Folks,
I have benefited greatly from the wisdom of this site. I am getting close to making my purchase. I have about 4 acres of finish mowing to be done ( with some trees). The question is 1) How much time / how hard is it to take off a MM mower for the TC40D and 2) Is there any value to SS if you are not using a MM mower and use a RM mower.
Thanks,
Larry

Art gave some good advice.

JD 650 have a funny sound to them that is like no other compact I have heard. I guess it's because of the tw cylinder engine. My 650 had a 60in (5ft) belly mower. It had plenty of power to run it. In fact, I now have a 60in belly mower on a zero-turn with a 25 hp kohler gas engine. The JD650 had more power to cut through the tall stuff.
Good luck

Jerry

I don't know what is the problem here but I attempted to post the Honda owner's manual link 5 times and it would not take it, just disappeared. You can still copy and paste to your web browser. Sorry Cutter!

I am kinda late to this party but I would suggest a Colt Officer's ACP (fire 45 ACP yet is simple,small,& light enough for a woman to fire), Benelli M3 Super 90 (fastest firing shotgun made & fires semi-auto as well as pump if the mechanism fails), the rifle is a toss up: either Ruger Stainless Mini-14 Ranch Rifle with high capacity magazines (good range & high capacity, can do serious tissue damage with small round), or Springfield Armory M-1A (can penetrate class II body armor & class III with SLAP rounds, reliable, simple to fire). I would vote for the M-1A

When you think of polymer material in general like attacts like material. Oils are oligomeric (small chain polymers) and therefore the same principle applies.

Synthetic oils are essentually short chain polyethylenes. Diesel and gas are complex mixtures of aromatics, unsaturated and saturated hydrocarbons. Naturally mineral oils are a mixture of aromatic and aliphatic oligomers.

Detergents are materials with hydrophobic and hydrophilic functions. They do not just emusify the oil but also suspend dirt particles in the oil. When you stop stirring the oil with out the detergent in the oil the dirt will drop out into your pan.

I recently helped a friend's son replace his oil pump on his truck. I was suprised at how clean the pan was despite having nearly 120,000 miles.

We have commented on the stability of the JD dealers in the past well the large dealer of JD and Kubota just folded. They had more than one lot in MS and a lot of stock.

I wish I would have given the 4115 more consideration when I bought mine. If I trade up it will likely be to the 4115.

I have a frontier 50" tiller and the 2210 handles it with ease. It probably weighs about 400#.

Mark You have it backwards. Go buy a welder then learn to weld. Just like tractor go buy it and start figuring out things to do with it...

I have a little Linclin ac/dc buzz box I bought at tractor supply for $250 me thinks. It had a scratch and a dent. Anyways it is the best deal going when you need something fixed or done on a Sat night or Sun.

I have even welded cast with it and no telling how many other cob jobs I've done with it. I'm not a welder but I do have a generous warranty 30 feet or 30 minutes... the biggest problem is the duty cycle of 20% when I built my wood stove I probably stressed it pretty good. Usually I bring a big gas/diesel welder home to do the heavy stuff.

When I get a few minutes I'll take a pic of the dog kennel/run/pen What-ta-heck ever any one wants to call it that I built and welded together, probably 2000+ square feet 6feet high. I keep used dogs. Usually 5 or 6 most are black with brown marking that no one else wants. They live in the house and have their own door to the run.

Harvey, the 4310 does have a small utility compartment on the left fender, but it's really small. It can't hold much more than my cell phone. My hammer won't even fit in it.

Good idea on the conduit for chain - I might try something similar with some 6" schedule 40 PVC strapped to the brush guard. The chain would probably coil up neatly and pull out fairly easily avoiding tangles. Is 1/4 chain strong enough for a 30 hp CUT? I figured 3/8 at a minimum.

I guess I qualify as a hobby farmer. I have a nice job with the university and my wife runs a horse farm on our 78 acres. The farm operation has a goal of making money, but it is subsidized by the regular job. I get to mow the pasture and other fun with my boys toys.

If you are considering going to a 30HP tractor, I highly recommend the TC-30. I also have the 7308 loader(with the 60"HD bucket w/cutting edge). With this loader I have moved full buckets of gravel,lifted and moved all of my implements, excavated a 10'x100' boat ramp (lots of digging and moving material).I have also used all of my implements behind this tractor with excellent results. I don't believe that you can buy a 30HP tractor that will outperform this one. I have just under 50 hours on mine and it has been absolutely a joy to operate with no problems whatsoever(the machine has been flawless). With the TC-30 there are no difficult maintenance issues. What you see is what you get - a good,basic, all-around tractor that is simple to operate and maintain.You will not be disappointed if you purchase a TC-30.

I use a King Kutter 60" rotary cutter mainly for mowing pasture grasses (leaves a nice manicured finish). I have 30+ hours on the mower and it has performed flawlessly.

Sorry for not mentioning the model, it is a Yanmar 155d
and the valve that operates the loader is a Yale, double spool. I have backed out the relief valve ,''fine thread screw with a jam nut'' I am assuming this is the relief valve you mentioned. Thanks again, deansa

These "cheap" backhoes show up, but I have always stayed away from them. I don't need a maintenance headache. A well used backhoe that you can get for $10K is likely to be just that sort of headache.

I bought a new TC45 with the 758C backhoe. I maintain both, but neither get abused. I know 100% of the history.

Considering TC40D w FEL and backhoe - why not used backhoe
