Northern Tools (aka Northern Hydraulics)<br>http://www.northern-online.com/<br>also had a 3 point cement mixer in one<br>of their recent catalogues. I think it was<br>between $800 and $900, of course at over 200 lbs,<br>there might also be a substantial shipping charge.<br>I don't know how many cubic feet it is, my guess is<br>about 5 to 6 cu ft. You shouldn't require many horse<br>power to run one of these as they run the 3.5 cu ft<br>units on about 3/4 hp electrics. I have seen a number of<br>3 pt cement mixers sold a various farm auctions, they all<br>appear to be about 5 to 6 cu ft., I haven't seen anything<br>appreciably larger. The last two that I saw at auction <br>went for around $600-$700 each, but they didn't have a<br>hydraulic tilt mechanism.

I was rather disappointed in its capacity,<br>but it is a rather small tractor. <br>I got mine from an auction yard that also sells various no-name<br>farm implements at considerably less than regular dealers. If <br>there is an auction yard in your area that specializes in farm<br>equipment, you might check with them.

Rodney, <br>I have made about 1000.00 dollars in the last month doing tractor jobs with my JD4100. I got the word out just by telling friends and co-workers. I'm not real serious about doing this type of work, I was more or less just trying to get out and use the tractor and get the feel for it. The thought has crossed my mind to run an add in the paper. Good luck!

What a revelation!!! I always taught that it took<br>2 people to hook up a 3 point, and I never got to drive the tractor!<br>I'm smarter now.<br>I get as close as I can and connect one of the lower arms. Then pull ahead or back<br>align the second. The upper link can then be aligned with liftin or lowering the<br>arms.<br>

I had the same questions. Another thought on the issue is tractor weight. If you have a 2000 pound tractor and you try to lift 1200 pounds with a front loader..... I would think you would end up on your nose.? Does the lift capacity vary with rear weights?

Dennis has good points, also check to see if your deck is one of the Kubota decks that has an updated tensioner/idler arm and pivot available. Pivot wear causes the idler to run out of parallel to the spindle pulleys, shortening belt life.

Yes I do have a loader, as well as a frame mount backhoe, york rake, log <br>splitter, sickle bar, and a grader blade. My Kubota 2850,I believe is 30 H.P.,<br>with a 28 H.P. pto.. I really enjoy the extra hydralic controls for the rear<br>implements. It's really a time saver to adjust the hydralic top link(angle of<br> attack)and swing the rake or blade without leaving the seat. Thanks again for<br>the responses. If I can get my neibor down a couple thou. I will jump on it.

Well I have a G4200 kubota that did the same thing. turns out it was the handle that engaged the <br>mid-mount PTO deck. I just had to pull back on it a little before i started it. I<br>don't know, maybe you already fixed yours. Just thought it might be helpful.

I took delivery on my TC29D this weekend. I bought it from Antietam Ford Tractor, near Hagerstown<br>Maryland. They were great to deal with. I posted the pricing before, but here it<br>is again: Tc29D, fluid filled industrial tires, 7308 loader, Woods 72

finish mower, $17,689 delivered (tax included in the price). I got a $5378 trade
in allowance on a Cub Cadet 2185 lawn tractor with 48" mower.
This is a great machine which will see a lot of use. I put over 8 hours on it this

Rob, I run a small business is Central Maine specializing in stump grinding chipping and light tree removal.<br>If you want to do the work yourself, look at a Kubota L35 tractor/loaderbackhoe. That machine will handle 8 inch stumps, has the loader to move dirt and crushed stone and is available used but not abused for around 25,000.<br>If you look in Uncle Henry's there was a guy in Abot selling his. I don't remember the price.<br>If you just wanted the stumps grond below the ground surface (4 inches below) forty 8 inch stumps would cost you about $500 dollars in Central Maine (Augusta Area) More is there are a lot of roots to chase.<br>I don't install septic systems but plan on spending between 3,000 and 6,000 for a septic system of normal design, depending on type and size.<br>To clear the trees from the area, I would suggest felling the tree dragging it to a central point, limb it, drag the rest of the tree to a pile. burn the limbs. Once you have an opening start the fire and burn the limbs as you generate them. Dont try to get big piles the burn the piles. Keep the wood seperated by type. Sawlogs, softwood pulp, and firewood. You can have someone with a portable mill come in and saw the logs for you (.15 to .20 cents per board foot), sell the soft wood pulp to a wood broker and use the firewood yourself.<br>Good luck

I've heard the same from a couple of dealers re: 420 loader shortage. I go along with the other postings about the 430 loader; it's a big step up from the 420 - heavier, much more reinforcement on the sides, top and around the rear of the bucket (if my memory serves me right the 430 has 5 reinforcement bands around the rear, the 420 has 2; the 430 is reinforced along the side edges, the 420 has none, etc.). <br>Given your choice/need of the 4300, over the long-term I think you'll be much happier with the 430.<br>Dealers have wanted $4-500 more for the 430 - I'd offer $200 (and a little

Thanks for everyone's advise and experiences,<br>In response to Fred's idea of purchasing the Kubota tractor instead of the JD.<br>I(we) have looked at the Kubota B2100. Unfortunately, the turning radius is <br>less than we can afford for our lawn. I think it is a good unit, but even my wife <br>didn't like certain features on the unit, and she know's nothing about tractors.<br>Sorry guys, but I'm sure you all know what kind of influence a woman can have<br>when it comes to tapping the bank account.

That sounds like a decent price. I have a 1920 w/4 wheel drive and shuttle. I have 850 hrs. I found that the Ag tires were tearing up my lawn so I switched to turf tires filled only with air. I was assuming that I would need chains or calcium for snow plowing. Surprisingly I had no problems this winter, even climbing hills with more than 30 inches of snow (Michigan). I use an 8 foot flail mower and I mow 7 acres. It's never failed to start and never needed anything but routine service. <br>
