I guess the first question is what are you going to do on 2 acres in south Florida that you need a 4630 for? Personally, I would get something appropriate for the present then sell it when you move. Save the expense of shipping it and get a tractor appropriate for each property. On two acres, I would look at a BX2200 or B7500 at about 1/3 the cost of a 4630! JMHO

I was quoted a price of 14,000 on a TC30 4WD and 7308 FEL. Was told to shop around and compare other makes then come back and we'd talk.

John, I'm from the Southeastern part of the state near I-70 and I-77 area. I bought this tractor from my neighbor. I'm not sure if we are talking about the same guy. His name was Dan.

I used Shell Rotella with great results in my old Ford Powerstroke diesel pickup and just wanted to pass on the fact that it is available in both Sam's Club and BJ's for around $33 for a case of 6 plastic gallons. That's far better than truck stop and part store prices around here if you have a wholesale club nearby.

Thanks. My gut told me that the price was way out of line. The dealer is just that - a dealer and nothing more. I saw no other tractors there for service and no facility other than a two car garage to service anything. In fact, it is basically a used car lot with two Centurys and a Zetor among the cars.

The other local dealer is 1 hr 45 min north of me in Honesdale, PA. I need to get up there and talk to him. I know that he is a real machinery dealer as he also handles Kioti and Yanmar cranes and generators and so on.

The voltage test described by slowrev basically checks the regulator. If the battery can be assumed to have normal internal resistance and the alternator is OK, then the regulator is working if the voltage doesn't exceed a speced value above idle rpm's. My shop manual procedure calls for 15.5V measured when there is a 30A load (for a 35A rated alternator) on the system and after burning the headlights for a minute before the tractor is started. Conditions where the regulator has to regulate have to be created for the test to be completely valid. Other tractors may have different specs.

If the voltage output test fails the shop manual procedures go on a current output test and if that fails there are a series of other tests for the regulator and alternator. The tests are easy enough but shop manual procedures should be followed. Creating a 30A load may be a little tricky without a carbon pile, but then the 30A's isn't exactly rocket science.

I started out thinking that I didn't want to maintain a bunch of standalone small engine stuff but that's what I ended up with. We had two lengthy power failures last winter at night at below -0F. I was glad I didn't have to swap the snowblower and a pto generator in the cold and dark.

That's an argument for a standalone generator. However, I guess I do need to put a bit more time into maintaining it. The first failure was during -10F to -15F and the generator was unhappy with the idea of starting. Running it a few minutes a month and keeping 10W-30 oil in it didn't do the trick and I probably couldn't have started it without warming up the shed with a propane burner.

I wonder if the 20HP speced for the 7KW generator is engine or pto HP and I wonder if the 7KW is peak or continuous. 2HP/KW is a fairly common allowance for peak powers and 20HP for 7KW is a generous but probably desirable allowance. In theory, 1HP produces nearly 750W.

When I removed some sod I used my box scraper scarifiers just deep enough to cut through the sod in one direction and then repeated going across the cuts so I had squares of cut sod. The box was rolled up and held off the ground with the 3ph. I repeated going across the cuts to sort of make squares of cut sod. The squares mostly pulled off the soil with the box rolled down and the scarifiers retracted. It wasn't quite as neat a process as it might sound but many of the sod pieces were large enough to be used elsewhere. The soil is sandy here and I don't know how well it'd work on clay.

A loader tooth bar should be capable of cutting sod but the teeth would be pushed through the sod rather than pulled through like with the box. The tendency would be to jack-knife the tractor and loader, which would lift the front and remove most traction from the front tires. The rear tires probably would spin frequently. It might work better with the lift in float, but if the bucket digs in too much the bucket sticks and the tractor jack-knives over the bucket. Actually it's pretty easy to break a loader doing this sort of thing, so ground speed should be slow.

I've owned a JD 4400 and talk about junk, that would be the one, but my Kubota 3710 HST that took its place has never once let me down. Strong and well thought out (don't let me forget to mention made of metal) my Kubota is about the best thing I've bought in years. I wouldn't know how good my dealer is. You see since the Kubota hasn't broke down I haven't needed the dealer. In the CUT class, this is a real machine.

Bernie, fortunately I didn't pay a "Deere price" for the brackets (the forks were enough). I've often thought of attaching them to things like 3PH forks. Forks for the 3PH are cheap compared to the forks for the loader. But a set of those brackets could turn the 3PH forks into loader forks with no bucket required. They'd be easier to attach and not as tippy as bucket forks. It also makes me wonder why they charge so much for loader forks!

I got kubota's B40C tiller for my BX22 and I love it! My soil is clayish with lots of stone(virgin soil). I take it slow and when I hit a rock I lift it, turn around and put the loader to work. It goes though my garden(previously tilled) like butter and perfectly prepares the soil in one pass, and in these areas a larger unit wouldn't hurt. But for me the "40" is more manageable in the virgin areas. It's your call. Good luck!

Hey Guys I'm new to the board but I have learned alot in just the last few days. I'm was selling my JD 750 4wd and getting ready to purchase what I had thought would be the perfect replacement, a TC33D and was going to wait for the new 14LA FEL when it came out! Now I don't know what to do?
Is there any way to confirm if the 14LA will fit the current TC33D? The TC35 is little big for my use, maybe I should reconsider it or wait on the new TC33D purchase all together until new models come out?
Thanks for all your help

I believe I'd be looking at the next series up, the TN's. They compare favorably price wise to the TC series. I think even the 3010 would be a better choice than the TC33 for your use. Unless you are looking for something to finish mow and clean out the barn.

The number stamped on the tractor is YM155D-55830. The model 1220 apparently was given to it by Great Bend Manufacturing Co. I do not know how one model number is associated with the other.

Does anyone have an idea where to get such parts?

Art is the costant full load the most difficult application for an oil? I never considered a marine application to be any more difficult than a automotive. Diesel electric application such as train engines are no particularly hard on oil. The most difficult technology diesel test are normally run on city busses. The most demanding application I can think of is the high lines for logging. The diesel speed typically cycles up and down one a minute.
I believe that the oils would advertise NY city taxi tests as being the most difficult.
All this makes sense if you look at the dynamics of oil. Under load the when spinning up and down the engine produces a lot more carbon, which dirties the oil a lot quicker. Even my truck has two different schedules based on highway and in town miles.
If you believe that the OEM labelled oils are any different than the standard heavy duty diesel oils good for you. I just would like to know why my 50K$ diesel marine engine does not require a OEM oil. It certainly required the Cat rep. there when it was first fired to hold my waranty.
