I've been using a Woods 650 backhoe on my orange for about thirteen years now, the latest undertaking was a boat launch/ramp in VT...nothing there befor except for a shore full of BOULDERS about 5'egg shaped by 6' to 8' long. The 650 did a fine job with my orange, a 1987 B5200, with plenty of power to spare.

I used a 16" bucket at the time. I needed a smaller(narrower) bucket for electrical trenching and went to my local woods dealer. You are correct...I was quoted $300.00 for the 10" bucket also, plus an additional $50.00 for the pin and washer kit. This secondary kit, is used to accomodate the old with the new, as the buckets will fit either the new version, The "Grounds Breaker" or the older as I have the "BH650" with the the use of the kit. I did not purchase at the dealer, rather, I found three sizes at an auction about a month later. All were brand new - a 10",16", and a 24". They went for $90.00 each,any or all. I picked the two smaller buckets to take home.

Many different factors govern the "value" of any piece of equipment, including, just how bad a would-be purchaser falls in love with it.

Give us the s/n of the tractor, with or without FEL, number of hours, tire tread style, and yes overall appearance such as fading paint, dents, scrapes, ROPS, etc, and we can give you a ball park on its value.

This looks like a good candidate for the Safety Section of the forum. Think you can move it over there for maximum exposure? Thanks

Preventing Surviving Tractor Overturns

I'll let somebody who knows Yanmars make the oil call. Most compact tractors have a single case for transmission, differential and hydraulic reservoir. For most tractors it's all from the same place and for many tractors most any oil sold as transmission/hydraulic oil works. There are issues of petro vs synthetic and winter vs summer blends though. I'm not aware of any compact that requires a special oil like the automotive F-type automatic transmission fluid issue but somebody who knows Yanmars could say.

A whining sound often is the pressure relief valve rather than the pump. The relief opens to relieve high pressures that can result from heavy loads, obstructed or disconnected lines. If the tractor has a loader, on many hookups, the lift won't work if a loader valve is open or the inlet or outlet are disconnected. If the tractor doesn't have a loader, changing the position of a diverter valve from the remote to auxiliary position will open the relief.

It may not be the relief, but if it is, it's not good to run a tractor for long in that condition. The oil will over-heat and damage the pump.

A pump can whine as a result of failing bearings etc. but I don't believe it's that all that common. A more common pump problem is cavitation from an obstructed, broken suction line or clogged filter. The sound usually is more of a rattle or buz. The lift on a tractor with a clogged filter usually works for a while, the power deteriorates and then it quits until it sits for awhile. It might be good to change the filter on general principal. It's also important to cure this type problem before running a tractor much.

There's no time for the clutch really. Figure the rear tires on a tractor with 30" outside diameter tires going 8 mph ground speed turn a revolution about every 2/3rd of a second. It would take about half of that time to flip a tractor if it were climbing its axles. Something to think about. Realizing what's happening and then trying to clutch in that length of time.

I currently own a 1962 Ford 601 Workmaster tractor. <br>
I have a BushHog SQ600 cutter. <br>
I keep approx. 12 acres brush-hogged. The land is an old hayfield + I mow between rows of an old apple orchard.<br>
<br>
I would like to sell the old Ford and get something a little more modernized. Last year I rented a Mahindra 3510 and it performed well.<br>
<br>
I am not a "professional farmer" i.e. I like to keep the land clean so my kids can enjoy it. I do not need a front end loader or anything like that. <br>
<br>
I have two friends here in town, one owns a Mahindra franchise, the other Kubota. I've also researched Eicher & Century. Today, a very nice owner of an ag equipment company told me to think long & hard about a "compact tractor" and mentioned Zetor tractors. Things to consider he said were: overall wheelbase, overall weight, engine torque capabilities, gal.per minute of hydraulic system, lift capacity of 3PT. All very good, I thought, and some I hadn't thought of. <br>
<br>
I suppose I'm looking to get insight from those that may know pro vs con when it comes to "compact tractors". The acreage I mow is both flat and quite hilly-it's both!!<br>
<br>
Anyway, the more informed thoughts and opinions I can get from folks "in the know" would be greatly appreciated.<br>
Thanks,<br>

Well, being the rep and all, I'm biased but the 364 is the most solid value on the market.

I NEVER MET A REP THAT DIDN'T FEEL THAT WAY ABOUT HIS PRODUCT(S) :-)

Pacesetter doesn't quite understand that Eicher has been around longer than Mahindra and Kubota.

AROUND WHERE? NOT THE U.S. FORD HAS BEEN AROUND LONGER THAN BMW, WHAT DOES THAT PROOVE?

They have been here since 97 and in those years have not had a single reported engine failure with tractors in warranty or out of warranty. They are covered by a 2 year, unlimited hour warranty. First year is bumper to bumper and second is powertrain only.

MORE THAN THE SIX MONTHS TYPICAL OF A CHINESE TRACTOR, BUT NOT AS GOOD AS MOST OTHER TRACTORS. I HAVE TWO YEAR BUMPER TO BUMPER INCLUDING THE FEL ON MY CENTURY. NH HAS THREE YEAR POWERTRAIN.

Yes, they are aircooled,

I DON'T KNOW OF ANY AIR COOLED ENGINES THAT ARE AS RELIABLE OR QUIET AS LIQUID COOLED. SIX YEARS IS STILL REALLY TOO NEW TO HAVE PUT THEM TO THE TEST. ALL OF THE BETTER MODELS OF HONDA, JD, SIMPLICITY LAWN/GARDEN TRACTORS ARE LIQUID COOLED. MORE AND MORE MOTORCYCLES ARE LIQUID COOLED. NO OTHER CUT OR UTILITY TRACTOR IS AIR COOLED THAT I KNOW OF, AT LEAST FOR SALE IN THE U.S. TELLS YOU SOMETHING

but come featured with powersteering live PTO and the highest torque ratings in its class. Don't forget draft control as well. Tipping the scales at 4000 lbs, it is a stable, solid handling tractor. Many owners say that the tractors have the best "feel" that they have ever tried. They aren't platform though neither are they tunnel mount. It is a relatively low tunnel and as you can see in the ad to the right seating is higher above the dash for better visibility.

I HAVE ALL THAT AND I HAVE A PLATFORM NO TUNNEL - AS IN NONE, NOT RELATIVELY LOW. HOW MANY CYLINDERS? HOW MANY SPEEDS? SHUTTLE? FULL SYNCRO? HYDRAULIC SPECS? 3-PT LIFT SPECS? FEL SPECS? ALL THINGS TO THINK ABOUT THAT AREN'T MENTIONED

List price 9995. Plenty of dealers will work with that price. Even if they won't nothing competes for the price.

IF THAT'S 4WD AND FEL, NOT BAD. IF NOT HOW MUCH FOR 4WD, FEL? IF AROUND $15K, YOU'RE CLOSE TO THE KOREANS. SEEMS TO COMPETE WITH THE CHINESE AND WITH THE WARRANTY DESERVES MORE CONSIDERATION THAN THEY DO IN MY OPINION. IF THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING FOR.

Check out my pics! These are real owners and real world conditions.

If the problem is over charging then the problem is the regulator. Obviously the regulator is set at too high a voltage. Adding resistance in the line only masks the problem. I guess you could also buy the biggest battery available that will fit in the area to add resistance.
This does not explain why the new tractors on the lot with few hours have problems. It must be poor charging system and poor battery.
I have seen the same problems with my deeres so I think some is also location. In the old MF the battery rides up near the center of the tractor so it gets a smoother ride.
I am not saying the plates don't drop out of the old MF though. It all depend on how rough the field is.

It is good to have a president that understands, a little about the sacrificies made in the military.
I am also aware that he needed to fly out to meet the carrier if he wanted to welcome the whole ship's company. The flight wings leave the ship some miles out from shore as the carrier is most vulnerable to sub attack near port and the jets can not fly off while the carrier is in port.
Nice press play if we can afford it.

Everything was updated from the 17XX to the new boomer line. But the TC-30 is and was a good tractor. The new series has a little better access on and off the tractor and the location of controls but if the TC-30 is comfortable for you then?
I might rather spend the extra on the hydro trans and the independent PTO which will definately make a difference.

I think Deere cuts costs by not installing a temp gauge. My 4100 does not have one.

My Bx has a temp gauge but no tach. Go figure. If I had to choose between the two I would choose a tach.
