We have a very similar device (same basic item, different maker) as this and use it regularly. To say that it could replace all those items is, well, about as optimistic as saying gas prices, taxes, and inflation are going next week. It is not as good as a pulverizer or scarifiers at breaking up hard-pan, it takes several passes to acomplish the grading of a box blade or even York rake, it will however make a really nice finish, but even then it won't pick the stones and debris out as well as a York rake. The basic problem is it itsn't heavy enough to really bite into the ground. The best use I have ever found for it is grooming horse rings. Best of luck.

I'm with Kay in that I don't have much use for clearing snow with a back blade. Maybe that is because we get deep snows much of the time. A snowblower may be optimal, but in the meantime my FEL works well for me. I clear about 150' of driveway and a 50' x 60' parking area.

Check to make sure you are not dragging a brake. I was going down a hill on a dirt road recently and noted that one rear tire was disturbing the road surface while the other tire wasn't. Sure enough, the brake on the left side was just dragging a little bit. Don't notice it normally, but when on the road it heated up more and started dragging. If there is one spot on your brake that grabs a little earlier, maybe this could give you the surging effect you experience.

The prices seem a little high. If you search through the archives, you'll find plenty of examples of lower prices. Of course, price varies by locale..

Thanks all for your input. This message board was a great resourse in my compact tractor research. Yesterday I ordered a TC40D w/ 16LA FEL (HD bucket), R4 tires filled with Rim Guard, 1 rear remote control, Gril guard & a Woods 72" rear discharge finish mower. My total cost was about $23,300 (after tax). I should get it next Thursday or Friday.

Art and Bird,
Thanks to you both for the helpful comments. Two things that I found out since I posted this message - Kubota recommends Super UDT Hydralic fluid (the stuff in the tractor is not Kubota)and also I stopped by a dealer who ran a Grand L GST which clealy showed that my tractor is well out of spec. The new machine quickly ran through the gear changes with only slight hesitation -very unlike my L3600.
The 4690 bhoe has several leaks (1 on the dipper cylinder seal and another on the fitting feeding fluid in) so I'm hopeful that if these items are fixed, the creeping will be much less pronounced. Do you agree? For some reason I was concentrating on spool valve pass-thru causing the problem and it did not occur to me that leaks could be attributing to the slow movement of the unit downward as well.

I recently purchased the Kubota B 2410 with the Landpride 60" rear discharge mower model FDR1560. It has the pneumatic air filled rubber tires, 18,264 fpm blade tip speed weight is 492 #, deck is 10 gauge steel. It does a nice job and I am completely satisfied with it. As a package deal with tractor and other implements, the dealer charged me $1400.

If you cannot handle one that is wider that the tractor, get one that can be offset to cover one of the wheels. It is a liitle more hassle as you need to always go the same direction if you want all the tracks covered. Also a slip clutch rather than shear pin is recommended. Like Frank, I have found a few surprises that have brought the tiller to a quick halt.

Here is a link with PTO stump grinders. They make them for the HP range your interested. The smaller model is around $5,500 and the larger is around $6,500.

A couple of other problems that can be heat-sensitive are: Bad spark coil or missing heat-shield. New mufflers are sometimes put on B/S riding mower engines minus the heat shield between the muffler and carb, or with the deflector in the wrong direction. I don't know if that's possible on this tractor, but that will create a vapour lock on B/S engines. The bad coil when it gets hot may be mostly a historic problem (Ford N-series tractors are known for bad coils). Never the less the spark should be fat and blue even when the engine is 'vapour-locked'.

A lot depends on your intended use of the tractor and of course how much the difference is, and if the difference really effects your budget.
My opinion; if it's going to be used for mowing, you can't beat HST, makes it really easy to speed up where the mowing is light or slow down where heavy, or slow down in tight spots. Also, as Tom mentioned it's really nice when using the loader to move forward to back without a clutch. Another advantage to HST, is it's so easy for an inexperenced operator to operate, in case you want your kids to mow the lawn. An advantage to gears is if you need to calibrate for distance traveled, ie; chemical spraying. Jim

Not really, I use a soft cab(insulated r-13) I live on the coast so I had a local boat sail maker do it. They make enclosures for fly bridges etc. They used a Sumbrella (sp) brand material. Works great easy to remove and looks factory installed {If they did }.The problem with the hard inclosures for me Too much cutting, couldn't use my FEL and have cab attached, etc. It was a perm install and was $2,000 My soft was $475. I used a canopy ready made (metal) $300.

Attached ar 4 photos of the clutch. You can see the windings are pretty much burnt.
Probably any clutch with 4" oc mounting on a 1" shaft would work.
Any ideas

Doug,

When you say you are having trouble getting parts,
do you mean Yanmar parts in general or do you
mean getting parts from Craftons?

Dealer has now replaced the power steering unit after ordering the wrong part. Pressures are now fine but steering still grabs and loses power. They are working with the factory and say that they have to disassemble the whole hydro system to find what is wrong.

They did bring me a 445 with a 60" deck to mow with until the 4100 is repaired.

My Massey Ferguson MF 240 is now more than 3 and a half years old and it has been running for more than 5000 hours with only minor giltches. It came with useless brakes, new ones still do I had to pay extra money to the dealer to fix it. It also came with too hard seat, that problem has been fixed in both new ones and in mine too but not for free.<br>
