch (original) is 65 inches wide across the front, has a total of 36 tines, and has the trailing wheels for height adjustment. From what I can find, I beleive it might be a RS1400, or one in that series. However, I have heard that the first 2 numbers of the model number are the width. In this case, the cutting width is probably 64 inches, or 1600 mm, which would make it a RS1600, or similar model. Can anyone out there identify this tiller's model number? Thanks.<br>

Simon is correct. No pins to turn the seat. I do the same when I need to move the bx I lift the fel and push the hst.

Yes, the backhoe is very easy to remove. I do recommend however making a couple of dollies to move the backhoe around when it is off of the bx, this also makes it easier to line up the backhoe to put it back on. Good luck!

I have a 2003 TC45D with a NH backhoe. My opinion is that if you use a major brand hoe like Landpride, Woods, New Holland, you are not at risk for any problems. These companies make these tools for many years and have quite a reputation in their equipment. When you start getting into general use equipment, stuff that fits any tractor, from a small, grey-market company, you don't really know what you are getting. My NH hoe is a subframe mount, you can't move the hoe from the mounts without moving the whole tractor. good luck.

Thanks for your reply. I thought at first it might be a 2WD vs 4WD thing, but that's not the case. I'll check out the Carver site. While I have your attention, what's GST stand for? Does it have to do with a hydrostatic clutch? Thanks

To treeman: Makers of these cans use the two colors interchangably. I've seen blue and yellow cans that say both diesel and kerosene.
To TomG: Kerosene is the most refined (cleanest)form of these fuels. no1 and no2 are the same thing except that the no2 has a dye added to it so that trucks can be checked to make sure they are not burning no2 over the road. No2 has no federal or state DOT taxes added to the cost, that's why iot is about 50 cents cheaper per gallon. The dye in no2 is red and causes to fuel to gell at a higher temp than no1 will, so if the machinery is used and stored outdoors at low temps, no1 should be used. No1 is diesel, No2 is home heating oil.

Your manual may say how to do it, but here's what I do. You want the PTO shaft to have a minimum of 6" overlap at full extension (implement as far down as it will go) and you don't want it to bind at full compression (implement raised as far as it will go). The trick is to cut equal lengths off of each shaft when shortening rather than to cut all the length off of one shaft. This will keep your U-joint angles equal. There is no one length - it depends on how tall the implement is and how far back the PTO attachment point is relative to the 3ph.

The "Cone" style spreaders are just fine for the salt and stonedust, as long as the stonedust from your area is not to coarse. The chips you are referring to must mean wood chips??? I don't think that will work too well. Now to sand. If you use sand in one of those spreaders, it must be a real fine sand, not "angular" sand like concrete sand. What is reffered to as "sugar" sand, will flow fine, assuming the material is dry and not wet. Any wet sand will bind up causing what is referred to as "tunneling". hope this helps.

I got a front blade..because I have a long, slightly uphill blacktop lane, several hundred feet to the highway, so a back blade and bucket would not do me very well..looking back, or driving over snow to plow it..and going side to side with a bucket..that's too much..The blade will work fine, I am sure. I had the tires loaded with antifreeze.
I will us the FEL for other things, including manure at the barn for the horses. Also am bringing in some shale in the spring to do some grading and so on. I got chains on the rears also for this winter. Thanks.

You got to watch that starter fluid. To much and you'll send the head or crank through the block. Eaton mower service burned a entire shop down after a machine caugh on fire from starter fluid. The fire dept. didn't have a chance to save it.

Ok, I just recieved a quote from a dealer on the B7500 and now seeing another model (B7510) that was not listed on Kubota's web site. I am assuming this is the newer model. Should I be looking at the B7510?
