I have a B6200 that has never had a problem. While using the finish mower, I went through heavy grass and the engine stalled. Now I can't get the engine to crank at all. Any suggestions?

If the engine dies only after it gets warmed up maybe it is vapor lock. If you have a clear plastic fuel filter you can see there is gas flowing through the filter when the motor quits. If the filter is empty the fuel is getting hot and vaporizing. Try draining the gas and running 93 octane. Good luck

Forget crossing guards! In Alabama this crossing sounds like a good place for a stand!

I'm not aware of anything specific. Around here it's done with the front blades on log skidders or dozers but I don't imagine there's too much concern about what happens to the ground. The slash rolls are still there 30 and more years later and still aren't doing anything for the scenery.

Off the top of my head, it sounds like putting gauge wheels on a loader bucket and using it in float might do the job. There are some hydraulic grapple attachments and pushing with the grapple open would provide a couple of vertical arms to catch slash that would go over the top of the bucket. A homegrown stone rake discussed here used in a slightly different way also might push a bunch of slash.

When I was working in Nv. locating underground utilities, I was sitting in my truck looking at a Sierra Pacific Power map, I look up and here come no less than two dozen mustangs walking in the middle of the road. They come right by my parked truck like to say "what's up?"
Being form south Alabama, this was, to say the least, a site to see!

I anticipated 'novice' so I concentrated on some safety stuff. Working on side-hills is a bit tricky. I also figured the slope is the long way and the 4,000 sq. ft. was probably a portion of the plot that is more steeply sloped.<br>
<br>
The side leveler is on the 3ph and levels an implement side to side. Most rear blades have their own tilts and swings but I have to use the 3ph to lower one end of my box scraper to cut side grades. A rear blade may be the better implement for the job, but they tend to push soil to the side rather than carry it on the blade front.<br>
<br>
Grading is something of an art with either a blade or a box. I wouldn't expect to get good results right off and might practice on something less demanding first. If there are erosion problems on the roads, improving the, may be a good place to practice. Roads on slopes are generally crowned and ditched. Rock fills in the ditch slows down erosion. For severe problems, culverts can be run under roads to shunt flow to a terrace. Terraces can be planned to have good drainage angles of about 4-degrees to someplace desirable. Alternatively, if the roads traverse the slope then the ditches may have decent drainage angles. The terraces on the steep part might be channeled into the road ditches.<br>
<br>
But, all this is sounding a bit elabourate. Murf builds golf courses and he certainly knows the better ways of doing things. His comments about the number and width of terraces should be thought about. If the 12% slope was over the full length of a 200' slope, there'd be a 24' drop. Terracing it in five steps would result in 5' walls that almost certainly would need retaining walls.<br>
<br>
What you want to do may similar to old style irrigation. If land was sloped, the terracing needed to get irrigation ditches so they'd work could get very fancy. It just wasn't practical for a lot of land--guess that's why sprinklers became common. If I were doing it, I might invest in a laser level (I use a water level myself) so I could plot a set of constant elevation marks points for each terrace. If the slopes aren't constant and the steep slope traverses the plot, the constant elevation points won't be a straight line. If I wanted the terraces to drain to a ditch, I'd calculate end points that would give a 4% slope and eyeball the points in between. Now this is sounding really elabourate so maybe Murf has better suggestions.<br>

Make/model: Yanmar YM 1700

Purchased: Southern farm equipment

Problems: No majior problems

Dealer sastifaction: YES!

Would I buy this tractor again? You better beleive it brother!

Comments: This is by far the best 20 h.p. diesel tractor for any price. It's small for tight areas, but acts like a big boy on big jobs. (I bush hogged 5' tall wiregrass on a 9 acre food plot in 3 hrs!) Parts are available due to the fact Yanmar produces engines for marine generators as well as drive motors for boats. Living on the gulf coast, allows access to majior engine parts. Many dealers are stocking parts for these little guys. If the whole tractor goes up in flames, I'm only out 2k!
I'm looking at buying another, this one will be 20+ h.p. and 4wd!

I was pricing this exact unit before I bought a used TC45D. JD4310HST, rear tires loaded, 430 FEL with 61" HD bucket$18807. I had a coupon from Deere for $1000 off (just for signing up for something on their website), net price $17807, before tax. Get the hydro. Worth the extra $$.

Before I bought a TC45D last week (used), I had two quotes on a JD 4310 HST with a 430 FEL, both about18,900, but I was getting a $1000 rebate from Deere on top of that. Your deal sounds comparable on a comparable tractor.

This is just another time that modifications need to be done as there are few good statndards for this type of equipment. I wouldn't recommend a mower that size here in central NY do to the hills but it doesn't mean it won't work some place else. Drilling the ne holes to lower the pins is as good as any idea.

I have discovered that there are some serious advantages to considering my tractor ownership to be a small business. Many of these are in fact tax advantages such as impressive depreciation of the tractor and any associated equipment (including a vehicle for towing which is fully depreciated over 3 years!). I have had people approach me to ask if they can rent the rig, and of course I am asked to dig a hole or two now and again. I am concerned with 2 issues here: Liability and damage.

Does anyone have any experience / ideas on how to manage the liabiility of renting (or even lending) equipment or of doing small jobs for people?

Anyone care to comment (lecture if you must) on the risk of damage to equipment when it is operated by others? (I would expect to rent to only people who have indicated / proven some experience in running a backhoe).

Thanks

Thanks Harvey. Makes sense and I would have guessed big stuff had brakes. I can't see how they'd work otherwise. Quite awhile ago I mentioned a local story of somebody helping move a big double-wide with a utility tractor. Started up easily enough but wouldn't stop going down a a fairly gentle slope on a drive. The trailer pushed itself and tractor across a highway. The tractor started down the ditch on the other side and something on the tractor or trailer hitch broke so they had the trailer across the highway and no way to move it. Owner of the trailer worked for the highway department. Must have been a fun time. Last spring I saw some really big lime spreaders. I didn't notice if they had single of tandem axles but the spreaders with full hoppers would be very heavy. I guess those things would just have to have their own brakes.

I sure do see some huge round bales going by here on transport flatbeds. They probably weigh about a ton and I guess nobody who uses them has the little barn-yard utility tractors for that kind of work any more.

Yes, work sharing is the way it's done around here. Country people just find ways of getting what's needed done. Somebody around there probably has a baler.

I have two implements by Gearmore. A flail mower/shredder and a middle buster. Both are strong implements and trouble free. Construction is solid and I don't think I could hurt them. I chose a different tiller but only due to chance. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a Gearmore tiller based on my experience with their other products.

I ended up with a great deal on a 72" finish mower - but my hydro 16 PTO HP B2100 might isn't technically rated to take it. If it seems to run okay (except for slow-downs when the blades bottom) - will I tax my PTO? Can I hurt the tractor?

thanks,

I don't mean to be cynical but warranties are like Indian treaties they for the most part aren't worth the paper they are written on. As in the case of the cute story that Billy passmore wrote of the old man, the dealership did not have to go to court and prove the old man was abusing his truck, they just stopped honoring the warranty. This put the burden of proof on the old man and in almost all cases it is cheaper to pay to fix it yourself than to go to court and force them to honor the warranty. And as far as recalls are concerned Peters hit the nail on the head. Although that old man was the joke of the town, the joke is on all on us. Bernie123 for what it's worth I totally understand your frustration.
