Well, it turns out that the 855 was actually a 850 when it came in to the dealer. Gear drive. 800 hours and a much larger tractor than I realized.It had been left outside all of its life and looked pretty rough. I really want ( need ) something a little smaller. Perhaps a 755 would better suit my situation soo.. I'll just keep on looking. Thanks for all the usefull information. CHUCK

Local dealer sells International brand implements (box scraper, landscape rake, rotary cutter). I am unfamiliar with this brand, but they look sturdy enough to pull behind a NH35D. Anyone have any advice/comments for me??

2 years ago I had a 90 x 120 x 12 pond put in. It cost $3000 and was done in 3 days, (2 operators). D4 dozer, 20 ton excavator and a 2.5 yard JD loader. No way in hell could this have been done with a compact. We hit shale at 6 feet and several layers of silt stone between 6 and 12 feet. Impervious granite at 12 - 14 feet that would have required dynamite to get it any deeper. I did the final landscaping with a box scraper and york rake. Last year we added 150 rainbow trout and a fountain. This year I'm putting in a water fall and a dock for the paddle boat.

My manual for the 52 loader gives specs for the 655, 755, and 855 so I believe you will be all set. Sorry, I do not know the value, Good luck

Often, when I'm lining up the 3point to a piece of equipment, the pins ,clips and snap rings end up falling off the vibrating tractor into tall grass slowing the process down. You may have seen these stainless steel saucers with a rubber covered magnet on the bottom for mechanics to put small parts into that can be placed on any steel surface nearby as they work. The magetism is transmitted through the base and holds the pins etc even if the saucer is not entirely level. Cutting the rubber off the bottom of the magnet increases its "holding power". Placing this some where reachable on the back of the tractor has solved my problem of losing the hook-up parts. I only paid 3 bucks at a "liquidater/close-out place for it.

I've a 1910 FORD that has a plastic housing around the headlights on the front curve of the rear fender. For a cup-holder drill 4 or 5 holes about 1/4" through the top of the housing and epoxy glue PVC pipe fashioned cup-holder 3 or 4" in diameter with a cap end as a base that also has some shallow holes or grooves for the glue to hold on to. Drill some hole laterally at the bottom to let the rain out. As Kim Hartshorn says it will hold WD 40, keys etc.It's great for gloves.

Well I finally got the call from the dealer today. The service rep. tried the usaul bad fuel, fuel conditioner added helped a lot routine. I don't think so! The first call was early in the day and the second call from the service rep. said they had actually checked the glow plugs and they were o.k. Unfortunately the injectors were not o.k. and all three of them need to be replaced. I asked what could cause this problem becaue I really don't want to go through this again expecially after the warranty expires. I was advised that the injectors were probably defective from the beginning. Sadly the parts may not be available for a few days due to a factory backlog. At least the dealer did find and admit to the problem. I am not trying to cause a panic but if your JD4100 starts smoking excessively upon startup and the dealer tells you that is normal, you may want to revisit the issue with the dealer prior to warranty expiration. It is time to plant peas and onions here. Maybe the neighbor will loan me his tractor.

Miquel,I own a Bolens G214 which is a 4 wheel drive,22 horse,3cylinder deisel that is made by Iseki in 1986.It's identical to the same vintage White Field Boss 21 which is supported,parts-wise, by AGCO. I wonder if the G212 is the 2 wheel drive version. Garden-Way (Troy Built) brought out Bolens several years ago and also supports it, at least 4 years ago. Garden Way insists you go through thier dealers for parts and generally was a pain in the butt to deal with. Four years ago a water pump was $235 new.
The motor is made by Izusu and is the easiest starting smoothest running deisel small motor I've ever owned. The G214 is a gear transmission,with a creeper range that gives me 4 reverses and 12 forward speeds. It's equipted with an american heavy- duty loader with a rounded back on the bucket that make it a great grader with backing up.It has a back hoe,canadian made, with heavy undercarriage rails that is a honey. It runs off a PTO hyraulic pump. In 1989 I brought it for $8400 with an underbelly mower,3 point hitch gear and a factory kit for a front live electric PTO that I never installed since I leave the loader on. It only had 275 hours on it when I brought it; now it has 1200 hrs.I wish it had power steering-the next size up did. If the G212 is the 2 wheel version without a loader it would be less critical
I'd sell the front PTO kit and I think the mid-mount is available and never used (I traded it on a rear horizontal mower and the dealer was going to try to modify it as a front mounted mower but never got around to it)

All things considered this has been a great tractor for me and I'm impressed with Iseki.

On the 4100 the 3 point hitch is rated for 930# 24" behind link ends so if the backhoe is less than that you should be ok. One thing to remenber is you have to have a loader on the tractor to use a the backhoe.

I am looking to by a J.D. 4500 tractor with front loader and backhoe. Will get the 460 loader but am having a problem in selecting a hoe. Have looked at the JD 48 and the Woods 9000 hoes and the Woods hoe looks to be better made hoe. Does anyone have experience with the Woods 9000 hoe?

I recently purchased a Hinomoto E2302 2-wd Tractor with 400 hours. I know it is a 26 hp tractor but that is about all. If anyone knows what the American equivalent is, year range or any information I would appreciate it.

I looked at both of these machines. Two different dealers that carried both lines steered me toward the 790 over the L2500, for what it's worth.

Long has had a good reputation for reliable, no-frills utility tractors, but have had a history of financial problems. They have recently diversified and are currently trying to play with the big boys in the multinational agribusiness league. Time will tell if they can be successful. Here's my concern. They now market 3 different tractor lines, manufactured in 3 different countries: LongTrac (by UTB, Romania), LandTrac (by LG, Korea), and FarmTrac (by Escorts, India). While this may help them guarantee a supply of new tractors to their dealers in case of supply problems with any one of their oems, it seems to me they may have difficulty keeping up with such a diversity of parts and service information for every make and model over time. Like Sears, I expect Long's parts availability for tractors more than a few years old to be spotty, at best. I don't know what your expectations are, but unlike cars, tractors are usually long-term investments. For me, this means seeking out manufacturers with excellent reputations for long-term support, such as Deere, Kubota, New Holland, Massey-Ferguson, etc. I agree your relationship with the local dealer is important, but his ability to support your Long tractor is almost completely dependent on Long's ability to support him.
