I checked the cable and the tachometer and it appears the tachometer is the problem. Any suggestion where I can get a tach at reasonable price? the dealer wants $144 for it which is more than i'm willing spend. any suggestions?

I just got back in from the back lot. I tried the afformentioned test, but were have no 4100's left so I used a 4110. It passed. It climbed the curb.

Then, I went and got a bucket of sand. It still worked..oh...it whinned some...but it still worked.

I have no idea if mine was a standard curb....but it is the only curb we have here.

You stole that Steiner. Great Machine! I have a 430 Max and think it's a real neat tractor. I found it was a little tough to work on though. It's so compact, you have to take apart a bunch of stuff to get at what you want too. It's worth it though, for $300.00 that was a heck of a steal!!!

Stiener deal thats sounds like a no brainer

Tom (and anybody else), I just test drove a tc40D and the salesman tried to demonstrate the QA loader. He was having a heck of a time getting the pins off and then had a lot of difficulty getting the arms to come off the frame of the tractor. He admitted that he had never done it before and gave up. However, from what I saw the process is not nearly as easy the QA loader on my JD. Realistically, how hard is it for one man to do it on the tc40D and how long does it take.
Also, a feature that I really didn't like was the kill switch that shut off the engine whenever I got up off the seat. Even with the parking brake on and the gear shift in "N" the engine won't run without seat pressure?? The salesman indicated that I would probably want to disable the switch.

I recently got an old B6100 4WD Kubota from my neighbor. He stated that it was a workhorse and was left out last winter behind his barn. The cover to the exhaust pipe came off in a storm and water leaked down the pipe into the engine. When he discovered it this spring, the engine was "froze" up. He poured penetrating oil down the pipe and attempted (gently) to unlock the engine by letting of the clutch while in 2nd gear while being towed. After a couple of attempts he aborted in order to not damage the engine. I now have the tractor and am not much of a mechanic. I would like to know where to begin working on the engine in order to attempt to get it to run again and use on my property.

Any ideas as to where to start? I figured the 'experts' out here could point me in the right direction. Thanks

I would choose a JD272 Grooming mower over anything for large open areas. It gives you the stripes and a very level cut - no scalping. I can't stand my 60" on my Boomer. It, of course is better for getting close to obstacles but is not even close - in terms of cut quality to the grooming mower I speak of. The 3 pt is easy to get off and on too. Here is the decision for me: Sacrifice the better, wider cut for agility and go with a rear discharge MMM with a 60" unit. It is true that a 72" MMM may be better for you. What I am saying is that even though the MMM is not as good at cutting - go with it anyhow so you can use your SuperSteer and get more agility. Better yet - buy both!

Just my opinion - but I even make sure the deck is clean - the blades are sharp - the mower is balanced, level, etc.. I still can't compete with the grooming mower (others call it a finishing mower).

The leveling box is on the right rear 3 pt lift arm. It is used to level the rear connected implement. All I am saying is that on my old Ford 641 I could level it from the operator seat. You can buy a hydraulic cylinder kit for this - allowing remote operation - but for me it would be overkill. When I referred to "hydraulic" I was simply referring to the Hydraulic 3 pt Lift.

I have an 855, 4WD, with a 70A loader. It has about 800 hours on it (mainly used for mowing the yard). The loader was purchased when the tractor had about 500 hours. I'm selling it with a 60" belly mower, a 5' rotary cutter, and a 5' box blade. It has ag tires. It is in very good condition. I have maintained it and it has been stored indoors. I am located in Central Illinois and you may contact me at: tharris@ccaonline.com

tree farmer -- i have your problem too. my 4700 didn't have the problem last year. but i believe it started this summer after extended use in hot weather. it appears to be something that evaporates off something in/behind the instrument panel, then condenses on the back of the clear lenscover. i have places where it literally forms rivulets that run down to the bottom. it is a milky or cloudy condensate. when i check the tractor cold, the panel is clear again. the condensation appears in slightly different areas time-to-time.
I don't like the idea of something degrading by losing some form of chemical agent or additive.
haven't talked to the dealer, but will !!!

Lets see..... lots of different kinds of snow.... big dumps…... 6200 feet elevation…….. California..... I'm guessing Lake Tahoe?
If so, let me know I might have a couple of specific recommendations.
As far as the strength factor, once the machine has its implements attached, strength is not a factor. The only compact tractor I know of that does NOT come with power steering is the bottom on the line Kubota B7400. The steering on the BX22/00 is almost effortless. My wife, who unlike me, is definitely not built for off road use, has no trouble operating all the controls on our Deere 4100.
In terms of traction, you might be amazed what a 4WD compact can do, and if you choose the right tires you can put on tire chains for added traction. Mark (Carson City)

I remember wash sheds when I was a kid visiting my farming cousins. Wash-sheds were standard. We build a 10' x 10' wash shed last summer because the 40' construction trailer at our camp is too small for a shower.

The shed is on stilts so water will drain into our raised gray-water pit. In our case that will keep inspector Bob happier if he comes visiting, but the issue may not be relevant for everybody.

At the moment, we're using a large laundry tub and heat well water with a propane cooker (boy those cookers sure heat water fast). I haven't figured out if it's worth putting a gravity fed solar heated tank overhead, but I do have to figure how to slope the floor so it completely drains. With or without a shower, wash sheds are truly wonderful things to have. Just wonder around inside and splash cool or hot water around everywhere, which ever is best. I'd recommend building one to most anybody. After it was done, the guy who did most of the carpentry said ‘Boy I sure we’d build one of these at our camp.’ The guys get a little ripe towards the end of moose season I guess.

After getting a couple of flats with my JD4100 and figuring out what a time consuming pain in the butt it is to repair a fluid filled tire, I am going straight for the wheel weights on the new BX22. I hope that 50 pounds on each wheel and the low center of gravity will be enough. Time will tell. The BX tires I have seen appear to be tubeless, did you dealer install tubes first and what type of fluid did he use?

These products may well help. I've also heard of a product that some people spray on loader buckets and blower chutes to keep snow from sticking, which might be an alternative. I'd think about something that forms a thick coating. The costing may crack or be somewhat porous, which could trap moisture under the coating and cause the deck to rust faster.
