its nice to know there is a kubotaguy out there too...i guess everyone has a match...
Yes, dark hardwood is totally the way to go, even the cypress is unreliable sometimes...but remember, there are great things you can do with a tub grinder and some perserverance...if your really that anti red mulch.

You may not see long term uses for your tractor now, but once you get it they will very much come to light. If you truly enjoy doing these tasks yourself buy the tractor. Through the spring, fall and summer I use mine almost everyday. I have had or have all the toys you could want, many are just a wast of money after you lose interest. If you lose interest in your CUT at least it will hold its value. The two best things I ever bought are my TC33D and a dump trailer. Now I am looking for a backhoe for the tractor. With the size property you have the tractor seems like a good buy if you can afford it. Ask everyone on the board that has 4 wheelers, dirtbikes or hottubs and see which they would rather have instead of their CUT.

grinder,

The Honda SUT (Sports Utility Truck) will be based on the Pilot and will have full-time All Wheel Drive (essentially front wheel drive w/a transfer case to the rear wheels and no low range). It will have the same V-6 as the Pilot and Odyssey and may or may not have a rear drop down to lengthen the cargo bed (like the Avalanche). It will not have a separate bed and will be about the same size as an Explorer Sport-Trac. All in all a great package for someone who occasionally needs to haul something but it definitely won't be a full-sized truck such as the Nissan Titan and it sure won't be in the same neighborhood as any of the 3/4 & 1 ton diesel pickups.

This is my first post here. Been gathering a lot of useful info from this forum. I bought a JD 790 about a month ago - it's the new style with bottom exhaust and a different type fuel filter ( a few other changes). Anyway my engine model is 3TNV82A - anyone have any idea what the difference is between that and the 3TNE82A? Might be just a newer model.

Thanks to everyone posting here at TractorPoint.com - this site is very useful!!

Looks like I get to test out the chains on a big one, and the 'vintage' Skidoo snowmobile suit I got off eBay.

I built a CadPlans Mod. 708 a couple of years ago, from the MetKit metal kit.
Mostly for my own reference, I documented the project in the web page linked below.
It has been a really handy machine. At first I thought that it would basically replace manual labor, but it turns out it will do things that just wouldn't be possible without it. I have dug out some impressive rocks. A big cottonwood stump did defeat me, though :-(
I designed some hydraulic stabilizers on AutoCAD using off the shelf hydraulic cylinders and valves. Never have had any motivation to build them, though. The hoe works pretty well as is. I made a link from a spare top link (it is shown in some of the last pictures on the web page) that allows me to tie the hoe down if I want to; then I have to unhook it to raise the 3ph.
Good luck

Hello everyone

Well the tractor is fixed and for sale - but lots of
controversy regarding theses Jinma's - had a buyer!
But as he started to ask questions from 4-5 dealers across the country and all his questions were answered differently
he got confused. So - he decided not to buy mine. Apparently 2001 was the first year that Jinma made the 354 (not information I was provided at the time of purchase)and
from what he has been told there has been alot of improvements. Also - mine has the ZL30 FEL (which he is told does not hold up and not really the best to have) he
would have to exchange it. I was also told that current year
models are not sold in the same year and that all tractors
for instance sold in 2004 would be model 2003, and he can buy a 2004 now. I am totally confused myself now. I have reduced the price to $8,000 and am taking quite a loss on this tractor I paid $14,200 and have not even had it 2 years. I can't seem to give it away.

On a good note - anyone following my Truck issue - DCX ended up buying back my 2003 Dodge and I now have a new
2004 2500 Quad Cab 4x4 long bed with the Diesel 600. I picked up the new one March 2nd and will be getting a hitch
and brake box this week. Took quite a lot of persistance and
patience (not to mention e-mailing the VP of Great Lakes
Business Center of DaimlerChrysler) every other day. The
released me from my lease, paid me for the hitch and brake
box in the old one and I BOUGHT the new one. Hopefull this
one will do the job.

Thanks to all

I went with a TC35 and use it in my landscape business. So far, I have 450 hours on it, and love it. Most times it has all the power I need, but there have been a few times I've wanted more. As for your question about the disc, I bought an older Allis Chalmers 10 ft pull type disc and pulled it with no problem (with my R4 tires). With the gangs set at medium angle I could pull it in High range 1st gear and with the gangs set at max angle I ran it it medium range 4th gear. This was in a corn field that had not been worked yet. I also have a 2-16 plow that I use to plow gardens with. When using the plow, I must admit that I would like to have the R1 tires though. For everything else I'm happy with the R4's. I also have the 16LA loader with the 72 inch heavy duty bucket with quick disconnect and it works well.

Thanks! WHat is recomended for ballast? I will be expanding my driveway and laying down some new gravel. Probaly a couple of dump truck loads. Ballast box? or something handier like a large box scraper?

Also for moving gravel do you find a box scraper or rear blade works best? Any recomended brands??

In Canada Frontiers (rear blades) go for a 1g note. Another brand (starts with a W.... (wagg???) only $400. What the diff?

Thanks

I forgot that JD does publish ballast requirements and following them makes for relatively safe conservative operations. It doesn't make a tractor bombproof though--not that anybody here is suggesting it does. I think wheel weight is better than 3ph weight at lowering CG, which is better at improving general stability--especially on side slopes.

Ultimately there isn't any substitute for experience and manufacturer procedures should keep people relatively safe until their judgments are more educated. I wish I had some 'requirements' in a manual when I first got my tractor because I was definitely nose heavy at times till I got better sense of the tractor. For myself, I get by without a ballast box and rely on an oversized box scraper. If I had doubts about stability I could strap sandbags on the scraper. Not a recommendation but I'm inclined to go that way because I tend to use both the scraper and the loader in much of the landscaping work I do.

You are missing our points also. I remember running backhoes back in the early 70's and seeing a Kubota, everyone, me included, laughed at them.. The question of the day was how long will this Japanese junk hang around? Kubota has done a superb job of designing tractors, selling them, not much in warranty work and so on. They also spent tons of time and effort seeling resale values. Today, there are many tractor mfg out there. Kioti is just now coming in line like Kubota spent many years to accomplish.<br>
As far as Indian/Korean tractors, they are built just as well, perform as well if not better, and, will be around whether you like it or not. They too, will catch on like Kubota and Kioti and will have to start selling their resale values. Right now, mfg's are playing a nubmer game. Who can sell the most in any given fiscal year. The only problem I can see particularly with the Korean brand names will be the importer. Centruy/Branson/TYM/Mahindra 10 series and possibly others are all being inported in under these different names. I do see the possibility of Branson or Zetor=Century or TYM either dropping out or combining..<br>
There are only so many fish in the sea, and I cna see this scenario happening. Doesn't mean they are bad tractors and worthless. Remember, Kubota at one time was worthless too.
