Chris: I stand corrected. How did they change the pump mechanism. I generally do all my own work, would JD furnish the parts. My dealer has some mechanics but they've asked me to fix things for them. Can you make claim directly to the company or do you go through the dealer. I emailed Deere a memo but got no response. Wonder if it would be better to just trade for one of the new setups....I hate to monkey with a tractor.

I agree that the charcoal text is much easier to read but was wondering, why are the messages italicized? That's what really makes them hard to read. Normal text would be even easier on the eyes. Regards.

Check "venturepro.com" for a quiet blower that also has a discharge that rotates 180 degrees. Rotation is done by the tractor's auxiliary hydraulic circuit just like a snow blower chute.

Thank you for the wonderful insight. Based on your comments, I will seriously consider a rear mount when I get my next tractor. I do use my tractor (JD 855)for dirt work (bucket, scraper, etc) so being able to connect/disconnect from the mower would be very nice in the summer.

I just wasn't sure about how well a rear mount mowed versus a belly. Based on your comments, it sounds like it will do a great job. Thanks again.

Bird, rule of thumb on calcium mix is 50 gallons of water and two bags calcium. We are getting a full mix on that and our bags are 80lbs. Normal price is $18. per bag water is still free here in N.Y.but we do ahve to pay our help and for the machines to fill them. A realistic cost on filling a compact tractor tire and adding tubes is $200.? Does depend on size of tires for the tubes and amount of mix. I still don't like calcium or anything in tires due to the traction losses and prefer cast iron or other solid type of weight.

Forget about plowing with the loader. It'll do a great job for pushing back the banks but a lousy job at plowing because it doesn't "shed" the snow. Your first pass will be ok because after the bucket fills the rest spills out on each side. For an 800 ft driveway I'd go with either a back blade (at least 7ft because when you angle it you actually cut down the swath to about 6ft) or a front blade that replaces your bucket. That way you also have power angle. (About $1200. Still cheaper than a 3 pt snowblower) Just make sure your loader has a float position, helps a lot in not tearing up the driveway.

Tell your dealer that your a novice when it comes to operating a tractor,I'm sure he will take the time to go over every detail.When learning to use a loader or other equipment,the best way is to start out very slowly,keep the rpm's up,so you do not run out of power,best part of a hydro-trans.Just take your time to get to know the tractor,and to get the"feel" for everything.I also have B2710 with 72" mid-mower,this is an exellent mowing unit,the 2710 has lots of power,and is light on its feet.The mower deck is probably as well built,if not better than any other deck out there.You will enjoy the 2710,I recommend one highly.

Blocking a 3ph implement when it's parked helps. Lower arms stay about the right height, and the implement doesn't have to be leveled by hand to make the top link pin. It's a pain to pick up a 3ph implement and discover that the top link can't be extended enough to make the pin. I also have a 6' steel pry bar if I need to shift an implement slightly.

Like Murf, I don't worry about keeping the arms apart. However, I did discover some basic mechanics of 3ph's when I first started swapping implements. For example, one lower arm at a time can be lifted by hand. Either arm can be picked up, moved over and dropped into the slot. In addition, the lower link leveler moves one arm one way, and the other arm in the opposite direction. The 3ph lift moves both arms together. Lining up the lower pins usually requires adjustments with both the 3ph lift and the lower link levelers.

I think what is important to remember is that the tractor or implement can shift before all pins are made. Real good idea to make sure your fingers are never between tractor and implement members, your feet are never under anything, and you never climb in-between the lift arms.

Not sure if this helps or not but I have a 50 HP utility tractor with a 90" finishing mower and I would not recomend less HP. Going through deep grass I shift into 1st or 2nd. Paul

With the compact tractor loaders, most of the difference is in the aesthetics: how they look on the tractor. I happen to think that the original 336D factory loader was well matched visually. Nope, haven't heard of any problems with loaders made in the last 20 years. Yes, there are slight differences in the specs and the way that they operate, but I'm betting that you won't ever notice.
What is important is to get a loader that is sized for the particular compact tractor. Old fashioned loaders designed for small farm tractors are just too heavy for a compact.

I have a JD 955 but use it to tow the chipper I bought last year. The older drum chippers are going fairly cheap today. I bought a '74 Wayne chipper for $1500. It's a 16" unit with a chrysler 318 for power (maybe 150hp at speed). Anything I don't want for firewood goes through it fine. I had a 20hp tow-behind 4" unit that was underpowered. The most important thing is to get enough speed and flywheel action to deal with the large branches. Clearly, these are rather dangerous machines, but then, so is any chipper.

I found a website that has a picture of the Brush-Brute. It looks like a pretty simple rig - I've found that simple is usually better in my life. http://www.agdealer.com/list/view_image.cfm?image=2010231&dealerid=171 If this doesn't take you there right away, just go to www.agdealer.com and search for "brush-brute". That's how I found it.

I've got the RCR2560 and it certainly looks heavy duty. I was mostly concerned with burning up the slip clutch or hurting the tractor. The tractor has 27hp at the PTO (non-hydro) and it did stall out once. I must have hit something when I was backing in to some trees. Thanks for your thoughts.

I was in your position a while back and did lots of research on the subject. i was torn between the JD4100 and the Kubota B2100 (no Cub dealers close although the Kubota dealer could get them). I decided on the Kubota based mainly on the dealer. The JD dealer wasn't too interested in me or my business (he has since sold out and the new guy is pretty good) even though I already have a JD 820 and the delivery times back then were long and getting longer for the 4100. I eventually got the B2400, a few more hp for a relatively few dollars more and have been very happy with it. The ergonomics are slightly different on the two machines, try driving them both, but you can't go wrong with either one. The dealers might even let you use one for the afternoon, just to get the feel of it. The decision usually comes down to price and the dealer and don't underestimate the value of a good dealership. It might be worth paying a little bit more for the machine if he is really good. Make your decision, put down your money and have fun.
