They are a little expensive and I have never bought one, but I really like some of the high quality Sharps rifles with the long barrels in 45-70. I have seen some beautiful case hardening/coloration on some of those guns. The workmanship from some of the guns coming from South Dakota or somewhere in that area is outstanding. I don't remember who the manufacturer is.

Psimonson thanks for the info in your note, the web site link did not work though, so if you could provide again. My tractor gets delivered this afternoon. JD 2210, FEL 53", MMM 62", JD 4' bush hog, front blade, snow blower, imax quick hookup, balance box, rear work light, turf tires. Have a rear blade keeping from the Lo-Boy I will be selling. Been waiting awhile for it but still getting it a month before they originally thought.

My dealer also said that should not use a backhoe on this tractor. He said for as little as I would use one just go rent it. He is right, it is just the convenience thing to be able to put one on and do a little digging when you want Vs having to go rent one and pick it up. I am sure that those times would come when you are digging a little then it turns in to more and could tax the machine. I have hard clay not easy to dig. I would still like to get info then wait and see what happens with the 2210 in the future in this regard.

Both are nice machines and it would be tough to make a poor choice between theese two. They are both very different machines. The toughest thing might be finding a dealer with a 2210 in stock. What ever you choose definately make sure you get a good test ride. Ideally you will be able to find a dealer with both in stock so you can see them side by side.

MARS (Military Affiliate Radio System) is still in operation. I used to be a member of MARS, but now I turn my attention to the local emergency centers. It turns out that in many situations Federal, State and Local fire and police cannot communicate with one another and the Radio Amateurs fill that void. Amateur only refers to the point that we aren't paid for our actions, because we set up digital communication links, voice links and other forms of modern communication over vast distances.

We had another big fire last night. About three hundred acres burned right in the middle of housing. There were no structures lost due to the types of construction and the actions of the fire fighters. This fire was arson.

Many diesels cool down rather than warm much at slow idles. Especially on cool days, an engine can cool below operating temperatures and produce the incomplete fuel burning Art mentioned. It certainly sludges up the oil, and people who do it should at least shorten oil change intervals. You'll know it's happening if the engine makes gray smoke for awhile after it starts working again after a long idle.

In addition to wear from starting an engine frequently, starters also are very expensive. If I'm going to idle mine for very long I leave it at about 1,500 rpm, which is were I have it for warming up the engine.

To let idle or cut off that is the question

Willie: Our temps sound fairly similar and they sure are useful. It is good to check codes etc. Around here a much larger one than I have requires a building permit. Most things erected under a permit do affect property assessments and therefore taxes. It's possible that choosing a temp only slightly larger than one that's adequate may make the difference between no taxes increases or an increase. Some of the more urban municipalities around here even have by-laws forbidding temps so it's good to know before buying one.

What I was trying to say in my first post is that the comfort level with operating a tractor on a slope is a
"learned response." Experience makes all the difference.

I think that when people move from a garden tractor to a larger CUT, there is more movement and it takes a while for them to get comfortable. Also, with the CUT being larger and more powerful, you need to be more cautious in general.

But, to me, the difference between a CUT and garden tractor is like day and night in favor of the Compact Tractor.

24% slope should not be a problem. Just take it easy at first.

One other thing, with your nice lawn, you are definitely going to want Turf tires on the tractor.

I'm inclined towards Art's point that maybe how a tractor works is more important than it's specs and that minor engine differences can change the specs a lot. I think that a 30HP and a 33 HP NH engine are almost identical except for the governors.

Regarding the torque and HP stuff: Apples should be compared to apples. Pick a narrow enough range and most any distribution is flat. A better comparison might be the same rpm range centered on the rpm where an engine produces max torque. I think wider power bands tend to be defined for newer engines. From that perspective the torque curve on many older engines may not look flat at all.

I do believe that for similar HP engines, low-rpm ones would have higher torque (almost by definition) since they can't run much faster to produce higher HP's. They also would have flat curves since rpm's can't be varied much to make very wide ranges. As is often the case, everybody seems to be saying pretty much the same thing.

I don't exactly understand Peters's comment about adding fuel. The Massey may have different type governor than I'm used to. I believe mine is a constant speed type that attempts to maintain the rpm set with the hand throttle under varying load conditions by changing the throttle. I assume that the governor gives me full throttle in high load conditions. Peters comment makes the important point that operators of geared tractors should use a gear that they know will get them to the top of a hill. I probably could shift down with my synchromesh TX but I'd just as soon not have to try it.

Over-running clutches were mostly found on older geared tractors that had transmission driven PTO's. Most newer tractors with TX driven PTO's have internal over-running clutches. I bleieve that is generally true at least since the mid-80's and maybe earlier. My midd-80's Ford has live pto so it's not an issue but the standard non-synchronized TX does have an internal clutch.<br>

If the tractor has HST or live PTO, or if it does have a TX driven PTO and internal clutch then an external clutch probably is not an issue. The use of one also would defeat any PTO brake present.<br>

Sorry Mark, but the freight would kill me. I guess thats why they like us up here in the northeast. We just sold out and won't have them for a month. Just makes life interesting. It does amaze me that they are still offering 0% on this stuff when they don't have them. Normally they do it do to over inventory.

Chuckles, what is the matter with a BX Kubota, low profile, has all the attachments of the bigger tractors and close if not equal to the manuverability of the lawn mower. I don't see a need for a bigger tractor here unless it is for a bigger blower.

If I'm tight quarters while working give me a hydro. Thats for mowing and loader work. If you are going out to the big back forty and skid some logs off the hill, have 20 acres to be brush-hogged over hill and dale, give me a glideshift. Sorry boys that is where satisfaction levels are the highest! Unless you have a bare pocket and a broken down 8N then go for a economy tractor like the L-3000 and you will still notice a big improvement.

So, is no one going to 'fess up'? Seriously, from what I understand, the gentleman who called my dealer was disappointed when the quoted price for a B7800 was more than what I paid. My salesman assumed this gentleman and I were acquainted since he had all the 'dirt' on what I paid, etc. William (salesman) called me wanting the guy's name and phone number to provide an updated quote. He (William) talked to the owners of the dealership, and got approval to sell the B7800, and loader for the prices I posted above. The MMM would be slightly higher as there had been a price increase on this item from Kubota. The mystery caller had to have gotten the info from this site, so come clean!

This is like a good whodoneit!
