Any Branson dealer worth his salt will know at least a little about the other Korean lines. TYM/Mahindra is a good tractor, fairly equivalent to the Branson/Century and the Kioti. I sell Branson's, but can't throw rocks at the other guys either.

Might be good to check the hydraulic screen, if it is partially clogged the cold fluid will have a harder time getting through to the pump. At the same time replace the fluid with new hy-trans (JD303 compatable universal hy-trans will do). If it is still slow, just be patient with it. If it is slow in the warm months, we have different issues to explore.

BeeFarmer, I've sure seen a lot of junk tillers for sale, especially on ebay. Most are what we would call parts tillers. On every load we get from Japan, we can almost count on them slipping in one or two rough tillers, but there are usually about a half dozen that look new. The rest are usually somewhere from good to very good. We import mostly F-series late model stuff so it makes sense that ours may be a little nicer than the dealers that focus on the older models. Due to shipping costs, purchasing tillers from a distance doesn't make sense though, so local shopping is a must.

I'll give the spray arc a try. I have a Miller 210 that I use co2/argon with, but I think it is 75% co2. I have an argon bottle for aluminum, so we will hook that up. Thanks for the info.

Pushing the limit....I hauled a Komatsu D31 (16K lbs) on my triple axle gooseneck and was right at 29,000 lbs GC. Seemed to do fine on the flats, and wasn't overloaded on any axle, but even with all the axles braking I wouldn't have wanted to make a panic stop. I think mine is rated at 19,500 GCWR and that is about right. If I keep it under 20k it runs cool and strong and stops well. Much over that and everything is maxed out. Not a smart thing to do...

Greg, I sold nearly a hundred 4x4 grey market Yanmars last year and have had no such problems. Most of them were the newer YM's and F-series. I do buy only real nice stuff from Japan, so maybe I have just been lucky so far. I have had a number of the front ends apart fixing seals and I can agree with your assessment concerning the needle bearings. If they get loose in there, it could be bad news.

Cletus, I have pulled some 3 foot diameter Oak and Walnut trres out with a baby excavator. I had a Kobelco 007, about 1700lbs with an 8hp diesel. It would dig about 4' deep. So we are talking about a small unit. It would take several hours to dig them out. More of a sport with a unit this size, yet it would have taken days with a shovel and pick. I would dig around the tree, then cut through the larger roots with an axe or chainsaw, then dig some more and so on. On a 12" Apricot tree, it took about 15 minutes. So from the perspective of pick and shovel, it will do fantastic. From the perspective of a 40HP CUT with hoe, it will be slow.

A rule of thumb we use for hardwood is that it dries one inch a year. If you take a 12" round and split it once, it will dry in 3 years (6" thick and drying from both sides). Split it twice and it will dry faster. We can actually beat that rate a bit as we get months of 90 degree and hotter (115 sometimes) heat with low humidity, so we can dry oak or almond in one season. Very dry wood burns real clean.

I sell grey market Yanmars and Iseki's and new Bransons ( I say this so you know I am not biased toward Kubota), but to be fair I will say that many of the large orchardist around here use the big Kubota's to run 10 to 14' flail mowers. They put on over 500 hrs a year and are quite proud of them. They seem to hold up well and have good resale value even with high hours.

Iseki's are great tractors. We sell them, along with Yanmars. The Yanmars tend to be a little more popular, but honestly I think the Iseki's are just as good. You will want a 4wd becuase of your terrain. One problem is that most if not all gray market tractors do not have roll over protection. If you have steep hils, this is a real concern. Whatever brand you buy, make sure you find a good honets dealer that will give you service after the sale.

rdunstan's idea is similar to what is used in our area, except we make it fit right on the loader arms instead of the bucket. When you are cleaing prunings off of hundreds of acres of Walnut orchards, this is what is used. Scores of farmers clearing thousands of acres of prunings know what works, at least in this application. I have built a smaller one for CUT use. It is simple and works well. It is best on flat surfaces as previously stated. They aren't made for clearing undergrowth or similar tasks.

Koyker does not have a kit for it. You probably will have to have the mounts fabricated. We run into this on quite a few Iseki models. It is a bit of an art get the geometry just right. Dave

I am a dealer and friend of Rick, the owner of Best Used. He is not now involved with the "reconditioned" tractors and absolutely does not deal with the vietnamese stuff. He and his associates buy nice clean low hour tractors from Japan. Each dealer then chooses how much service or reconditioning to do. At our business, we change all fluids and filters, most hoses and belts, and install a new battery and normally a seat. Then we go over the entire tractor looking for any problems, then install a loader. Finally we wax the body and paint the wheels and it is ready. Some do more or less, and you have to ask the dealer about that.

I'm not trying to sell you a tractor, I am in California so it would not be practical anyway.

I've sold a bunch of YM3110D's and they are a great tractor.
