Got some info on the Brush Brute from JD dealer in Plattsburgh, NY. This is the unit that Ted described in an earlier post. It is basically a replacement for your bucket that consists of ~12" V-shaped teeth mounted on ~4" spacing. These look like serious teeth; manufacturer claims that trees up to 4" diameter can get pulled up roots and all (assuming you have enough hp, weight, and traction). I think the unit is made in Ontario by a company called D.D.Scissons Enterprises Limited; phone is (613)283-2082. BrushBrute comes in 4 models: BB52 is 52" wide for 20-40HP ($1325), BB76 is 76" wide for 30-75HP ($1595), BB54 is 54" wide heavy duty for 30-75HP ($1595), BB88 is 88" wide for 75HP+ ($1980). These prices were from Giroux Bros (518)561-3682. Sounds expensive, but this unit looks like it could do a lot of damage in a short time. Hope this helps.

Your right Ted, I stand corrected. I'll try again, although my delivery still may not match my thoughts.. First off, I'm not sure why we continue to compare gears & hydro's from the standpoint of BETTER or WORSE. When its more of a usage/task issue.. By no means am I putting my experience against your, but I do have a few hundred hours on BOTH styles to raise my brow in wonder of what has been said, and to the level it has been explained. Considering our HILLY yard is no less than 5 hours of solid mowing.. Plus another 4 1/2 hours of hard loader work to close a trench 3 weeks ago, almost immediately after mowing (Ate Lunch). I don't know what else to say..My doubt stems from never experiencing this problem..I admit it.. Maybe its that Canadian air or something.. :)

If that #7 is practically new, as you say and it is just a little dirty for 2700 - run, don't walk, to close that deal. I recently purchased a very well used one for 3750 which required work (fortunately, I purchased it from a reputable dealer and he ate some alot of it. Check for leaks at the hoses, the valves and the cylinders. Check particularly the tie rod seals on the side swing cylinders since a 10 year old machine has the older design cylinders (as did mine).

Baffled, baffled and more baffled......First I try to preload my filter and make a huge mess on my floor. Then some guys try to tell me to "dump out the excess" because of the highly absorbant filter will preload it. Now my question is----Does the pump "suck off" the oil that is in the "highly absorbant filter"? My common sense tells me this is impossible. Maybe a very small amount. Maybe it will draw off some oil fumes but not enough to make a difference. Is there tests to prove this? I have been installing my filters dry for over 30 yrs. and never had a problem. I have never had an engine failure and every engine I had out-lasted the car wrapped around it.

Yes, it is an 861. I was looking at the Owners Manual when I came up with 801, but the manual covers several models. Scott

For anyone that has been interested in the filter thread. After replacing my hydraulic filter for the 50 hr. maintenance with a Wix Filter I developed a terrible squall in the hydraulics. Well I stuck the factory filter back on to check to see if that would cure the problem. Well it did. Stuck the old one on and shazam! no more noise. From now on it's OEM when it comes to my tractor filters.Cliff

Would a 7' John Deere model 39 sicklebar mower work on a John Deere 4400 HST compact tractor. I just found out there is one in an auction tomarrow. It looks to be in very good shape, always kept inside. Also any idea on the value.
Thanks. Chris

Greg- I don't think respect has anything to do with mechanical objects. My equipment is expensive and requires care and maintenance. This I give it on a regular basis. "luck" was just a word I used, I don't really beleive that I'm lucky that my stuff runs good. Lucky is when you abuse and don't take care of the stuff and it still happens to function. The environment-we can make it or break it, let's make it. Your original comment on "whining" sorta lit my short fuse and I was a little tough on you. That was uncharitable of me. Later. bo

Thanks for the reply:
I thought I was running out of room to post a msg. and I don't think I was as clear as I should have been.
1. The battery is dead but we did jump start it and took it for a drive, drove good, no noise, or bad sounds, and it started rite up..
2. He said he bought it from the State Parks Dept.. it is set up with a Belly Mower, I think it had the links from the upper arms but not the center link or the lower lifting arms. My buddy and myself stood on the upper arme 500 lbs + and it did lift us with no problem. (not a good test I know but they did work).

I agree the deal is on the boarder, I guess thats why I was looking for any input.
Gonna think on this one a bit longer,,

Thanks Again

Try visiting a Cub Cadet Compact tractor Dealer. They work with Mitsu Tractors and may be able to provide/order a stock part.

Duane, Since the 4000 series now replaces the 70's attatchments are getting hard to come by.I have a 1070 with the 440 loader and I also needed a set of pallet forks.After contacting all the JD dealers in Eastern Canada and not finding any I began to look for a set of used forks off a lift truck. I found a set of 42in. ones and had a frame made up by the local welding shop.At the same time I brought in the loader bucket and had them make a quick attatch system like the new 4000's.I can now switch from the bucket to the forks in seconds single handed.The forks were $100.00 and the frame and quick attatch system another $250.00
This tractor also had a back hoe but was not included in the deal but the hydralic outlets are there and they are controled by a valve on the left side of the seat down near the four wheel drive lever.You could instal your grapple arm to work off this control.I am in the process of making one to use with the forks.Great way to pickup logs.
I tried both the three point log spliters and the totaly independent ones and bought a stand alone. I just found it more practical to set the splitter up near the open wood shed and the log pile. I saw the logs then split them and stack the wood in the shed for drying.
The most practical attatchment that I have is a winch that mounts on the three point and I use it in the winter to haul the trees that I cut down.This way the tractor stays on the road and with the 150ft. of cable I can snake out the trees on the snow.The logs stay clean and you don't damage the other trees by driving through them with the tractor.
Check the antifreeze and the engine oil viscosity -40 is damm cold!
Good luck with your new toy and play safe!
