The manuals are available from your dealer, if he will not get them go somewhere else, unless you have a grey market tractor? The mower deck ---lift the deck to it's highest position and turn the knob down below the seat to the lock position and then put the deck lift control lever to down and the deck will drop to a locked position, the control lever should spring back to neutral. Lift the deck back up to relaease and turn knob back to a height setting for cutting Grease all points regularly is all I do, ck oil level in the gear box and change seasonaly or every 50 hours should be fine. Adjust the anti scalp wheels so that they have about 1/2 inch clearnace or so on level ground. The loader, grease after use and keep cylinder clean as possible. Welcome to the Kubota BX world, the finest mini tractor on the planet. I love mine and so do all my neigbors when they see it mow smoothly through high grasss that chokes their 25 horse Command Kohler garden tractors to a halt and does not rut up the yard like heavier full size compacts. Good luck with yours.

I agree with Todd and Roger on this. I think that something like the Kubota B2710 would be ideal. I have a B2400 that I use to mow a 2-1/2 acre garden and a 10 acre pasture with slopes like yours. For me it is almost perfect with more than enough power for the lawn and tilling the veggie garden and things but it has barely has enough power to handle the slopes in the pasture with the front end loader attached and the rotary cutter working. You'll find running on those 15 degree slopes to be a puckering experience, I know I did, and you have to be very careful at all times. Handling those slopes might be the deciding factor on which machine to get. I think if I was starting from scratch again I might give more serious consideration to the Steiner or Ventrac machines if you have a dealer near you. They have a lower center of gravity and with double wheels should be a lot safer on the slopes. They are a little bit different from the normal tractor and implement availability and cost would be a concern, but hey, there's nothing wrong with different and they might suit your purpose. I only mention this because I think you should check out all the possibilities before you decide.

I had a good friend who was getting out of the part-time farming business. When I was over there I looked at his Belarus with a view of moving up to a bigger tractor but he refused to even discuss selling it to me. He said he was really glad he didn't get rid of his old, old MF because he had trouble keeping the Belarus working and that it was a really hard machine to sit on all day because it was so rough to ride and operate. I didn't go into too many details but his general opinion of the Belarus was not good. I don't know if this second hand opinion will help much. They are a lot less expensive and if you don't stress them too much they will probably do the job but this may be one of those times that you do get what you pay for.

I use a Befco, 60", C50 series rear discharge mower and can't complain about its performance. I had a problem with it windrowing the grass cuttings when it got too wet or tall but I installed a mulching kit and that cured it. It did mean that I had to mow a little slower than I did before but not too much. On the whole, I've been happy with it but my experience with other makes and models is limited.

There might be a liability issue on those tractors as to why they don't offer them here. You should check Sims cabs as well as Laurin. Sims builds cabs like Curtis as well as some with rops built in for some tractors. Laurin builds rops replacement cabs and offer full featured cabs.

Of course a 70 loader is included. I don't know what I was thinking. I guess I am so upset about selling my toy, I lost my mind. :(.

And the hours are 94hours exactly.

There's a NH dealer in Northern Ontario that has a specialty converting tractors into tracked groomers for snowmobile trails. Wonder if it's the same sort of conversion. They are pretty impressive looking rigs, and I understand that similar setups are sometimes used agriculturally in wet areas. One of the groomers parks about a mile down the highway. I haven't expressed too much interest in it, because I might find myself driving it at 3am (well, that might not be such a bad thing--have to think about it though). I haven't looked at it closely enough to know if it the steering is from a steering wheel or two break levers.

Good suggestion. I've got to get a pressure gauge myself. I guess these 'extra' relief valves are in the cylinder sides, rather than, the open centre side of the system. I understand they are intended to provide safety against load shock when the control valve is closed. Most 3ph's have a relief valve as well, and I believe mine is set at over 3,000 lbs, which is greater than the system relief valve setting. I haven't thought it through, but how to test relief valves that are supposed to be set higher than the system relief setting isn't obvious. It might be interesting to figure this one out.

Cutter,

Do you have a digital camera so you could take a couple pitures for me? I am building my own, and am looking at how the plows attach to the frame to allow tripping and adjustment for angle of the plow(contact angle with ground, not the right-left-straight angle). I would GREATLY appreciate it if you could.

Cherokee: simple, boxier, good vehicle. I bought a 94, have a 160,000 miles on it, no major repairs and still going strong. (Gotta love those I-6's)

Grand Cherokee: Cushier, more refined, better ride. Other than that, I think the powertrain is the same.

If you want a Cherokee, jump now. 2001 is the last year for them! They are being replaced by the Liberty, which I think is pretty funny looking. More like a Rav 4 looking thing, kind of.

Feel free to email me if you want to ask more!

I have a Koyker 150 loader on my Cub 7260. I have about 225 hours on the tractor, and the loader has never been off of it. I've had no problems at all with the loader.

Keith, I bought a JD 4300 last year with a front-end loader and a brush hog> I bought a 18' trailer thinking that I would rather have too much trailer rather than not enough. The first time I loaded the tractor with the brush hog attached I found out that I filled up the entire trailer. I recommend you take a tape measure with you and go measure the length of the tractor with the longest attachments you think you will ever have.

If anyone is using this setup, can you post or email pictures of it. I am building something and would like to see more detail than what is shown on the website. I have the basics down, but could use a little clarity. Thanks in advance if there are any takers!

Morning Bob I do not like to try and pull much snow forward either. The rear blade will clean right down throught your tracks but with any amount of snow they tend to load up. You'll spend a lot of time going over what you did recleaning it. You did not say how big a tractor or bucket you have. So I'll shoot from the hip. You can increase the size of your bucket with some bolt on wings for snow or bulk material (sawdust, chips etc). Make them as wide as you need. You could order an aftermarket blade for your loader also. I'll still bet what you have is 10X better than the old shovel.

GWS, count me as another ground engaging JD 4100 fan. My box scraper is about 450 lbs., (usually with scarifiers down at the start of a job). It also handles a post hole digger w/ 12" auger, a middle buster (with various flyers and furrows attached). The furrows are used for laying pipe and plowing. But I'm still shopping for the perfect tiller and rock rake. I've moved tons of earth and rock with the loader and box. My 3pt mower is a flail mower/shredder weighing around 650 lbs. The 4100 seems perfect for me, although you should evaluate all the great machines against your needs. My only Deere implement is the loader. Best of luck. JonB

I had a 955 ( w/7A loader) for 8 years. loved it, neat toy. I bought a 4400HST. I didn't like the idea of the tractor being so much larger, and heavier. The 4400 is so much stronger and very maneuverable that the 955 is a waste of time when it comes to moving dirt.

I find that the difference in the two terms boils down to the amount of time and parts are required to get to the bottom of the problem. Auto's like tractors have gotten more complex. I enjoy working on some parts of them, do to my education being in the late 60's I don't know about the spagetti when you open the hood. I could experiment with it and learn more about the system as to why this does that and why but I have little need to. I have a friend that does that type of work but he doesn't enjoy getting his hands dirty so after he finishes getting that out of my way than I work on the engine. Often when you talk to the right person they will be able to tell you exactly what areas need to be looked at in order to fix the problem. That eliminates them from needing to experiment with your equipment because at the schools they were trained in ways to properly repair that piece of equipment. So many times I've heard about a mechanic who has tried to fix something several times but can't seem to put a finger on it, two three times back to the shop and the bills are still coming and with no results. That is the difference, I've been on both sides and give me the tech for those moments, otherwise a mechanic can be a great friend.
