Topic

In the course of our work (primarily building golf courses) this was a constant issue. We resolved it by means of a comprimise, each tractor carries an insulated water cooler, BUT, it is out of reach. It is mounted on the left fender, next to the ROPS, facing outwards, this way the operator must stop the unit and get off to have a drink. This is not as much of problem as it may seem, experience has proven that about the time an operator needs a drink of water, they are...well, finished, with the last drink...LOL...This way water is available when desired, without the concerns of distraction, etc. While this may not be a perfect answer for the average user, I find it hard to believe that the 'average user' has so much work to do that they can't stop for a drink before it's done either. Then again, if we're getting cup-holders now, maybe I can suggest to Kubota that they offer a washroom in the cabs on upcoming models, after all I do have several women operators now...and maybe a microwave would fit up there next to the radio...a TV would probably solve the 'Bob Villa' or yard-work question...and hey, a wait a minute...a phone & laptop would allow me to check the CTB while I get few hours in on the yard-work....Yeah, ok....LOL

I am currently caught between the idea of buying a JD 790 or a Kubota L2500. Both with loader..I can get the price within $500 of each other. I will be mowing 5 acres with some light loader work. Any suggestions??

About 30 yrs. ago the initial foray into 4 wheel-drive farm tractors was with"front wheel hydraulic assist".When the going got tough, say with a plow, the front-wheel assist would peter out as you would try to raise the plow to lighten the load. Of course this was exactly when you needed all 4 wheels working for you the most. Mechanical front wheel drive (MFWD) was introduced to get around that short coming. I would be interested if there were also longevity/reliability issue.

I am finding that very hard to visualize, Murph. I wonder if we could set up some sort of experiment with glass beakers or something so that we could watch this happening. Or maybe some hydraulics shop has a demonstration rig.

I am considering the purchase of a Long Landtrac 280 from my usual equipment dealer. The machine will be used for general work around a 10 acre property. My question is simple. Being new to this, what other machines should I consider, given they would have to be much better to overcome my loyalty to my dealer? Tim

The price difference between a B2410 and B7500 is about $2,000. However, other than 2hp, the only major difference is the position control on the 2410. Is this worth the 2,000 for the average non-commercial user???? Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help everyone. I finally had to take the gear box(mule drive) and tractor to my local dealer Steffen Equipment(small but very adequate and is great for parts). They dimantled the drive tourched the PTO shaft and sleeve and finally broke it loose. Long story short the gearbox was rebuilt and the PTO shaft on the tractor was replaced. The dealer I bought this from gave me a satisfaction guarantee (on a 1984 850JD) and delivered the unit over 130 miles. Mark Puriton of Barton county implement (www.bartoncountyimpl.com) in Lockwood and Lamar Missouri agreed to help me with the cost of the repairs. I'm a true JD person, but I feel it's your dealer (in my case dealers that make a difference.

Last August I bought a Land Pride 1572 finish mower. I put about 10 hours on it. This spring I mowed for another hour & all was in order. 2 days later I noticed a lot of gear case oil all over the deck. I could see that the bearing had spun as it was cocked in its housing. I took it back to the dealer to get fixed and when I picked it up the charge was $0. The dealer told me that Land Pride did the fix on warranty, no questions asked.<br>That is a great way to build a loyal customer base and we all want to know who the good manuafactures are. When I need my next implement, if Land Pride makes it, I am buying it from them!

See if you can locate an independent operator with a good sized back hoe and dump truck. He can dig the dirt out with the back hoe, load it in the truck with the loader, and haul it to the location of your choice (or just off). If you have your stuff together he can dig any necessary footings or utility trenches while he is on site. This is not a big job for a man with the right rig. m2c

Robert, I have a NH TC29D with a factory loader, Turf Tires and a Land Pride 6' finish deck on the 3 point. I mow 5 very hilly acres with a minimum of trees in the way. I got the tractor last August & now have about 60 hours on it. The only stupid thing I've found on the tractor are the brakes on the same side as the HST pedal. Makes it impossable to do right/left braking. However in mowing and loader work right/left braking is not an Issue. If I were row cultivating it would be an issue. One REAL smart thing is the foldable roll bar. Sometimes you need to put it in the garage (but only on your side), and none of them will fit w/the roll bars up.

I purchased a Suzue 150 4wd last year. I had to order a water pump for it, and got it from Homestead Tractor, 22311 Bear Valley Road, Apple Valley, CA 92308. Ph (760)240-1140. I was curious how you have been making out with your Suzue, and if you were able to get the parts you were looking for in your Jan. message... I have a little more info on these tractors that I came up with in my own research, if you are interested, and was wondering if you had come up with any other info.

Would the 2WD gear/diff box have excess wear due to the factors you mention? The more I think about it $6000 still might not be a deal.
