Frank, thats exactly what I wanted to know!

I just put the power beyond in myself (finished today), and it wasn't that difficult.

I was curious as to
what other work was required for the backhoe since the price quote included about $700 in labor for predelivery workorders (including the power beyond) and you have answered that question.

thanks, when you say tall? my understanding that the deck height can be adjusted upwards of 5", so set at 5" do you think I could cut 10" grass (not brush) but field grass?

I had a set of master keys. I worked for free at a construction company just to get to drive equipment. My boss gave them to me a going away present when my family moved from MA to MD. I had 40 keys on a 3" ring. I could go any where and borrow a machine. I had keys that fit cat to deere to case to Komatsu to bobcat to lawnmowers to golf carts to etc. I had them in a drawer in my room. One of the W#$%^&* movers stole them. I am in the process of get a new set. The keys range from $1 to $20 a piece.

You just got to look hard enough. I got a $1500 millcreek with $400 worth of weights for $375 plus tax. I put $44 in new bushings, 6 hours sandblasting and glass beading everything, 1 hour of frame straighting and rewelding and $12 in paint. It works like a champ. I got 4-60LB, 2-95LB, 3-70LB weights on top of the 430lb airator. Thats plenty of weight for a 60" airator. I use it to make a living and people only want their lawn done with core airators not spiked.

By the way the Mill creek airators are the best. Since their frame is made from 1.5" solid square bar, 3/8" by 3" flat bar and 1/4" by 2" flat bar. It hurts like heck when you drop it on your foot taking it off the tractor.

If your going to buy a tractor for a loader only machine than the B7410 is not a good idea. My dealer won't even sell you a B7410 with a loader. You need a B7510 because it has power steering. With any weight in the bucket you couldn't can't turn the steering wheel if your not moving. The B7510 has both a gear and a hydro model. The gear version is not much of a price difference over the B7410. Or look a BX series. You will be very unhappy with its performance while using the loader. Also look at the LA302 loader, is only a little more but you get a grill gaurd and a heavier lift capacity.

The BX23 has a heavier frame on it to handle the hoe. It worth spending the money now. Plus kubota voids the warrenty if you put an after market hoe or loader on their tractor.

I am surprised that I don't see seights & chains for the snowblowing chores or did you just not have time to get a pix of the tractor with the chains on. We sure didn't have any timely breaks from moving snow here 20 miles north of Syracuse, NY. I still have 3 feet of compacted snow in the front yard and 5 more inches forecasted for the next 24 hours. Oh well, I'll enjoy spring that much more whenever it arrives. :)

thanks and a question

Thanks for that info- I would definately want to have that ability to float the FEL for back-dragging or especially snow removal! The dealer here in Harrisburg is new, and unfamiliar with this type feature. <br>
Is there anyone familiar with the Mahindra 2015 that knows how they accommodate for float?<br>
Thanks

I think you're talking apples and onions here. The B21 is a heavy duty commercial TLB machine, and as I understand, the FEL is not removable. I have a BX22, and its perfect for me. So far, I've used it to dig drain line trenches, plant trees, remove small trees (4" in diameter) and bushes, remove sidewalks, shovel snow, and of course, mow grass. It has performed all of these tasks to my satisfaction and to switch from TLB to 1st class mowing machine only takes about 20 minutes (with a little practice). I can highly recommend the BX22.

It's hard to say. The PDF I downloaded has pictures of four buckets and the smallest has three teeth, but it doesn't indicate which size buckets they are. Since six sizes are available I'm not sure which four sizes are pictured.

Cheif, thanks for the info on the 1584 rake. I had some 1 in. rock delivered a few days ago, and the dealer has offered to let me demo one this coming week. It sounds like you're real happy with yours, so I'm sure I'll buy it. I have several other pieces of Land Pride equipment that have all been top quality. The dealer also now handles Frontier brand that offers a rake too. Is Frontier owned by Deere? I've noticed several pieces of Frontier on their lot, but haven't taken the time to look at them. Thanks, Frank.

Dennis, it would be great to be able to use regular expressions when doing a text search of message subject lines and message bodies. Any chance of this?

That appears to be a good price with R-4's. You may be able to negotiate a little lower. It's worth a try.

You can find quite a few Branson dealers on the net with about the same deal. You would think there is a little room for negotiation.

Do you still have those planes? what are you flying theses days?

You could use the geothermal for radiant floor as well. Use a geothermal desuperheater to heat the water in a hot water tank with a propane burner, and feed the radiant floor system from there. The propane can be used to bring the water up to temp if it's a little cool and as an auxiliary heat source during power outages. I'm looking at doing something similar when I add radiant floor heat to our main floor. The intention is to use cool well water to help cool the house in the summer, too, using heat exchangers of course to protect the potable supply.

Does anyone know where I can find a rear axle housing (R7 ?) for a Yanmar YM2000.

That is right about the backhoe needing the folding rops. Many of the Kubota hoes took special rops for the hoe do to the fact they fit closer to the tractor than the aftermarkets normally do.

Those are good old tractors and very reliable to say the least. There probably are some units around but they more then likely have a tractor hooked to them. There are some flaws to lookout for with these tractors. Probabbly the biggest draw back is no power steering but the other side many of the after market units didn't support the center section well enough for the rigors of TLB work. You might find the attachments you need but I think it might be easier to move up to a newer unit that is complete.
