What guy? I don't have hatred for anyone here, I just detest spam. This post looked like spam to me because similar posts from unregistered users singing the praises of Tarheel Tractor pop up on a regular basis. I don't have anything against Tarheel, and I'm grateful for them advertising here, but I HATE SPAM. Stick around, you'll see the pattern.

BA, I think that eventually production will catch up with demand for steel and the prices will come back down. Now is a good time to be browsing dealers for "demo" implements. Fall is when a lot of dealers want to move aged inventory at least around my area. You might be able to come across a rake that has been used a few times for demo's and fairs for a good price. I have a Land Pride LR 1584 Landscaping Rake that I use for maintaining my drive way. Very heavy and solid built compared to the King Kutter and bargain brands at TSC and Rural King. The added weight of the rake (just under 400 lbs) makes for easier dragging and surface penetration. I can't say that the Land Pride is worth the extra premium in price though but they are a much better built quality rake. I find that I use my rake very occasionally and that a King Kutter or other cheaper rake would probably do just fine. I got a good deal on my rake at a dealer that was trying to clear out inventory in September otherwise I would have purchased a cheaper brand. The heavy use implements is what I would spend the extra money on.

I am a neewbie to tractors but after reading comments and experiences on this forum and others, I bought a used John Deere 1050 (80's) about a year ago which seemed to be in reasonable shape. I used it this year with a used bush hog and realized the 'right lift link' lever that allows leveling rear attachments (right to left) was not working.<br>
<br>
The local dealer says a new part is about $350, to fix is about $175. Is it possible to find used parts like this and where? Or, should I just go ahead and get it fixed? I don't really have the time (and maybe not knowledge) to fix it myself.<br>
<br>
Along the same lines, what repair manual do folks recommend? I see the I&T Repair Manuals available on-line. Are these good or would it be better to get a John Deere manual?

The center of gravity of the load in the bucket changes as it is curled out. The bucket cyliners at some point during the curl change from "causing" the dump to "slowing" the dump. As the center of gracity of the load in the bucket moves forward of the pivot pin, the load on the bucket cylinders reverse. The hydraulics at low engine rpms take a second to catch up. With a regenerative valve, this isn't as noticeable because the regen. circuit balances faster.

Hillslider:

Wow! Sounds like a good place to be moving FROM, at least as far as your Kubota dealer goes. So far, so good with mine, in Warrenton, Va. I brought up 50-hour service. His response was that they'd be more than happy to do it, but that there really wasn't any reason for me not to do myself. Of course, I didn't really have a time problem. Spread the job over several days, including getting materials together and tools organized, etc. Notice you're in West Virginia. You didn't happen to deal with either the Kubota guys in Winchester, Va., or Woodstock, Va. did you? I don't have any expereience with them, but would want to be forewarned if one of them was yours.

Did you happen to notice how many quarts your front axle took, assuming you did that when you cleaned up after the dealer?

I'm looking at Red line 85. I buy fuel 10 gal at a time. It might sit for 2-4 weeks. Since my last post I've purchaced the RL 85. From what I understand from the web site, (there are no instructions on the bottle, strange) I would add about 1 oz per 10 gal for maintanence.

Grinder, I've decided aganst steel on the ceiling to make for easier fume control and lower the noise potential. The plan now is to put paper back fiber glass roll between the rafters. I'll probably use flourescent for overall lighting and incondescant with shields for a spotlight effect. We've used this lighting system in the assembly room at the furniture plant for years and has been satisfactory. I'll keep you up to speed as things progress. Thanks for your intrest. Frank.

Ken - Your gonna love it! How many hours are on it? I have rented various brush bandit model chippers & they all work well. What are ya going to do with yor jinma chipper now?

12" chippers are big money so if ya got it for under 10K your doing well assuming it's in good condition. I would say in MHO More bark, Brush bandit & salsco are all top quality chippers.

Yes I did have a dozor come in and push a very large (10' wide section) swale thru the woods toward the farm field. After 4 years its hard to tell its there but if I did not do that I would of had water on the bottom of the house in the spring 2 years ago. I have the water running real good away from and around the house now but I need to make sure if I make any changes to the surrounding envirenment I keep my head out of my ass. Since I am on a slope (not too much but a slope anyway) I have the oportunity to direct water away. My new house will be 3 foot higher than this section with a set of french doors after a set of steps to get from my dog house to my wifes palace. Thanks for the info but I am still a bit sick to my stomach even after 4 years that it was not a foot or so higher. I can live with it just need to do a bit of creative landscape around the place. OOPS SOUNDS LIKE A NEW IMPLIMENT????????

Before the wagons started circling here, you asked "So far from what I gather, the 2420 is not equal as the YM2000 as far as horsepower?" I put together a few numbers and observations for your consideration. Because grey market Yanmar specs aren't consistent, please note that the weights are approximate and hp is rounded off.
Yanmar 2wd no ROPS/no seatbelt (not required on pre-1985 tractors)
YM1700 weighs about 1600#, has 20 engine hp and 17 PTO hp
YM2000 weighs about 1950#, has 24 engine hp and 20 PTO hp
FarmPro (Jinma) 4wd ROPS/seatbelt
FP2420 weighs 2425#, has 20 engine hp and 17 PTO hp
FP2425 weighs 2623#, has 25 engine hp and 21 PTO hp

After owning a 24 hp 2wd Yanmar, I felt confident a 25 hp 4wd Jinma would be adequate for my hillside pasture maintenance. I soon proved that assumption to be invalid. The Jinma has a much lower hp/weight ratio, thus needs more hp to motivate itself than does the Yanmar. The Yanmar mowed uphill without hesitation, the Jinma had to be dropped into low range to go up the same slope; very aggravating, and slowed mowing down considerably.

My personal rule(s) of thumb;
1. 4wd is always better than 2wd
2. too much hp is always better than not enough
3. when buying Chinese, add 20% more hp than you think you'll need (more for hillside work)
4. when buying Yanmar, buy US models before grey market (my old YM240 is the US version of the grey market YM2000)

Hope that helps

Thanks Bigpete. After a couple calls we're talking about 500 bucks. The local dealer might come off that much.
