Doc, I bought a 20 ton log splitter from Harbor Freight with Honda 5 hp engine. Get the Honda those things run for ever and are real good on gas consumption. Mine has a 1 gal. tank and will run all day and not run out. I think I paid about $850 for mine but that was about 8 or so years ago. I would take a look at the hyd. control valve though. The valve that came on mine was an El Cheapo and jammed up after 2 seasons. I had to install a new valve and has been running good every since. When you do your 50 hour tractor service, save the hyguard oil. It makes GREAT hyd. log splitter oil. That is what I did with mine. As soon as you get one, everyone around you will want to borrow it. I learned my lesson on loaning stuff out. That is fodder for another thread.

My neighbors recently started driveing a truck. They had asked me about them for the last several years and I guess they finally decided to take the plunge. Right after the lights went out many of the intersections were either dark or gave false signals from some temporary power source for several minutes. Many people through out the Detroit area were killed in auto accidents over the outage which is a topic the news seems to have avoided searching for the sole looter to boost the media hype. Any how they were brodsided in the front quarter panel. Dad has a broken arm in two places, daughter has a broken collar bone, mom has several broken ribs. We were trying to talk over the genset which is not exactly quiet. Sounds like they were all out for a few minutes and dont remember anything. They said the witnesses estimated the other drivers speed at 80 mph and I think he was DOA. I think they are sold on trucks as he said several times if they had been in the car they would all be dead. When the power is out every intersectionis to be treated as a four stop. Most people understand this but I personally saw several drivers blow right through intersections, The trouble was not electricity it was the me first mentality. Again.

My "kid" is getting my by that time, 10 year old F350 and when was the last time you priced colleges? :)<br>
<br>
I understand they are a big $$ savings...if things go well. What I am saying is that they have a bigger "IF" factor than the JD. I know I could trade up and sell this thing anytime. With the horses and snow the tractor being down is more of an inconvenience than it is for the average homeowner/tractor user.<br>
<br>
As I said if I was going to go with something that isn't really supported by a large dealer parts network where I might have to wrench myself I would have bought used.<br>
<br>
For me a warranty and dealer 2 miles away makes sense. That's just me, other guys may be more suited for the Chinese tractors.<br>
<br>
Good luck, I think they will continue to make inroads and get better.<br>

Well this should confuse things even more. Just visited the dealer down the road and his sales manual says lo-viz pours at -40 and HyGard pours at -27 degrees. So that means either will work for my winter use.

I am still going with HyGard at 50 hours. I am really interested to see if it makes a difference in leak-down. On my 4100 Gear (which never got a hydro fluid change) I got a lot of leak-down in hot weather and almost none at freezing temps.

At this point I am more concerned about hot weather ops than cold. You can always start it early and let it warm up in the winter. If you overheat it in the summer all you can do is shut it down and hope there was no damage.

I wonder if they color the factory stuff pink so they can tell if it gets changed?

Hello all,
Has anyone hooked up a snow thrower to their Cub 3204 ( or similiar model)feedback? how well does it work ? Were wheel weights and chains used? the hydrolic lift arm easy to remove? I beleive the 45" thrower is the same for a lot of models in the 3000 series...I just need to know how well it works overall, and is it a good setup...

Thanks in advance!!

I am thinking a little farther into the future than I have revealed here. My uncle owns a 160 acre farm with a 15 acre woods. He is likely to want to sell it in the next 5 years and I will probably buy it to keep it in the family. I am not a farmer, so the tillable acreage would be rented. I just want a tractor that may be able to handle the larger tasks that may be in the future.

Kubota doesn't make a back-hoe for the BX2200(according to the web-site BX22 only). Does some other company make one? That was one of the reasons for moving to a B2910. Thanks for the help. I will post the new quote soon.

I'm buying the 4310 in central Va. for $18,900 which includes 430 FEL, ereverser, mid PTO, R4's, extra front and rear lights, grill gaurd, LX5 cutter 6' box blade. I guess my price isn't bad. It looks like ereverser is 1k added and hydro is 2k.

I would agree with Doc.. I was at Home Depot this weekend and noticed the new L130 features a 23-hp, Kohler V-twin. This unit ran for 2100.00

The reason for the heavier deck is to work in Florida sand. The decks there are getting sand blasted everyday they are used. The thicker metal will allow them to be used for a longer period before getting holes. You could say that they are a HD deck for that part. I don't know if they use better spindle assemblies or a heavier belt.

We did have a good time. We had no intruders in camp other than a few scorpions and ants.

I did not drink much beer this time out. It was 107F and I drank mostly water and gatorade. On Sunday evening, we had a few Margaritas and some single malt scotch. Monday evening, we had a few beers when we camped.

One of the other travelers had a gasoline powered blender that uses a motor from a string grass trimmer. It does a pretty good job of blending those margaritas.

Did not mean to ruffle your feathers, as everyone read, I wrote that comment in a light hearted text. However, to reiterate:

Once again -

I am going to go out on a limb here...If in fact the model of your Yanmar is in fact a 1500, rather than a 150D, it most likely is pre-1975 vintage. In and around the 1975 era, Yanmar changed from the xx00 model number id's to xx0D id numbers. Best guess without a s/n to support it, would be pre-1975. What other info can you tell us about this unit, ie.: engine hp, PTO hp, running train, etc. Perhaps a better assessment may be made after learning these items.

One of the support mechanisms in place that offers this information - for a variety of non-USA made tractors and farm equipment, is put out by FEG. Another, though somewhat less comprehensive, is put out by Intertec.
