is that HST may not be as convenient or well suited for HIS applications.
Consistant speed is very important in mowing fine golf course style grasses & snowblowing.
The shear beauty and purpose of a HST can also be its biggest downfall to some.
In that precise and/or consistant speeds are more difficult to achieve, in relationship to a
Glide shift or standard Gear tranny. Because of HST's infinite speeds, its "almost"
impossible to get back to that EXACT speed you were just at. I would assume most users, myself
included feel we get plenty close enough. BTW, I love my HST, and think a glide shift would be
a real pain in the "U know what", compared to a HST. Just goes to show that different people
have different tastes, habits, and requirements. Thank the good lord that the Manuf's allow
us the choice to choose what works for each of us. "> Kubota Glide Shift Transmission

Jim,<br>All good ideas posted so far. I bought used weight box, filled it with 9 bags of premix concrete, works well. In my neighborhood I have seen 55 gal drum filled and mounted vertically, plastic pool chemical containers (drums or tubs) filled and mounted horizontally, and all sorts of implements. The weight box fits close and provides good balance and manueverabiltiy. Vince

Just curious, but how many hours do you have on this Yanmar 1500?? What leads you to think that it needs a rebuild? Thanks!<br>Keith

I have an L3010 HST too. First this is the pedal is not a gas pedal, it is for the HST trans only. The fuel is on the column. You did not say how many hours you have on the tractor. My tractor ran a little warm until it started breaking in. The more hours I have on the tractor the better it pulls and the temp is staying in the lower norm. range. And do check you fluid level as suggested. Good luck

I'm trying to choose between a Kubota B2710, a NH TC25, or a NH TC29. I would use it for light landscaping so I would get a loader and a box scrape but not sure about a mower. I would consider a lower HP tractor but I'm afraid of not being able to dig with it. Anyone have advice? Thanks!

Being that we are in the middle of a heat wave I thought that it would be a good time to ask a question about snow throwers. This winter I will be doing snow removal with a Kubota L4310. (36 PTO HP) The tractor is 62.4 inches wide. My question is what would be the best choice of three point hitch mount snow thrower for this tractor? I am particularly concerned about how far it will throw the snow. The job that I do, I previously handled with a John Deere 420 garden tractor and the 48 inch two stage thrower. I end up throwing a large amount of the snow twice because it can't toss it far enough on the first few passes. Just another 10 or 15 feet would make the difference. Do all of the three point throwers run the impeller directly off the 540 pto or are any of them over driven through gearing?<br>Bruce Lahmayer<br>Black River Falls, WI

Kubota would be a very distant 2nd place runner with me.. I personally would rather have the John Deere.. For many reasons. Nobody makes a more user friendly Loader to pop on & off. The Hydrostacic pedals on A John Deere is hands down superior to Kubota. You can use your right & left pedals while operating Hydro Drive with a John Deere. Loader frame comes completly off on a JD. And the awesome universal lever stays on the tractor.. to control other impliments on JD. And the grill guard stays on tractor now too.. So, I don't know your financial situation but, if you have the means get the JD... and get 4wd HYDROSTATIC.. a 4200 HST or 4300 HST are both awesome tractors.. so don't pick the Kubota just because it seems cheaper... its like buying computers.. we all would be better off in the long run if we just spent a few extra bucks and got the Macintosh!!!<br>so don't cut yourself short..!!! get the JD if you can...

We are a Yanmar dealer and specialize in grey market Yanmars. I am with Wayne 30% anti freeze 70 % water max ratio. Anymore will cause overheating. Actually less antifreeze is better if freezing is not an issue. I have seen several Yanmar engines damaged from overfilling with antifreeze. You say your radiator has been flushed, but have you taken it to a radiator shop and had it boiled out and flow tested ? Flushing is good, but will not remove deposits if it is really stopped up. Could be you have a bad head gasket or cracked head that can cause overheating also. We have seen this problem in a few 1700 series tractors.

This may not be the right area to ask this, I am new to this board, but have found great advice here. I am looking for advice on a trailer for hauling a Kubota 2710 w/ loader and finish mower. Most of the hauling will be short local trips. I am sure I need a 16' tandem trailer, but not sure of what options are best. Full width ramp vs. split ramps, brakes on both axles vs. one axle vs. none, break-a-way needed, metal rail vs. stake pockets and make my own rail, etc. Some trailers are rated 5,000#, others rated 7000#. Any advice from trailer owners out there would be greatly appreciated.

I had a similar problem with a backhoe, turned out to be a clogged hydraulic filter, when I used pressure the clogged filter didn't allow replenishment, and some crap had by-passed it and was sticking valves open. A good flush, fresh fluid, and a new filter, ta-da, ran like a new machine !!<br>Good luck.

What is the value on a John Deere 1938 A Tractor with a 2 bottom plow? It is in good condition. Starts great. Tires will need to be replaced soon.

I wish I had the money right now! Because at that price it is definatly a Steal! I now have a John Deere 4200, which I love! But there are some things I liked a lot better and I miss that I had on my previous 855. By the way! I traded my 1987 855 Hydro, with 4WD, #52 LOADER, 60

Good Luck..
for any of you buyers..
This is a very, very , good buy! Don't Hesitate on this one..

Bill might be on to something. Expansion & contraction from heat could be allowing<br>air to displace a small amount of oil. Remember, when you use the loader, the oil is warm or hot, causing<br>expansion. Afterwards the oil cools, causing a contraction effect. I know this is a pronounced phenomemon <br>that occurrs in 55 gal drums. You may also want to take notice of the temperature where you are storing the loader? <br>Most wooden sheds/garages can easily reach 100 degrees or more, especially when its 90 in the shade.<br>Gravity may not be helping the situation either.

Len, thanks for the clarification. I have never seen a Yanmar grey with a 3 digit model #. Are they small ones or just older. Didn't mean to imply that greys didn't have air cleaners just often different style.

I said this to farminlady then, and I'll tell you now. I think your tractor was not dyno'ed during the pre-delivery process, or if it was, it wasn't done long enough to properly seat the piston rings. This, along with a pattern of low RPM- light load operation after delivery will glaze the cylinder walls & ring surfaces, causing smoke, slobber from the exhaust & improper combustion. Your engine needs to be torn down, deglazed, re-rung, and broken in properly. Of course this is just one man's opinion, and I've been wrong before........................
