I have to agree that neither wheel had enough traction to make a difference. I have seen the bota's on there belly in mud and not seen them stop and thanked the boss up stairs. I don't mind good demo's but I hate to get dirty. Kubota does have many models that do have a diff lock on the front but they are limited to the M-series to the best of my knowledge.

Our last day for does with gun was today,[I think],it gets longer each year,trying to thin them down.Bow season ends the 31st,but them deer is so wild now that it would be a miracle if you got a shot,at a buck anyways, I don't need any more,4 will last us till next Oct. Yes sir,if you need some more meat for your freezer,does taste just fine,and you will just be helping the deer population out,there is to many does around here anyways. A question for you,I looked on my in mail a while ago and it had on there that I got responses from tractor point,about a dozen,I don't want them,how do I stop from getting them? Richard

Harry, my reasons to post on this issue were 2:
1) Potential owners need to know that one is no more, and probably less likely to break their tractor if they buy a Jinma-ZL20 vs a major brand tractor-loader.
2) I'm tired of reading posts saying things such as (and I'm making this one up) "even Chinese owners will tell you that you'll break them if you put a loader on and don't add reinforcement"

I guess they are an export tractor from Jiangling in China. They look very similar to the Jimnas. They have only been produced a few years so time will tell.

What do you think I won the lottery? That would take more like 10 trips over the next 10 years. One attachment each year. I think I am going to try and get the brush cutter as soon as I sell my old riding mower and then look at running up to marion's for the auctions on other attachments. I may even try to look at brush cutters up there. but I can't wait to long. I need to get alot cleaned up so I can seed

My post was a tongue-in-cheek remark meaning that this string was begining to sound like a Jeff Foxworthy comedy routine! There are as many reasons for making your decision as there are choices. Everyone has their own priorities and requirements.

Lumber, I got a 224 also. Built her up myself as a crate unit. Had fun doing it too. Put lots of TLC into every part of the assembly. I think a crate unit is not for everyone though. I've personally seen Homier farm pros at the traveling shows and their assembly left a lot to be desired. I feel who assembles them makes all the difference.They are by far, a JD or Kubota in the fit/finish areas but are a good basic machine within reasonable price range for what I use it for.I guess it all depends what you intend to use your equipment for.

Just did a trip to Florida and back. Best tank was 17.85 and worse tank was 15.5. I use Lucas fuel additive. My truck is a 02HO 4x4 with 4.10 gears. I have a comp box stage 2 inj, 4" exhaust and mega cannon air filter. The gears hurt my mileage on the highway. Going to a 285 tire to help with the gears when the factory tire are shot.

Sorry Chief,I stand corrected. The picture you posted of the 1030 more closely resembles a 2040 in U.S version. You mentioned a Yanmar engine in your first post, but these models used only Deere's own engines.

Yeah and if you look real hard you will see that Compact JDeere is made in China also. I own a Nortrac and very happy. Can get all the parts I want to when and IF I need them. If youe a mechanic then I guess there won't be a problem in the minor repairs need be cause it is not the fit and finish Of the JDeere but then again I saved $1000.'s

That is great news! Sounds like the dealer is doing his best to treat you right. Hopefully is will all shake out in the wash.

Unfortunatly for you I have to agree with Chief, as torque converters hold to much debris and it is very difficult to get it out! I do wish you luck and hope it is cured.

For what I have seen I think that is tied to the safety system for shut down. I don't believe it would be a place to be taking power for lites or as Mark suggested rotation of a chute.

tamanaco, the sub-frame is all that mounts the backhoe to the tractor. It is held by 2 pins at the front of the subframe (1 under each loader mount arm) and a pin through the original drawbar hole in the rear. The rear pin doesn't support any weight, that is handled by two pieces of 1" X 3" steel with a slot milled to go over the original lower 3-point mount bar.

I built a Cad Plans model 508 backhoe for my former Simplicity Legacy about 3 years ago. After a year I modified it because of the small reach and depth - I got tired of moving the tractor after every 2 feet or so of digging. My latest attempt is my own design based on what I learned from it plus a lot of eyeballing factory & aftermarket backhoes.

Other companies selling tractor mounted plans on the internet that I came across can be found at: http://cdp-backhoe.com/3PHM/backhoe.htm and http://www.geocities.com/pnfz/GardenTractorLoader.html. There is a also a pretty good looking towable unit at http://www.ubuilditplans.com/ which could be adapted to 3-point, but it's probably a bit large for your tractor.

As I mentioned earlier, one of the reasons I stayed away from 3-point hiotch mount was to keep the backhoe as close as possible to the rear end for balance. The length of the 3-point arms forces weight much further back.

I went with a JD 4310 over Kubota when I did weight comparisons. The JD just looked heavier built to me for the same money.

Other intangibles come into play. Like the fact that my neighbor - a Kubota man - dug holes on my property with his FEL to get topsoil - I had to get a survey to show him where the property line was. After that - a Kubota was pretty much out of the picture.
