Being a dip stick my self this should be an easy problem. I would think it is on the lower right had side of the engine below the hood. The new tractors the handle looks like a knob rather than a normal loop.

I have no tractor company so would truck the tractor to the dealer. I have had tactors for years and have never taken one to the dealer. A tractor is not exactly state of the art technology. If a new dealer trys to hold me for ransom he certainly will not see my business. If he could not win my business to begin with, jacking around on waranty work will definately not win my business in the future.
For example I looked at the JD the other day, now 50 miles away. He stated they only dealt in list prices. That will be the last he sees of me. I guess he figures the green paint makes the tractor.

Buisness must be booming or I made a foolish mistake. I ordered my tracotr feb 14th and they ran it down the production line last Tue. They missed my date of easter weekend to deliver (Although I did tell them back in Feb. that there was NO rush on when it gets here, just before the end of April) Hopefully I will get a call this coming week and can start using it the weekend after easter.<br>
Frustrating, this waiting game!!!!

I would agree with Oneace I believe the local dealer has the TC30 in the $13,500 list new. For a little more you get the hydro. I priced a new 2003 TC35 the other day a 14K 4x and shuttle. I would work the dealer a little harder if you like the tractor. I am sure you can get a quote from Corriher or Tarhill in this price range. Then as the dealer what he thinks.

remember he has a 286 which is quite a large and heavy mower, the 5 foot mower will barly cover you tire tracs the tc 40 can handel a 72 inch brush cuttler with little difficuly. yes a fel will help balast but wieghts are the bet choice. the 16la tends not to stay in the air which a cording to nh is aceptable at a rate of a couple inches per a cetaine amout of time. so you will be lifting the loader alot when mowing which can get annmoying.

Good news! I received an e-mail from Kioti Customer Service today and, although they don't have a service manual for the LB1714, thay are going to copy a manual for the LB1914 (similar model) and UPS it to me. Makes my day!

It is a problem as tractors have so much low end torque that you do not necessarily know that the brakes are on. My diesel truck has the same problem. I can easily move it with the parking brakes engaged. I hope that you have not broken a pad or something inside. I would check your external linkage and then determine what you have to do inside. Can you see if it is only one side or both?

Grinder, I've not seen a Westendorf canopy, but I've had a Westendorf WL42 loader on a 1070 case (108 HP) since in the 70's. I've replaced pins and bushings a couple times and a ram or two, but the frame simply is built so strong it cannot be destroyed. They've allways been king of the hill when it comes to loaders. they also build other farm equipment which is also top drawer. So I'm sure their conopy would be one to check out. Frank.

I have the same problem but in my neck. Don't laugh but I have considered mounting an inexpensive 12v video camera on the RPS (at eye level) and a monitor over the dash. They use simialr units for semis and motorhomes---so why not here? I bought one of these complete units for $80. Haven't installed though (this one isn't weatherproof).

I used it in my '95 Dodge Ram with a 360 with excellent results. At -10 degrees in a Michigan winter and having sat overnight it started up like it was 80 degrees out! Here in SE Michigan it seemed veryone was selling AmsOil. But now I can buy it off the shelf at my local autoparts called "Murrays"

Tom is right...the loader only lifts when the 3pth is lifting w/ a heavy load. Without a load on the 3pth, the loader doesn't work even when the 3pth is lifting. So, does that mean it's the loader valve? Is there a way to check?

Harley is a brand of power rake sometimes called a soil conditioner or preparator. I have one for my TC33D that is 6' wide--it takes a fair amount of HP to use it effectively. The principle is simple: the rotating drum has carbide teeth on them staggered in a several spirals--this way HP is transferred to just a few teeth in contact with the ground rather than a straight line of teeth which would cause jumping and use more HP. Depending on how low/deep the drum sits in the ground as it pulled forward in the highest position it can remove grass and weeds at their roots and throw them forward or to the side in a windrow (if tilted to one side or the other like a scraper blade). In the deepest postion it will take 8" deep solid dry clay and fluff it up in one pass (one, SLOW pass!). In any position--high or low--if it encounters a rock or brick it will literally roll it out of the ground and keep rolling it until it trails off or windrows or falls in a low spot. I use mine to rototill my garden (deep position), and to regrade my .7 mile gravel road in the medium-high position (about 1-1/2" deep).

Well a lot of funny posts here. I do think it definately means more for some reason when it comes delivered rather than just getting it from the dealer that day.

The only thing more I would have expected from my dealer (he could be "listening" to this also...) was that I thought it would be nice a few days after delivery to at least call and see if everything was ok and that I was satisfied....I mean I would have if I were a salesman who sold $12k worth of machinery, but after she was dropped off I never heard another word. Well, except for the payement book and the hat..but of course that's from Deere.

ps I was thinking the same thing about the little card with the hat since I know the 4110 is made in Japan, that the workers on that card looked awfully non-Asian...but anyone that bitches about JD having to have things made overseas to compete only has our own BS foreign trade policy to blame...I mean the company has to compete or they will die. Hard to compete with a dollar a day wage while some greedy union bum here in the US is making $25/hour plus bennys and still wants more! But sorry I guess that's another subject... :)

Matt, I'll put in my two cents worth. All this talk about the B7800 is making me even more anxious to get mine. Probably this weekend but having to wait on the MMM. I decided on the 7800 after all. I considered moving up to the L3130. With nothing to really base my opinion on except the good words on this forum, soon I'll be the proud owner of a B7800. Life is good! Happy tractoring to all.

I have a Ferrari 95 from the mid 1980s. Mine is the articulated model with about 30 HP.

These are great tractors, you'd be amazed at the power that these tractors can deliver to the ground. Dual power take off is very cool.

My machine has a front loader (not Ferrari) that works OK, but these machines are not really suited to a loader, unless you are just lifting light bulkly items. Trying to do serious front loader work causes two problems; first the bucket places a huge load on the articulation bearings and second, the wheel base is very short requiring lots of counterweight on the back. That makes more stress/wear on the articulation joint bearings. I'm in the process of replacing those bearings on my tractor, it's not a hard thing to do, nor is it very expensive, but it is one more thing on the ever-growing list of "to dos".
