TodH from bestoldman. Ran Kioti last year, very crude, and very slow. Long tractor, hard to find dealers for. Suggest JD 4600 or larger, or Kubota same size or larger. JD 5100 would be a good choice.

Larry,
Does your tractor start hard, if not I would suggest that it may have slow timing. After you first start it after about a minute at full throttle does the engine sound like it pops/misses, if so it is slow timing. Reply back to me if that helps you with your problem Bestoldman.

Mark - I think $15,000 is in the ballpark for that Deere. I recently bought a used 855 with 140 hours including the loader and backhoe (no mower) for $17,500. Considering that the hoe is about $6,000 new and the mower about $3,000, your price seems about right, maybe just a tad ($500 or $1,000) on the high side. As far as the 855s go, they're fine machines but a little light on the PTO HP, I think it's 19.5 HP.

Need advise opinions on purchase of JD855

Has anyone taken delivery of a Kubota B7500. If so, what has your experience been with this model? What attachments are you using and what was your decision making process in deciding to purchase a B7500? Any comments would be appreciated.

I just purchased 5.25 acres so that I can keep my 3 horses at home. I am having to clear the land and am doing a lot of work to make the pasture. I have been using a borrowed Yanmar YM155D (12 pto hp 2 cyl diesel 4wd) but it is too small for a lot of what I am doing. I am looking to buy my first tractor but do not want to pay the price of a new one (imagine that <G>). A friend of mine has a Mitsubishi MT4501D (45 hp 4 cyl diesel) 4wd for sale. I has really wide turf tires and about 2800 hours on it. He is an extreme perfectionist so I know the tractor is in top mechancal shape. He is asking $7000 for it. He called it a low profile tractor. Is anyone familiar with this tractor?Thanks!

It's really a Ventrac 4000, I forgot to hit the extra "0". The site is http://www.venturepro.com. It is an articulated full time 4-wheel drive compact utility tractor. Steiner http://www.steinerturf.com also makes the same sort of thing. They share the same quick-tach front attachment setup, and there is a TON of attachments for both tractors. Most are made by Steiner, and most will work with the Ventrac 3000-4000. The first time you drive one, it is a really wierd feeling. In fact, one of the reasons that I did not buy one 2 years ago was that it felt too wierd. I never drove it long enough to appreciate what an articulated tractor can do. This time, I spent 2 hours on one testing it out and I was hooked!

Check it out. I wish there was more conversation on the CTB about them. I know there are a ton of owners out there.

You do not say whether your controls are 2 or 4 valves...Presumably it is 4 valves, in which case (working left to right from operators position) the first valve is bucket, next is dipper, next is boom, and last is swing. Except for the swing valve, all valves move the same direction as the function, ie dump bucket would be push, scoop would be pull and so on, the swing is pull to move to the left, push to go to the right. If it is two stick, left one is bucket left/right, and dipper is push/pull, right one is boom push/pull, swing is left/right. Best of luck.

Mike,
I bought out of state and have been very happy so far. As you indicated the shipping was less than the sales tax but more than that the dealer was willing to deal to the tune of several thousand dollars less than my local dealer. You'll find people on this board who advocate supporting local business and kind of look down on not "buying local" I buy local whenever I can and always give them first shot but I think it would be pretty stupid to give a local dealer a few thousand dollars extra to subsidize an inflated profit margin when one has to assume that they probably get the units for a similar cost basis. Wehn I give money to charity i at least want it to be tax deductible! If you have any specific questions e-mail me at gerard3787@aol.com

I've been pricing the Woods 7500 (3 pt w/pump). I have quotes from $5300 to $6500. The high price dealer justified his price because his rent is higher. As far as I'm concerned, $1200 price difference is plenty of incentive to drive a couple of hours to a low rent dealer to pick up a backhoe.

I've had a 4WD JD 650 with loader, JD 550 (?) rototiller, 5 ft boxblade, and a posthole digger for about a year. I have one rolling acre with clay and a few rocks. The tractor has done everything I have asked of it, but I would consider it too small for the situation you describe. The problem is that with this small and low powered (14.5 pto) a tractor, you have to do everything (except finish mowing) just a bit slower than you would with some more weight and power. I'd keep all my implements, but I'd want about 25 hp if I had your situation. I personally find a gear tractor to be fine for my uses, but if you're going to spend a lot of time with the loader, or going around trees, etc, mowing, a hydro would be very nice. The 650 also does not have a two stage clutch, so every time you declutch you lose your mowing or tilling capability.

Thanks for the reply. I did look the drive shaft and front differential over last night. It looks pretty simple to pull off. I'm going to pull the pinon and look in and see what I can see. That should only take a couple of bolts to pull off. When I rotate the front wheel the wheel on the other side turns. I would think the axles and spider gears are OK. If it was the ring gear and pinon you would think it would make some kind of noise. Hopefully it may be a shear pin inside the collar where the drive shaft hooks up to the pinion. It odd but the drive shaft does not have any U Joints. It is a straight drive shaft from the transmission to the front differential. It has a carrier bearing where the driveshaft and pinion shaft meet.

Hopefully, I will have a better idea when I pull the drive shaft and pinion this weekend. I'll let you know what I find.

FEL capacities are determined Partialy by what tractor they are mounted on and the hydraulic pressure they use. Lift capacity of the NH7308 FEL on a TC33d is 1020 lbs. @ 2100 psi. The lift capacity of a JD 430 on a 4300 is 1045 lbs. These setups are VERY similar (compareable). These figures are from our repair/owners manuals. Bottom line: if you change the tractor/hydraulics, you will change the FEL's capacities.

I went through the same thing less than a year ago. It isn't easy. Right now, I've got the flu, so I won't try to summarize some good previous discussions on the same subject.

You might search the archives here and on tractorbynet for first time buyer and used tractor discussions. These are really good forums for novices to start sorting all this stuff out. I'd read these forums as long as possible before becoming an active buyer.

Myself, I eventually bought a used Ford 1710 through a dealer. I figured that, knowing little about tractors, there would be less chance of getting something really bad through a dealer. And, with a dealer, you have the luxuary of asking questions for awhile.

I am wanting to know the differance between the JD 790 and the 770.<br>I found a 770 4x4 with a 70 loader, 1997 model with 300 hrs. on it. The dealer quoted me $10,000 over the phone.

Should I continue persuing the 790 of go for the 770 @ $10,000 (which includes the loader)?<br>Any ideas?
