Dave, if you can't find a Kubota loader, I think that the Great Bend GB220 loader will fit. But it's not compatable with a mid-mount mower. Look at www.greatbendmfg.com

Gary, I'm glad that you are pleased & sure with your choice & that you didn't say anything negative about other brands. That TC line does really look like a great setup. I do not like my seatbelts on my 33 either...

Randy, I also have a JD 790, 4wd. I bought it new from a dealer. It does not have anything in these holes. I don't have any indication of anything leaking out. I only have about 20 hours on the tractor. Keep us posted on what you find out. John.

The trucks are 1970s vintage Chevrolet 4x4 K10 pickups. There are two - his and hers - my '70 is red and white, her '72 is green and white. The car is a '97 Toyota LC FJ80 which alternates in warm weather an old beat up motorcycle, a '67 R60 Earles style BMW.

We grow BoxWoods. Before we till the ground with a tractor mounted tiller, we remover the sod with a 2 yard track loader. This saves lots of tiller time & wear & tear on the tiller. Doing an area 75x75', it still takes a while using the track loader & all we remove is the sod. We did the samething when we built our shop. As for the drains - Yes! put them in the gravel. Use stakes to hold PVC in place. Once the slab is done you don't want to mess with it.

Gary--I well understand your enthusiasm about your new TC35 and having a special form for the series 3 Boomers (I am considering trading for a TC40D). However, the Webmaster does an outstanding job on this compact tractor bulletinboard and there are also no special message forums for JD4600's or JD4700's either, nor are there any for the larger Kubotas. IF I owned a series 3 Boomer, I would rather read postings in the same message forum where they are posted now. Mike S.

I guess you could get used to the lack of position control. For mowing with the bush hog it wouldn't matter, but I would want it for blading. I'm sure I could do about the same work without it, although it would be less convenient. It must be some sort of a trade off....though I cannot figure out what they are trading it for?
I wonder why that a tractor would be offered without position control? Draft control I can understand....draft control adds some parts and complexity. But position control? Where is the advantage in leaving it off? Was the designer not smart enough to figure one out? That can't be it; they have it on other models. Did he/she forget to add that feature? Oddly enough, I find this to be more likely - that it was just overlooked during design by engineers who don't drive tractors. Like telescoping 3pt arms, we aren't talking rocket science or major expense here. Or maybe position contol is going to be an "value added" option on this tractor? The determining components between position control and the "center-off" control are all external and live in the 3pt valve housing, so adding position control as an option is not impossible. Those interested might want to ask Kubota if they would offer this.
Pardon my rant; but I don't think position control has ever been a bad thing - and it has been standard on tractors of all sizes for over half a century. Sheesh! Sometimes the workings of the world just amaze me.
But be that as it may, the Kubota is known to be a fine tractor. I'm not going to slam them for experimenting with features. But if we don't speak up about what we want on our tractors we are going to end up driving 3 speed, 2wd, draw bar tricycles.....again.

Yeah Jeff. I think we all remember those sorts of lessons--fortunately puppyhood doesn't last too long--at least for those who learn the lessons. We're in the Upper Ottawa Valley, probably not far away. Cold and open tractors I understand. Twenty miles? I get enough lessons snow blowing 300' of drive in a wind. Bird's growing season is what's hard to understand when you're still looking at ice fishing huts on the river for another 5 or 6 weeks.

I'm aboout to make the plunge into the NH world.
I've decided on the tc35 for all the really cool features and size and power. I've got one offer for 18,500 with the loader 72" bucket and the grill guard(not standard) and loaded R4's. The cup holder didn't impress me too much, but it was good to see someone was thinking about us. What they designed into the cup holder they took away with the seat belt! The whole time I was driving it in the parking lot, so I opted not to put the SB on, the thing was banging up against the side of the tractor and the other(right side) was floping all over the place. That'l' be the first thing I do to it, is git ride of those and put in some spring loaded one like Kubota's.

Experiences are different, and as always, there are many ways to get the same thing done. For myself, I never had much luck grading with a loader, but then I was new to tractors when I was trying it. Going forward, I ended up gouging out as many dips as I was curing while trying to cut in position control. In float, the light bucket would ride up over most things I wanted to cut or would just dig in. I don't think I ever got the hang of controlling the cutting action with the curl. I'm probably a little better with the bucket now, and of course, I did find that spreading and cutting by back-dragging the bucket works pretty well. By the same token, I didn't find the box very useful until I got the hydraulic top-link. I spent most of my time hopping on and off the tractor to adjust the manual top-link. It took me a little time, but now I control the box's action almost entirely with the top-link. I may limit the 3ph float sometimes to ride over a serious dip, or lift the box to cut a serious bump, but not very often. Most times, using the top-link to control the box works OK. To me, the main advantage of a box is the ability to go from cut, to drag, to spread on the fly with just a few top-link adjustments. I never figured out how to do that with a loader without making several passes. I do use the loader to carry material, rather than drag it very far. I also back-drag the bucket sometimes for spreading (float) or compacting (down-pressure) gravel. I also use the box for these things. Sometimes one seems better and sometimes the other. There is something of an art to doing these things, and everybody develops their own style. For me, I'm just happy to have two tools that can move earth on the tractor at the same time so I can be artsy and pick and choose. Of course, if I had Roger’s fancy back-blade, I’d be even happier. I could cut crowns on drives without using my manual side-leveler.

I have sandy soil and saw palmettos. I want the palmettos OUT. I want to hear them scream.<br>(After you dig them out and try to burn them they are rude enough to SPROUT !!)I am thinking on a Boomer with loader and backhoe. What size Boomer and implements would ya'll suggest? How much is this going to bite my wallet? I'm in central Florida. I also want a blade, rotary mower and post hole digger.Thanks.

Why do they call all of them Bush Hogs? For the same reason my Mother calls all motorhomes Winnebagos. LOL Bush Hog is a brand name. It seems that the most common "generic" name is "rotary cutter"; however, they are better known in my part of the country as "brush hogs" or "shredders".

Yes, the B7500 has only a high and low range... To tell you the truth you couldn't hardly feel the "jerk" in low range, but it was pretty significant in high range. The only way you really felt it in low range was if you were pulling a load. It was also more pronouced when the ambient temp got down around 20 or 30 degrees. I am sure Kubota is aware of this little glitch... if you dig deep enough you'll find info about it like I did... I wonder if someday they will offer a new set of valves that will actually be able to do what the original ones were intended to do. I doubt it... I don't think it is a common enough problem, nor is it damaging to the tractor in any way.

Jchambers, I have a 4100 and initially was also looking for a disk. They do make them in sizes that would work for the 4100. BUT, from my research I found out that these smaller, lighter discs are not all that functional and require repeated passes to work. I bought a 52" rototiller instead. This is the answer -it just tears through hard ground like nothing. I normally use a 14" one bottom moldboard plow first, then rototill. As to the aftermarket mower. I assume you're referring to a mid-mount. Woods makes mid-mounts to fit most tractors, but they are not any cheaper than the JD brand, so I don't see any advantage to them. The only way to save money on a mower is to go to a 3 point mower. Those are about 1/3 cheaper than a mid-mount.

I am pretty sure you are right about the pumps tomg. The pump for the power steering and the lift arms is located on the engine itself, while the pump for the hydrostatic trans. is in the tranny. Proof is in the fact that you can press the clutch in, and still have your power steering and 3pt hitch, but try and move the tractor and your gonna say right where you are. I also think that the FEL runs off the same pump as the steering and 3pt. I would double check for a screen somewhere on the transmission... I don't know alot about your model of tractor, but my guess is that there is one there somewhere.
