I know this an older thread, but to comment on the 790, I just got one a couple weeks ago. It has restored my faith in JD again. I got ripped off on my 455, but I have to say the 790 is just the opposite. I can't believe I own a JD 30hp machine with the loader, for under 15k. The only reason I would even consider the Kubota brand any more would be for their basic 7300 model to mow the grass. Specs. vs specs. you can't get a kubota under 15k with 30hp 4x4. The closet thing jumps you into a L35 which retails for 30k+.

If you can get along with the stick shift, and live without tilt wheel, this machine can't be beat for price or power. I looked at the 4100 sitting next to me in the dealers lot, and laugh to myself when comparing the size and price of these machines. The 790 should blows away Kubota and give the modest man a machine he can afford. You really get your monies worth with the 790.

I only have a rake, sub-soiler(which works great), rear scoop, and the 70 loader, and I am loving every second on this machine. Can't wait to plow some snow!

Tim my dealer called me today and told me that my tractor would be getting the new axle. He said that the axle would be aviable late Janurary, early February 2000, and would fix it as soon as he could. He also knows how picky of a person I am, and I also called him about twenty times about this problem, ask him to call John Deere and find out something, ask him to look at my lawn, and he did with a dealer rep. I would suggest that you call your dealer back and bitch some and demand an answer. Personally I would like to get my tractor fixed soon as possible, I`ll rest easier when its done.

The major componants, (engine, powertrain, etc.) are provided by the lowest bidder and can change every year or two. Not sure who actualy manufactures for Sears. In my experience, they seem to die on average after seven or eight years. We usually don't take them on trade at our J.D. dealership because of lack of resale value and high cost of making them saleable again.

Just like to reiterate some previous comments made regarding tractor selection and dealers...I just completed a pretty exhaustive study between the NH, JD and KB tractors. I was very impressed with the quality of all brands I looked at. However, based upon my needs I choose the JD4400. My decision was not based on one tractor brand being "better" than another-I think anyone who buys based on that kind of a simplistic reason is only doing themselves a disservice-but was instead based upon what options/features/etc. were most important to me. Regarding dealers, I am lucky to have multiple dealers in my immediate area for all three brands. I did notice some real differences however...not so much in the dealerships but in the salesmen. I does pay to look at different dealerships and talk to different salesmen, not only for price but also in what kind of relationship you'll be having with them in the future. In short, keep and open mind on brands, do your research, and feel comfortable with your salesman. Happy tractoring!

My local dealer told me that there is no option that will keep the hitch in the up position. As far as ballast is concerned. I used the money for the ballast box to go towards a rear blade and 6 front wieghts. I attach the blade and hang the weights on the blade frame when using the front loader. I get the use of the blade, the ballast and improved blade cutting depth for the same money. I needed the weights to keep the front end stable while using the 5' rotary cutter that I also have. The machine handles all of the above with ease.

You don't hear much about the 1700 because those older 2wd compact tractors are not nearly so popular as the 4wd. There is not a thing in the world wrong with the older 1500 and 1700s, but it helps if they are priced relative to the rest of the market. The one you are looking at is definitely at the high end..... And for the money you can buy much more tractor today. Those particular models of Yanmar were never sold new in the US, so they don't have that popularity either. By the way, they were mid 1970s models, not 1984.
Although you rarely see a 1700 priced that high, it wouldn't be hard to get that kind of money into any used Compact tractor. How does it start, run, and shift. Are the tires, brakes, clutch near new? Manuals? No oil or water leaks I hope... Nice paint job? Decals? A certain give-away as to how the owner approached repairs is if the wiring harness was taken off before painting or just painted along with everything else. Personally, when the wiring harness is painted I just walk away. I've been a mechanic too many years not to recognize what that means.............Roger L.

Gerard, I just went through the same decision you are trying to make. This is what I came up with. JD (4000 Series) High Priced lots of plastic and the power plant is a Yanmar on the other hand it a deere - a very good name. NH Boomer - its a joke, over grown lawn mower. Cub (7600 Series)- Built heavy and strong but powered by Mitsubishi - not detailed finished. Kubota 3410 HST - high priced and not green but its engineered extremely well and built to last and powered by Kubota. In my Decision JD is built to cheep (4000 Series only)- NH no way - Cub has not vested interest in the compact market (Totally Mitsubishi made unit with cub decals) and poor sales so far, they can walk away from this series any time they want. I was caught by that before when I bought a Bolens G1704 4WD (Iseki), a grat tractor but NO parts or service. I ended up with a Kubota L3410/Loader/Backhoe/Bush hog/Snow blower/blade - Yes, it cost a little bit more then the green, but it all designed correctly (I am Robotic engineer-So hopefully I know machines) and its all made to work together. Kubota is not a mismatch of components that they try to get to work together(JD) and it's not a subbrand that the "manufacture" can just walk away from when they want. Thats my two Cents.

YOu are probably correct in your front-mount suspisions. I have several Olathe products, blowers, vacuums & sweepers, all of their 3pth hitch equip. has the ability to be mounted rear 3pth, front 3pth, or in place of a front mount deck. Each configuration has a different mount (obviously) which shares a common harness on the implement itself. Any fabricating shop, or larger farm dealer, will be able to make or adapt a harness to put what you have on your machine. IMHO, (as a landscaper) you will be MUCH happier with the blower if you front-mount it, if you have ever spent much time snow-blowing, etc., you (& your neck muscles) will appreciate having your work in front of you instead of behind. Best of luck.

What ever tiller you buy make sure it's a reverse rotation (not a climber). Kubota tillers a very good tillers and hold up well. The blades can be changed easily as well. If you are serious and don't want to "play" get the rverse rotation. It will either pull up the ground or pull your tractor into the ground. The standard tillers "skip" along the top of the ground when it's hard. Expect to pay new around $3,200. Believe me, it's worth it.

I recently replaced a Ford 8N with a Hinomoto E21ps. I got the copy of the parts book in Japanese. Where can I learn more about the tractor - things like:<br>What is its horsepower? What is the capacity of the hydraulic system (I'm modifying a loader to fit)?When I couldn't get it out of differential lock, several of you helped me find the control lever. Thanks to all of you!Doug G

I recieved my new Kubota L3010 w/loader and backhoe from Carver Equipment on Monday 11-22-99, two days ahead of schedule. The machine arrived exactly as ordered with .9 hours on the meter. I had requested that the tractor be delivered wired for 4 extra lights. It arrived so, but without the lights. I met the semi flat bed at a local truck stop and transfered the tractor onto a rollback type flat bed. The truck driver was a hell of a nice guy who called me a few times while he was on the road to let me know where he was. he said he could have gotten rid of my tractor 100 times on the way out. The trip was 2700 miles. I have to say it was a pleasure doing business with Carver Equipment and Steve Carver. These people were very professional, informative, and genuine. I was a little reluctant at first to buy over the internet, hell, I called the local police to make sure that the business actually existed. The lady dispatched told me that she had been in Dunn, North Carolina for 20 years and that Carver was there when she arrived. Oh, the 4 extra lights, they were home when I arrived with my new tractor. UPS had brought them earlier in the day, Well I gotta go now, my new tractor is still running.<br>Sincerely,<br>Steve L

I have a B2100 and when engaging drive have similar trouble. Rocking in the seat or tapping the speed control works. It is not necessary to use the clutch except to engage the PTO. However, the use of the clutch while engaging the drive is recommended from a safety standpoint, especially if the cruise is engaged or speed control is not centered.
