A co-worker has a John Deere 550 tiller for sale. It is in good condition with little use, paint is still good, tines are like new. What is it worth? He said he would take $1,000 for it. Thanx in advance for your replies.

Petrops, why not get the best of both worlds... get contractor's insurance and rent out your machine complete with you as an operator.

That way you get all the write-offs but none of the risk of letting others touch your equipment.

Having a yard full of iron myself this was a problem that arose regularly for me. Anyone who even remotely knew me, let alone geuine friends, neighbours, and worst of all, relatives, would want to borrow a peice of equipment to do something or another. At first I tried to be subtle about it, saying something like "You couldn't even get it home, you don't have anything that will carry it." That inevitably led to "Well you bring it over then." and when I said I was busy I got the "That's OK, I'll just use one of your trucks." This wasn't working very well at all.

My dealer gave me the solution. Tell everybody that the equipment is covered by a Contractor's Liability Policy, which it is, that forbids anyone who is not an employee and therefore named on the policy, from touching the equipment.

From there, "I won't charge you the normal rates of course, I'll give you a big discount, do you want an estimate before I send the crew over, or should I just have them keep track of the time and send you an invoice afterwards." was a very short, easy jump. This turned out to be an excellent idea and worked very well, most people were VERY understanding as soon as the word liability came up. My brother-in-law thought differently, mind you he always does, and got really steamed, he didn't talk to me for nearly two years except to tell me how much it cost him to pay someone to do the work that I should have lent him the eqipment to do himself!!! Unfortunately for me, two years later I bought a place down south, and as soon as the weather turned cold up here, he quickly got over this terrible defect in my character, LOL.

Best of luck.

Todd here from AZ. Recently purchased a TC33D w/758C BH. With my BH manual I received installation instructions on the hydraulics much the way Tom G. discribed installing a BH for "kfutavon". The loader valve does have PB, and there is a port in the tank in which the instructions point out very clearly how to connect to. However, the dealer set up is very different then the above. One line comes somewhere out of the loader valve which is different then what the instructions describes as Power Beyond and the other line comes out of the hydraulic manifold. This all works until you disconect the BH. Unless you reconnect the two lines into each other you don't have any hydraulics to the 3pt. This is very difficult because now the lines are lose under the tractor and you have to bend them at 90 degrees to connect them. It was explaned to me that the factory's and Tom G. way would not allow me to use the loader and controls with the BH hooked up. Can this be right? I'm very new to compacts and don't see to many in this part of the world to compair. Dealer says they've been doing this for years and it's never been an issue. They also said I shouldn't have got hold of the instructions. I do like the dealer a lot and feel they will work with me on this. Would like to know everybodys thoughts on this and if I can turn this around to make it a little more user friendly. Thanks, Todd

€hieƒ™, we don't all have spaces the size of barracks to clean, I was trying to be a little genteel about it...

If I was trying to be direct I would have suggested leaving the front and rear doors and windows open, then a low hover in the front yard, I'm sure the rotor wash will blast those pesky 'dust bunnies' out the other side... maybe the sofa too so be careful.

My 6000 has always been hard starting. You need three things:Plenty of battery, plenty of throttle and plenty of glow plug. Even in warm weather I heat the glow plugs for a full minute and start it at full throttle. Only use the compression release for the first 5 or 6 seconds of cranking and don't use it after that. This is assuming that your injectors are delivering fuel. Fresh diesel fuel DOES make a difference.
Good Luck!

Mike,
I split a Ford loader a few years back to put a clutch in and I expect the basics would work on your Kubota too. Park on a solid level area. We used 2 heavy jack stands and a steel beam under the front half and shimmed it with wood for fine adjustment. The back we put a barn scoop on the 3 point and loaded it for close balance and used a cherry picker (engine hoist) from the rear to roll the sections apart. FYI, A sticky clutch may be from oil on the disk. You may want to be prepared to fix a leak while you are in there. While you are in there I would highly recommend you have the flywheel resurfaced. Any auto machine shop can do this for you and some parts stores offer this service too. Replace the pressure plate and for sure get a new throw-out bearing. Its a job a friend and I did in one day. Watch your fingers and toes, there is some weight there. Good luck. Glenn

30 hp will do any thing a larger one will it will just take a bit more time. sharpen those blades sounds like you have plunty of cuttin to do. best of luck. bye the way i was thinking the price of a grapple imp could be put towards dozer fee, and if your dealing with an operator thats knows what he's doing he can push wood you want to cut accordingly. money saved on imp you might not use much afterwards plus speed of completing job.once again best of luck what ever you decide to do.

My 4300 had six of the suitcase weights on it. The book says that with the extension 10 is ok as has allready been pointed out. My experience was that 6 weights was not enough for the weight of a MX5-mower or a roll of hay on hayforks, but the addition of a 420 FEL solved the problem very nicely....

If you don't have any dash lights coming on, it's an electrical problem. You might check all the fuses and check for loose wires. Heck, even check the battery and terminals.

If you do have some of the dash lights coming on, with key on, then it's most likely a safety interlock issue. Wiggle and giggle them. Sometimes we forget to do one little thing that'll keep it from starting. Like PTO off, clutch in, in neutral and so on.

Reberta, TomG hit on the key point I was trying to make.

If the slope is down the 200' length then your problem is even bigger (or in this case taller) than I thought at first. The vertical difference is 24' (at 12% grade) and if you want wide terraces then the vertical drop is taken up in few steps, meaning each one is a bigger step. Even if you broke it up into 6 drops, each one would still be 6' vertically. If you take 6 drops of 6' each at 50' in width, that is 1,800 square feet of retaining wall if you went that way. I don't know where you are located but in most places that would be at least $30,000 if you were to hire someone to build that much wall, even just from rock-filled gabions (those big wire baskets, ugly, but cheap and funcional). That is a big job, a really big job. Probably a lot more than you and your Kubota are ready for.

My suggestion would be to consider one of the following;

1) hire a local excavator to dig the hill back at the top, and fill in at the bottom to reduce the grade to a maximum of 6% grade, then you & the 'Bota spread topsoil over the new grade and start the new grass cover.

2) buy copious amounts of the special 'hillside' seed mix that the Highways people use now, it is a mixture of grasses that don't grow more than 6" or so, and wild flowers of various description. It will take a little while to achieve, but when it's doen you end up with a beautiful 'au naturel' hillside that never needs to be mowed, so grade is irrelevant.

Best of luck.

€hieƒ™, you're probably right about the fire extinguisher, but then the rotor wash would probably mess up the pattern anyway. But hey, speaking of rotors, think of the grass you could cut with 1800+ hp...The "Tim The Toolman Taylor Grass Special"....

Of course that still wouldn't be quite as much fun as air hours....

Best of luck.

Big mowers have a lot of inertia and they do put extra strain on pto drives--especially when starting them up.<br>
<br>
It's not all that uncommon to use an over-sized implement. The added weight may make a tractor more tippy but usually the power requirements can be moderated by going slower or taking smaller bites. <br>
<br>
The distinction between wear and damage can be a fine one. You probably would get shorter life from the pto drive. I'd avoid starting and stopping it frequently. If it has a mechanical pto clutch, I might add an over-running clutch if there's not already one. An over running clutch would reduce stress on a clutch each time engine rpm decreased. However, the mower blades then would free-wheel for awhile after the tractor was shut down and may be a safety hazard and would defeat a pto brake if the tractor has one.<br>
