They are NH implements (7308 loader, 72" mower). He is showing a $500 "May disocunt" (whatever that is). All in our area that I spoke with said that this small dealer would be the highest & wouldn't "deal". But the dealer mostly recomended is $2000+ higher. This is the 1st price given - should I expect him to come down from that? What is the mark-up on these tractors? He said the TC25D would be about $1000 less. What more can a 29 do that the 25 can't?

George if its not to late--- check on the larger tires (7x16 frt. & 12.4x24 rear ag tires) its as wide as you can go and with the hill you mentioned you won't be sorry.They are bigger and wider and alot more stable.I use them and don't have any problems except in real wet ground they will make tracks but will go away in no time.ken

Anybody know the differences between the LA401 and the LA402 loader? The April 1999 B2710 product flier says it takes an LA401. The September 1999 B series flier says it takes the LA402! What gives?

Now that's a useful post. The URL's pointed to more info than my original sources. From this, it appears that the lighter gear are probably more appropriate for very light use, such as with a mower/garden tractor and that I'm probably better off with the 3-ton gear.

Which type of aerator work best? Is it beneficial to use one before overseeding (giving the seeds a place to sit)? If so, which type?<br>Thanks, Matt

Murf--how good are these chain harrows at dethatching a K-31 fescue "lawn?" (I put lawn in quotes since some turf specialists would not use the term K-31 with the term lawn.) This question is in regard to fall lawn maintenance in preparation for overseeding. Mike S.

I have a King Kutter 60" finish mower and have mowed 5 acres or so for the past two years. No problems at all. Mows as good as my 1641 Cub Cadett. Hope this helps.

Jim, I can't confirm or deny cost % but the dealer I bought from said he tries to make $500.00 per tractor he sells. I assumed he meant net profit. I have no idea what his ovverhead per unit is. I do know that the price I paid for a JD 4300 was within $100-$200 of a L3010 and a TC29D and I don't remember which was the cheapest. I put the numbers into a spreadsheet and tracked it because when I started looking I had no prejudices and was going to buy the cheapest. Pricewise there was not much difference. If JD dealers cost is at 67% and NH dealers cost is at 80%, the JD dealers are buying them cheaper around here.

I've used both the Ventrac 4000 & the Steiner S-20's, 420's & 430 Max's. The Ventrac 4000 is a lot more comfortable to drive than any steiner. The Ventrac also has bigger engine options than the steiners. And the price difference is very minimal if you compare the two with with the Kubota gas engine (which both tractors use) I think they are within $100.00 of each other.

Would you confirm the price 12,650. for new JD 790 with front end loader. If this is correct, please post the dealer name / phone or send me a private e-mail. I am interested in the same tractor, but getting prices in the range of 14,600. Thanks, John.

I recently upgraded from a B7100 to a B20 TLB. I was thrilled to get the backhoe, but the 3 pt hitch parts (everything!) didn't come with it. After pricing them from the dealer (Discounted price is $860)and getting over the shock, I'm wondering if there are alternatives. How model specific are these parts (conversely, how universal)? Would my local tractor salvage yard be a good source? I have a rotary cutter and a posthole digger I need to be using.

"Product Liability", Steve. They are covering themselves in case you turn the tractor over. Like the other guys said, the wider the tires are set apart, the more stable it'll be, but I think most folks are like me and want the bucket to be at least as wide as the outer edges of the tire tread. And with any loader, the operator just has to be careful!

Do not plant pine or fir (or spruce either) if you want an evergreen which will not grow taller than 20-30 feet. You need to find a short growing species of juniper (Maybe Rocky Mountain juniper or Eastern red cedar). Also possibly an arborvitae species. I'm a forester and these would be my best suggestion, short of some exotic species which I'm not familiar with.

Hey Dennis. Glad to see you could use the pics. I wasn't sure if they were what you had in mind or not.
I'm open to suggestions for additional photos from all of you. Loader on or off etc. I'll try to get some pics of the missing models ASAP.

If you sell that 4100 on the open market I would bet you would get decent price for it. Quite a few folks thinking about buying a 445 or 455 might want to have a real JD tractor.

I have a B2710 in my garage (and my Suburban sits outside), and a 1.25 acre lawn. Using a Rhino 5' rear mount finish mower I mow the largest span (about 100 X 400 feet) in about 25 minutes. I have R4 tires and only have scuffing problems when the grass or the ground is wet. I have a Craftman 15.5 HP lawnmower that I used for the tight spots of the yard. If I was concerned about scuffing the yard I would get turf tires on the 2710. I wouldn't consider spending 2 hours to mow that acre with the lawnmower when the tractor will do it in 20 minutes. A ZTR would be great, but I can't afford both.

Of course I didn't buy a tractor as "big" as the 2710 for my 1.25 acres. I bought 24 acres about 6 miles out of town that I trailer my tractor to for brush cutting, hauling limbs I have cut down to size, etc. We hope to build out there in the next couple of years. But the tractor has sure come in handy on my in-town property in the meantime. You should see the neighbors' expressions when I get that 2710 out on the lawn.

I bought a JD 4300,4wd,hydro last summer and I've been very happy with it. At first I got the collar shift trans and didn't like it, so I traded it back in for the hydro. I don't use it a lot, I only have 50 hours on it, but it's done some heavy work for me, with no problems.

Bird I should have stated that this price was from a farmer that sells Bush Hog & Woods equipment as a sideline. Regular equipment dealers in my area are $100.00 to $200.00 higher. Chris

I don't know about thorn punctures, but the automotive type plugs work great for nail holes in tubeless turf tires. I've used them for 20 years. Keep the gooey rubber strips wrapped up tight in plastic bags and they last for years in the tool box. For low pressure, low speed, high flex use like tractor tires I think the plugs are better than the patches.

Sorry, Iseki 2160 is 15.5hp, maybe I was just wishing for more.
Maybe a compromise for acreage like 10ac is 25hp, 52inch or so, to move fairly quick, if there is a budget restraint and you like something fairly new. This is what I will try next, I'm not sure I want to use a larger machine, what with fairly close spaced trees, and a plastic clay that easily gets compressed into a brick when moist, if there is too much weight. How do contractors handle many hours on a machine, they sure must have good seats. One of the research departments here (Aust), after trials, now recommends swivel seats and air bags, to save backs.
