Given the advantages of each, and I'm a Kubota Guy, I would take the NH hydro tranny over the Kubota glider and 4 cylinder. but that's just me.

I am new on this site. I scanned the traffic here before visiting three nearby dealers. Your msgs were most helpful. Best offer was $18K for BX22 TLB, 60" mmm, 4way valve, 12" blade, 54" front mount snowblower. (wheel weights and delivery tossed in during final negotiation). Next best offer was nearly $2K more.

I have a 1300 Ford compact tractor with turf tires that I made spacers for. I needed just a little bit more clearance for when using chains. I made them 1 inch thick. They work excellent. I left them on all year but only need them for snowblowing. I went to a local bolts supplier to got the longer metric bolts that I needed. (mine has standard metric bolts but yours may be lug type) I made mine out of 1 inch stainless steel that I got where I worked. They were very easy to install. The biggest cost was the hardened metric bolts. I read on some other site that they didn't recommend doing thisbut I didn't have any other choice. My land is flat and I only mow about 4 acres and snowblow a 350 foot driveway with my tractor. So far no problems with the spacers. I chech the wheel bolts regularly but have not had any loosen up.

I am looking to get a 48" rotary cutter for a 4115. I have looked at some at the dealer but I find each one has there merits. does anyone have input on the JD LX4 vs BH SQ480 vs Woods 48". I was told the SQ480 was not availible with a slip clutch but most other differences seam minor.

trailmaker, if you have budget constraints (and don't we all) the John Deere 790 4wd should fill the bill and be able to easily handle a 5' rotary cutter. It a great but not fancy tractor that is suited to a variety of tasks. May be what you are looking for. If you are going the other way. The 4310 or 4410 would be a better choice for the 5' rotary cutter, but your budget may not accomodate those models.

Plots, your assumption is correct, I don't use the tractor to mow at all.

So far, my BX has done everything I have asked it to do in terms of backhoe use, so I expect the new 4115 will do the same.

I have some really rough ground and I am constantly running over softball sized rocks and exposed roots. By the end of the day on the BX my back is sore from all the jostling.

The tractor handles it fine in that it doesn't get stuck or anything, but I have to go real slow and even then it is hard on my 50 something, previously injured back.

The other feature I am missing on the BX is a position control on the 3PH. I do a fair amount of grading and leveling and it is quite a bit more difficult without that feature.

The Deere 4100 handles the ground (and my back) much better due to its larger tires and does have a position control for the 3PH, but it does not have a hydrostatic transmission, which I have come to really appreciate.

So, the 4115 will combine the best features of both tractors and get me back to just one tractor payment.

Guess that all depends on how much you want to do an your 115 acers.Doc could tell you more about the machine beings he has one. I'm surely not downing the machine but it seems a little small for working over a 115 acer piece.As far as that goes I don;t think my 790 would be a good pic either.depending on what type of tires you get , Ags are probley more punture resistent then turfs, R4's are probley the best as far as being punture proof.AS far as clearance goes that most likely depends on the lay of your land. having larger tires help's.

Tom; the detergent in oils emmusifies water but it is not added to oil for that but to increase the holding capacity of the oil. To increase the ability of the oil to suspend dirt. One of the biggest differences between a diesel certified oil "C" and a gas engin oil "F" is the detergent package.
Water absorbed into the oil is one reason that it is good to have the engine fully heated before it is shut off. In cool damp climates (or boats) you can see the oil froth at the breather etc. You need to drive the water that has condensated out of the system.
You are right an electric motor should not use a detergent oil. They do not heat up enough to drive off the water vapor. I have made that mistake before. Any other equipment that does not heat up enough should also be the same way, air compressors, sewing machines etc.
Most of the older gas engines I rebuild were run with leaded gas. Maybe the sludge build up was due to the lead and not normal old age. I have rebuilt a few head since but they were not as old. Certainly they looked cleaner. Better oils and no lead certainly make a difference.
I guess the question then comes down to is the heavy dark soot in the used diesel oil, break down of the oil rather than combustion products?

I have worked on some newer resin teak ply boats that were really not much more work than a glass boat. A couple had retired to one in the bay when I was a teen. I sailed it with him a couple of times and helped him bottom paint it a few times.

Worked on some older yellow cedar boats. It is remarkable how long the wood will last in the water. There are not to many even know how to do major repairs the larger boats today. How many people have steamed planking?

The chickens would help and so might some lime. I dug a pit about 12' x 8' x 2' a few years back. We've been putting unshredded leaves and pine needles in pit late fall, mounding it up several feet above grade and covering it with soil. Some nitrogen fertilizer and lime also are added.

I turn it over a few times during the spring and it seems like there's always a yard or two on the bottom that's ready for use by fall. I add the compost to garden in the fall, which makes room for the new batch of leafs that are about to drop. Works pretty well but I do have to keep sticks and twigs out of the pile and a chipper/shredder would let me use more material and speed up the composting.

A dedicated hoe and loader probably would be better at digging than tractor mounted attachments. The costs and time of maintaining an entire second machine should be added on to purchase price, which could be a bunch for a used hoe.

If the need for a hoe is occasional and light duty, a less expensive 3ph hoe might be considered with due consideration for the possibility of damage to the tractor.

If somebody has a parts manual, an exploded diagram should show the bracket. It may be that the bracket is considered a common hardware part to be supplied by a dealer. Manuals usually show such parts, but they don't have part numbers. Manuals also usually indicated each part supplied in a sub-assembly. At least in my Ford manual, it's not uncommon that a sub-assembly doesn't include mounting hardware.

I know I'm not being very helpful here but I have neither a picture nor a manual. I'm just making a point that parts manuals can be very useful.

I've heard of parts assembled by shrink fitting--sort of a poor man's press fitting. An inner part such as a shaft is placed in dry ice and the outer part is heated with a torch. Something like that may be helpful here and might allow the rail to be rotated. I think rotating it is the key to getting the rail out.

My Ford manual makes a point of saying the ball detents must be 'collected' if they aren't removed before removing the rails. From a picture it looks like they are held in their receptacles by the top-cover and probably could be removed with one of those magnet-finger things when the cover is off. Well, that wouldn't help if a ball is stuck but it might be a test to see if one is stuck.

Besides most people put those in a cheap frame and hang them on the wall.
