Mark, for me the removable toothbar was worth the $400 I paid for it. I also have a HD bucket on my 4400, and the toothbar gives me the capability to dig into dirt piles and to do light digging and scraping without abusing the bucket. If my soil didn't have rocks, it might be a different story, but the soil is rock-embedded light-to-medium clay and even a small rock can stop you cold. With the toothbar I can get a little down angle to get under the rocks. Also, for light excavating, remember that the teeth effectively extend the front edge of your bucket by about 6 inches, which allows you to go deeper when you dig with the loader. The toothbar attaches via two 5/8 bolts - takes me 2 minutes max to remove or install - and then I have a flat bucket edge for snow removal, backblading to smooth out soil, or light material movement like sawdust or mulch. If you want to dig, especially with rocks, I think the toothbar actually reduces the wear and tear on your bucket. The front cutting edge on my bucket still looks like new. I also think I would only put a toothbar on a HD bucket because the teeth provide the leverage for additional stresses to the structure of the bucket.

This question is for Tom G.
I've read a lot of your post on this board and they are very helpful. I've noticed however that you mention in some that you have a Kelley model 600, in others you mention you have a Kelley model 650. I've not heard of a Kelley model 650. I've just purchased a Kelley model 600 for my John Deere 855 and have some questions. You can email me at asayre1947@aol.com
Thanks.

WTB Belly Mower for JD 755

That is a STEAL at that price, even if it is not 4WD. And because of the loader I would suspect it probably is 4WD. But because of the price I would suspect not. The belly mower should be 60", not 56". The 5' bush hog might be a little big, which would require you to go slower. However you could obviously sell the bush hog if it's too big, and buy a 48" one. This tractor could last your lifetime if take care of. I just bought a 98 755 4WD with loader but no belly mower. Instead it came with a rear finish mower and a tiller. 600+ hours, minor wear and tear, I got a steal at $9500. Should have been $11,500 even without the attachments. Buy that tractor, like RIGHT NOW.

I have read many links and it seems the BX2200 can handle mowing and a front end loader work easily. But, can it handle a back blade or a box blade? How well does it do with moving snow (2' and more) with those little tires? Can it run a post hole digger with the low ground clearance?Will the B7500 do a much better job or is a back and box blade to much to ask for a compact tractor to handle?Glenn

Rick Where you buy will have a large impact. Branded fuels are all done a little differently, but to the same specs. They just get there differently. Some make sure the have winter additives so people do not have problems during adverse weather and change back in spring. Other buy from the market and it may be from several sources. I have heard that some have tried perfuming it so as not to be offensive to the delicate noses of the uptown diesel car crowd. They even provide them little plastic gloves. Ain't that sweet?

Morning John Here goes with my observations, the safety nuts will go crazy, I do not run the belt guards on the decks. It makes my time more efficient when cleaning, inspecting and greasing. I use a Landpride FD2572 if I hit a tree limb that has fallen and the mower does not shread it. I have noticed the belt spring surge. So me thinks that the spring allows some slippage and surge/stretch where as the bolt my not. My belts probably have survived much abuse because of the spring. Just my thoughts.

I run a 48 inch King Kutter on a Kuboto B2100 with no problems in very rocky ground. I think I could run a 5 footer with no problem. The King Kutter is heavy but it does not bounce around much. I do use a moldboard plow on new ground first which I'm sure helps alot. I know the JD is heavier than my B-2100 so I don't think you would have a problem, just go slow the first time over the ground and not too deep.

I have a 1982 John Deere 1050 with manual steering. I would like to add a power steering and a front end loader. I have been told that John Deere sold an external power steering kit. The dealers tell me they no longer sell the kit. Does anyone know if this is true? Are there any aftermarket companies that sell power steering kits? Any help would be appreciated.

I want to buy new or used manuals for JD 755 : tech, parts cat., owner/operator and possibly engine. If anyone has these, feel free to email me. I do know they are available from JD direct. I will also need tail light lenses, and possibly bodywork: nose cone, grill, engine cover (hood), as mine are beat. Thanks, Larry.

I'm not up to speed on TC25D prices, but sounds like a decent price to me. I did purchase a Woods RD7200 last fall and have been very happy with it. I paid $1750 for it before taxes. $1863.75 after 6.5%tax(Dang the government must love me). I regularly mow 10 acres with it and have used it about 10 times with no problems (i.e. have mowed 100 acres with it so far)

David, Here in Maine they just included the block heater as part of the package on my B 2710. It does start well with just the glow plugs, but having the engine block and oil warm can only help. $35 seems closer to the value. So I'd have it installed. Good luck JT

I just bought a Agracat 254 25 hp. 4wd tractor with a 60" box blade and a 60" brush hog for $10,634.00 including tax. If anyone knows a reason why this may be a bad deal please let me know! The price sure seemed right to me. All I know about this new Co. is that they used to make tractors for J.D. but the relationship went bad. now they sell under the name Agracat.

All,Need guidance. I'm looking to buy my first tractor. I'll use it for for mowing (80% usage), tilling and pushing snow. I'll mow about 6.5 acres of farm yard with some small about 10% grades.Right now I'm stuck. I'm looking at a 1987 B8200 with 195 hours or a "new" B7300. Both are $8000, but the 7300 has a 3 year warranty. I plan to get a undermount 54 or 60" mower deck at ($1800 and $1900). The 7300 appears to be a little "lighter". 3hp less. I've heard complaints about about up-hill power.Is it better to buy the new machine just because of the warranty? I'm bot one to believe that something new is better (our new house was built in 1850).Please let me knoe what you think.Bill Stephens

I have a TC33D and I plowed about 1.5 acres with a older Ford 2 btm plow. The soil had some moisture and the field has been plowed before. The TC33D did have trouble sometimes, but if your patient and willing to take the time it can get the job done. Not sure if it is hurting my tractor. If I were going to plow over five acres in rough soil, I would opt for a larger machine TC45. etc.

Thanks for the replies.

Out here in Oregon, I have seldom seen the type of fencing with the "V" design as described by Roger. Much of the older fencing has uniform openings of about 4"x6" while most of the newer stuff has the decreasing sized openings toward the bottom as mentioned by Murf, although I don't remember seeing any with a 9" opening. The Ag stores and the big box stores around here generally sell a general utility type fencing such as the "Ranch Hand" shown on the web page:
http://www.daviswire.com/products/ag/info_wovenfield.html
and a more expensive type labeled as "no climb" which has smaller openings that is supposed to prevent livestock from being able to catch their hooves in it. I have only seen this in 100' rolls - which is generally priced about 10% to 20% more than the standard fencing in 330' rolls.

There is a chart which gives the weights of rolls of 330' at
http://www.oklahomasteel.com/fieldfence.htm - or about 200 lbs for a 330' roll of 47" fencing using 11 gauge wire.

Just curious, has anyone used the heavy gauge 16' long welded wire panels? Aesthetically they don't do that much for me but it looks like they would do a better job of resisting livestock that like to lean against fences (of course, that is what the electric fence wire is supposed to do.)
