Thanks for your reply. I get it. In the subject line, Won't needs to be spelled wont without '. Not a problem. It will just appear that I use poor grammer. I can live with that. Thanks.

Thanks to all for the insight and responses. You have given me several things to think about that make a lot of sense. Thanks again.

I face the same thing regarding size. We have a house and a nearby camp--both are nearly 2 acres. My wife thinks my Ford 1710 is too big and gets in the way at the house, and I do mow with a riding mower, because the 1710 would take too long maneuvering around landscaping. However, I needed a backhoe when I bought the tractor, and hoes that can trench 5'+ aren't great on a small tractor. I also found that it's very handy to be able to lift 1000#+ on my pallet forks.<br>
<br>
The BX sounds like a great tractor for the uses described I defended the BX, because his main interest was mowing. I have to drive carefully on the lawn with my 1710 for a few days after rains, and I wouldn’t have that trouble with a BX. One thing to keep in mind about the BX is that it has a CAT 1 hitch, but the arms are spaced closer than most. Some CAT 1 implements won't fit on a BX.<br>
<br>
It's also a good thing to keep in mind that many peoples' tractoring keeps growing. We’re trying to lease 14 acres of river front flood plane from a utility. If we get it, we'll have to take down a bunch of widow makers the beavers have made--I'll need the 1710. I can't imagine what it's like to be a beaver. Spend all that time chewing down a 14" poplar for dinner and then have it hang up instead of falling down.<br>

Harvey,
Thanks for the suggestions.I have some old chains and I think it is time to improvise and save some money,I like the idea of welding the bolts on for the x pieces. I sure think this is worth a try.

Thanks again

Reply to TomG. Thanks for you reply to my question. My father-in-law had the dealer come and haul it in. He's been having some trouble with his 4x4 too, (the second time!) so it needed to go in.Webmaster: I have the same problem as Tom. I can't reply to posted messages. I've been able to in the past, this is something that just started. I haven't change any setting in my computer so? Any suggestions?

I was wrong. The price dif between the 7500 and 2710 isn't very big. 14,4 sounds like a great price.

there should be no problems with tilling with turf tires. Take your time when making the first pass so not to break blades if you do have some shale coming up but that is normally brittle and tends to break easily compared to other rocks. The clay can be very slippery when wet and will definitely fill the tires, but that is not the time to be tilling!

I have heard good things about the MF 1233. I personally own a MF 1250. I put over 600 hours on it the first year. It has been a very good tractor that I would buy again. I also got a better price on it than I could on NH, Kubota or JD. The engine is made by "Iseki". They have been building engines since 1962.

Larry; If you wouldn't mind, could you please tell me the problems you had with your 4100. What year was it and was it gear or hydro? I have a 4100 hydro and I would be interested hearing.

Hello everyone; I contacted the JD rep today. Got right through with no problem. As I thought I didn't really find out anything but they did file a case number to the serial number of the tractor and for myself to file. In the event I have problems in the future (in or out of warranty), I may have some recourse to act on. They did tell me that the metal shavings I sent through the Satisfaction First Program would be reviewed and I would be contacted. I feel better knowing JD acts like they care but In response to todays replys
(1-29)I cannot argue with the fact that metal shavings are metal shavings and regardless of normal or not, that doesn't make it right. Should that transmission ever fail, regardless of the reason, I will always think about those metal shavings I found while doing the right thing by changing my fluids before the manufactures recommendations.

Murf,
Do you have any experience with the Eversman carryall scaper?
There is not get enough info on their web page: see Arts's-way.
The difficulty in finding a suitable dirt pan for our compact tractors, is unbelieveable.
BTW: Tri-Tech will make a decision wether or not to restart their AG Prodcut line within the next two weeks. So if anyone is interested, a nice email to Tom Donald at Tri-Tech would be appreciated.

Thanks for the info Tom. After doing a little research, I believe I will need a bigger unit. By the time I buy new Ag tires and wheels,etc., I would have close to 9 grand in this older Ford 1510. I think I will check around and look at the JD 790 and the Kubota L3000. I know they are very expensive but they seem to hold their resale value and they have plenty of "beef" to do all the work that I will be doing. Thanks again for replying to my post.

DFB, my opinion, based on twenty-one years in manufacturing engineering is yes. Regardless of who builds the machine, this condition is a problem that should not be ignored or glossed over. The only stuff that should be in the box is the approved fluid and parts. Sooner or later, metal debris will cause a failure from gear tooth lash/lockage or unwanted bearing friction. How much later is the question, this would not be good if it happens after the warranty is up. I wouldn't throw the baby out with the bath water though, I'd demand the strip down and flushing of the assembly, from my experience this is the only way to be sure. Good Luck and I sincerely hope all turns out well.
