A friend of mine is looking for a tree spade to fit a compact utility tractor. Does anyone know if anyone makes them for this type of tractor? Are they typically 3 point mounted or loader mounted? How well to they work? He is contemplating a small tree farm and would like to get as much use out of his utility tractor as possible. Thanks.<br>

It sounds like the salesman was trying to sell a hydro tractor. If you think about what he, using the clutch to go from forward to reverse. The is little difference between the clutch in a tractor and the clutch in an automobile. If what he said were true we would be rebuilding the clutches in our manual trans autos constantly. I have worked on a number of grey market tractors that are 15+ years old and a worn out clutch is rare. You will have one that is stuck occasionally from sitting for a long time, but not worn out. I had a JD 855 with a loader and as you know the 855 is a hydro tractor. I was very disapointed with the hydro/loader combination. When you had the pedal down and were working the loader controller it would have a tendancy to bog the engine down. I thought it was just my tractor until I talked to a salesman at a New Holland dealer and he told me he preferred a gear tractor to a hydro model when used with a loader. A shuttle shift or powershift in the case of some of the Yanmars is the way to go. You have the ease and convience of hydro with the power of a gear tractor.

I ran into the same problem with my JD318. The local auto parts store was able to give me the necessary part numbers. They were also one heck of a lot cheaper . Not an exact answer but a good place to start.

Reality Check:<br>I think it is time for a reality check. Lots of questions about how do you mow, do you have tractor experience, are you a crazed yuppie with a new toy (inferred). The bottom line is I paid a fortune for my 4100 w/60

Bill, I paid $6500 for a 650S with 800 hours in cherry condition. It included a 5ft Woods finish mower and and Befco Rototiller. It is a great little tractor. Recently got a 4ft bush hog and it has no problems with it even in heavy brush.

Ouch is right. if your dealer is asking that much for an outer filter only, he is gouging the h--- out of you. My dealer quoted $36.90 for the outer filter, and $14.25 for the inner filter. E-Mail me I'll send you his address, if you want original equipment.<br>b27

Jeff, Have you considered replacing the grass with a mulch so that mowing is not necessary? You may be able to locate a free source of mulch. For example our local land fill makes mulch from dropped off tree limbs, leaves, etc. which they give away.

I think that's a good price for that tractor & loader. I recently bought a '96 755, 4wd, with a loader, no mower deck, & 400 hours, that is extra clean, for $12,400.00. You're getting more tractor, one year newer, & a few more hours, for $1.100.00 more. Obviously what part of the country you're in can be a factor as to what it's worth. I'm located in the midwest. Bought my tractor from around the Iindianapolis area. You didn't mention it, but personally I would hope it has the 4wd.I think you would prefer it, especially for loader work. If it is only 2wd, that might partially explain the good price. Lastly, everyone's different, but I've been real happy with the hydrostatic trans.

I find the easiest, fastest thing is a compact tractor (with cab obviously) with a snow blade instead of the bucket on the front loader. It clears just as fast as a truck, but will also do the sidewalks, stack snow, and spread salt/sand better than a truck. With the bucket re-installed (5 min. job) it will load trucks for off-site disposal. Come spring it will sweep the sand/salt residue away (just don't use a rotary broom, dust everywhere!!!) in record time.

Not necessarily a direct relation to your question, but people probably favor gears over chains, for two major reasons: Maintainance & adjustment.

Chain is lighter and usually less costly to repair/replace. Chains are more of a safety issue, due to a "minimum" of 2 pinch points and possible backlash when the chain breaks. Chains do handle abuse better in that they can operate with almost no lubrication, and other than excessive wear, they will usually keep going. Gears tend to overheat and "freeze up". Gears are virtually maintainance free, and require minimal or no adjustments. Unless excessive dirt/water/heat has been introduced, gears degrade very slow and require minimal or no fluid changes. All of that said, my vote goes to the Gear, I don't enjoy lubing chains and adjusting chain tension. Oh, and chains are usually noisier than gears. "> Gear driven tiller

I was going to try to put the flashers on the inside of the Rops bar, but that would have kept interfering with my shoulders If I was ever in a twisted position to see what is going on behind the unit. I have very broad shoulders, and they would definatly have taken a hard hit by the lights if they were reinstalled to the inside of the ROPS
