Topic

We are combining threads here.

I was complaining on another thread about tootin' along with my BX and running over a small rock or a root and doing a little bull riding along with my loader work.

I was trying to get Rob-Bob to tell us:

1) What sort of tires he is using,
2) What pressure he has in said tires(tyres?),
3) What rpm setting he is using for mowing, and,
4) Which gear range does he use for mowing (ok, one more)
5) aspirin or tylenol?

Two quick observations here folks.

One, if you fill ANYTHING with sand be sure the sand is going to stay bone dry, if it is able to absorb moisture it WILL, and then hold it forever, and I don't think a rusted out ROPS would do anybody any good.

Second, we use contact cement and and carpeting on the underside of cabs and canopies, not only does it make them much quieter (and add insulation to cabs), it sure makes the odd knock on the noggin from an unexpected bump or pothole less painfull.

Best of luck.

You were wise to shy away from that deal two years ago.

The 46 Backhoe is designed by John Deere specifically for the 4100, 4110 and the 4115. As best as I can determine at this early date, Deere has created a separate full length steel sub-frame to address the structural issues.

I think this is the first B/H designed with the 4100 in mind. I will shoot you a copy of what I have from Deere this A.M.

Turf tire rims are normally welded off center on the wider ones to keep them tight to the tractor so the gauge wheels on the deck will miss them. They do not have adjustable centers normally so that is not available.. They do try to make a tractor for all purposes and one that will perform well across a broad spectrum of uses which does limit on one end or the other.

The other day a fellow cam in that had bought a tlb compact from us. He was looking for a way to move dirt further then or more than a bucket at a time was feasiable for him. Sold him a street use dump trailer so he wouldn't need to hire a dump truck to haul from the quarry when he needs a ton or two of stone. The trailer sold to him has ramps so it will also haul the compact in the box so it serves two potential uses. His 3/4 ton 4/4 pickup pulls it just fine. We did address another tractor on his property but decided to try this to help pull it together at a lower cost and more use out of his truck.

I guess my impression would be combustion products--carbon from incompletely burnt fuel. But come to think of it oil is mostly carbon too, so thoroughly broken down oil probably would be black as well. Don't know, may be some of each.

I don't know exactly how detergents in oil work. From an ancient recollection I think that end of detergent molecules attract water and the other oil, and I guess that action can emulsify oil in water or water in oil. I don't know if particle suspension works due to the ability of detergents to emulsify or due to some other action.

I guess that if synthetics do have less particle suspension ability than petro oils then detergents probably work differently with synthetic bases. It's an interesting subject but it's also just idle curiosity on my part.

Tests required for us to get the 500 gallons of used engine and hydraulic oil we bought along with our camp proved to have lead contamination. I guess that the former owner had been collecting it since the days of leaded fuel. I'd guess that the gunk in old engines has a pretty high lead content. Most newer engines I've been into were motorcycle engines and they were fairly gunk free and that may be due to better oil or more frequent changes. Leaded fuel was still around at the time and few riders wanted anything to do with unleaded gas.

The 650's use a two cylinder engione which leaves them vibrating a lot. That is there biggest down fall. The price is right for the hours and the equipment but try it out a little before you buy. Start it, listen to it, drive it! Make sure that it isn't just a low price that has you excited but that it is a good deal and something that is no sacrafice the right tractor for you. I don't look forward to having those as trade ins as they are tougher to sell.

L-401 and 402's are the same for the most part as far as what they fit. Just the options are different.

Probably about 20% of our L's sold are Glideshift and they work very well. They have a very reliable past and many customers prefer them after owning them and will not go for the hydro's. Check the tractors out good if you can work with them check the ride out on rough ground or doing what you want to do. Lift the bucket with a good load and see if you can turn the wheels lock to lock at an idle or close to one. Look for the features that you might like and test them.

I bought my first home protection firearm when some drugged up idiot (high on breathing acetone) broke a window in my place and and was so high he didn't even respond to my screaming at him. Fortunately he wasted a lot of time playing with the broken glass (guess he thought it was interesting in the moon light), and then trying to pry the bars off the windows with my pickaxe (I lived in a pretty rough neighborhood at the time), and the cops showed up and he split before he could get in. The next day I bought a mossberg 12ga with pistol grip (now illegal in CA).

Sometime later, I was approached by my next door neighbor to give her rides into the heart of south central Los Angeles (school teacher) at 4:30 in the morning (I ususally left for work about 4:45 am anyways) as she was afraid to take the bus (can't imagine why). I was into backpacking at the time, so I bought a little S&W airweight 38 special to keep under the seat of the car. It's an aluminum alloy J frame and very hard to hit anything with.

So during the LA riots my brother and I went out and bought identical Ruger GP100 .357 revolvers. We also noticed that some neighborhoods were keeping safe by setting up road blocks and snipers on the rooftops with rifles, and those were largely neighborhoods that went completely untouched in the trouble zones. A lot of merchants downtown were banding together and employing similar tactics to defend their businesses. So I bought a mini 14 (I always wanted one, and now had a good excuse for it).

Between these weapons I have a decent arsenal for home protection, but all in all nothing comes close to a good dog IMO. They're like intelligent burglar alarms and can hear and smell intruders long before I ever could. If they don't actually scare an intruder off from the get go, they'll give you enough advance warning that a firearm might actually be of use.

The sad truth is that by the time an intruder is already in the home (especially in the room), it's probably too late for a firearm, and the advantage is already his, especially if he is packing.

I'd start with a good dog, as well as other deterrents (lighting, secure doors and windows, alarms, etc.) and then shop for guns.

Like someone else said, the gun you buy for protection is just as likely to be used on you. I think the best idea is to remove as much advantage regarding time and surprise from the badguy, and move it over to your side of the equation through common sense.

However, there's something to be said about the sound of a pump shotgun chambering a round on a quiet night that'll cause any boogey man to think twice about continuing with his plans.

I just pray that I'll never have to face such a situation again. It's far better to have a gun and not need one, than the other way around.

I have found the loader to lift every bit of what the specs. say it can do. I have been digging and moving alot of dirt around my lot, and am impressed. I don't know what your going over, but gount clearance without the deck is about one foot, baybe a bit more. A great tractor for the size and money in my opinion.

I recently purchased my 2210 with the 210 loader, and am glad I did so. Have used it a great deal moving dirt and leveling my lot. I don't know about the 5' brush hog, but I purchased a 60" box scaper rather than a 48" which was recommended, and the tractor has had plenty of power to handle it. I would think you should be able to check horse power requirements for your unit? I also purchased mine with a 62" mid mount mowing deck. It has done everything I could have ever expected of it.

First, I gotta learn to weld! Then I gotta buy a $900 welder! I hope to get to all that someday..... in the meantime $89 sounds like a deal.... and I can work on the landscaping and the sheetrock instead.

BTW, they supply the attachment bolts and a heavy restraining chain welded to a large bolt that goes on the swinging drawbar for that price.

Plots, I hear ya. I would go bigger IF money was no object. I have a list a mile and a half long for my hunting property though so I have to keep it in check. I DO expect to trade up at some point to either a 4115 or a 4210 but definately no bigger. Not haveing the 3pth adjustments like on the 4010 series is a MAJOR pia when gradeing. In fact it is very easy to make a bigger mess than you started with. Heck If I had my druthers I would take a 4710, and a garage and a cottage and and and ! lol.
