AV8R,
Based on a recommendation I received here, I purchased the tooth bar from TractorSmart.com. Delevered to the door was $297.00. They were back-ordered at the time for about 2 weeks. I dealt with Ronnie. I think it made a big difference "scraping" some hard soil I have. The teeth are fairly sharp and can be taken off sharpening or replacement. Easy to install, I used a 1" drill bit(and some cutting oil)for the required hole on each side of the bucket.

I built a set of bucket forks for my 7800. I definitely had the same concern about the load at the lip of the bucket where the forks clamp on. My forks run the depth of the bucket with pads at the back edge to dump the uplift reaction into the vertical back of the bucket. At the leading edge, the forks actually clamp to a piece of 3"x3"x3/8" tube steel that runs the length of the front lip. The 3" tube steel spreads the reaction at the front of the fork across the lip to the bucket walls, eliminating any bending moment in the bucket lip. The tube takes all the bending and dumps in into the bucket walls.

The system works great. I have loaded the forks with 800lb bundles of fence posts, with no deflection at all in the bucket lip.

Besides that, just common sense as you said. The load is further in front of the tractor causing stability issues and amplifying the reactions to your bucket cylinders.

A tandem axle trailer is a must when moving this type of equipment. The weight distribition with a single axle trailer will cause some unsteady towing (wagging) at high speeds. Also, if the rear wheels are loaded, add another 300lbs to the total, which would also mess up the weight distribution with a single axle trailer.

I use a 16' tandem axle, 7500 lb gross, 5000 lb net trailer for my 7800. It tows a lot heavier than than the numbers would say it would. Get plenty of trailer, definitely with beakes. Just enough trailer won't be enough.

2nd that thought on the 4wd. Been there with 2wd, the difference is unbelievable and weel worth the extra $'s. especially if you plan to do any work with a FEL. The 4wd reaaly makes a difference on bite and traction.

As far aa comparing thw two tractors on pricing, there are several model options with the M4900. Make sure you are comparing tractors with similar features. The 4900 has several models to pick from, depending on your needs.

Sshuma, you will be MUCH HAPPIER with a set of forks that replace your bucket than with a set of forks that go on the bucket.

Been there. Done that. They are not that much more expensive.

Jerry,
I looked at the Kioti 3054 and the Kubota 3400. Like you said both were in the same price range. What sold me was the dealer. I ended up buying a 3130 Kubota which was a little more. But the dealership, service, parts was the deciding factor. However, I do have a friend who has Kioti, and it is a very reliable piece of equipment. Good Luck.

That was fast, didn't I just congratulate you on a new machine ?
I believe the trans. fill cap is just above the 3 point top link on the 3054 (may have a red cap)
I can't tell you the transmission oil capacity. My DK 35 holds around 11 1/2 Gallon so The 3054 should be a bit less than that.

Have a problem with a 420A that is making me old before my time (maybe not before my time but certainly older)<br>
<br>
I prime the fuel pump and it will crank and run for 6-8 minutes and then die out.<br>
<br>
I have cleaned/checked the fuel cut off valve, replaced the line to the 1st stage filter, cleaned both filters and replaced the second stage filter.<br>
<br>
it appears to be chocking for fuel but I can not locate the stoppage, if that's what it is.<br>
<br>
Hoping that someone else has had the problem and solved it.

NYS has been questioning values of cars and anything else that gets registered for many, many years...they got wise on to many valuable vehicles being declared with little value. Sorry to say Chief neither Clinton or Schummer had anything to do with it- its been in effect for sometime.

It is ironic that a tax is paid on such an item when new, and if ownership is transferred tax is paid again. Or when an estate tax is paid, but an IRA or annuity that was part of the total estate (which the tax was already paid) but they are not allowed to be kept intact as is, the law requires you to disperse in equal increments over a span of a few years or up to 20. Of course you get taxed on each increment that counts as income and you get taxed on that...
In simle terms they will not allow you to keep the inhertited IRA/annuity or any other tax shelter in tact as a whole...thats the biggest scam going, you get 4x's taxed..thats both the federal and state giving you the fist with a smile...just an example of lifes simple pleasures

Duc brings up a good point. The Midwest brand equipment is a great buy for the money. I purchased Land Pride due to a friend selling me the equipment at a substantial discount; otherwise I would have probably purchased something through Corriher or C&C. Land Pride and Frontier make great equipment but not always worth the substantially higher price in most cases in my opinion.

I agree, the large frame 20 series just released are too big for my needs. Sometimes even the mid-frame 4310 is a little tight in the woods. I have all the power I need, but like Tim Taylor more power is good :) Seriously, the only time I would have liked more power is with the backhoe when pulling stumps. Not a big deal, a few more bites and they always come out. I've never felt short of power for the MX-5, even when cutting thick patches of Scotch Broom.

It looks to be the same basic thing, maybe add some small wheels, as the TR3. Just like the TR3 also grossly overpriced for what you get.
