If you had a John Deere 4000 series you would be able to brake steer with out any problem. The John Deere Hydros have the turning brakes on the left side & a master brake pedal on the right side. It works great. Chris

Barry, Most JD manuals can be ordered thru your JD dealer. You can also order them direct from JD and have them delivered to your door. The number for JD that I have is 1-800-522-7448. JD requires model and serial number when ordering. Hope this information helps and good luck.

I have had my JD 4300 since March. I am doing my 50 hour maintenance this weekend and to date have had no problems, knock on wood. I know if I keep saying this I am going to jinx myself but it has absolutely performed as well as I could ask. I am sure some of you guys work your tractors harder than I do but for what I want to do it has done it well. I guess this is why my friends call me Lucky Eddie, or maybe it's not the reason. Only change I might make is to get turf tires. I just don't like driving it on my lawn and have know intentions of driving it in the mud. I am in the process of putting third SCV on so I appreciate the information on the sticking. Good luck with your tractors.

I would like to take this opportunity to vent some frustrations with my 4300 and experiences with the dealership. I purchased my tractor in November of 1999 from Harnett Tractor in Dunn, NC. I currently have 240 hours on the tractor and of that about 40 hours on the backhoe. Upon delivery of my tractor, I used it for five minutes before noticing the 4 in 1 bucket hydraulics were not functioning properly. The dealership picked up the tractor and returned it in a couple of days. Later on, I realized the dealership had connected the backhoe hydraulics incorrectly. The backhoe was connected inline with the rockshaft input port, meaning the rockshaft would function WITH the backhoe attached. The return of the backhoe was supposed to be connected to the return to reservoir port and the rockshaft input port is to be left unconnected. I corrected this problem at a cost to me of $26 for a coupling. Then the fuel gauge stopped working. The rod that connects the float to the sensor broke at the spot weld. For the sake of not having to go through the dealership, I repaired this myself at a cost of $40 for a new fuel gauge sending unit. After using the tractor for the last several months, the problems began to accumulate. I carried the tractor to the dealership on 6/20/2000 with the following repair list. An engine oil leak around the injector pump. The rockshaft arms tend to have a surging cycle when the tractor is idling, as if its having trouble maintaining the raised position. The backhoe bucket curl cylinder sprays hydraulic fluid under a heavy digging load (its not the fitting, its the cylinder). The backhoe boom right/left cylinders and or fittings leak hydraulic fluid constantly. The backhoe left side frame mount plate has one bolt that has loosened and backed out approx half an inch. The loader intermittently looses power and can barely raise itself off the ground(yes I recoupled the couplings numerous times-not the problem). The loader also holds its raised position for only a few minutes before it begins to sink downward with the engine either running or off. I have called the service manager several times this week and got the following responses. All the problems were supposedly easy to fix except the loader issues. The problem with the loader intermittently lacking raise power had them "baffled" and then they were "confused" per the service manager. John Deere has been providing them with "THINGS TO TRY" all week, but none of those solutions "TOTALLY" fixed the problem. The service manager told me that he was going to replace the entire SVC. I was "semi" promised the tractor today 6/30 or maybe 7/1, but now that has been pushed out to 7/3-late afternoon("we'll try our best") due to the SVC not arriving and was "back ordered". Would I buy green again? I just dunno....... BTW, I do have the scuffing axle problem. That will be my next chore. I will keep you updated. -Thanks!

My name is Glenn Steiner. I am a member of the family that sold the Steiner product line to Ransomes on January 18, 1988.

Has anyone with the large frame JD (4500-4700) received the new, updated backhoe mounting plates? My dealer is still waiting and I was wondering if/when they will be shipped. I can't use the backhoe and I have some serious digging to do..thanks

Good job Frank 0 to 3% lead is proper. When operating as Frank said if your four wheel drive lever does not engage easily than you may have problems. With the bigger farm tractors with larger side walls they often make the front end bounce up and down trying to equalize the drive line wrap created from the in balance.

Hi, I just took delivery of my new Kubota B-2710 with a 60" loader and a 72" rear Woods Blade. I have r-4 tires which are loaded, (not w/ calcium cloride). I see a few of you already own this model and I was wondering if there is anything the dealer doesn't tell you that I should be aware of or be on the lookout for?

You have to work at a great price. Check out the Western PA dealers with multiple outlets, and combine that deal witrh other "toys".

Sir;
I was thinking about switching over to Amsoil, but the dealer advised me agisnt it. I've used it in about everything else, from chainsaws to my M274 MULE to my truck(now with 140k) & it all seems fine. Any majior reason not to? Will it void the warn?

Hey, same prob with my 25D. Took 30 seconds & a screwdriver to fix.
Found that I could have saved a good bit by shopping around, but the service & the local dealer here is very good. 5 years from now, I guess that means more than 1k at purchase.

I have seen several machines with a fan-belt driven pump to power things like rotary brooms, etc. These are handy because they are equipped with a 12 volt clutch so they only create a load on the engine when required, not constantly.

All,

I just purchased the TC33D w/SS FWD, 7308 loader with HD bucket and bolt on cutting edge and the 72" 914a mid-mount mower. Final price, $20,185. I purchased it from the NH dealer in elizabethtown PA. I am actually going to pick it up tomarrow 6/30. I was guessing the price breakdown to be $3050 for the loader, $2400 for the mower and $14550 for the tractor, and a $130 upcharge to get the bolt on cutting edge and $50 to go from the standard bucket to the heavy duty bucket.

Hope this helps.

Mark

Yes . There are components available to install front pumps. You don't mention what tractor you have, so it's hard to say what is available for your tractor. You can contact me for info & pricing at sheaftractor@coiinc.com or 815-284-3226.

Chris, I don't know about the Gannon blades; never seen or used one, but from these posts (and others I've read) they must be a fine blade. But you might also want to click on the Monroe Tufline banner at the top of the page and look at theirs. I sure liked my Tufline box blade.
