I don't want to take sides on this air vs liquid cooled diesels.(I personally like liquid).<br>
But I can tell you that I have been around many Duetz air cooled diesels.<br>
Several asphalt rollers we have had at the company I work for are air cooled Deutz.<br>
Some smaller Ingersol Rand rollers use them.<br>
Our Dyno-Pac 10 ton roller and 3 ton Hamm roller use the Deutz air cooled diesel.We have put thousands of hours on them and rarely have problems.As far as Duetz goes they seem to be a very good motor.<br>

If it has a foam type air filter, it should have a very light coat of oil on it. The paper type is a dry filter.

As I replied to Ducatti privately, the 48" deck is much more masive than the 44" deck tipping the scales at around 220#. Dealer told me that there was a $350 price difference between these 2 models.

I also think the clogging and clumping is more an issue of how jucy the grass is over just being wet. I also found that when I took off the deck there was a great deal of grass stuck to the underside of the deck and was concentrated in specific locations including at the aft end of the discharge shute. Boy am I glad I went for the 48" model.

You could also try selling it on eBay or just find another at auction for sale so you can watch the final selling price. This will give you a idea what it is really worth.

I know fairly little about some of the other Korean brands but ALL I have seen have been nice machines especially for the buck. It is only my view but personally I thought the blue was the poorest value to dollar cost. I an not saying they are not nice machines but some dealers on the blues here charge MORE than the green. While some of the lesser known brands may sell for less and trade slower they also cost less to begin with. I have looked at the Kioti and I would love to have a weekend to play on a CK20. They look top notch to me.

I have a TC 40D that is just over 2 years old (out of warranty by 2 weeks). I was just out in the field tilling and noticed a bolt had vibrated loose on my tiller. When the tractor was in the drive while I tightend the bolt I noticed some fluid had dripped from the tractor. Upon close inspection it appears the impeller shaft seal has went out on the water pump. Has anyone experienced this with thier TC35/40/45 tractors? I've only got 287 hrs on this machine and I'm a little dissapointed to be losing a water pump already. Any similar experiences would be appreciated. THANKS!

I was looking at these rotary cutters and they seem pretty stout built and wanted some feedback from any owners or operators who have used them. Thanks.

I just clicked over 10,000 miles yesterday on a trip. About 250 miles round trip with cruise control on as much as possible at 57 mph. Computer was telling me around 21 mpg average but I have about 11% larger diameter tires. When I do the stubby pencil method and add in about 10%, comes to just a tad over 23mpg. I was looking at some engine mods but kinda hate to mess with success. ;o)

As we started this post the key is equipment. On tractor may be unstable at any angle even with balast on a side hill. I would not want to mow across a hill with tricyle gear.
At the beginning of the post I added a link to a tractor that is designed to work on side hills. Having been a hill billy in KY I look for a tractor that is stable. I had enough close calls to realize the more stable the tractor the less likely I am to have trouble.
The other aspect of it is experience. You can work to the edge (not with out risk) if you have the experience. The other day the Discovery had a Indonesian man that cut the roads for large gold mines on the west side of New Guinea. Everyone said it couldn't be done, the razor back ridges were just too steep. But he did it. The road still requires cats to winch the trucks up it. The mans sence of balance was set so fine that he fould operate equipment were no one else dared.

Thanks for your reply.

So then, is 2500 lbs including loader typical for the small lawn tractors? If so, then I guess that it's too heavy for carrying around in the back of the stakebed, especially when the hoe is added to the mix, and I'd need to trailer it.

Or can I expect the smaller tractors to be significantly less than 2500 lbs? I guess what I'm asking is how big your tractor is in comparison to mine.

I need to dig to depths of up to 5' plus condits and sand bed, meaning 6' deep trenches. I don't 'expect' to be doing much in the way of excavating, but your points are well taken.

As far as the hydralics go, the lawn chief doesn't have a pump as all the accessories are belt driven. So I was assuming that I would use a belt to drive a pump. The question I have is if an 18 hp tractor is adequate enough to drive a large enough pump and the tractor.

Regarding weight, I would definitely plan on having a loader on the other end. I'm getting too old (or is it smart/lazy) to backfill the sand , and clean up the dig with a wheelbarrow and shovel ... B)

Regarding the three point hitch and tractor frame strength. Is this possible to beef up during construction (adding stell to the frame) of the backhoe. Or is all this simply impractical and I should consider a bigger tractor. For me small is good. The smaller that I can get away with the better. I definitely want sufficient size to do the tasks described, but I'm thinking that with reduced size I can get in tight spaces while trenching, and transport issues are minimized.

If I were to look into a bigger tractor, how can I find out what my tractor is worth? I am finding very littel info on the web concerning the lawn chief brand.

The Yanmar tractors are a better built tractor than the Chianese. Here is my standard reply on the Vietnamese reconditioned tractors. "These tractors are usually the poorest quality tractors available in Japan. They are shipped to Viet Nam & "reconditioned". To the Orientals reconditioning usually means a paint job. I really question if they are thoroughly reconditioned. Probably enough is done to sell them . Most have either new hour meters or they are turned to 0. Many times these tractors have a warranty, but if you have a problem after the warranty period, it is your tough luck.They are purchased cheap enough in Japan that they can afford to take some back. They can usually get their money out of them at a auction. There are some very unscrupulous people selling these tractors. There are some very honest , uninformed people also selling them. I have heard some real horror stories from dealers that have purchased them for resell & from retail purchasers. One dealer purchased a load of them & the fwd axles were full of mud. Like anything if the price is low enough they may be a good buy, but usually they are more than a better quality tractor with original paint." I'd recommend a good quality Yanmar over the others. Because of variance in quality of reconditioned tractors it is hard to say which would be better.

The Kubota dealer 4 miles from the house stocks and uses only Deere fluids. The Kubota dealer 45 miles away stocks/sells/uses only Case fluids.

I have to travel 120 miles to find a Kubota dealer that actually uses and stocks Kubota fluids.

That is why I gave up and went two miles to the Chevron distributor and got their full synthetic hydro fluid. It meets Super UDT specs (as does Amsoil) and the Chevron stuff is even the same orange color. I suspect that is where it comes from anyway.

Maybe one of our dealers can shed some light on this for us.

Usually the pump whines because it is starved. If you haven't cleaned the pickup screen , I'd recommend it. It is the easiest & cheapest thing to do. Use a Universal hydraulic/transmission fluid = > to JD303.
