I checked my TC45 last night and one of my fan blades is broke in half and the others have black on the tips from the shroud. I think my waranty was up 2 months ago so I'll have to see what the dealer says.

I don't know what shipping would cost, but I just purchased a Perkins trailer here in the Houston, Tx. area. I got a 16' tandem, 7000lbs., pipe top, bulldog hitch, electric brakes, brake-away kit, treated lumber, 5' slide in ramps, 4" wrapped tongue, diamond plate tear-drop fenders, new tires with silver mod. wheels, new spare tire with silver mod. wheels and mount, and painted John Deere green for $1439.00.

Perkins is only one of two manufactures in this area that offers a lifetime warranty on the frame of the trailer. Iron Hores is another, but they do a very poor paint job on the trailer. Not to mention, they paint the trailer after the boards are in placed. Overspray gets all over the boards and looks cheap. Perkins does not place the boards on the trailer until it has been painted with two coats of industrial paint. They make a very nice trailer. I have received numerous compliments.

If you are looking at a trailer that has only a one year warranty, look at the welding underneath the trailer. Make sure that every edge is welded completely. If not, you may have problems later. I looked at a Road Master Trailer and noticed the underneath of the trailer was not welded very good. This trailer only had a one year warranty. I even questioned the salesman about the welds and he could not answer why the underneath was not welded.

Thanks for the suggestion. I had already spoke with my dealer and he advised that a 4' box scraper would be better than a 5'. I will go with the 4' instead.

Thanks again,

What region do you live in? I am looking for a JD 2210 and I live in Texas. I was quoted $12,800 for the tractor, 54" mid-mower, loader, and box blade.

I am also having a difficult time deciding between the two tractors. I have received quotes of $12,800 for the JD 2210 with loader, 54" mower, and box blade. I received a quote of $12,525 for the Kubota BX-2200 with the same implements. Is that a good deal on either or both?

Could someone please help me with some info about this tractor. Mainly interested in determining value. It's kinda ugly green but runs good. Good tread on ag tires. Newly rebuilt starter, new hyd pump, new bat. Has loader and back blade and Lucknow snowblower. It was gifted to me and I would like to sell it. I don't have numbers for it now but could get them. Thanks.

This is a tuff question to answer without knowing more about the condition of the lots that you are going to be seeding. Where I am from, the profit does not come from the actual seeding of the lots. The money is made from forming the lots into something. When I go into a new construction lot they are usually messed up from all the construction traffic and need to be shaped so that water runs away from the house and does not stand anywhere on the lot. The seeding I do is with a quick germinating rye grass that comes in quick to hold the dirt that I have moved and shaped. This grass will burn out in our harsh summers but does well in the fall, winter and spring. However, it is understood around here what the purpose of this seed is for.

Around here it is a different business to establish the lawn. This is something that someone comes in and does after I have prepared the seed bed for them. I usually get between 500 and 2000 to convert a piece of land into something that will stand, without water, on its own. It just depends on how much bulldozer work has to be done to shape it.

If you are looking at just doing the seeding, you need to make sure that you know all about soil conditions and types and how to amend them if necessary to make grass grow green and full. But, like I said before, this is a specialty all within its self if you are doing it commercially

I am considering purchasing a Woods TPR 7200 power rake for my business. I am sold on the theory of a power rake and what it can and can not do for me but now have to decide on a brand. There is a Woods dealer close by which is a plus for getting parts and service. However I have no experience with the Woods line of products and would like some impute about the product from people who have used them. <br>
<br>
How does Woods compare to others such as Landpride and Harley? This will be a make or break investment for me after a long and WET winter so any impute is welcome and appreciated.<br>

Thanks. I just did an oil change on Sat, using regular 10w-30, though if they predict real cold again, I will put in the synthetic. Thanks for the info.

Can a sub-frame be added to a bx1800?
If not,I guess I should really think twice before putting a light duty backhoe on my bx1800....

I just saw a belly mower for an atv - yes I said belly mower for an atv. It is also made by swisher. I saw it in a northern tool and equipment catalog. It has its own 16 hp kawasaki motor which sticks out the back. It has a 58" cut.

Sounds good, get the tractor. Last year I bought a JD 970, 4wd with FEL (964 hrs), 6' JD finish mower, 6' JD brush mower, 48" JD commercial tiller, box, straight blade, rake, and auger. Asking price $12,500 as part of estate. Bought for $11,500.

I have been really happy with the tractor. I use it in my landscaping business and besides two minor hydro leaks on the loader, have had no problems. A lot of bang for the buck.

You will never say to yourself - I wish I had... - if you already have more than you need. And trust me, you will find more and more things to do with your machine. A couple of more bucks now will be worth the cost in the future.

When to buy a real tractor

A good rule of thumb is this: Figure on 3-6 hp per foot of width when considering an implement. Consider what type of tires you are using on the tractor. Is the tractor 2wd or 4wd? Soil type, condition and how aggressive you are with the implement will also come into play.

A wider implement will aid in leveling over larger areas but could hamper you around trees, building and confined areas. Be sure and match the lift capacity of your 3pt hitch to the Gill implement.

Hope this helps.

I have heard different opinions on power rakes from two people. Are they worth the expense? I do final grade work on new construction and septic repair grade.

Any information would be helpful.
