Woods 14,355 bts. (KK L-60-60-HD,is the right comparison 60 hp gear box) That is where I was saying you need to compare apples/apples.
Understood, KK is not John Deere and never will be, Looks like the HD model on some of the other brands are closer to the standard JD models. From what I have heard from all of you here, JD makes a awesome cutter and it sounds like nobody that has one is disapointed, money well spent.

Hey, did you find one of those goofy tillers yet? I think a friend of mine in Texas has one, He also has one of those tractors with a gear box converter so the darn thing is made into a regular PTO! If you are in the Houston area I can refer you to him, if you aren't it'd probably be a waste of your time otherwise.

I built a 3000 sq. ft. utility building 150' from the house. I am located out in the county but the electric utility is city owned and easy to work with. This is what they came up with: a 300amp meter base that has two lugs for each conductor; underground service from service pole; the meter base is on the utility building with feed through the wall to 200 amp service/lighting panel; exterior connection to 200 amp "mobile home" service panel with 8 breaker spaces and 200 amp lugs fed through. Right now I have two meters, the one on the utility building and one with an aerial drop to the house. In the near future I will go underground to the house from the external panel to the house and remove the aerial drop and meter base and have only the single meter. Since we are in the county there is no inspection required beyond what has already ben done and I am doing all the work myself.

I sat in the 4630 last year and it's cab is well designed, well built and if I had to have a cab tractor, I wouldn't mind Kubota's factory set up at all. I agree that Kioti's is just as nice, also..

My 1710 reads full hot when the ignition switch is off. One time I started it, gave it a short warm up, looked down and the gauge read full hot--I freaked.

I gave it a controlled shut down. Waited a bit and then turned it on. The gauge read cold and the tractor warmed up normally. With a bit of checking later in the day I figured out that the wiring was intermittent. Cleaning the sender and the fuse holder contacts fixed it up (I don't know which was the problem) and it hasn't reoccurred in five years. The thermostat did start sticking partially open between then and now and I noticed it wasn't coming up into the normal range except under heavy work. Sender units are pretty reliable but an ohm reading can be taken when the tractor is cold and again when it's hot to see if it changes.

We had a large debate about this a ways back. I would use the search and read through the old thread.
The answer is depends? What applications you are going to use the tractor for.
Concerning maintenance the hydro requires you to change the oil and filters like any transmission and requires more oil. The shuttle or standard will require a clutch over time.

This is sort of a generic procedure since I don't know the BX wiring. First I'd ensure that the proper size bulbs are in the flashers and nothing is connected to the circuit.

Then I'd disconnect the wiring from the switch to the flashers (it's underneath the fenders on my Ford). I'd then turn on the ignition switch and flashers to see if the fuse blows. If it doesn't blow, I'd remove the bulbs and test for continuity between the wire to each flasher and ground. There shouldn't be continuity and it sort of identifies the problem if there is.

If the fuse continues to blow with the flashers disconnected then the problem is ahead of where the wires were disconnected. With the ignition and flasher switches off, There shouldn't be continuity between either wire feeding the flashers and ground. If there is that identifies the problem but the wiring would have to be traced back to the flasher switch.

If those ideas don't find it there are other possibilities such as the flasher switch or the fuse holder.

Thanks Beagle. I live in Aus. and I think that there are similiar kits available here but I will persevere with fabricating it myself. The support bracket for the trencher will interfere with any stock kit. The trencher is easy enough to take off, but the re-enforcement bracket is a different matter.

If your iMatch is attached like mine you just need to remove three big cotter pins, pull the three pins out that attach the iMatch to the three links and it just falls off. Watch your toes!

If you want some practice with a wrench, you may want to consider the Chinese tractors; the JinmaFarmproNortracFarmcat, etc. gets mixed reviews. Some like them, some don't. They cetainly are cheaper in most every way. Browse the board on this site. Like the other boards, it has some good information about the chinese tractors on it.

I converted my fireplace to propane, when the wife wants a fire I just sit in my chair push the button on the remote an instant fire. Warm, clean and no hassle I wish I had done this years ago. needless to say no more wood piles to deal with.

Your JD790 should pull a single bottom plow with R-4's without a problem. I have a little trouble with mine equipped turf tires when plowing quite deep. My combined gardens are about an acre or so.

A moldboard plow is lots cheaper than a tiller and is kinda old technology. Its intent was to turn the soil such that the debris on top would be turned down under to decay and turn into natural fertilizer. It is faster than a tiller in wide open spaces but doesn't provide a smooth top surface with fine soil particles.

A tiller can also break up new soil but breaks everything into very fine particles.

You can go either way. I have both items.

I like to plow under my corn stalks, rotten tomatoes and pumpkins in the fall. It makes good fertilizer. In the spring, I like the tiller to make fine soil particles getting ready for planting. If the plots are small, I may use my walk behind tiller for spring planting.

Depending upon the plot size, I may go either way to break up sod for a new plot.

I prefer the tiller for redoing my lawn by not setting it very deep and just mulching/ grinding the sod and soil together.

I have a B6100E and if I remember correctly it requires about 3-1/2 qts. On a fuel filter change, turn the fuel valve off, clean it out, reinstall and bleed at the filter. There are two bleed screws on the filter body. You should not need to do any further bleeding. If you run out of fuel it will need more bleeding but I have never had to bleed the injectors.I have not needed to change my filter in the last year so my memory may be a little off. If you need more info, I would have to pull my manuals.
