I had my 4500 delivered last week. Wife was out of town all week so I had babysitting duties, which doesn't coincide with tractor duties. When sh returned home I went to the garage to take out the new machine and do some chores. I checked all fluid levels and the tranny fluid was not registering. I went to the dealer somewhat upset and he gave me 2 gallons of fluid and said he wanted to be sure I didn't have to make 2 trips. It took the 2 gallons and it is at the bottom of the dipstick, needing more. My concern is where could it have gone??? The machine had been loaned out to two community affairs and has 16 hours on it. Any ideas??? Thanks for the help.

dwg,
Your response was an example of the exact type of information I was hoping to hear. Cherry isn't a light lumber and 25 x 25 is a good heavy size log...especially if it was fresh cut. Our timber is 90% pine and fir...a bit lighter then your cherry. Question: at what elevation do you operate your 790? We are at 4500' and JD has recommended deducting 3% HP for every 1000' of elevation gain thus rendering the 790's 30 HP to about 26 HP for us. I know there's more to the equation then just straight HP but I was curious about your experience and situation.
Thanks,
Rick

Tomg, if you sense that you are about to turn over, I guess you better turn down hill because that would be the quickest correct but...................almost always if you are pulling an implement you are better off turning uphill. I farm these Kentucky hillsides and any full time farmer will tell you that you will get into more trouble going downhill than uphill. You can usually pull more load up a hill than you can totally control going downhill. Good luck

I recently purshased an MT372 and I am having a problem with the hydralics. It works fine for about an hour but once the engine is heated up real good the hydralics quit. If the rig drops and I want to raise it up when I move the lever to to the up position the rig actually goes down instead of up. If I let the tractor sit for awhile the thing starts working again. I thought it might be low on fluid but I'll be darned if I can figure out where the hydralic tank is and where it get filled. Anyone have any ideas??
Thank, David40@ij.net

Around here any agricultural building can use rough cut lumber, if fact a building permit for an ag building is not required.

If a non ag building exceeds 150 sq ft or is wired a building permit is required.

Talk to your local build inspector/code enforcement person. He'll be a wealth of info. You may be required to use graded lumber for studs, joists and rafter yet be able to use rough cut for sheeting the building, or you may be allowed to use 100% rough cut.

Billy,

My best answer would be...........yes, get a new regulator.

Your located in S E Oklahoma. I can't imagine it being much below 50 Deg F. down there in the wee hours of the morning yet this time of year. Keeping this in mind, I can't imagine your furnaces useing one heck of alot of gallons of L.P. per hour. Yes, the birds must be kept warm and the furnaces will run, but not at a level that will overtax your regulator.

If your regulator was too small, you would have had problems long ago. Unless this is a new system.

If this is an excisting system, here is what probably happened:

The truck (bobtail) unloads 3000 plus gal of propane in your tank, as he transfers the liquid in his tank to yours, vapor from your tank is transfered back to his truck tank.
In this process, a small piece of foriegn matter is dislodged from his truck, or your tank and gets into your plumbing, then travels to the first thing it can't fit through, and stops, partially blocking the flow. When your furnace kicks on, pressure downstream from the restriction drops significantly, and the liquid is turned to vapor, kinda like a carburator atomizes gasoline. This has a cooling effect on your regulator and the moisture in the outside air is cooled to below freezing when in comes in contact with the cold netal of the regulator.

When you thawed the regulator, the metal in the thing expands, thus opening up the passage, and the forieign matter is dislodged, maybe even broken up into more managable peices. Heck, they could be gone by now. Or.....they could be lodged inside your regulator waiting to cause more problems.

Regulators are cheap enough. How much would it cost if this happened again, and the birds didn't get heat for say 6 hours?

I would still contact my supplier, and let him know what happened.

If it is a tank owned by yourself, it will be your expense. If the supplier owns the tank, you need to remind him he could be liable for losses you incure due to his equipment failure.

Now to make light of all this serious talk:

Hank Hill would gladly change that regulator, becaus we all know, that "Strickland Propane" gives much better service than say....."Thatherton"....(who, buy the way,is Buck Stricklands arch enemy and handles butane and other such "bastard gases".

I think Buck Strickland, and Hank would be proud of all I've taught you folks here about clean burning propane. Not to mention the kind of comment we'd get from Boomhauer.

Rock On!!!

You guys are correct on the steering (servo concept). I built JD combines in the 80's and they were that way also.

Big Ed,
The MMM deck for the 855/955 is the same deck, however, you will need to purchase #BM16948 attaching parts bundle from your John Deere dealer.

List price is $314.00 US please keep this in mind when negotiating a price.

I would suggest that the tractors you are looking at would work fine. 4wd is essential, HST very desireable. Decide whether you want a front or rear blower. Front is easier to drive, but more specific to the tractor, prevents you using a loader as well, and probably cost as much as the rear mount plus loader together.
Expect a Garden tractor to run a 4' blower, a ~25HP Compact a 5' blower and 30+ HP for 6'. Typical drives are 12-15' wide or so, so a 4' or 5' blower takes 3 passes with a return trip to clean up.
Think about the wind direction and frequency. You can not blow snow up-wind without a cab! Start on the upwind side and blow downwind each pass. If the drive parallels the prevailing wind plan on extra trips so you can always blow downwind.
Having done the lawn tractor -> Garden Tractor -> Compact thing, I would suggest you don't undersize and buy the X Series. They are fine machines, but for the length of your drive, bigger would be better. Think hard about your other uses for the machine as well. If a loader is at all considered the Compact is the way to go.

Others have talked about tires and gravel and there are lots of posts on those subjects in the archives.

Since I first posted this I did go ahead with the loader. Got one from Homestead Tractor and am pretty happy with it. So far traction hasn't been a big problem but that is also because
I've got ag tires and a woods mower hanging off the 3p.h. Yes, that is a bit of a headache in some of the tighter spots I've had to work and I don't really like having that thing swinging off the back sometimes but it makes the balance overall pretty good when using the bucket. I have to lock the differential in the gravel while working the driveway but otherwise not too bad. I'm looking to get a rake and I'm guessing I'll need some additional counter-balance once I do get the rake. I've been reading some of the threads about liquid filled tires versus wheel weights and still have not made up my mind. As hilly as my place is safety is a big concern for me.

Can you afford $180.00 a month? At tractorsmart.com you can get a BX1800 and a 54" mower($8800)and a front blade ($750-800)for about $9500. Even cheaper with a rear blade or a box scraper.
You can get '0' down with Kubota Credit, 60 months @ 4.99 percent is $180 a month. You can mow, push snow and dirt, and have years of reliabliity. It is real darn easy to spend more than $180 a mnoth on rental equiptment. My two cents.MH

Farmhouse, while doing my comparison shopping for the last month (can't wait to see the phone bill)I spoke several times to a dealer in Calif who has sold seventy Kioti's in the last couple years. He said he has had three warranty claims. Two pin hole leaks in hydraulic hoses and one loose self tapping screw on some sheet metal part. That's it for seventy tractors. I can provide his phone # if you want to talk to him. Mark
