Howard I have recently purchased a Yanmar YM336. I payed $6300 in Western Ma.which I was told was a very good (low) price. 320 hrs.,front loader and grading blade. The manual I received has it as a 1991 2WD. The 336D designates 4WD.
Guess it depends on where you live but a 4WD here would be around $9 to 10K at a dealer.

I have the foot pedal on my unit. I don't use it much except when doing a lot of shuttling between locations with the slip scoop. The Hand control can be used to control the up and down movement of the front implement as well as forward and backward movement of the tractor all at the same time. This allows you to control how deep you are digging in with the scoop or blade without losing forward momentum just like a bulldozer. I usually run my unit with the control on the dash in the upmost position so that it is smoother on the hand control. I have actually dug a ditch with the scoop thanks to the down pressure of the hydraulics and being able to control it all with one hand.

For William,
My unit has the 24hp Kubota gas engine in it. It has plenty of power for me and my uses. I thought long and hard about the diesels but decided to go with the gas because of all of my other tools use gas and diesel is not readily available near my home. The unit was a dealer demo and when it was demonstrated at my home, the dealer had a 72" mower on it and it performed very well in tall grass. I figured it would be fine with the 60" mower which is all I needed.

Just got my JD790 last night! I feel like my six year old on Christmas day. First of many questions: Do the rotary cutter blades need to be sharpened? I got the JD513 cutter and the blades are nice and thick with a very round profile on the leading edge. Seems to me it ought to be sharp, but I'm new at this. Any thoughts from you seasoned pros? Thanks, Rob.

Bob, I'm "old" and just a little bit "experienced". Some say that cutting 1-2" stuff with a brush hog "shatters" the little stump instead of making a smooth cut (since rotary cutter blades are not really sharp) so that it's less likely to puncture a tire the next time; claiming that cutting one off with an ax or chain saw and leaving a little stump or "stob" is more likely to puncture tires. I think there's some truth to that, but I also think, depending on the type of brush cut, that the old, experienced farmer was right. And I've seen a neighbor puncture a tire exactly that way, so I'm a little reluctant to go back over areas of small trees that have been brush hogged before, although so far I've not had a problem when I found it necessary to do. It'd be interesting to hear of others' experience with this.

In my previous post I intended to say that I can turn the tractor to full steering angle WITHOUT the chunks of turf flying. A simple case of poor typing skills.

Did you ever find out what was causing this? I've just experienced many
of these problems, and they have just ordered a new transmission for my
4200 4wd hystat. They found a couple of bearings were gone, which in my
mind does not explain all the symptoms.

Steve, thanks for the quick reply. Your mailbox has the e-mail I described. And a third reason; Equipment dealers really do read customer/potential customer posts and comments. Thanks!

Joe, if you really mean 1.5" stuff, almost anything should do it. Like Doug, I have a 5hp Briggs & Stratton powered Craftsman that I can move around by hand or tow behind a lawn tractor (or even my Kubota), and it's chewed up a fantastic amount of stuff up to about 2.5" in the last 5 years.

I purchased a 4600 4 drive tractor with a front end loader, brush hog, box blade and post hole digger because I wanted to replace a Farmall B which was breaking down because of its age. After buying the John Deere 4600 4 drive wheel we spend more time trying to keep it going. We have had hydraulic problems, the wiring ,instruments and the 4 wheel drive are no good. Within 10 hrs the front wheel attachment 12mm bolts worked loose and broke off.

I contacted the dealer and they too busy check it out. They said it would be at least two weeks. I call and can never talk to anyone, they will call back, yet to hear from them.
I tried to contact John Deere factory, No luck.

The 16 ,12mm bolt is attached to the block, It holds the brackets that the 4 drive is mounted on with the 4 wheel drive gear box. Therefore all the weight and torque is on these bolts. They will fail that is to much to expect from the 12mm bolts. Additional framing to support the 4 wheel drive is needed.

Does anyone have any feedback on the BL4690 Kubota backhoe? I'm in the market for either this model or the Woods 7500 for my 1987 Kubota L2850 and there are many positive remarks about the Woods but not much discussion on the smaller Kubota models. The Woods would mount via a subframe while the Kubota uses the 3point hitch. I'm told that there is no special ROPS for the L2850 -although mine might be tall enough to be considered safe. Has anyone experienced issues with the 3p setup? Will it strain the tractor hitch if extended loader operations are performed while the bhoe is attached? Any help appreciated!

I have been using a Cub Cadet 7195 for 4 years in what could only be described as extremely severe duty. The tractor has the 60 inch belly mower with the aux lift kit. I mow about 6 to 10 acres, depending on how much moisture we have had, about once a week in summer months. The best way to describe it is, rocks covered with just enough clay and topsoil to support weeds! ! (Eastern Oklahoma Hill top! ) The tractor has performed far beyond my greatest expectations. The only major problems I have had have been with the deck. Woods makes a fine deck, but it will not stand up to severe rough terrain. The deck has had to be reinforced around the front caster mounting attachment points. Also, the deck gear box lost the output seal almost immediately. After replacement, I have had no more problems after approx 400 hours. The problem you are having with clogged radiator air intake is common. The main problem seems to not be the deck, but the angle of the engine exhaust. It blows out the left front, toward the ground, and tends to blow loose material up ahead of the tractor, which gets sucked into the air intakes. I removed the pipe, heated and re-bent the pipe to a more horizontal angle , and it seems to have improved the problem.
Another problem I have is front drive shaft rattle. This has been caused due to excessive front axle pivot pin wearing,( probably from running over rocks, ditches, and generally getting pounded to death when I am mowing), allowing the front axle to become unstable. The instability has then caused the driveshaft u-joints to wear excessively on their splines, allowing the driveshaft and guard sleeve to contact the bottom of the engine housing. it tends to go away in 4 wheel drive because the front axle tries to run ever so slightly faster than the rear, causing the front axle to rotate enough to pull the drive shaft down away from the housing. I think I will make the remedy for this a "Winter project".
All in all though.. I have nothing but praise for these little tractors. Like I said, my application is almost beyond belief, and the tractor is push to the extreme. When not being pounded to death mowing, i have the loader and a 5 foot box blade on it, maintaining a 1500 foot driveway, and general landscape work around the house. The front loader consistently gets loaded heavy enough that the tractor would tip over if it werent for the box blade acting as a counter weight.(more front axle pivot wear! )
Like I said, They are an excellent machine, and should NEVER be considered a toy. I have a Ford 3400 industrial with front loader, and I will use the cub instead of the much larger Ford much of the time simply because it is so much faster and more nimble. It only moves half as much as the Ford, but it does it 3 times as fast !

Woodie, try your local welding and or fabication shop. I have a really good one in my area and you probably have one too. Some times, I just tell them what I want and other times I draw a working print on the computer for them. If you really want it to fit good, take your tractor and the weights to them for fitting. My shop just charges $30 an hour plus materials.
