Tom, I'm sure that you can. But that is a particularly nasty combination to learn on. If you have a tractor dealer within 50 miles or so then I'll bet he can tell you who the Ag tire mobile service is for the area. If you try them, you may never want to do it yourself again

Roger, I think you mis-read my message. I clearly said EXTREMELY difficult, I did not say impossible. Thanks for the lesson in geometry, and geometric physics, however, I covered all that in my second year of university. Now that I wear a steel pinky ring...........

May I suggest that you lengthen the tractor drawbar as much as safely possible. This will provide a pivot point farther to the rear of the tractors rear axle, thus requiring less turns of the steering wheel to make the trailer respond.
Or- How about drilling a hole in the center of your loader bucket, mounting a trailer hitch ball there to eliminate backing altogether when spotting your boat or trailer in tight places. This also eliminates messing with trailer jacks. Just lift, latch, go, drop.

We did a hook-up for electric trailer brakes about 5yrs ago on an F250 w/ the factory tow package installed. In that case all that was needed was a controler unit (about $90) that plugged into a pre-existing plug under the dash. That was it. There were also mounting holes already under the dash, again from the factory. This may not apply to your tow vehicle, but it may. Check on whether or not the vehicle has the tow package installed (this assumes you bought the vehicle used and were previously unaware that it may have already been wired for electric brakes). I realize you're probably way ahead of me on this so please disregard the post if not applicable to you.

I've been debating the 3pt vs sub-frame issue myself. The one that is most appealing to me is the backhoe mount system on the new 4000 series JD's. Steel plates are permanently mounted to the tractor. The three-point lift arms lift the backhoe onto the plates, were it drops into two slots and is then pinned. The backhoe is now "hard mounted" to the tractor. The three point hitch is only used to lift the hoe on and off the tractor.

John, I have a L4310 HST 4WD with about 50 hours. I have had no problems with the machine so far. The HST pedal is very easy to operate and I have not experienced any vibration in the pedal while the PTO is in use as listed earlier. I also have the LA681 loader. The controls require a light hand and allow precise control. I have the standard joy stick control that mounts to the right side of the loader. I have taken the loader off and reinstalled it once and it took about 5-10 mins. So far I have used a tiller, chipper, box blade, and a backhoe with no problems. I did not like Kubota’s placement of the hydraulic control valves mounted low down and to the right side of the seat. They would be hard to reach when looking over your shoulder so I went with my dealer’s recommendation and mounted the hydraulic control valves on the right fender. Not a very pretty setup but a very natural place for your arm and hand to lay on the valves. This allows fine adjustment of the 3PH under load such as a box blade. I am amazed at how precise you can be with the box scraper while finish grading. I have not had a need to use the steering brakes or the speed control.

I need a reality check. The prices that my local (CT) dealer is quoting are nowhere near anything posted here. After some negotiation, I just got the following quote: 4100 Hydro, R4's w/Calcium, 60" Deck, Loader, 54" Plow Blade, and all misc.mounting hardware...just over $19,000.

I'll face the steep driveway problem as well. The tractor and blower are waiting
for the first major snow fall.

Being able to change the top link on the fly does sound convenient, although I suppose that a tractor with draft control would solve the problem.

It may be my lack of experience, but I'm never too successful at changing the
bucket angle on the fly with my loader, and I'm not going backwards while looking over my shoulder. There's far fewer gouges in the driveway if I angle the bucket up a bit and float the boom.

I plan to angle the blower up enough so the skids will hit first anywhere on the
drive and depend on riding the lift control for up and down. Suppose I'll have
to go back to get any deeper pockets I leave with the loader.

Putting on a hydrolic top link sounds like a good idea if I ever get enough experience to operate such a thing without tearing up the drive or driving
into the ditch. Any tips on improving operating technique appreciated.

Low profile (wide) Turfs. Put light-duty chains on them front and rear for winter. You can leave the chains on for the entire winter season.

with a kubota backhoe you should never have to worry about your warrantee being vioded if something does happen during your three years of chassis warrantee. Woods would not pay a dime.

Good question! Sometimes it requires splicing together a couple of sets of old car chains. The advantage is that car chains are made to have this done to them with hand tools and common parts....whereas tractor chains are not so easy.
Around here tire chains used to be common items. Car and truck had a set. Then 4wd got popular and now used automotive chains are cheap to free. I just buy a few sets, get a couple of pairs of pliers, plus some splicing links at the hardware store, jack up the rear of the tractor, and mix and match parts until the chains fit like second skins. In a couple of hours I've got them done. This used to be a common automotive experience for anyone living in cold climates. Chains usually needed to be fitted to a particular car tire. Rarely if ever did a set fit properly "out of the box". If one tried to use a set that was even slightly too loose, they would eat up the tire in short order on the highway.....and I'm keeping them on the tractor for the winter season! So what I am doing is just extending the automotive knowledge to the turf tires.
BTW, the small chains for the new small diameter imported car tires work great for chains on the front turf tires on compact tractor tractors. I made up a little set of these for the Yanmar and although dinky, they turn the front turfs into real snow-eaters..................Roger
