The transmission on my 4300 has a plate from Funk Manufacturing, in Kansas.
The engine is of course, a Yanmar.

ROGER L, in fact the Oliver uses spring teeth, two nestled together so they are stiffer than on a harrow. As you say sounds very similar.

I have an International 234 compact tractor. These tractors are fairly light and seem to run out of traction long before horsepower. I looked for cast iron rear wheel weights but could not find any used ones (new ones would be too costly). I made rear wheel weights from cement. My rear wheels are solid center with holes to bolt on cast weights. Here's what I did.

1. Installed three anchor bolts through the hubs with the ends that get cemented in facing out.

2. I lined the hub with plastic sheet to keep the cement from sticking to the hub.

3. I made a ring to fit around the hub (where it meets the tire) from aluminum roof flashing. This was about 6 inches high. Since the wheel would fill with cement before I had enough weight it was necessary to have the cement stick out past the wheel thus the 6 inch high ring.

4. Filled each wheel with 2 bags of cement .. total weight per wheel is about 160 pounds.

5. After the cement cured for a week I removed the nuts and washers from the inside of the wheel and removed the hardened cement weights.

6. I also used an anchor bolt set sideways so I could attach a eye bolt to lift the weights when mounting and dismounting.

These have been in use for 2 years with no problems. Total cost was $8.00 each.

For those on a budget hope this helps.

The price quoted for a new head sounds correct. Lowe's Tractor at (812)663-8928 should be able to supply you a reconditioned used head for half that price.

Chris,

Your Kubota quotes seem really high! I recently purchased an L3710 with a loader, (customized by adding an 8" carbide cutting edge), for less than $20K. Foldable ROPS and R4's. Sharon Springs Garage - Sharon Springs, NY.

I've had a Sear's 18HP lawn and garden tractor for 12+ years. No complaints. I use it to push snow and mow 5+ acres. Cannot seem to kill the damned thing.

I recently switched the snow plowing work to a L3710 Kubota w/ a 78" snow blower, but I will never mow the lawn with a 6000 pound tractor...

Say what you like about the lawn trash tractors - I'll keep mine until it dies.

Have had a reply from Kobuta Canada and they have given some good suggestion also. They suggest to increase the drag shoe and to add weight to the front. I will try this next spring and hope it works. Thanks for the help. Gerald

SteveL, I'm glad to hear of your L3010 arriving as promised. It's also good to hear of the great service by Steve Carver and company. I'm curious, what state do you reside in? Thanks and good luck. Stanley

Hi again! I was in a neighboring town yesterday, stopped at the JD dealership that supposedly specializes in the compacts and garden tractors. Asked him if he has heard anything lately about what JD is doing to fix the scuffing. He was not aware of any fix, no updates at all. I find this hard to believe that 2 dealers around me know nothing about any fixes for the scuffing! My dealer believed that mine was the only one with the problem, even though they have sold them to the golf courses recently! I have a feeling that this may be like pulling teeth to get something done!! The other dealer was going to call the main store (they have 3 dealerships) to see if they have heard anything and give me a call on Monday. Wondering what the answer is going to be........

I just purchased a Kubota L225 (730 hours, serial #13227) with an Allied 250 front loader and a new 6' Woods rear grading blade. I plan on using this tractor for maintaining my 800 ft gravel driveway. The purchase price was $5,300.00I have no prior experience with tractors and was hoping someone could help me with a few questions I have: Did I get ripped off or was the price fair?<br> What year was this tractor made?<br> How many of these tractors are around?<br> Are these decent tractors as far as durability and performance is<br> concerned?<br>

I have a shibaura tractor with 22" rear rims and am considering adding weight in the form of liquid ballast and/or cast weights. Can I purchase cast wheel weights for this rim? The rim has 4 square holes for this purpose but I do not know if there is standard bolt diameter for cast weights. Please advise.

Kioti has been in the US since the mid-late 80's although they've had some distribution problems, they are generally on par w/ the japs. I have bought and sold numerous used ones. I have 7 of my good customers who have been sucessful as dealers here in new england. The older models drive line is made mostly from
old Kubota tooling. and rumor has it they are supplying some replacement parts for older machines to Kubota. As of October 1, Kioti has severed ties w/LELY,
their most recent distributor and gone direct to their dealers making for a price advantage.

Hay, You are right about the 70 series. I recently moved 2500 miles across country. My wife tried to talk me into selling my 870 and buying a new tractor after the move. Since I wanted to stay green the only choice for a new one was the JD 4300 to replace my 870. I said forget it. She said --- we are NOT hauling that thing 2500 miles. Well I ended up hauling it 2500 miles to my new home since I was afraid I would never find another 870 to replace it---Glad I did now. Yes, the ultimate tractor would be a 70's series with a reliable hydro. But thats not going to happen. So for probably my lifetime I will stick to my trusty 870. regards Mike t.

It sounds to me like a fair price, as long as it's in very good conditon.
This summer I purchased a "96 JD755 with 404 hours, 4 wd, loader, turf tires, 3 point hitch, an roll bar. It cost me 12,400.00 It is in excellent condition.
you didnt state the year model it is but the hours are pretty close.
Its a great machine. I love the hydro trans.. The fact that the one you are looking at is 4wd, to me makes it much more valuable. You will need the 4 wd if you plan on doing things other than mowing grass.
good luck.... Ray
