Paul, hydraulic cylinder speed is strictly a function of flow rating. A 4 inch cylinder will extend at the rate of 18 inches a minute times the gpm of your machine (18 times 8 gpm flow = 144 inches per minute). They retract faster depending on the cylinder size. A 5 inch cylinder extends at 12 inches per minute times flow rate. I guess if your tractor hydraulics are up to specs you could compare the the speeds of cylinder movement against the PTO pump rating of flow. Keep in mind a PTO pump rated at 10 GPM and 2500 PSI will need about 17 PTO hp, increase the pump to 15 gpm and 2500 PSI requires 26 hp. I have most of my hydraulic experience through the school of hard luck until I read a set of manuals titled "Industrial Fluid Power" vols 1-3 that I bought from the Surplus center catalog.

Just received and installed my new rear tire chains. I now have them on all four wheels. WHAT A DIFFERENCE. I can't believe how bad those R4's were in the snow without them, the machine idles through the greasy stuf now. I can't wait for the dealer to deliver my new Curtis plow. Let it snow!!

The thread about loaders was great, so let's see if we can do as welll with backhoes. I'll be getting both when I get my compact this spring and it would be helpful to get some feedback about hoes as well. So can anyone let us know about there experience with their backhoes and is there anything they would have done or wanted different.

Can anyone tell me for sure what snow plows will fit on a JD445? I have heard some conflicting stories on this topic. I am in need of a used plow if anyone has one for sale. Prefer 54" all hydraulic<br>

I re-read your original post. I have a 476 loader and it is somewhat different. My only attachment point is the big bracket where the pins are. My directions might still work.....

As far as I know, all of the scrapers simply drag the dirt over the ground. The bottom of the scraper is open. By the time you get to where you are going you will either have no dirt or lots of fresh dirt. What you won't have is the dirt that you started with. No scraper will lift the dirt up and carry it like you want. A 3 point rear scoop is an economical tool and will pick up dirt up and carry it, but it won't do the leveling when you get there.
The only answer that I know if is a front end loader. They will do both jobs but it takes a while. I hope that someone else has a better idea.

Sounds like a great price to me. Maybe location is a factor. I live in Northern VA and shopped 3 JD dealers that are in my area. I paid $17,300 delivered with tax. This was for a new 4100, automatic transmision with 410 loader, turf tires with ballast and 60" belly mower. This was the best price I could get.

Kevin, check back with your dealer. I was under the impression that part of the cab setup included a method of trapping the hot air that has blown over your engine; that air heats up your cab. As a matter of fact (I'm not able to look at my parts manual right now) I think you'll find that you'll need to remove some stuff in the summer :-)

Joe, I have a 20hp towable made by DR ( Country Home Products).It is rated at 4". Over 3 or 4 " is good firewood and Keeps tractor freed up. Prior posts have mentioned that ratings are relative to several factors, ie: hyd feeds. Mine is manual and works very well. Bird is right that 1 to 2" is easily handled by almost anything. DR will send you a comprehensive video on all thier products, I have several and recomend them for price and quality and service.

Paul, you can get the filters you need for your 184 by buying filters for a Massey Ferguson MF205. They were built by Toyosha/Hinomoto and used the same engine. Really the only mechanical difference was the rear end and it did not have live PTO. I really like the looks of the 182 and 184, the 205 is butt ugly next to a 184.

I am coming up on the scheduled 300 hr. hydraulic oil change for my TC 33D. I am thinking of going with synthetic oil to try and alleviate the cold weather squealing and general sluggishness, also to help with hydrostatic smoothness.Has anyone done this and has it helped? Have you had any problems? Leaking seals is the only bad scenario Iv'e heard about. Thanks for your input.

Murf: I too contacted the company about the zirc problem when it was still Allied/FarmKing. I was happy with the tech response I got from a design engineer. However, my contact apparently didn't connect with the idea that the zircs used in production should be changed. Actually, I thought the previous owner of my tractor installed the 90-degree zircs for some obscure reason. I suppose I'm also happy to know that my lack of down-pressure probably comes from my too tall tractor rather than my too short loader. The lack of down pressure with a flat bucket isn't really much of a problem. I angle the bucket down a bit when compacting gravel, and I use a box scraper for shallow excavations. I do believe that loaders are best for dealing with gravel etc., while digging and material handling are best left to other implements. Maybe that's a reason I have no complaints about the loader. I mostly use it for what it's actually designed to do well.

A veternarian friend of mine sold hundreds of cow magnets (a 3/4" by 4" smooth magnet that you run through a cow's gastrointestinal tract to pick up hardware they've ingested- they are pretty strong & cost about 3 or 4 bucks) Farmers would place them next to the fuel lines in their vehicles.They only work if you can't calculate MPG.Test the theory out with these then give the pair to a seven year old kid- he'll think he died and went to heaven.

Well, My dealer is going to mount up a GB220 loader on a JD4100 and let me compare to another 4100 with the 410 loader. He says I can operate both of them and test them out on the dirtpile and detatch and attach both models. Pretty good dealer to work with. I'll do this next week and then post my thoughts.

Started her up when it was about 55. I think the warm weather helped.
I still had to jump her so I suspect I may need to charge/replace my battery.
Thanks for everyone's advice and support.
I'm sure I'll have another stupid question down the road but I will keep trying to learn from others.
I really have enjoyed this site!

I'd like to thank everyone for their help and recommendations from last year when I posted asking for advice on the purchase of a tiller for my B2400. I took delivery last week of a Kuhn EL32/130, 50" tiller and so far I love it. This is a lot easier than fighting with that 25 year old Troybilt. I turned over last years garden in about 15 minutes. Since then I've made the first pass on approximately another acre. The only problems I can forsee is being able to afford all the seed for the larger garden and running out of ground to turn over. Still, I do have a 10 acre pasture that could use some renovation. I wonder how well it'll work on steep hills? <br>has anyone done any contract tilling and is there a market for it?
