JD 4500

I wonder if the post by J.Dubbs regarding his decision on a compact tractor would ever make it to Deere officials both at Augusta Works where the 4000 tractors are built or at their headquarters in Moline, IL. Mr. Dubbs says he eliminated the JD 4000 tractor from his choice essentially due to the MFWD axle problems that have been discussed on this board for nearly a year and a half. It would be interesting to know whether "any heads rolled" at Augusta with the axle mess. I suspect not. While the 4000 tractors continue to sell it would be interesting to know how many Kubotas, Cub Cadets and Boomers have been sold just due to the bad publicity surrounding the axle problem. In my opinion of Deere had just accepted the responsibility immediately, (a year and half ago) and replaced the axles without making the customers complain, beg, cry that this would have been forgotten by now. Customers like me would be on this board telling potential compact tractor buyers that Deere's warranty program is the best in the business and that you need to look beyond just the price. Instead, I am still waiting for the new axle on my 4600 and I get more irritated with Deere each time I mow with the tractor and rip up the turf.

I've heard that anti-freeze is a common cause of death for dogs. They like it because it's sweet. Guess anybody who has the misfortune of a tire leak should take additional care if pets are around.

Nathan,

Hello, I maintain about the same agreage as you do. First, I decided on a compact tractor, which range from 18 to 35 HP. Second, I found the Compact tractor message board and read every thread for the past year on the the top three compact tractor manufacturers, Kubota, John Deere and New Holland. I learned a lot from this board regarding good features, problems, prices and implement use on each brand. I then visited a dealer representing the above mentioned brands, had him explain my options and tractor features, and test drove each tractor. When I narrowed my choice down to one manufacturer I called ten dealers in my area and received price quotes, this is important, I had some dealers two thousand dollars apart on just the tractor.

In addition, I queried Carver Equipment from the tractor board, www.Tractorsmart.com, and www.jdlawns.com for addtional pricing.

I eliminated John Deere due to front axle problems with their 4000 series compact tractors and eliminated Kubota due to less tractor weight and higher prices than New Holland. After deciding on New Holland I queried www.NewHolland.com and found all the dealers in my area through their dealer finder feature at the web site.

I hope this helps you, I am thoroughly pleased with my choice of a New Holland Boomer. I think Deere and Kubota have their hands full with this line of New Holland tractors. Jason.

Mowing is the key. If you are mowing the BX is a great tractor. Honestly, mine spends 90% of its life mowing and it does it well. The other 10% of the time is spent pulling a 48" box blade, a 15 gallon sprayer, and a 100 lb. broadcast spreader. It does everything well. Just look honestly at what you are doing. I have tried mowing with bigger tractors. They are fine if you are not trimming around trees and the ground is firm and dry. I previously had a John Deere lawn tractor that was perfect for mowing but could not do anything else. The BX was the best I have found at covering both worlds.

I have had my BX2200 for about two months now (25 hrs run time). So far everything is running fine. I have the 54" mid-mount mower deck so it can fit on my trailer and I regularly use a 48" box blade. I don't know what tractor you have had previously, so It's hard to compare. I came from a one wheel drive John Deere and I will never give up four wheel drive. The tractor is a small frame size and pretty light, but it can still handle a box blade full of dirt or gravel and it still works quite well mowing the lawn. The turf tires provide better floatation than my olde JD. I have no idea how it will do with a loader, but I imagine that it would do well, provided you are not trying to push over trees and dig out a basement for your new house.

The only thing I have had to get used to was the position of the hydrostatic pedals and steering wheel. Everyone who has used the tractor thinks the pedal is too close and the steering wheel is too far away. It felt funny at first, but after 20 hrs it has become natural.

Something you might consider if possible, is to mow (if that is the main job of your future tractor) with a hydro & a gear tranny & you see what you like better. Every one has their own opion!

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A KUBOTA 4WDR L3750. I NEED A FRONTEND LOADER THAT IS EASY TO OPERATE - DID I MENTION THAT I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN A TRACTOR BEFORE? LOCATING AN OPERATIONS MANUAL FOR THE L3750 WOULD BE A GREAT HELP TOO! I AM A FIRST TIME TRACTOR OWNER AND ANY HELP THAT IS OFFERED WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

I believe Woods (as well as most other large manufacturers) make such a thing, they are designed to be mounted to a 'boom arm' or in place of a back-hoe bucket for cutting roadsides, ditches, etc. They are rather expensive, you may want to find an older 48" pto-driven model and have a local machine shop make a mounting bracket for a hydraulic motor drive in place of the existing gearbox. A colleague of mine did this, it cost him about $1,500 complete instead of $8,000 for a new one. Best of luck.

My father-in-law's 18hp Satoh has an aftermarket front loader that has the pump driven off of the front of the crank. My old Massey 40 industrial loader also had one.

I just bought a new 7305 with a front end loader for about 17400. So the price seems a little high in comparison. That is the price here in Oklahoma.
I only have about 25 hours on it so far, but it has worked very well so far.

I recently purchased a JD LT155. It is just a small lawn mower and it has a hydro transmission. I can not find anything in the manual that tells when or how to change the fluid in the transmission. I wonder if this is an oversite or if the hydro fluid is not supposed to be changed??? Does anyone have any ideas??
