So it was just a name that the marketing folks at CHN stuck on them ? OK, thanks for the info, I thought there might be a story behind the boomer handle.

Good one Mark.

I am not sure that the specs are relevant to many tractor owners though. It all seems to depend on the color and model that they have their behind on :) I can't really exclude myself from this either:)

Another thought. I have 10 acres of filberts that I prune every year. Believe me when I say I have a lot of brush to move. I built a rake with 5-foot horizontal times at a a 1-foot spacing that attaches to the my JD 1070 bucket. This allows me to drive through the orchard picking up the prunings on the rake. I can then lift and dump the load on to the burn pile.

However, I've found an easier way if the surface is realatively flat. I simply set the bucket blade at right angles to the ground keeping it just above the ground as I drive through the orchard. The branches get scooped up and push very nicely. In fact, things work better when a bit of a load builds up. When I showed this technique to a neighbor with 40 acres of filberts he was amazed. It is by far faster than any other technique he had tried.

Again the trick is that the orchard floor is flat and I am pretty good at keeping the bucket edge just above the ground.

Just another thought.

thanks tom... i suppose i should look for a dealer instead of using this computor contraption for all my info.it's just to easy this way! I have learned to swing my load into the dirt pile to slow it down. but the arm will swing all the way over and slam against the sides if your not careful.I don't do anything without steel toes on there my everyday shoe, no sneakers here.I've learned to respect the backhoe attachment,i have seen alot of ways a guy could get it with that thing.

Looking at a 79 John Deere with low hours and have a general question to those who use these. Will this tractor pull a 4 foot bushhog regularly safely and not shake itself to pieces??

Well let me just start out by saying I'm new to the world of tractors and I'm getting a education learning about them.
I have three dealers in my area JD,NH and Kubota all of them have been very helpful with my questions so I have no questions about them. I've looked at a model from each of the dealers all with the same attachments Loader,MMM and bush hog.This is the list I've come up with JD 4210, NH TC29D and Kubota 2710 or B7800. There is a price difference anywhere from 1,200.00 to 1,400.00 depending on the make. Now I know your going to ask what I plan to do with it so here goes I have 2 or 3 acres that need work from grass cutting to rock removeal and down trees and then my wife would like to work in a garden. She needs to be able to operate the tractor as well(if not more). I also have operational questions but I'll wait until my nexk post to ask thoses questions. Thank you for your ideas and comments.

So many models

I have an entire manual set (owner's manual, shop manintenance manual, and parts manual) and NUMEROUS filters, hoses, belts, bulbs, keys, etc.

Administrator, I apologize in advance if this is not the proper place to post this. I don't think anyone looks at the classifieds.

I had all of these parts left over from when I traded in my L245 and I figured someone may benefit. The parts are ALL new and unused. Email me if you are interested.

Happy New Year to all!

big jake we recently had your same dilema, we decided to go with tractor instead of snow plow on truck. yes tractor cost more but does not tear up your truck like a plow does. I use combo of front end loader and my rear back blade to move the snow. I do my drive wich is 200 ft. my neighbors about 100 ft. and about 1/4 of private road. I have a 30hp kioti lk 3054 with turf tires 4wd and the tires are filled, have not had to put chains on yet but are there if I need them. My advice get the tractor and you will find uses for it. good luck in whatever you decide and let it snow I am ready.

I'm from Maine too! I've probably been to the same dealers you have. If you check out the classifieds on this forum, you'll see Emerich Tractor in NY (just over the Mass line) will sell a 3130HST for about $13,300. The HD FEL adds about $3700. Wallingford in Auburn says he'll match any legitimate quote. You can use that information to go to the dealer you feel most comfortable with and see how close he'll come. After that, the decision is up to you - how much do you value dealing with the local dealer?

As for the difference in tractors, I think it's a no brainer. The 3010 is last years model and the 3130 is the latest. The loader alone is the selling feature! Last year you had to get a 3710 to get the loader capability of the new 3130. Not sure about the QD I think it's still an option, as is the mid PTO (standard ont he 3010). The 3130 is just hitting dealers now. I haven't seen one yet, but everything I hear is very positive. Only downside I can think of is the electronic instrument panel. If if goes out after warranty I'm sure it's a few bucks to replace. It does however have the potential to save you big money if it warns you about a problem before it gets serious.
Good luck and keep me posted on how you make out.

Always something when lawyers are involved. A safety issue other than than the mover pushing somebody down a bank is a mover sitting with the blades spinning for quite awhile after a pto is disengaged and the engine shut down. <br>
<br>
I guess that there's nothing keep an implement from just winding down if the drive is disengaged or there's an over-running clutch in the drive line. I don't know but maybe that's why hydraulic PTO brakes were added. I wonder if there'll ever be a law suite because somebody was injured trying while trying to connect a PTO shaft while the engine was running because they couldn't rotate the drive to line up the coupling while the brake is on.<br>
<br>
I wonder if some of the redesigns are motivated by manufacturers deciding that the standard compact is one with HST and all gear compacts are economy models? If so, then why make an economy model with a TX driven PTO and a luxury economy model with live PTO when it probably easier to steer many owners into HST' tractor.<br>

I don't know when I'll get around to it, but there's a small chance that an e-mail to me from an Allied engineer survived on my old computer. The CS tech support person passed my question to a design engineer. He e-mailed me tech drawings and explanations.

Anyway, there's a chance that an e-mail to a design engineer who might still be in company (located in Winnipeg at that time) would know about 250 models and that sort of information has become isolated from CS staff in the new company organization.

I think my Ford and the 6100 have different type pump drives. A couple of comments about the Ford drive may jog something.

There are three timing marks on the idler gear as well as an external mark and pointer on the crank pulley and a matching mark on the pump and housing. The three marks on the idler gear match with those on the crank, cam and pump gears when #1 cylinder is on a compression stroke. If I recall, the marks don't necessarily line up each time they pass each other, but all three should match when #1 cylinder is on a compression stroke.

The basic orientation of the pump to the crank and cam is set because the pump shaft is keyed into the pump drive gear coupler. The coupler is torqued to the drive gear face by bolts that go through slots. The slots allow a range of rotation of the pump shaft that is independent of the drive gear position. With all gear marks aligned, the pump shaft is rotated to just stop fuel delivery to the #1 injector (That is the spill time adjustment). Index marks are made on the coupler and drive gear for future reference. I have to guess here that the range of spill time adjustment wouldn't be sufficient to allow proper spill timing to be set if the pump gear and idler marks didn't match.

I don't know if this is at all helpful, but I do know that there should be complete certainty that the timing is right before chasing after the knocking. Dang, I've been in situations where I've torn things down again just to gain certainty because I tend to start second-guessing myself. Now that I've got a digital camera, I'd probably take a bunch of pictures just so I couldn't second-guess myself. Not a great way to start the year and I hope you find the answer without much more aggravation.

CJ- After spending six months doing research on used tractors..( internet,want ads, talking to farmers, etc. ) I found a Kubota L2350 : 4 wheel drive, power steering, turf tires, ROPS, 500 hrs of use, at the local Kubota dealer for $6,500. This price included a six foot 3ph finish mower. I mow approx. seven acres of my 40. I agree with Tom, manuverability is kinda tricky. It just takes a little time getting used to the movement of the mower. I'm not fussy 'bout the finish on the grass, so there are some scalped spots. I've located a used FEL from a private party for $1500. Still not sure if it will fit my tractor, but my total investment would be $8000.
