Joe, I'm not sure you're comparing apples to apples. The JD4100 stacks up against the Kubota B1700/2100/2400 (or the latest upgrades to these models) but specifically to the B2100. Either the JD4100 or the B2100/B2400 are great machines and I think you will be happy with either one. The ergonomics are slightly different on the different machines. You just have to try them both and see which one you prefer. The front end loader on this seies of Kubota tractors is every bit as easy to mount and dismount as the Deere. It takes about 2 minutes - no more. When I was in this position last year, I went with the B2400 because of availability and I liked the dealer a lot more (The JD dealer has since sold out and the new guy is pretty good) I chose the B2400 over the B2100 because it was an extra 3hp for a few dollars more. If I were looking today, I might choose the 4100 but I love my little Kubota and have no intention of getting rid of it. Since you are looking for a one time purchase, you can't really go wrong with either one and your children and grandchildren will thank you.

Danny, the Yanmar that your guy was referring to must have been a bigger unit than the JD 750. I own a '81 JD 750 and it is a 3cyl machine with a Yanmar diesel engine rated at 21hp, producing 17hp at the pto. The JD 850 is rated at about 25 engine hp. Yanmar does make most all the engines for the JD tractors that are 30hp and under. Not sure if they made the whole tractor though. There are others in this group who could tell you that for sure.

Later...

Ernie,
Sounds like the guys who told you "Hydro's suck for pulling" don't have much experience on em, or they don't understand how a hydro works. When you understand how each transmission works and what each needs to function properly, you will have no problems. Just like a automatic in your car/truck. RPM's are needed to provide sufficient fluid coupling. Can't expect this to happen at idle. Took me a while to stop treating my hydro like a gear.

The kubota also has a higher loader lift capacity, larger tires, bigger reserve oil capacities and a straight drive shaft to the front end without u-joints and wet brakes. Might it just be that it is more of a tractor? You might want to look at a smaller size of Kubota to get a more even comparison like the b-7500.

Todd, I used to have an M! Nice old tractor. Particularly nice to listen to an old low compression gasser compared with the diesels of today. I changed my M over to a quasi-3pt hitch by adding a top link. Mine came with a sort of odd-ball 2 point hitch that was JD's attempt to beat the Ferguson 3pt patent. They should have just copied it. :-)
Anyway, I'm not understanding why you would pull the head. So far it sounds like a simple case of gas starvation. Sounds like the fuel filter or the main jet circuit in the carb are clogged up with crud. Clean or replace that filter, drop the float bowl, clean out the carb, and see what happens.

JD model M skips any ideas why

Someone mentioned that you can get stuck if you aren't careful with the post hole digger. Speaking from experience, I was using my Bobcat and trying the post hole digger for the first time and drove it down 48" pretty easily. And then realized that I couldn't get it back up or move it at all. I was scared until I called the dealer and found out that on the Bobcat (fortunately), you can run the auxilliary hydraulics in reverse and I unscrewed it easily. But it would have been major work if I had to dig it out by hand. So with a three point one, go slowly and keep backing it out.

Go to a store like Radio Shack, they have stero headphone jacks. Run a speaker wire to each of the terminals. When you plug in the earphones the speakers will be disconnected. Directions will probably be included. Simple procedure.

If I were you I'd take the TC25 over the 33 if the 25 had FWD. I have the 29D FWD and it's a great machine. All three 25/29/33 are the same phycial size, the only difference being the horsepower. The FWD is what makes the big difference. I also have the R4 tires. Great machine! New Holland has a great deal on financing for the month of April. Donald

Dave- Well, I can't give you an answer to your question, but I remembered your question when I ran across this information yesterday, so I'll pass it on to you assuming you're still looking for some information and some help. This is from a table of "Basic Dimensions of Some Farm Tractor Tires," all R-1. Loaded radius is defined as "the distance from the ground to the axle center for a tire which is loaded and inflated to recommended pressure." This obviously takes into account the deflection of the tire at the ground, and reflects what the effective circumference of the tire will be as it rolls along the ground. According to the table, an 11.2-24 tire has a loaded radius of 19.0 inches; a 12.4-24 tire has a loaded radius of 20.8 inches. Seems like the 12.4-24 will cover more ground per revolution than the 11.2 will. Whether this is enough of a difference to start giving you a lead-lag problem, I haven't a clue. Interestingly enough, there seems to be only two tire size pairs (within the same rim diameter) which have the same loaded radius. The 13.6-38 and the 15.5-38 (and the pair switch I was interested in for a different reason!) have an identical loaded radius of 28.6 inches. The 9.5-24 and the 11.2-24 have an identical loaded radius of 19.0 inches. I guess if you wanted to change down to 9.5-24's you wouldn't have a problem!! As a general point, the table indicates that changing up or down to the next closest section width within a given rim diameter mostly makes a difference of from 0.3 to 1.5 inches in the loaded radius. Your proposed switch has one of the bigger (although not the biggest) loaded radius jumps. Hope this information helps with your decision.

I will sell it at several hundred less than the $2500 a new one cost. My asking price is $1750! Again this deck is as new condition!!!!! Will email pictures if you like. Why buy a new one when you can save hundreds and get one just like new? Location is Brazil, Indiana. To request pictures email me at: Lvis12@hotmail.com

thanks for the link chris (great website)i almost pulled the trigger on that
deal, buying a tractor is almost as bad as buying a car.that quote was for a HST
and no mid mower. for the 4400 with the same options, they wanted 33,000
must be that added surcharge for living in the northeast.

Scott, instead of front end weights, you may consider a frontend loaded. It will provide the added weight you need, plus it's uses are endless! Just one use besides moving dirt/rocks, is that you always have a place to carry anything you might want. I use mine for everything. It helps balance the tractor a great deal. Donald
