How very true! A friend of mine has a 4100 and knew nothing about the scuffing problem until I informed him of it. Needless to say he is going to see the dealer and see that the repair is done. Great forum!

Hi Roger,

I am interested in building a bucket tooth bar such as yours. Could you give me a rough idea on how you did yours. I have my own welding equiptment.

Thanks,

Thanks for the comment. One other thing I would like to know is the change in the pump. I don't think my dealer has worked on these units and I am interested in knowing about the pump change over. I might change the front end myself, see how it goes on, can anyone share information about the other changes. In changing this I want to be sure it's right. Spoke to the dealer today and he is contacting the rep. Monday. I do a lot of business with them and feel somewhat confident we can work the matter out. Will keep a post.

I don't think you will have any problem with a hydro for this. To verify this for yourself why not rent a hydro for a half day and do it.

Jeff- Given what Mark said about the low and high auction prices for a 2020, and given that a 48 loader sells for $1500 to $2000 around here (SW Wisconsin), $8500 seems a little high for the pair. Someone must have wanted that 2020 with that loader real bad! Hope something else nice comes your way at a better price.

Ernie, I agree with Robert; just go with HST and 4WD. He says it's like "double the power" and sometimes it seems that way. A neighbor with big tractors says it's actually 15% to 25% more pulling power with 4WD. Of course the difference is in the traction, not actual power. Robert says to go with Blue; I prefer Orange, but they're all good tractors. I have a B2710 and my cousin has a TC29 and I don't guess either of us would trade with the other.

I don't know about Red or Green, but Boomers are delivered to the dealer via flatbed trailer with tires mounted. Seat & controls are covered in plastic, some road dust, but the tractors look "brand New", like a new penny. Loaders are added by the dealer. Boomers are moving so fast at the dealers here in TN, they don't have time to rust. I checked my TC25D with a finetooth comb, and didn't find a scratch. If it's got rust, makes you wonder.

I found a new use for my slip scoop. Going on the comment made by my dealer that the slip scoop is kind of like a wheelbarrel, I used it to hold a batch of cement that I mixed in it. At that point, it was pretty easy to move over to where I was making a step for my deck. I then just hosed things down and had a clean tractor.

Peter, on the 430 loader issue, the 430 is for the 4300,4400. They are heavier machines then the 790. I am sure this is why JD rates the 430 for a better lift. cap. But, 755lbs isn't bad, I believe this is at full lift height. I know I have carried large stones that must have been more then 1000lbs, with the bucket a few inches off the ground with no trouble at all from my 790.

If your looking to do heavy loader work on a compact, I would look at Kubota. They seem to have huge lift cap. on there machines compared to JD. The specs of a Kubota B21 are amazing compared to JD.

Anyway, I like my JD790, but would buy blue or orange next time around. JD790 is very "clunky" and not at all user friendly as far as controls. The more I use it in heavy work, the more I wish I waited to look at Blue and Orange tractors. Oh well.

Danny, Yanmar made lime-green tractors up until about 1978....then they went to the red and cream color. These were sold in the US till about 1990. Yes, All of the JD compacts numbering between 650 and 1090 plus the 1250, the 1450, the 1650, and the newer 4100 are made entirely by Yanmar. At least that's the story as best any of us model/history fuys can figure it. Larger 4000 series JDs still use the Yanmar engine complete. Who knows about the rest of the tractor?...Yanmar did not make the front axle that JD is currently replacing on the 4000 series. I believe that one was a US made front axle.
Are Yanmars reliable? Well, they are exactly as reliable as a similar sized JD :-). The powershift transmission was not included in the tractors that Yanmar made for JD. It is an expensive and fairly unique transmission. The story at the time was that Yanmar wanted to retain exclusive rights to it. Again, who knows where the truth is? JD does use a similar tranny on their large Ag tractors. The powershift doesn't seem to have any built-in problems, but it is a complex device. Yanmar has been making it now for 20 years and I haven't heard of problems with it. For many years you could buy the Yanmar with or without the powershift tranny, powershift was an add-on extra.
The thing about Yanmars is that they are a grey market tractor. There are factory-recognized Yanmar dealers in this country but they are in an odd position. They sell parts and do repairs and sell accessories - but they don't sell tractors! So if you want a Yanmar, you have to buy a used one. Up until recently this wasn't such a bad deal. A used Yanmar was more or less the same as the newer tractors. Much like a used JD but less expensive. But recently the newer ones have gotten much better. New Yanmars would probably be competitive. But like I say, you can't buy one. Until you can, the Yanmar is going to remain an outsider. One last question always pops up: If Yanmar made both Yanmar and JD, do Yanmar and JD parts interchange? The answer is: Some do; most don't.

I just picked up a 6ft woods rake new at auction for $325 which i've since found out is a pretty good price. Dealer would have wanted $425-500. I think the brands you mentioned are all comparable. I'd stay away from the really cheap ones as they seem pretty light duty and you can get to pulling a pretty heavy load if your're doing dirt and things. You should be able to get a decent one for under $500 unless you want guide wheels, then add about $125. (For nice finish grading I can see where they would be worth it but you can always add them later.) Try some auctions if you don't need it right away.

Danny, forgot your question regarding the 5' bushog, my tractor handles 5' implements with ease, but remember the 4 wheel drive adds weight to the front end, however, I'm sure the 2310 would handle the 5' bushog easily.

Kenny, does this two position pedal adjustment apply to the JD 4300? Wouldn't mind if mine were easier to operate! Also, as my tractor doesn't get to the dealer often, is it something the mechanically inclined can handle?

Thanks Terry. Could I asked what you paid for it (with a breakdown of costs if possible)? The dealer wants $21,500 for the 4600 with 4WD, HST, DSCV and insdustrial tires and folding ROPS. I would assume from what you said that if it has been built already, it has the old scuffing problem.

I have a 21D that I got last spring and have put about 125hrs on it using a 5ft rear mount mower, 5ft bush hog, and 5ft box blade in addition to the loader. It handles the attachments easily but can get a little bogged down with a full load in the box scraper. All in all though, it has enough power for these implements and the loader works great as well. In fact, you almost have to have an attachment on when doing loader work, and have the loader on when doing box blade work, just for ballast. The 21 is physically quite a bit smaller than the 25d, but to me this is an advantage when using it for mowing (lawns). It is lighter too, so it's more maneuverable and does less turf damage. If I weren't gonna be doing any mowing, I'd probably go with a 25 or bigger. But this machine is my lawn mower as well. As for price, you're price sounds about right.
