I have a JD 4300 and would like to purchase a "street sweeper" type of attachement to run off my rear PTO. I would like something that uses a stiff bristle brush that could remove needles from cedar trees and other debri on about a mile of road leading to my house. Does anyone have any ideas of who makes such an implement and how I could get in touch with the manufacturer? Thanks, Dave

Gentlemen, Please forgive me. My mother taught me better. Let me introduce myself, my name is Vince as you know, I live in Northern Penna. and I'm a farmer "Want-a-be". Just not smart enough to be able to do it. So the best I can do is brush hog old pastures and do some wildlife habitat improvement. I found this site a little while back and have really enjoyed reading and benifiting from all of your experience. Thank you very much.

I believe that the Allied brand of tractor is another name plate put on the Chinese manufactured tractors. I have never owned one, but after reading compact tractor discussion boards religiously for the last 4 years, I would not dare buy one. Look on a few sites and say "Chinese tractor" and see what happens. My experience with them is limited to seeing one at the Louisville Farm Machinary show. There was a brand new China Diesel sitting there with a puddle of hydraulic fluid under it.

Scott,
The manu'f recommendation for 6 wheel weights or liquid in the tires, PLUS (X) lbs of weight in the ballast box is most likely due to the fact that they must allow for "every" user, thus a certain % margin of safety is factored in. I personally cannot say that I've ever needed 6 weights, plus ballast, but I'm sure some guy, somewhere does...
Larry,
Gotta remember to check what I paid. I'll let you know.

I loaned mine to a neighbor for a few of years and noticed that he kept it strapped to a tree with a couple of nylon tie down straps. Convenient and out

Hi Dana this blower that I have is made from an old silage blower you break the bales and throw into a hopper and the suction from this thing pulls in and than it comes out the hole in the top where they have installed a stove pipe adjustable elbow so you can spread left or right up or down you can also put on a piece of flexable drain pipe that is about 8" in diameter. I am going to do some more work on it. I will probably mount it on a trailer where you can load staw on back and have the blower on the front. I hope it will work I will use it alot. If you have more questions I will try to help. Maybe I can send a picture to you somtime but if you see a silage blower beside a silo it looks like that with a elbow on top instead of a pipe going to the top of the silo

If your 440 loader has the quick tach bucket(only requires removing 2 lynch pins) then you can use the same boom mounted attachment that go on the 420,430,460 loaders manufactured now. I know first hand because I built a loader mounted blade for my Dad's 440 loader last year and was pleasantly surprised when it mounted right up to my 420 loader this year. That mounting system, by the way, makes it VERY easy to build your own attachments cause it elimnates the need for precision alignment of the four pivot pins on conventional boom mounts.

Thank you everyone for your advice. I am now the proud new owner of a used JD 7 backhoe. Picked it up on Sunday. Based on all your comments, I would have been a fool not to buy it. Except for some required cleanup, it seems to work great. BTW, the hoe was located in Southern Mid-Michigan, near the Ohio border. Can't wait till Spring.....Thanks again!!!!

OOps. I've gotten a couple of emails asking if I use transmission oil in the engine...My comments must have been a bit on the confusing side. NO! I use engine oil in the engine (Shell Rotella T) and trans/hydro oil (JD HyGard 303) in the transmission. I guess I confused things when I mentioned that some manual transmissions have pressure oiling.
Yep, I believe in engine and transmission oil heaters and in long warmup times. Like the rest of us I simply believe in some oils. That there is not a shred of evidence to backup my belief doesn't bother me in the slightest... :-)

I have a JD4100 with 410 loader. I have the ballast box attached filled with sand. The manual says that I need 6 rear wheel weights in addition to the ballast box, at least that is how I read it. I plan on using the loader to remove snow for the winter and thought that the rear wheel weights would be enough ballast without the ballast box. The ballast box extends beyond the 3 pt. and is not desireable for tight spaces. I asked the dealership about buying wheel weights and they said they are 60 pounds each, don't recommend more than two per axle, and cost $95 each! I think the dealer or the manual made a mistake about how many weights you need on each wheel or maybe they are talking about different size wheel weights. Even if I could afford it, I refuse to spend $400 or $600 for wheel weights. Does anyone know what the cost of having the tires filled with liquid would be? Will the constant weight of liquid filled tires cause lawn damage? With wheel weights I can install and uninstall them as needed but liquid filled tires are there year around.

Thanks for the nice words ct. yank, It is a pleasure serving customers like you. As far as the p.t.o. pump question, it's good to know what the hydraulic output of the tractor your mounting the backhoe, the auxillary pump puts out 6 g.p.m. @ 540 r.p.m. Many of the newer tractor models have hydraulic output exceeding this and do not need the pump kit. New users will find it easy to control their backhoes at low engine speeds. Become familliar with the controls and allow yourself time to build up the coordination skills to run the backhoe smoothly before increasing engine speed. Whatever you do, do not practice near a building (speaking from experience). Keep in mind that whether or not you are using the tractor hydraulics, or the p.t.o. pump kit, as you increase engine speed, you increase the speed of the backhoe. C.T. Yank, you have a good Christmas, I am gald to see you are being productive at work these days (by reading C.T.B. and posting messages)

all the decisions, I think I have it narrowed down finally between two.
First definitly a hydro, wife thinks she'll be able to use it, and it feels much easier to drive.
Color????? Blue or orange.... Each have a couple of unique features, the orange loader can be dumped while lifting or lowering, b2710 has a 4cyl. The blue one has supersteer(3ft turning circle, no scuffing in loose gravel) and blue still has the blue oval employee discount about $1500+1000 rebate for tractor(700) and loader(300) plus great financing till the end of the world(dec. 31 1999) maybe...Just need the 1week test drives by all colors to be sure... Probably wouldn't need one after trying all the flavors, and wouldn't be as hungry.
The house is almost done and the decision will come soon, maybe by y2k.
