Topic

I think B-Kubotas have a 10A auxiliary circuit that can be used for work lights. Two 55-watt lights draw about 8.3A, which can be run from a 10A circuit. Either 55's or 35's would work, but I figure that if I'm going to the trouble, I might as well get as much light as I can. I wired two 55W lights directly from the battery on my Ford. If it's a question of replacing the existing headlight bulbs with stronger ones, I heard a caution about the possibility of larger bulbs melting the headlight assembly. However, I've heard it raised as a possibility, and I haven't heard anybody say that it would actually happen. Even so, the existing lighting circuit probably wouldn't carry a much larger load. From a wiring diagram, it would be a good idea to figure the total load on the lighting circuit to determine if the fuse would carry larger bulbs. The formula for getting amps from watts is to divide watts by 12 (the battery voltage). The amps for existing lights could be calculated as well as for new lights. The difference between them would be the increased load. It's good if the load on a 10-amp circuit doesn't exceed 8.5 amps or so, or the fuse may blow periodically during normal operation. Replacing a fuse with a larger one is dangerous and is not an option.

Oh, you know him, eh? ":^) I don't expect to be in the market for a new tractor in this lifetime, but if I am, it darn sure won't come from Greenway. Too many yuppies with more money than sense around here. I'll head down to farming country if I ever hit the megabucks and decide to get a new tractor.

Off hand, I'd guess that the lift control valve isn't sealing the cylinder completely when centred. Vibration etc. during operation is jostling the valve and allowing the cylinders to leak down. You might try disconnecting the lift hoses, or swapping the lift and bucket hoses to see if it still leaks down. However, it is curious the hoe also is leaking down since that would be operating from a separate SCV assembly (I'm assuming that it's the hoe boom that is leaking down and also only when the tractor is running). Guess I don't have a ready answer, but I did clear up some small oddities in my hydraulics when I changed the oil and filter. Changing the oil and filter might be a good idea if you're not sure of its condition or it's near a scheduled change.

Folks, I need some help. I just purchased a used 1993 Kubota L2950. It has R1's on the tractor. Manual says my choices are turf or ags. Does anyone know why I couldn't put R4's on it and what the equivalent size would be?Best regards, Joe

On mine it was the rain cap that was getting caught up in the tree limbs. It was also interfering with the exhaust. I took it off. The exhaust gets shot higher up and away as well. And I don't hear that clanging at idle. My preference is for tomatoe cans...

I hate to compare a serious and educational discussion like this one with last year's political campaign. No, I don't know why your trucks were bucking. There is no difference in lead/lag due to differential wear until the wear is enough that some of the teeth go away entirely. Lead/lag in the differential is strictly a function of the number of teeth. Of course it will buck badly when some of the teeth break off......

I live in New England and thought the same thing when I bought my Kubota 2710 (that I could remove snow with the loader), so that's what I did the first year. In the float position it worked pretty well for me, but my driveway (500') is paved and also pitched to one side. You do have to make extra passes. What concerned me is that it grinds the loader. So last year I bought a rear blade (6' blade for 5' wide tractor to account for angle). Plow backwards works fine and you still have the loader to push back banks. Cut my plowing time in half. But we got so much snow last year and I spent a lot of time pushing back banks to get ready for the next storm, so this year I am buying a used 5' snowblower. Hope that helps.

I am getting a new Kubota 2410 this week with FEL and rear finish mower. Later this fall, I plan to buy the front mounted snowblower. How difficult is it to change from the FEL to the snowblower? Is this a once a season task or can I change back and forth easily during the winter?

Keith: First were do you live? That sounds like its worth the drive, besides if you needed repairs would any NH dealer have to fix it? Because it under warranty. Second does your tractor have the H.D Loader? Because not sure on 16FEL. The one I was quoted said 16LA H.D.. Is there a differents? Also are you getting a bush guard for the front?

Dan. Be patient with your self and your machine. I just had the very same experience. I have a JD4600 with the 48 Backhoe. Took the backhoe off to put my scraper box on to do a little leveling and ended up scratching my head. You need to play with the angle a little bit, I used some WD40 on the ends so that the balls in the arms rotate very easily. After I did it once I had to do it again because its such a tight fit. I guess you could say they really enginered it.

First time posting message. I think this is a great site. I have 4n1 bucket on my JD4400<br>Hst and it is great. I pull up trees with a trunk diameter of 4-6 inches and pile them in a pile to burn. W/o the 4n1 bucket you are limited to only scooping dirt or rock with the loader. Mine only cost approx $1400 total and has paid for itself already.

Nick,
Mike is correct(fwd), I went thru the same thing about 1 month ago. From Jan. till april I searched for a tractor. I went with the tc29d after all my months of searching.My decision based on price, service, and servicability. I found N.H. price to be the best with the most features, service the dealer seamed great and they where the closest out of the big three. And last but not least the tractor servicability appeared to be superior over the other brands. I drove all three and N.H. I felt most comfortable with, you owe it to yourself to drive all brands you are interested in and buy what you feel most comfortable with. Hope this helps and good luck.

Sounds like a good deal, for you. The first 3 have problems that could potentially be very costly to repair.

Jeff: I just finished digging and installing 100 ft. of new swimming pool pipe.
I have an Arps 70 backhoe on a JD855. The hydro is supplied from the tractor at 2050 psi and 5.6 gpm The hoe is a 3pt mounted version. I found the hoe very slow in hard packed soil, but after it rained and the soil loosened up, the hoe dug pretty well. It does have a bad habit of jumming around. It took me awhile to get used to the swing to slow it down. Also I used the hoe with the tractor throttle set a little above idle speed. I found with the throttle cranked up it moved faster, jumped more, but did not have any more power since the pressure relief kicks in.

Do the loader mounts for the 70 loader need to be removed when mounting a 380 quik attach plow to a 790? I have the tractor and loader and am considering buying the plow if I don't have to remove mounts every time I change implements.

Update: I had changed the fuel and air filters when I got the tractor. I opened the filter holder tonight and found that it only had about 15% of the casing full of fuel. Air in the fuel line. I filled it with diesel and tired again, still no luck.

I walked down the road and found the local diesel mechanic in his yard (he owes me a few favors) and he looked it over. He showed me the two air bleed valves and we tired them, without success. Next he cracked the top of one of the injectors and we watched the fuel bleed out with foam coming with it (the air in the line). He cracked the top of each of the four injectors and I turned it over a few times. He locked them back down and she started right up. Success.

I have an opportunity to buy 4 955s with about 1100 hours, with Loader for $39,500, or $9875 each (plus tax). Now I only want 1, but if anyone else wants to pitch in?????They are located in Virginia near DC, they aren't perfect. Each's condition is noted below:<br>1. Rear PTO doesn't engage<br>2. Slight knock in engine at low idle<br>3. "Misses" while running<br>4. Bad Rear PTO oil leak (Mine)So if anyone is interested let me know, they all sound good (except as noted) and drive well, loaders all work, they're cosmetically 7 of 10, maybe a little better.If anyone wants to jump in remotely, I can get digital pics of each and could help arrange shipping.The real trick is that I have to get them soon (this week) and all at once.let me knowTodd
