I'm a newbie to this and wanted to get some opinions on prices. I've talked to two local dealers on the following package and they are within a couple of hundred dollars of each other. This was initial visits and no heavy negotiating yet. Good, bad, do better? Thanks for any input.<br>

46 BH w/13” bucket & level ind. $5250<br>

i,ve seen alot of you buying or tinking about buy a tractor from a dealer that is far away. yes the price might be good but what are you going to do when you have a problem and need warenty work done. If you buy a tractor MOST times you will only be able to get that dealer to do the warrenty work on that tractor. Your local dealer will probly tell you sorry aabout your luck you should have bought it from us. pick up and delivery are not covered buy nh warrenty. if your dealer tells you that it is covered then it is comming out of his pocket. And might say he never told you that when the time comes for repairs. so buyer beware!!!!

Better yet, take a look at the wheel base. In order for the Kubota to turn tighter it is shorter and you would not easily get a 72" wide deck underneath it.

To do one with suspension you would have to move to the rear. Try a universal high back as the mounts that are under the seat are quite workable.

I recently purchased a Yanmar tractor at an estate sale. Owner had sanded down tractor to paint before he died and I can't tell what model I have. The only Serial number (I hope it's the S/N) I see is a number on the engine block (very hard to read) that looks something like 2TL00 01375014. Can someone help me determine what model I have? Thanks ever so much! RogerH

It seems, then, that if the newer implements are being made to I-Match specs that JD (and thus Frontier) are moving in the direction of making most of their stuff I-Match compatible. That's good news indeed!

i figured it would be a little heavy a fell dose not create a good ballast or not as good as front wieghts filling the front tires is a good idea. do you have a front wieght bracket or are you hanging then on the bumper?

Jonathan, glad you made the decision to buy. That is good news, now for the, "...what did I get myself into..." news. You didn't say what you are buying, so how much tractor you have will determine how much work you can do, and how efficiently. For the average CUT owner, a backhoe, as the other guys have suggested, will work out really well. For most part-time operators, the smaller buckets work best because they dig with the least resistance. Bigger CUT's with very powerful FEL's can, with the use of MFWD, dig deep enough to take out sapplings - several in one bite. But as Ken mentioned, care must be taken in how you address the ground, lest you twist your loader frame. Sub-soilers, middle busters, steel 3pt hitch fingers, and root rakes may do, but I never had much success with this method, mainly because to do this kind of work professionally requires me to do it fast. That leads us to the "not so much fun" solution.

When I have many stumps on large lots I sub-contract the job to a fellow contractor who uses a Rome Rake, a blade with curved heavy teeth that mounts to a crawler tractor, like a Cat, in place of the dozer blade. The Rome Rake, which was manufactured by Rome Industries (Fleco is another source), literally rips a path 15' wide, removing all obstacles, and pretty much leaving the soil intact. If you have quite a few stumps, and don't want to spend the time to dig, check your yellow pages for lot clearing or construction contractors, then get some estimates. But remember, every dollar you pay someone else, is a dollar you won't be spending for attachments like a backhoe, which are really handy to have.

I'm looking at a JD rotary cutter brochure that has all the specs. Both decks are 3 mm thick, which I believe is 10 gauge or mighty close. The skirt is 1/4" just like the woods.

I hadn't changed the hydraulic oil since the first 50 hour service, so it was time. It has always been a rule to drop the hitch before turning the hitch off, however not too long ago, I forgot while trailering to a jobsite and had the weight box on. Hopefully that wouldn't have caused it though.

I think you got a GREAT deal. I have over 1900 hours on my 1994 JD 445 and it still runs like a champ. You have alot of hours left on that machine. Change the oil and filter on a routine basis and take of it in general and it will last you for a long time.

A couple of my staff were ticked we didn't get one hat for each machine we bought, ie. one hat for each operator.

They're a clever bunch of lads though.

So when they went into the JD booth at the big equipment show in Toronto this winter they commented that they got ripped off for their hats, so the JD people gave them each a nice green hat. They then headed straight for the Kubota booth and walked in 'en mass' in those nice new GREEN hats.

In mere seconds each of them was presented with a nice new suede and canvas Kubota hat and matching golf shirt!!!

Hmmm, me thinks they pay a little too much attention to my sneakiness sometimes.......

Best of luck.

I guess my original question was pretty vague. Do I go with a B7800 because it has HST, or the L3400 because it is a larger framed tractor. I want a larger tractor due to the fact that every time I look at the B7800 it looks smaller and smaller. I have 40 acres and a 250ft driveway. I know I will kick myself in a year if I find my tractor is too small. The L3400 has a standard transmission which I don't have a problem with, I realize it is a bit more to work with, but that is the only option it comes with.(can't spend any more on a tractor)
