I want to thank all that responed to my original post. I don't have any type of hydraulic hookups installed on this tractor, so hooking up to a loader valve or power beyond isn't an option that I have. After looking in my service manual it seems as if I might beable to tap into the pressure side by unsrcewing a plug and just screw in the appropriate fitting, but I can't find anyway to tap into the return side. I don't know, maybe I am barking up the wrong tree. If that is so, I might just have to bite the bullet and buy a PTO pump and find a place to put a resevoir on the splitter.Richard <br>

I have a 3pt hitch hydraulic log splitter that I have put together. The only problem I have is that my 650 JD does not have hydraulic lines to hook into the splitter.<br>I can use a pto powered pump to run the splitter but I would rather use the quick disconnect lines and the tractor hydrualic system(Much cheaper). Tell if I am wrong, but all I need is a pressure line and a return line. How can I install these lines myself?Richard

The 3 point hitch is installed after removal of the backhoe so you can install other implements, ie plow, harrow, mower, etc. My backhoe is frame mounted and did not come with the 3 point hitch kit

sorry for the confusion

Locate the Micro-Mower web site by using a search engine. They make articulated arm mowers suitable for compact tractors. They use a flail mower head and I believe they may have some other options for cutting heads. Good luck.

This discussion of hyd. filters always fascinates me. Especially when people complain about OEM prices and try to save a few bucks by using aftermarket filters. I have several Kohler engines and always use Kohler oil filters. Why do I spend the extra money? Because I don't know that the other brands have the same relief pressure as the Kohler filters. Also, an extra 3 or 5 dollars is not important when compated to a $1500 gas Kohler engine. When hydro filters are involved this concern for a few dollars is even stranger. If your system needs a 10 micron filter, how do you know that the replacement isn't a 25 micron filter? Consider the cost of the hydro system and all of the parts involved. It seems to me that the assurance of the proper filter is the best peace of mind that you can have. This is one of the reasons I have mostly lost interest in the CTB. Seems like the advice is often in the "buyer beware" category.

Thanks for responding so quick. I'm still wondering if it would be a pain to push small and medium trees over with the backhoe? I wouldn't mind the work but would hate to spend an hour on each tree digging up roots. I watched the larger tractors pushing over trees when they cleared our house lot with ease. What can I expect from something like the JD4600 coupled with a 48 backhoe? Or what would the correct technique be for knocking down a tree? I don't mean to sound so stupid. I don't expect a small tracktor to compete with the big boys. I just have no knowledge on this subject.

Aaron,
I'm in the process of trying to finalize pricing on a TC33D4 and the price you got on the TC40D is pretty good comparatively. So far I'm in for about $17,300.00 for the machine plus ,FEL w/68" bucket,Turf tires (loaded) and deliverd. Taxes not included. I think you got a lot of machine for the money. It seems the pricing is more competitive as you move west.

Michigander,
I am between Ann Arbor and Dexter in Southeast MI. I wonder if I could go work in the Boomer factory in GA and take home a peice at a time. Didn't Johnny Cash write a song about that? It probably is a good time to checkout the "RED" Boomer. At least the Boomer's primary drive train components are still being made in Japan by Shiboura(spelling?) and shipped to the Boomers factory in GA.
I think the problem is me, I'm struggling with spending that much money. Every tractor I have owned has been purchased used and no sales tax. Cripes, the tax alone is $1000.00 on top of the purchase price. Unfortunately the used machines are hard to come by and right up there in price anyway. Hey this is starting to sound like a Dear Abbey letter. I think I'll go walk it off!

Danny, yes I would be interested. I was pretty sure that there was some type of resister that could be used. Are these resisters easy to install? What would I ask when talking to the auto store? Thanks Rich.

Henry..What is your geographic location? That sure was a heck of a price for that combo. I wonder if it's worth trying to find a buy no matter where and then have it shipped?

John, Go t to the JD website and you will find that there is a promotional sale on the 790 until Jan. for $10,995.00. I am not that familiar with how good this model is so it may not be such a good deal. I'm looking also and am frankly confused.

Mr.ggman, I'm in the same predicament as you were. What did you finally do. I'm trying to find a reason to go to N.H., J.D., or Cub. I noticed J.D. has a promo on the 790 for $10,995.00 until the end of the month. I'm getting quite confused with pricing, options and just plain performance. Your feedback would be considered sage advice in this case. If you you purchased the Cub, I'm curious if you are still happy. I am leaning in that direction myself. Richard Mendel

Rodger, did I understand your prior post that spoke of changing the transmission fluid each year? If so, are you using a synthetic UDT or the stuff that Kubota sells? I checked out the specs on the L3000 and it takes almost eight gallons of UDT. Also, how many hours are you putting on the machine in a year? Thanks, I am just trying to strike a balance between proper maintenance and 'total cost of ownership'

DFB, what about the skid plates? I would think that they would cause the snow to get stuck on the back of the blade.

I thought that I read on one of these boards that replacing the bucket with a plow blade could damage the FEL by putting uneven stress on the FEL arms? What is your take on this? Rich.
