Went for a ride out into farm country today, as I do when I get a chance. I came across a great tractor/implement dealer in the town of Clinton, Maine, as I have found out by the net, dairy capital of Maine. What beautiful country. Anyway, they have some nice used tractors, new and used equipment. Check them out if your looking for something, the prices look really good compared to all I've seen...farmerschoiceinc.com

great prices on equipment nice place too

I know this sounds simple, but over 20 yrs ago, I had a <br>
B-7200 HST....it kept heating up and the motor would stop.....I called the dealer out, and he said that it was nothing.......every time this happened, I would bleed the fuel system which took me about 10 to 15 minutes.....They told me it was in the fue system....and sure enough after I would bleed the system, it would start and run for about 30 more minutes while I was cutting......This was all in the summer....and it gets very hot here in the summer.......after about 6 weeks of this happening over and over again......I figured out that the motor was overheating and SEIZING-UP! it had time to cool off as I was bleeding the fuel system!....the fan belt appeared to be on tight, but was slipping and not turning the water pump enought to cool the engine!!!! They compression tested the motor and said it was in great shape....but I never trusted that mechanic again......I was the real reason I traded that tractor in on a new, at that time, B8200 HST....Which is now twenty years old.....SO CHECK AND REPLACE THAT BELT......

No offense taken. A few years ago, Montana didn't have a speed limit but ticketed on the basis of unsafe driving. That means the Highway Patrol could stop drivers for any number of reasons, including driving too fast for the conditions of the road.

I don't want to create confusion here. Walter's handles the CENTURY. The model I priced at Walters was the exact Century equivalent of the Branson 3510. Century has a better loader, no doubt about that. Other than that, identical tractors.

Century prices go up but not Branson prices

I an considering ordering a 55 and a 72 hp4x foton/futian with cabs and loaders. I am concerned they may not meet epa and get held up in customs. do they need epa? I am a mspts rep and go to China every year so I will probably go to the factory in Oct and check it out. has anyone done this?

I just traded in a B6100E (2wd) with 600 hours in very good running shape for $1800 toward a new L3130. The price on the new tractor was a very good one so this is probably a good base value in south Texas.

In April I had some estimates done for sveral projects around the house, mostly drainage projects and a footer for a wrap around porch. All requiring a backhoe. The total of all estimates was around $10,000.00. I decided to buy my own hoe for my TC33D and do the work myself. The hoe cost $4995.00, I just finished the 3rd of 4 projects yesterday with a total cost of about $5500.00 including hoe and materials. I still have to do the footer but at this time the hoe has already paid for itself. The estimate for the 3 projects completed was $6200.00. I also had alot of fun playing I mean working with the hoe.

Anyone have good or bad experience with this particular cutter-BH 278? For an 8'er it,s unusual in that it has 2 instead of three gearboxes(so it can be offset, but as I understand it doesn't have to be) My local BH dealer says he has never stocked or sold one...<br>
I'm also considering Rhino TW96, Bush Hog 3008 and JD MX8- any feedback on these?

Glad to hear the DK65 is working well, local dealer just got one in and I'm planning to go down there next week and check on it. Planning to get the DK65C with FEL, 7' cutter and 8' tiller. Probably get hay spear as well, but may wait and get an after-market item. Sure would appreciate any insights anyone may have that haven't been discussed on the forum.

Have you tried moving the lever to the down position and push them down by hand?

Many times new stuff is stiff. These are usually gravity operated and just need a little push.

Good Luck

In a ideal world the 2 would be perfect.

The new guy on the assembly line doesn't know which part bin to pull from.

Parts ran out of stock on the correct dipstick and the stock room subistuted something close.

Someone in translations mixed up liters and qts.

Someone swapped them on the lot to be funny.

Check the lenght of the dip stick against the manfactures newest part listings for your model and serial #.

Over fill is very bad anywhere. Underfill is bad if you operate on slopes.

Go by the book or the dipstick

How many yards of mix do you have to do? Thinking about my back even with the loader I would not want to mess with anything more than 4 or so yards.

Just did a floor 22 yards with 8 good intentioned men, not many with any experience or they would not have volunteered, it was just about right for all the wheeling and screeding and doing stuff the hard way. A good contractor could have done it with 3

The tractor will be slow and you will get slop. You will have to have extra bodies for grunt work. How much extra is the concrete truck on an extended delivery?

A hour of pump time at $2.50 a minute sounds cheap and much easier on the back to me.

Good luck Harvey

I'd expect the Northern valves identified as PB types would have two return ports. Single return port types may or may not be PB rated, but I'd assume they aren't.

The PB issue has to do with how much pressure the exhaust oil galleys on single return types are designed to withstand. Operating a single return type opens the exhaust port to a line that goes to the input of a downstream valve. If the downstream valve (e.g. the 3ph) is in lift mode, the upstream valve exhaust galley sees the full working pressure. The return ports of many single return types are intended to go directly to the reservoir and high pressure can't be developed unless an obstruction were present. Two return port types separate the PB and cylinder exhaust flows.

A curiosity with single return types in PB applications is that if an upstream and downstream valve is operated at the same time, exhaust oil from the upstream valve moves the downstream cylinder, which may or may not be desirable. The working pressure is the total of both loads.

I think JD sometimes does have a languish of their own--sometimes it catches on and sometimes not. I have a JD manual that refers to a governor adjustment it calls 'speed droop.' I don't know how common the term 'speed droop' is.

Buy yourself a PTO hydro pump and hook your backhoe into the PTO pump. Hook your frontloader back up the way it is suppose to be run. Problem solved. running your backhoe off your loader requires special plumbing. PTO fix is a simpler solution.

I have a KR M03-60 rear finish mower and although all indications say it is made by Kioti, it is made in ITALY. I'm impressed with the mower, though. Very well made.

The new BX 2230 has a drink holder in the left fender now all I need is a place for a few tools! I like the idea of maybe a tool belt on the back on the seat or as Barnee recommends on the FEL. Kubota now needs to make a handy tool holder for a few basics.
