Looked at a Woods 9000 back hoe mounted on a New Holland 2120 tractor with a sub-frame kit. My question is how easy is it to remove and reinstall hoe with this mounting system. Looks like where you have to line up frame to hoe when mounting is under tractor, can't see from seat, two man job? Hoe has lots of power and is smooth operating but want the ability to remove and reinstall by myself. Also was quoted a price of $6,900 for hoe with sub-frame installed. Plan to have this hoe mounted on a JD 4500 anybody with this setup already? Have also looked at JD 48 backhoe and biggest plus is the ease of mounting and removing hoe, hoe mounts tight to back of tractor, less overhand. Drawbacks are not all wear points have replacable bushings, one foot less reach, and a little less power than the Woods hoe. Any input from JD 48 hoe owners would be appreciated

Donald, its a TC35D HST, R4s, FWD, tilt/tele, folding ROPS, swivel seat, all controls are really well placed (including the foot pedals - hell especially the foot pedals - *Laughing*). Only option it does not have is the SuperSteer. It has all the bells and whistles. I can't wait to drive one.

Droz,
How big were your ponds and how deep did you go? I'm leaning towords hiring a dozer ( I assume one with a 6 way blade is necessary for the banking?)

Jeff, I also have a 855. I'm torn between the Woods 7500 and the JD model 7. I've posted on this subject before, but I still can't decide. JD hoe looks like it would be quickest on/off, closest to tractor, most secure mount, but also the highest price option and weakest performance. The Woods is cheaper, stronger digging, faster action (with PTO pump - do you have this?), better bucket, but I'm concerned about the stress on the PTO and tractor, and that the mount could become sloppy over time, and that it sits farther from the tractor (stability, manuverability). Have you considered the JD model 7? Thanks - Mike

Eric, I own a Hino E2304, the 4wd version of your tractor. The tractor is an equal to a MF 1030. Horsepower is actually 27 according to Massey....don't have my shop manual with me now or would be glad to help you out with more info. Be aware that just because it crosses to the Massey doesn't make parts cheaper. Example, I had to purchase a pto countershaft, Massey price $1000+, direct from Japan with shipping $50...go figure.

RCH You are right. I also sometimes lose lock pins but these are mostly lost while tillering or cultivating and are impossible to find in the field.

I guess it really depends on which engine and how old, doesn't it? The manual for my DR trimmer/mower with Briggs & Stratton engine specifies 30W detergent oil, and it's readily available. I use Quaker State and usually buy it at Wal-Mart. Just about the only thing I use non-detergent oil for is to put in the impact wrenches I repair/rebuild.

John Deere dealers should be on-line and have access to DTAC bulletins in which issues such as dash fogging, lawn-scuffing, etc. are listed and explained. It took my dealer a few mouse clicks and about two minutes to bring up several DTAC bulletins that were relevant to issues with my tractor.

Roger;
If your 855 has the cross member just forward and below where you place your feet the #52 loader will hookup fine. You will also need the dual selective control valve (dscv). My manuel says the loader is for the 7 & 855.
Specifications:
Rated lift Capacity (ASAE) 700 lb
Rated Breakout Capacity 1300 lb
Struck Capacity 54" bucket 6.54 ft to the 3rd power
Weight 445 lb

Used Loader in good condition is worth about $1k

A colleague of mine had a 4100 (with loader) with a 3pth auger on it for installing fence posts, deck footings, etc. With less than two seasons on the machine it broke in half in the middle of a job. It cost him a great deal of time and money to get the broken machine off the customers site (oil, hyd. fluid, etc., is a hazardous waste spill...) and to the dealer, who politely but firmly insisted that it was NOT a warranty claim. It seems that Deere was of the opinion that if the machine broke he MUST have been ABUSING it! He fought for weeks (while paying for a rental replacement) before finally hiring a lawyer to carry on the fight. After 2 months and a lawsuit being filed, Deere relented and fixed the machine, he drove it out of their yard and directly to the Orange store where he traded it. Bottom line... Beware of aluminum components they are not nearly as forgiving as good old cast-iron... Best of luck.

For what you have why not the BX kubota and then you don't need to worry about the overkill!

Terry, the holes you are talking about are crankase vents. The oil you see is condesation of oil vapours from the sump being blown out of the crankcase by the blow-by from the engine. Depending on the age, etc., of your machine it is normal, depending on the amount involved. Ususally the older the machine gets the worse the 'spitting' gets.

The International unit you mention is made by a company in Ohio. There isn't alot of difference between the quality of the economy attachment manufactures. They all use basically the same parts. If you compare gear boxes, they most all use the same gear boxes. Pto shafts are usually standard metric pto shafts. Bearings & belts are off the shelf items. There are minor differences in the products they produce. IH is one of the better companies from what I've seen of their products & I've looked at a lot of brands(I'm a dealer looking for most bang for the buck). Above the economy manufactures are the companies that have a name (Woods, landpride, Bush Hog). They have usually a better product(but not always)that costs more. For the home owner that uses the product occasionally, I question if the extra cost is justified. For commercial use it may be justified.

Ken - thanks for the background. I am considering the Long 280 and the Kubota 2710. both are about the same price with a loader. The Long is a much more substantial machine, weighing almost twice as much. The Kubota has a more sophisticated transmission, with one pedal control as opposed to a shuttle shifter. I think this decision comes down to taking to parts risk with my dealer for a bigger machine. Tim

Thanks for all the input! The future pasture looks a little bit like a mine field, which after the recent six inches of rain now looks like cranberry bog. I guess I will give it go with a box scaper once the water drains off.

Hmmm...I think I've been responsible for some mis-interpretation here. I'll try to get it right this time. A light weight 2wd compact with a loader is going to spin the tires....and particularly when tying to go uphill. But this does not hurt anything except perhaps your patience. If anything, it puts less wear on the trans/diff assembly. At 280 hours, you are barely broken-in on that tractor. They were a very reliable tractor and overbuilt. If it is in good shape, it will last as long as you want to keep it.
Likewise for the lack of power steering....Not having it makes loader work a lot more of a chore than it needs to be, but it doesn't hurt the tractor at all.
Not having the 4wd is the real drawback. Compact tractors and 4wd just go together. Even the small ones have plenty of horsepower, so that traction is always the limiting factor. And 4wd is the answer to more traction. But if you can live with some wheel spin, and particularly if price is a concern, then there is a price where it makes sense to buy it if for no other reasons than it will do a lot more work than a person with a shovel, and JD compacts hold their value very well.
For $6000 you aren't going to find a better deal without a major search plus some luck. It is still a JD, and you've still got the option of adding the power steering kit. (Part #AR99993) You should price the kit; they vary a lot from dealer to dealer. Hope that this helps.
