There is a Rhino ST-47 tiller listed in a local auction this weekend. I was wondering if anyone could tell me what one of these is worth. It has only been used one time. There is also a 1998 NH 1620 4x4 w/85 hrs. Thanks again!Cliff

i'm buying my first compact utility tractor to maintain and landscape a 2 acre yard. my neighbors are also excited about this purchase.i have narrowed my choices between the JD 4200 or the kubota 2710, i plan to equip the tractor with a front end loader and a backhoe . any suggestions as to which is better or more practical . also does the backhoe dig with relative ease? THANKS!!

Just purchased a Ford 1210 Hydro with Continental Belton belly mower. Mid-point PTO was removed to accommodate CB. Would like to convert to Ford PTO and belly mower. Will sell CB, its in excellent shape. They made a PTO kit when the tractor was new but now not available unless a dealer has one on the shelf left over. No luck finding one. Would like to purchase one from someone who is not using theirs. I can furnish the plate that is on mine. It is a simple bolt on, I think!! Thanks.

Joe,
My vote is for the 4100. Not only because we bought one, but because I think you will quickly outgrow the abilites of the BX. We only have 2 acres in yard, yet I wouldn't want anything smaller/lighter. My thoughts were further solidified by the ability to borrow and handle a neighbors 6' rake and blade. Granted, the 6' blade made the 4100 work, but the tractor could handle it with a little extra user patience. Not sure how the lighter BX would do in this situation, even though its about equal in HP. Just to give you an idea of what our 4100 is tackling at the moment. We are currently spreading our second tri-axle load of mulch with the loader. In between moving & leveling another 2 tri-axle loads of screened top-soil on the yard. Just after filling 6 utility trailer's worth of dead sod and stones. Needless to say, "This tractor has paid for itself already. And those are words from my wife!! This winter it moved mounds and mounds of 4' deep snow drifts without chains, sometimes twice a day when it was windy. The capabiliy of the belly mower is equally on par in terms of mowing speed, and cutting through deep thick grass. I still crack a smile when I install/remove the mower or loader, because its just so damn easy and well laid out. Which is one of the reasons I chose JD. BUT..don't get me wrong, I also think the Kubota 'B'lineup is an EXCELLENT choice and would not hesitate buying one. Although I'd probably look at the 2710. Sounds like an impressive and capable piece of machinery, yet its still compact in size for what our yard would support. Good luck, let us know how you make out. :)

David,
Bird pretty much sums it up. Unless you have a clutched transfer case, like the ones found on an AWD vehicle, 4WD in any vehicle should always be used on a surface that will allow tire slippage while turning, such as grass, dirt, snow, etc...Under these conditions, I doubt you will ever be faced with problems. Using 4wd on Concrete, pavement however puts incredible stress on the drivetrain and will wear tires much quicker. Although the tire issue will almost seem minor after a bill for the eventual gear replacements. Sounds like your doing everything right Dave. 4WD is safer on hills anyway, because the drivetrain ties the rear brakes to the front as well.. Remember to wear your seatbelt :)

Ernie, I do alot of custom snow removal and my choice is a blower, the only way I'd ever use a blade again is if the blower was broke down. With a blower you move the snow once, no dinking around with a loader to make room for next snow fall. If you try to move snow with frozen rain on top of it you will see how quick a blade becomes almost useless. Tractor will slide off sideways unless you can take a small bite at a time, my blower has gone through snow that would have been next to impossible to do with blade.

I have been selling the grey markets for about 4 years now and have learned a lot about the Hinomotos. The E-16 does not crossover to a 205. The E-18 has the same engine as the 205, but some of the parts are not inter- changeable. It is pretty much the same block, but there are a few differences. The E182 is a better match to the MF205.

My 1710 works just fine for me. I think the 10 series were manufactured in the early through mid-80's. The tractors are supported by New Holland, and Ford repair manuals are available.

The HST pedal on the New Holland Boomer is great! All I have to do is rock my foot back or forward. And when mowing, once I have it at the speed I want, just set the cruise control and I'm in business.

I just tilled 7 acres to plant coastal bermuda grass on this past weekend. It took about 14 hours with a 5 ft tiller. The tiller leaves the soil nice and level. A plow will not. Did a good job but broke 14 tines on rocks.

Next time I will probably use the scarfiers on a boxblade to rip the soil first before tilling. That will get the rocks out. Plowing sure makes a big mess to clean up.

The scarfiers just rip the soil without making big clods out of it like a plow does.

I am looking for a model 380 front blade for a john deere 650 2wd utility tractor, mostly needed for snow removal. If anyone has any suggestions, i dont have front hydraulics on the unit but i do have spare ports on the the rear hydraulic manifold. The tractor is already 12 years old but has very low hours. I would like to just have a manualy operated controls for angling the blade. H ave been thinking of designing a front blade similar to a four wheeler type plow with a cam lock tyope of setup. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The best price for a neew john deere model 380 is around $1800. But for a 12 year old tractor and a 2wd unit that is kinda steep.

Yes you can straighten the auger, but you have to have a hidraulic press. MAny of your local dealers, "John Deere""Kabota" etc... should have the equipment to do it. It may require cutting part of the flighting out to straighten it. good dealer will have personel who can do this.

All 8 tires can be run at 6 psi with duals on a Steiner 420 or 430. I only remove the duals for snow clearing with the V-Blade. Duals may enhance traction ,but their primary function is stability.

M.Sullivan, I certainly can understand your wanting to go with the B7500 because of the price difference, but I can also say, from your questions, you'll always wish you'd gone ahead and got the B2710. The B7500 probably has enough PTO power to pull a 5' mower, but it'll probably be too heavy. The dealer was right; stay with a 4' mower. The B2710 handles a 5' mower with ease. The same will be true of the blades. I don't know what the trailer towing rating is for the B7500, but my B7100 manual said trailers of 1000 pounds if I remember right (naturally you can pull a lot more than that if you're careful). The B2710 manual says for trailer of 3300 pounds with tongue weight of 800. Now the B7500 is certainly a nicer tractor with more nice features than my 1995 B7100 had, but the size and capabilities are not that much different, and there's just no comparison between them and the B2710 I have now.

It is nice to have access to this machine, I checked and it is a JD 2640. What is hard to justify is the price on these compacts. This 2640 with cab, heat, and loader(BIG), 1100 one owner hours,auctioned for $13500. Again, this is too big for me, and I need the compact. Of course my wife just says..."borrow Dad's.." She doesn't understand the need to own your own machine. Thanks for the input.

These prices are a bit high for my region of the country (south-central). Typical price for the 1500D here is about $3100 and for the 1610D about $3800. I recently purchased a 2310D for $4800, which is a typical price for this area.
