Topic

I purchased a Kubota BX2200 in late July 2000. The tractor has been back to the dealer 3 times. The 1st problem was a small diesel tank leaking. This tank is located under the frame on left side and holds about 1 pint of fuel. The second problem was a leaking valve that was installed by dealer to operate the front end loader. The tractor now will lose power when mowing. Tractor has 9 hours on it. The engine will die or almost die before picking up speed again. This happened about 6 times in 45 minutes. Anyone having similar problems please respond. Thank you

Funny you should ask that, cause I was thinking the same thing. My daughter is into Highland dancing and we travel to Canada at least twice a year to competitions so I keep my eye out for attachments. I have only researched the tax issue and it looks as if agriculture items are tax exempt. (duty free?) The part I haven't looked into is the model/country differances in the tractors themselves. Is a USA B2710 the identical to the Canadian B2710? 4200? TC33? Try the web site below although it's kinda confusing unless you can translate government babble into realworld explinations. Good luck and let us know what you find out. The exchange rate at the bridge was 49% and 46% that last two times over.

Brad, I used my tractor last year for plowing snow with my backblade. Not an ideal setup but affordable. At times I had 4 ft drifts in my driveway and although the tractor cleared it it was a chore. A lot of spinning even with differential lock. I bought the chains and they have to help. We'll see.

Barry, click on the link below to look it up at tractortips.com, but I know nothing of their source of information or accuracy. They say it's a 27.36 PTO hp with a 105 cu. in. 3-cylinder Yanmar engine. If that's true, I'd say it would probably handle the 7' mower, but it might be marginal.

glenn, i'm in a similar situation. got a quote for a 790 and wanted to get the "smaller" ag tires so i could get chains on them without taking the fenders off. when i went to order, the dealer told me that JD no longer offers the tractor with the "smaller" ag tires (evidently not enough people were ordering them). anyone know if this is the case? we live in the hills of western maryland and i have trouble getting my old IH up (and down) the lane plowing snow without chains. dealer said i could run chains on just the front with no damage to the driveline. would appreciate any knowledge about this as i know about nothing about these 4wd compacts. if anyone is running a 790 with a front mount 59 inch JD blower would appreciate any comments.

Tom, you aren't thinking about keeping the one that has gone through two and now going for three transmissions already are you?? So that leaves some sort of deal with JD. As far as I know, there are no rules here.... Like horsetrading. First thing I would do is to see what he is offering per hour. If a reasonable lifetime for a tractor is 5,000 hours, then you have used up about three percent of that....So on a 20K tractor that is $600 you owe. Hard to argue with those kind of facts. You seem to be in a good position here. Hope JD comes through for you. They seem to be trying hard to retain customer loyalty.

White's were sometimes called White-Isekes. They are labeled that way in one of my Farm Equipment Manufactures Association books. i guess White was one of the few companies that wasn't trying to hide who made their tractors.

Fireman (personally I'm a retired cop), whew, you're asking for a lot of information. I've used a lot of tractors, but don't have a backhoe, but I'll try to give you a little of nothing more than personal opinion. First, the B7500 will do the job, but the bigger the tractor, the faster you'll get the job done. I'd suggest you at least look at the B21 or L35 (specifically made for the backhoe), or the B2710 (which I have, after having had a B7100 for 4 years) or the B2910. Secondly, there are a lot of 3-point backhoes and people who like them, but if you research the messages on this , I think you'll find that a sub-frame mounted hoe is far safer and more durable. Thirdly, for tires, get the R4 (industrial) tires; more durable and better traction than turf tires. Fourth, engine block heater? Is it going to be stored indoors or out? I have no use for one in Texas, but might be a good idea in Ohio. Fifth, for a trailer, first choice would be the 16' tandem axle with brakes for safety, durability, etc., although it is possible to use a smaller one. Sixth, for implements; if you're going to be moving much dirt, smoothing, leveling, etc., I think a box blade is indispensable. If you're going to prepare seed beds, the tiller is great. I also use a 3-point finish mower on the yard, a brush hog elsewhere for mowing, a box blade, a moldboard plow, a double buster, and a cultivator. No way would I try to have a 9K sq. ft. vegetable garden without my tiller. If you have a backhoe, then you can dig the holes for planting trees, shrubs, etc. without a post hole auger, but if you're going to do much fence building, they're a fine implement. I don't have one, but have a cousin and a neighbor who do, so I know where to get one when I need it. Good luck with your shopping, and lots of us will be glad to try to help with any other specific questions.<br>

One thing I should have included in my previous message was that the distance between the lower hooks of the Land Pride quick hitch (27 1/2 inches) was of primary importance. I could not have used a quick hitch with a distance of 20 inches with my John Deere Model 413 shredder or my Bush Hog 4 foot finish mower. The pins on both require a space of at least 27 inches. I really felt that my only choice was the Land Pride hitch, even though it was much more expensive.

Thomas,
I have been scratching my head about this one myself. I have toyed with using a smaller auger say 6 to 9", I have a 12", some schedule 40 pipe I suppose 1 1/2" pipe cut in 5' sections with couplings and bacically auger down the 20 or so feet. My thoughts are that I would have to pull the auger after each 5' section to clear the hole.
Back to your idea, how would you propose to remove your auger point after you have reached 25'. Would you pull everything back out again and then set your casing? Curious to hear your thoughts and anyone else's.

I think from an operational viewpoint...I would probably side with the 4100 HST...smaller in size/weight..and I think would be easier to get around all the trees and shrubs on the lawn......and as for tilling...this would be for an established garden..nice well worked soil....not for sod busting....so I am hoping I can get by with the 60 inch tiller...I realize I am kinda going about it backwards,,,,buying tractor to match implements...but..when someone says...here..take this 60 inch JD tiller for free !! well...what can I say..I guess if I don't try to bust sod..or till hard packed clay...hopefully ..it will work......
on another topic....does the fact that the 4100 has indirect injection as opposed to direct injection on the 790.....mean anything significant?????
harder starting or not as good fuel consumption...don't know much at all about diesel motors.....from these small tractors....

I use the ball on the drawbar too. I have a solid drawbar mounted to the fram with a little 1 7/8 ball for my small trailer and then have a 2 5/16 ball on my 3 pt. drawbar for my big flatbed and my horse trailer. Just back up and raise it and go. Works nice. I have a little clamp I got at Kubota to keep the 3 pt. drawbar from rotating.

Run it open. Diesels need the heat and low rpms for extended times can hurt. The fuel will not burn completely and was down the cylinder walls. This is why I also have an idle controller in my diesel pickup so when I idle for more than ten minutes say with the A/C or heat on I bump my idle up to 1200rpm from 680 normal idle to help combustion and maintain engine life.

My local TSC does not carry King Kutter yet. I hope they do. I have a 5 foot rotary, 5 foot 3 pt finish and a 3 pt dirt scoop (parked that when I got my loader) all from King Kutter and bought a Quality Farm and Fleet. Good prices and I have not broken anything yet. Rotary is 4 years old, finish is 1 year and scoop is 3 years. I saved a lot of money over major brands and so far it has been a good idea. Attached is picture with bush hog on my B2150. New B2910 coming today!!!

Bob,

There are several companies that make rear PTO driven snow blowers. Try a Internet search, (I prefer Google.com).
I recommend a loader snow blade with overload springs such as the Curtis design at www.curtiscab.com.
The main advantage of a snow blower is that the snow is discharged far enough away from the driveway or walkway that it does not have to be moved again.
Also, I used my snowblower to clear large amounts of snow without the use of chains.

Kelly,
You ask a number of questions without giving enough information. First who manufactures this unit? What model number? Horsepower, 2WD or 4WD? Is it a lawn/garden tractor or tractor? You mention hydraulic tiller, so do I assume this unit has no pto? Anyway, if you could fill in the blanks we maybe able to help.

Well I knew I could expect good advice and I got it. Now you guys have given me something else to think about. As Roger and Jim had mentioned and I did know but never really consider, was use of vegetation for erosion control. I never really considered a low growing plant, I only see weeds that grow 24" seemingly overnite.
Murf, thank you for the calcium chloride idea, I suspected I needed to mix something in with the oodles of clay I own.
Mike, I do have a dip but need to incorporate some additional spots to relieve some water from the road. Currently the road is crowned with a ditch to one side, however, it still has some lengthy staight runs at a fairly steep grade. I will try to break this up with something on the order of a gravel covered french drain.

Again, thanks for all the ideas, and of course if anyone else or Murf, Roger or Mike have others ideas by all means chip in.
