Topic

I have a 1990/later Kubota B7100HST-D. While reading thru my operator/owner's manual on page 12, the topic of Directional Control Valve pops up. Anyone out there have any experienced of its use? I am considering hooking up a 'tilt and trim' cylinders for my box scraper. Any thoughts about 'tilt and trim' ?

I am rather surprised that the code would not allow a leach pit, since in every jurisdiction I can find a 'pit privy', an outhouse to everyone else, is perfectly legal. BTW, I forgot to mention that in a lot of areas the most populr way to deal with holding tank is to dig the hole and form it into the buildings footings and floor directly below the washroom, with a 'clean-out' in the floor of the washroom itself. This way the yard does not need to be disturbed, snow plowed, or any digging done in order to get the line in to pump out the tank when full. Most of these installations incorporate an indicator, usually a float type guage, to let you when it's time for a pump-out. Best of luck.

Glen, when I was looking less than a year ago a 790 with MFWD, SCV, and Trurf tires was between $16000 and $16500 Cdn ($10660 US).
Jeff, were you quoted a price for a 790 with the MFWD option?

An overrunning PTO clutch is a device that allows the PTO output shaft to turn faster than it's being driven by the engine. The clutch comes into play when using something like a big rotary cutter. There is a lot of inertia in the cutter blades. If the engine rpm is cut, to slow down or stop for example, the cutter is still turning at PTO speed. Without a clutch, the cutter will tend to keep driving the tractor forward. Shifting also would be hard for the same reason. A clutch probably is more important on a gear tractor than a HST tractor.

Rick,
We have not had deep or heavy enough snow to be fair. I was a little surprised that the snow was not going far the first few times. Then we got about 4-5" and the snow went probably 10'. It is very important to fill the fan to really get the snow thrown. 60" covers my turf tires exactly... ag tires are even narrower. You do have to turn around to get to the chute rotation, but it is easy to use and easily accessed. My dealer says that for a mere $200 he can get the hydraulic chute rotation... I don't THINK so :-)

Daren, I have searched wide and far to answer the same question, hydro (TC45D) vs. gear (TC45), and was disappointed but not surprised to hear in your post yet another remark from a dealer, "the factory says.....", or somebody thinks...the hydro can handle discing, plowing, stump pulling, ag work, etc. I'd just like to find somebody on this board (and so would you and others I'm sure) who has actually in real life down on the farm done this kind of work with their TC45D, but apparently they are awfully shy. I'm resigning myself to the fact that I may have to lease a TC45D myself this spring to do what apparently nobody else has done: find out if a hydro can pull a light 6-foot disc (1000 pounds), do some cultivating, pull a grain drill, chisel some ground, pull some stumps, and have enough PTO power left after hydro drain to spin a half-way decent (tractor wide) tiller. I'll try it and let you know how things go. If the hydro burns up or the tractor runs an hour on a tank of diesel, no loss, I'll change the lease over to a TC45 or outright buy the gears. It wouldn't be such an issue for me if I was the only one driving the tractor, would just get gears. But would like to accomodate the wife with hydro. Practical real life info on the way....

RCH, Tom G., Rick B. I appreciate all the info. I purchased the 1910 yesterday for $9,500, and got them to throw in a used masters 5' finish mower. The tractor checked out good, and had been taken care of exceptionally. I did however take the 88' 1920 for a test drive, and after a closer look could tell the tractor had a hard life. As far as features I really couldn't find anything the 1920 had the 1910 didn't other than 4 cyl. and seperate pump for power steering. I am very happy with my purchase. The place that had the 1920 wouldn't bust at all on his price, and the tractor had 2000 hours instead of 1200. Something Ive noticed, is that Ford tractors really clean-up well, no matter what model you own. Its something about that blue paint. Again thanks for all the info.

I have a 4500 John Deere with folding ROPS and a Hard side Curtis Cab. The cab is great and both the ROPS and cab clear my 8'garage door. The cab is 6 to 8" I believe than the ROPS. JAL

That's good pricing on the 790. The SCV is primarily for the FEL. It puts a control arm on your right side, and 2 pairs of hydraulic connections towards the front of the tractor on the left side. Those connections could also be used for anything that mounts up front and needs hydraulics, e.g. a rotary broom, front mount snowblower (both of which require the mid-point PTO option). The "price fighter" is a marketing thing, not sale. It simply means a basic, few frills CUT that will get the job done and has very little markup from the dealer - so you probably won't be able to dicker on the price.

Hey fellas I just traded a 2000 TC29 for a 2001 TC35. The TC29 operated flawlessly and I hope the TC35 works out as well. Looking for feedback regarding the TC35. By the way I paid $11,900 for the 2000 TC29, and after calculating the trade-in and difference $14,400 for the 2001 TC35. Both units have the deluxe 3 pt., folding ROPS and R-4 tires. J.Dubbs

Daren,
That is really a great price! That is for the 'D' series, right? Other than the standard features for the 'D' series what exactly did your quote include? i.e. 4wd, type of tires, loaded tires, high-low loader joystick, type of loader (16LA), etc. Also could you provide me with a contact and location of the dealer. Your help would be greatly appreciated. take care.

CW,according to my JD Tractor book (1918-1994)
At the time they were tested at the Nebraska Test Center, the 1250,1450 and 1650 Tractors set nine records for fuel efficiency and lugging ability. The 1650 was the most fuel-efficient tractor ever tested, regardless of horsepower.
The 1450 ranked number one among "currently available" tractors in the 45-to 55-hp class.
In the category for 35-to 45-hp, the 1250 offered the greatest lugging ability at 80% of rated engine rpm among tractors tested at this time.
The 1250 was powered by a naturally-aspirated 143 cu.in.3-cylinder diesel engine, while a 190 cu.in.4-cylinder diesel powered the 1450 (naturally aspirated) and 1650 (turbocharged). All three models had 3-range sliding-gear collar-shift transmissions giving nine forward and three reverse speeds.
The 1250 was rated at 40.70 PTO hp, the 1450 at 51.39 PTO hp, and the 1650 at 62.22 PTO hp.
The 1250 Serial #s
1982........1001
1983........1256
1984........3001
1985........4001
1986........5001
1987........5501
1988........5785
The low proudction numbers explains why they are hard to find.
Hope this helps.

I have (or I should say had) the same problem with my JD4500 and 460 loader. I cut the joy stick off just above the offset in the shaft, threaded the end of the shaft and threaded the control knob back on---Problem solved. I also shortened the gearshift lever in a loke manner. I now have plenty of room in the operators station and at 6'4" the controls are in a natural position for me to reach. You would be amazed how this improves operator comfort and control.

Not knowing your location, what we have found to be excellent trees that will probably not reach the 20 ft. mark in a while are Black Hills Spruce. They make excellent windbreak trees. Short needles, very dense foliage to the ground level, and heat and cold tolerant. Cons: slower growing. Plant 5-6 ft. trees, wait 3 years and then they will take off pretty good. We average under irrigation at least 8 inches year minimum. Depends on soil type, and moisture.
Virginia Junipers may work well also, or Arborvitae, in shorter form. Techny or Pyrimidal Arborvitae are good. Just be cautious of cold north winds if less than Zone 4, can windburn.

I bought a JD 790 last spring and suffered the same battery terminal corrosion problem. I think it's caused by el-cheapo battery terminal connectors. I just replaced the connectors, cleaned everything up, put on a little grease and everything has been fine ever since.

Thanks for all the information. I ended up ordering an Erskine 600R. It is a 60" rear mounted blower with 18" 4-bladed fan. The blower was delivered tonight and it really does blow some snow! I tried it out in one of the remaining snow drifts and it really blasted the snow over a long distance. The blower weighs 500 lb, but pto power requirement is only 16 hp (minimum). It seems to be really heavy built and has a poly chute liner and adjustable skid shoes. Again thanks for all the good advise.

Hello and Happy New Year. I visited the Power-Trac facility on 12-27&28. This equipment is built tough and rugged and versatile. I would recommend that anyone considering the purchase of a compact tractor, an articulating tractor, heavy duty utility machine, whatever you want to call it, should take a serious look at PT. As was stated earlier, these machines are descendants of heavy duty deep mine equipment and the PT machines show it. I bought the PT-425 and received it today, 01-03-01. I can't wait for snow, grass, or whatever. The business is family owned and operated and employs around 40 people. They provided overnight accomodations, and about a two hour training session for my buddy and myself. IMHO the best value for a dollar. Talk to ya later.
