AV8R, thanks for the response, those were the kind of things I wanted to know before I did something I'd regret later. I know several folks who own and operate their own semi's with either lowboys for eqipment or grain trailers. Maybe buy a couple of them breakfast some morning and get their thoughts. Frank.

Tom, thanks for the helpful info. Does the Kubota box scraper have a rear blade?

The clutch on a 950 is fairly simple to do. Depending on how old it is, you could have a single stage clutch or a dual stage. There are a couple of special tools involved for adjusting the fingers and for aligning the clutch disks. If it is a dual stage clutch, the parts are pretty expensive from the dealer. There are probably some aftermarket parts available but I don't know if the quality would be as good. If you need to replace the entire clutch assembly, be prepared for over $1500.00 at the dealer for parts. Keep this in mind when negotiating the price of the tractor. Good Luck!!

If you don't take the time to learn how to operate it, any piece of equipment can be problematic. The more of your rantings I read, the more convinced I am that you'd have problems operating a crowbar.

Dutch74, there are now so many zerk sizes that only God would know for sure. Yes there are drive in and metric zerks. In the good ole days 99% of all zerks were 1/8 inch pipe thread. If you can get the broken one out without destroying it take both stubs along to a farm supply store and find the ones that match. If you have to destroy the one surely your dealers parts book or tech manual would show the correct size. Frank.

Belimki and Dave, Thanks for the compliment on the weight bracket. There are 14 of those little Deere front end weights for the 4000 series. I think they weigh about 45 lbs. plus the weight of the bracket. Weights and the bracket combined are roughly 670 lbs. I just got the box and pan brake set up and really haven't had time to try it out yet. My next project is belly mount hydraulic system running off the mid PTO to operate orbit motors on grain bins. I plan to make a fluid resorvor kind of shaped to fit under the tractor out of sheet steel, so that should give me a test to see if I have any idea how to operate the brake. Frank.

I agree with you, but with it only being 20' long why not go to atleast 2x8? The added cost is nothing compared to the storm of the century that will come after you build?
The more room for insulation down the road the better.
I would figure it out (cost wise) and procede from there. Personelly, if adding $200 to the cost will be a problem, I would wait. The roof is one of the first things you see when looking at your place. my .02

What is a clodbuster? A auction I am going to on friday states they have a cultipacker but when I talked to the owner he say's the auction comp. made a mistake, he said it actually is more like a clod buster? Said its 8' long and around 500 pounds give or take. I only found one pick of one on the net. Was wondering if there are different versions or interpretaions of a clodbuster over the years?<br>

Any help would be greatly appreciated<br>

Happened to be surfing and found this little item from Carver Equipment Co. that pretty much states, Kubota frowns very seriously on selling tractors over the net. Here is the URL to read the policy that was apparently issued back in March 2004. Kubota requires a face to face deal. Get your details here --- http://carverequipment.com/kubota.htm

The HP is closer than it sounds. The 4115 is rated with 20 PTO HP and the 7800/2910 has 22 PTO HP.

I would have been happy with either color. I bought the first TLB package I could find in this class and ended up with green.

It isn't a good idea to store you machine with load on the hydraulics. This will lead to pre-mature wear on the cylinder seals, and also leaving the cylinders extended means the shaft is exposed to the atmosphere. It is best to have the shaft stored in the cylinder body so it is in the fluid. Some leak down is normal. The mower is lifted by the three point, so it is the three point circuit that is leaking down. I have never left mine up with any implements attached, so I couldn't compare to mine. I do know that it doesn't take long to leak down even during operation. Dropping 4 or 5 inches over night is probably nothing to be concerned with.

Yooper, thanks for the update on where the name comes from. I think "Bad River" is a great name from a marketing perspective, very catchy! Plus there is a touching story that goes along with it. I will wear the hat with pride. :)

Another suggestion or question is whether or not the lift arm anti-sway bar turn buckles are tighten too tight, not allowing the arms to spread far enough.

I blame R4s for rolling my tractor. In our clay soil they slip and slide wet OR dry. One day they plugged with clay, became slicks, and after a long sordid ordeal I ended up rolling my tractor. See my pics and the archived threads "I hate my R4s" and "I hate my R4s part II". Since the R4s were replaced with R1 ag tires traction is 1000 percent better. R4s are a compromise, and like most compromises they don't excel at anything. But they won't tear up your turf as much.
