Do you guys that use the single bottom plow also use a disk later? Do you find you have no use for a tiller? In the old days my grandparents used to plow the garden with a Ford 8N and then disk it. There weren't any 3-point tillers back then don't guess. Their garden was very productive.

Is a tiller a necessity nowadays, or can you get by with the old tillage equipment? Or is the cost of high quality plows close to that of a tiller?

Dwight, I saw the Longs at the local Farm Show a few months ago. They were pretty purple, but they had a long way to go to the NH and Kubotas. The loader looked a little wacky and the engine didn't look too cool. I didn't get a price and I forget the model I was looking at, but they just didn't perk me up..

Thanks for all the suggestions and just wanted to let everyone know how I'm doing on the wildflower project. First, the field (East TN) was burned with the help of a local resident who had burned before. Then I rented a Kubota L3600 (35 hp 4WD gear-driven) and double 14" bottom plow and plowed about 1/2 acre. This was pasture land and as far as I know had never been plowed. Luckily, there were very few rocks. The dirt looked so good I rented a 4' tiller later the same day and tilled the 1/2 acre once. Then I broadcast spread about 2 lbs. of red poppy seed (mixed with sand) and rolled it with a water-filled 600 lb. yard roller. That was yesterday, and it is raining today, so mother nature is helping! Hope I'll have a field of flowers in a month or two to report on.

Don, I have a BX2200 with a snow blower. I recommend a snowblower for any 750' driveway that gets "real" snow. For most people the highest priority is a FEL on the BX2200. I don't know what it's like trying to plow (with a rear end blade) or snowblow (with a rear PTO snowblower) backwards, but it can't be easy. Fortunately, mine is front-mounted. I have a FEL on another tractor.

My BX2200 has turf tires (with weights). I didn't have any problems with the snow. My other Kubota has AG tires and it can really rip up the place if I'm not careful. At the very least, I always know where I've been.

Chris, you didn't tell us if you are going with the NH unit, or another manufacturer. Also, if the hoe is a sub-mount unit or a 3pt hitch type. Most dealers will make the installation for you if you buy the hoe from them. In any event you'll need to either tap into your power beyond hydraulic circuit, or if you choose, mount a pto driven pump kit. Neither of these are very difficult, however, I caution you about loosening and tightening any bolts related to your cast differential housing. Should you need to remove any to make your installation, if you don't have a torque wrench, rent a good one and find the specific torque value for each fastener you'll be working with. I also use Locktite liquid pipe thread sealant instead of teflon tape because I've had one bad experience with tape debris in the system. The only down side is it takes quite a while for the sealant to cure. Go slow and read all instructions ahead of time and you should be OK.

Don, sounds like a resonable plan to me. I've always been partial to the 455 and haven't heard anything bad about them, they can power a big deck with relative ease. Of the compacts mentioned, I really like the 955. These two would make a very versatile combination. I know you'll give whatever you buy a good going over first, good luck.

Hi Matt, To the best of my memory that system is only has syncro rings in foward gears not reverse. which means you should shift easy up shift or down shift but you may have to fiddle with it to get it in reverse. It does sound like you have a problem posibly with your clutch not releasing. I'm not buying what your dealer is saying ,I think you might want to call John Deere direct and tell them whats happening.
GOOD LUCK!

I have had my TC40D with SS for about a week now. I find that I use the electronic shuttle all the time. I am glad that I got the SS. I don't see the chance of too much going wrong with that. It is a pretty simple and clever setup. The reason that I got the SS and not a TC45D is that you can't ever put a mid PTO on it. I don't need one right now, but who knows what the future holds. I don't plan on ever buying a replacement, so I wanted everything possible this time around. Good Luck, Tom K.

Glad to see people talking about these little known tractors. I was a few minutes away from buying a kubota b2410 when I stumbled on one of these tractors on the internet. I checked out there web site and called the technitians to see how they would answer questions. I bought the PT425 with a 60 inch mower, bucket with teeth and a 60" hydralic blade. Paid about $7,000 less than a Kubota with the same attatchments. It was a little scary because I bought it site unseen and had it shipped to Connecticut. That was 4 months ago. I have been amazed how well this machine is built and how sturdy it is. I have been extremly happy with my purchase, these are well thought out machines. I plan on buying a stump cutter and a brush hog this summer. I modified a rock rake for it and think I will make a leaf blower for it also.

The new compact tractors from John Deere is the same old 4000 series with improvements, minor body/color/graphic changes and will be the "10" series: 4110, 4210, 4310, etc. We toured the compact tractor assembly plant last July in Augusta, GA. JD is soon to open an entire new assembly plant on the same campus. Because of overcrowded facilities, the traditionally "off limits" area for R&D had overflowed into the assembly area. We saw several tractors in "prototype" form which looked like modified. exisiting models and they had the "10" added on. We saw a 4310 and a 4610. We were not allowed to take pictures in the plant, but were allowed to take picture in the shipping yards. I have a 4100 and thought the 4100's with full cabs for oversees markets were really cool! JD was very accomodating and had an employee take my family on a 1 hour tour - just us! (I had called ahead and inquired though)

Congrats on your new tractor. Yes, two cylinder diesels have a characteristic ring to them. It can sound like a hammer on an anvil. If it doesn't change much with RPM or load then it is typical. Mine has done it for almost 20 years. Using a different fuel seems to have some effect. Also, lots of tractors have a common transmission and hydraulic oil. There is a special oil just for that purpose and everything that I know of uses it. Go to a farm store and ask for a Universal Trans/Hydraulic oil. Types compatible with JD 303 are the most common.

Thanks Jeff! Just called my dealer for the vent hose kit for the battery. Funney thing he asked where I was getting my information. i don't know why they just don't let everyone know that has a 4000 series but i guess that may cost them a buck. Tom
