I have never gotten one of those stupid permanent coffee filters to work right. Near as I can tell the mesh plugs up with fines or scale and can't handle the water flow. So it overflows over the top and sides and makes a gloppy mess in the pot. There are completely worfless, as my southern freinds would say. (Sorry Peters)

The turf and R4 are on the same rims. If you can find Toyo or some other Japanese Tire the compounds are probably the best. You need to have the diameters of the tires matched to ensure that the 4x does not get axel wind up. You will find some of the small 4x tactors have different brands of tire front and rear stock for this reason.

CTMatt,
You really have to stop drinking that green Kool-Aid and wake up to reality….Deere is a follower not a leader and it is very clear in the compact and sub-compact lines. If you look closely at the photos of the 2210 it has the frame of the 4110 with a slightly shortened mid frame and the same aluminum rear end.

This series tractor as just like the 4105, 4110 & 4115 DOES NOT HAVE A LADDER FRAME LIKE THE KUBOTA BX. The front end and rear castings are tied together by a Tunnel Tube that is Made of 1/16 inch steel. THIS IS WHY YOU CANNOT PUT A BACKHOE ON ANY OF THESE MACHINES.

The 2210 is clearly an attempt to try and fill a huge hole in the JD line. Every time they try to plug the dike, Kubota is always 2 steps ahead……..OH BTW, WHERE IS THE JD MACHINE THAT COMPETES WITH THE BX22 TLB. Still looking for JD’s answer to that one….I guess I’m going to have to wait for 2 more years for your JD to take a leadership position on that and have Yanmar build them something……..Buy the way Where is the OEM backhoe for the 4100, 4105, 4110, 4115 and 2210? Looks like the effects of that green Kool-Aid is wearing off!

I bought a couple of inexpensive hand pumps that screw into standard fuel containers. Dripping or not, almost anything is better than trying to balance a full container over the hood and trying to pour fuel through a funnel and figure when the tank is full. I do use standard plastic containers, and I'd buy higher quality hand pumps if I could find them. The threads on plastic containers do wear out. I also have a decent quality hand pump that fits onto standard 5-gallon hydraulic oil buckets. That's even more useful.

I don't know about the manual's reasoning, but I don't really see any reason to use galvanized containers even if they could be found. Most people think of fuel gelling as a cold weather problem and it's the filter rather injectors that clog--perhaps zinc does play a role. Many people use a good quality conditioner with anti-gel, make sure they're getting winter blend or start buying #1 diesel fuel. It gets cold here and I usually do some combination of all three.

If containers are kept for years, they should be completely emptied from time to time because sediment and condensation will collect in the bottoms. I think that burning the dregs in an oil furnace would be a good place for it.

Hope you get some help. I'm not aware of anything myself, but I've heard that there's little help except to start over with a better base and drainage. That sound like a lot of work.

I think I recall seeing tar used to seal wide cracks on concrete roadways, but I think it is applied hot. I believe the idea is to try and keep water from pooling under a crack where it freezes and causes more damage.

I have a 72 inch mulching. It doesn't discharge any direction. Needs more HP to run is the only issue that I can think of. I like the fact that I can drive any direction and not worry about throwing grass clipping on any thing. I can also get right up on things BOTH sides without worrying about grass clippings. I also have a side 72 inch side discharge it is like any other side discharge.

Some years back somebody made a comment that they used a 3ph backhoe on a tractor that was in draft control mode. The way the story went, about the first serious dig, top-link compression triggered the hitch into lift mode. The teller said the engine started labouring furiously and the locked down hitch groaning mightily. He bailed out of the seat and ran. The engine killed and part of the mount was bent. Once lift was triggered on a locked down hitch, lift wouldn't reduce the compression to take it out of lift mode. I guess that the locked-down hitch also was locked-up or the hoe probably would have flopped on the ground in draft mode.

I've wanted to try a box scraper with draft control. I think it would help keep from gouging at the bottom of hills. I have to feather the hydraulic top-link out as the box starts up a hill. But then I also think: Do I really want 'constant draft' lifting the box over bumps and lowering it into dips? Some draft sensitivity setting probably would work just fine.

Here's a of kind of a sideways thought. If heavy-duty pallets have to be built, maybe they could be built heavy enough to work like a stone-boat. That would at least solve all the lifting problems.

Can the blade be turned around and tilted so the blade is almost flat on the ground? I think I've heard of that done on very soft ground. You end up using the blade backwards, but a cutting edge isn't actually needed for very soft ground. My box scraper supports itself in fairly soft stuff by rolling it down so the weight is on the back of the rear cutter. The full cutter width probably supports the weight better than gauge wheels.

I don't know how much the work divides between grading and snow removal. If there's a lot of grading, I'd think about a fairly fancy blade with all the tilts and swings, and especially end plates. I'm guessing that a fancy blade would have an offset, which also would be very useful. I don't know if front blades come with all those features.

I'd like a blade like that for grading but they start getting expensive, so I get by with my box scraper. However, if I had serious ditching or complex grading to do, then I'd need a blade. If snow removal is the main job, a front blade probably works better, although it may have to be swapped back and forth with the loader. I use a 3ph blower, but I couldn't get through winter without my loader.

If the soil is very soft, I wonder if it'd work to do the grading by holding the blade with the hitch and allowing minimal float? That way it wouldn't dig in but there would be gouges and dumps as the tractor wheels follow the ground contour. However, filling major holes and cutting major bumps first and trying to feather the hitch when starting up hills could minimize the problems. That won't make a nicely graded surface, but it might get the dirt cut and moved around. If the soil is soft enough, it should level fairly well with a drag.

I think there were pictures and maybe links to a rock-bucket manufacturer in a fairly recent discussion. I've heard of an actual picker but the price would put off most people except for commercial or large-scale uses.

I just did the 50hr service on my L3010 and went w/ Kubota UDT, Kubota filters and Rotella 15w 40 engine oil. All were recomenneded by my dealer who stated that my warrenty would be voided otherwise. ( Mainly concerning the UDT oil. ) It aslo appears that I saved about $150.00

To do it real cheap you would have to redo the total shaft. Then will you have clearence as you will find larger joints and not a splined shaft but a square or a rectangle and possibly a few other problems.
