I found I like something about all of the top three, Deere, NW and Kubota. I liked how Kubota was set up, its features and finally the price. 38 hp was a sweet spot for me.

I too have noticed that there are several people using the boards as their salesmen which I don't agree with either.

As far as Art goes, I would have never known he was a dealer without putting 2 and 2 together and seeing his add. Kudos to Art for not trying to sell everyone on the board something but rather help them.

I think the post should be removed if it is an ad.

Thanks for the input guys! I'm debating on the backhoe - Once I get the house built, I'll have landscaping and a barn to build (footings, water and power to the barn, etc). As it is, I've got 2k feet of water line (still trying to figure out what it's going to take to make that work) and another 500' of other utility trenching.

If I'm going to do all this digging with the backhoe, the 4610 seems reasonable. If not, any other recommended model for fel pasture cleaning, snow blower work, and fence posthole drilling? Perhaps the 4610 is a bit much.

My dealer has a 4410 on the lot, but said it's only about $2500 less. Doesn't quite make sense to me, but it's probably got a different option set.

On my BX22 there were a couple of places where the rear tires came within 3/4 of an inch of the backhoe frame.

If you didn't have a backhoe to worry about you would still have to cut a lot af sheet metal off the rear fenders to get a larger tire in there.

Better to trade it for a machine with bigger wheels.

Hi Dennis. Seems like I touched on another part of your life. Strange the sorts of things that can be found on a tractor page.

I think we both have the same message. Once a site gets a bit complex and maintaining it starts taking a lot of time fishing around in files of content with embedded HTML tags then CSS sure does simplify life and also produce better results. I sure was happy to throw away all the old HTML tricks I learned to get decent formatting, and now I don't have to worry that I changed all instances in all files of what started out seeming like a simple fix. CSS does have quite a learning curve but it's well worth it if a site starts getting complex.

I think I got the impression that pros weren't using much HTML from a comment on my HTML editor's site when I upgraded it. Well, the new editor does generate decent CSS and various HTML standards despite the comment. I've also noted a bunch of file types (PL PHP CGI/Perl etc.) that led me to believe that people were generating entire sites from various scripts. I use some canned CGI and PHP myself but I wouldn't want to learn how to program it myself for what I do. CSS works just fine for me, and the site that verifies CSS and accompanying HTML code also is just great.

The Gehl 35 series skid steer loaders are a very good piece of equipment. A friend recently purchased the 6635 for $21,000 with a grapple bucket. He loves it and has had very good experiences with it. The 6635 is 48" wide but that is the smalles model they make.

I plan on the years that I will have it to use the 3PT more with time. When I was trying to do some rear blade work last fall it was not easy with the way the 2210 works Vs the 4115, plus the little more height that you get with the 4115. I don't think I can use a post hole digger on the 2210, and think I may want to do that in the years to come.
I paid 13458 for my 2210 with FEL, MMM, and they want to give me 11417, but dealer will pick up cost on some attachment pices that change from the 2210 to the 4115 along with rear light, load leveler, R4 tires.
I have 5 acres and I just think in the long run the 4115 will fit needs better then the 2210 esp in the 3PT area. I don't think my wife agrees to much yet.

Need to get some input on the size of rototiller that a BX1500 can handle for some light gardening and lawn reno tasks.<br>
<br>
Can a 1500 handle the Kubota B40C (37"), or a Howard HR4-88 (33"), HR4-105 (41") or HR4-125 (49") in light, sandy loam?<br>
<br>
Recommendations from any BX1500 or BX1800 users/owners?<br>

Thanks!

Murf: Thanks for the reply. Your comment may have pointed toward an explanation. As usual I have to come up with my own way to explain things to myself and they usually are different than what works for other people.

True that the return oil would be cooler if you send more gallons after the same work, but there are more gallons as well. The way I think of it is that heat dissipation depends on the temperature differential and total surface area of an exchanger rather than flow through it. Flow serves to maintain a heat differential. Increased flow would seem to increase heat dissipation only if the increased flow didn't lower the temperature too much.

Where I am still hung up a bit is an idea that the cases may act more like a heat accumulator than an exchanger. They have high volume per surface area; are fairly insulated (thick cases); and have high internal thermal mass (gears etc). I can't quite get my head around how much the temperature differential would be affected by a low flow of relatively hot oil or a high flow of cooler oil. Meanwhile, a high flow irrespective of the work performed would generate more heat losses due to more oil going through the pump, orifices etc. Inlet oil temp compared to outlet oil temp is another way of thinking about it

It's kind of a balance thing and I don't know where the balance is. However, your reminder that the system also has lines may be my answer. Steel lines in particular make efficient exchangers and lower flow through them should lessen heat dissipation quite a bit. I know snow and ice always melts on my lines and valves so there is quite a bit of dissipation there. Well, maybe not this morning since it was -34F.

Tom, The picture of the "scoot" took me back to my childhood. I remember helping my dad load peeled popple on one. We called it a dray and pulled it with the Ford 9N.

I'm a little skeptical about using the wheeled skidders with tractors. Most all skidders work the best if they can transfer a big portion of the weight of the log to the machine. In a CUT you would lift the butt of the log with the 3pt or a winch. You could, however, incorporate the arch/winch part of these rigs to your 3pt and accomplish the same thing. I would be very careful how high I lifted the logs. You would want to keep the center of gravity as low as possible for stability on turns.

I don't mean to high-jack this thread, but I am interested in something similar for my BX1500. I want to add a hydraulic valve for rear mounted implements. Is there a kit to add the block, valve, and a control lever in the stock right side fender location? My plan would be to install a bracket with quick disconnect fittings similar to larger rigs.

Hello <br>
<br>
Has anyone out there tried or experimented in any way to install a set of front and rear industrial R 4's on a Jinma tractor or its affiliates ? or know of anyone who would makes rims to fit anything from a JM184 to a JM284 ?<br>
I bet this would be a viable option for them or for many dealers If they could get proper rims to fit, If anyone has played around with this idea let us know as R 1's are not for everyone I believe the R 4's are a happy medium for many applications.<br>
<br>
Thanks much<br>

Thanks k9. That is a little overkill for a wood splitter but I do like the thought of the graples and I do have a small 8" cylinder laying here somewhere.

I don't think you'll find a complete engine for less than an overhaul. As for finding a Shibaura head , they are like finding hens teeth. If you can fix what you have , I'd recommend it. If it isn't repairable , I'd consider taking it in trade or buying it outright for a parts tractor.

I bought my first, and only, Kubota last spring and it's been terrific. It's a 1990 B6200 with 60" belly mower and rear blade. I learned on this website that the B5200, 6200 and 7200 are great little machines. I have also found that resale value is excellent, although that goes for most Kubota products. I would recommend this model to anybody, provided it's in good condition and the price is fair
