wow, 20% less, thats pretty bad. JD is definitaly the Lords of the Tractors. I just can't afford the size that I feel I need on the John Deeres. I think that the NH should perform well enough. Is that your opinion?

You may be right. I just remember that the NH warranty was 1 year more than JD'd. I would love to get the JD like the one in your photos, I just don't have the cash for that. But I don't feel like I am settling becuase I do feel that the NH ios a good tractor aswell. How much was you tractor? Probably at or over 20grand? Wow, 20% less resell than JD. I do plan on keeping the tractor for a long time, as long as it holds out. What is the longevity of the JD's and the NH's?

Ya, I've already got a spring but it is too weak. I need to put a heavier compression spring on it with a threaded rod going through the center with a cap to adjust. I've had the pulverizer about 3-4 years now and don't use it much. All I need is time to fix it. Am short on that!!

Thanks Murf!

First 70 degree day in this part of Michigan. Looks like a lot of spring type work ahead of me. Been getting these toys ( I mean implements ) for the tractor, time to put them to use. Looking forward to the seat time without snow blowing in my face. Spring has Sprung.

Are your rear tires loaded? If they are, loaded tires and a box blade seems to ballast me fine. My box blade weighs about 400lbs.

First of all Mike, WELCOME, there's quite a few pilots here, I'm sure you will feel right at home here.

Next thing, your questions, co-related to your numbering;

1. Yes, is it worth it for a small 2wd machine, questionable.

2. No. Unless you are an engineering wizz, with your own machine shop and count your time at $0 per hour.

3. Yes, Kubota fluid IS special, it has a pretty Kubota logo on the package and costs somewhere between 30-200% more than the comparable 'industry standard' fluid. Seriously, anything that meets the minimum spec. is just fine.

4. Ditto above. If your concerned there are parts available for delivery, ordered online. See "www.tractorsmart.com" and others.

5. You're at it. Enjoy.

Best of luck.

I dunno. This is a case where the dealer makes the difference.

In billy_r's case the dealer should go to bat for him and deal with NH. If NH won't deal with it then at least there should be a clear explanation of why (if they claim it's abuse they should back it up). If NH won't do anything then a good dealer would either eat the expense your meet you part way.

I've read a few instances of Kubota denying in-warranty claims for seemingly BS reasons as well. In these cases the dealer can make a huge difference.

You definitely said a mouthful there. Seat time is FUN! I'm not using this piece of equipment to make a living, thus I'm not worried about how "fast" I can do something. I'm just afraid I'll buy the 3430 and realize 4 months later that there is an attachment "x" that would do EXACTLY something I need to do but it requires more HP. I know I won't be using big farm equipment, but do want the flexibility of using a wide array of attachments (chippers, concrete mixers, generators, brush mowers, finishing mowers, tillers, box blades, etc.). Also, I was told that my tractor won't have enough HP for a 72" tiller, which I'll need to cover the tracks adequately with R4 tires. *This* is the kind of thing I don't want to discover after the fact. (But from other posts on here I'd think the 3430 could run a 72" tiller just fine).

thanks for the reply...I bought the tractor used and the front loader had a coating of concrete inside..the tractor just does not move when engaged in gear. Everything else works well...the pto...front loader...engine...my guess is that the tractor was abused therefore the cheap price....You get what you pay for....With a little tender care she will be up and chugging away in a few days...I'm retired and do not mind tinkering....

I'll throw in one more comment regarding dealers. The old adage that you are better off selling yourself seems to apply to tractors even more so than cars. I bought a cherry 800 hour 2240 JD around six years ago for $7500. All the dealers at the time told me it was worth $5000 max even though every 2240 I saw advertised in the market bulletin, epuipment trader, etc. was at least $7k. Most were in the 8 - 8.5K range.
Last spring, my father-in-law wanted to trade his fairly nice 8N on a more modern tractor, and the dealer offered $1000. A decent 8N will bring $2500 or so all day long in these parts. In fact that's what he got for it a few days after he parked it in front of his house with a for sale sign on it.

I own the same tractor and bought the manuals from the fellow that is replying. They are excellent manuals. I bought mine before my tractor got sick. I will say mine will not shut off some times. I to live in Florida and Napa parts stores carry allot of parts that will match up.
Or you can get things rebuilt instead of replacing.

snmhanson,
One additional check I would make is for loose bolts(wheels, loader frame). Though the manuals usually say to check them at 50hours, there is often so much paint between the metal surfaces they can become quite loose before that time, and checking them several times before 50 hours is a good idea.
You should also check the tires pressure too, especially if the temperature varies a lot, to see if they are within specs.
I check engine oil and hydraulic fluid levels, walk around eyeball check the chains, tires, 3PH, loader frame, and the floor (leaks) each day I use the tractor. Grease the loader every 8 hours, it's expensive to rebuild one.
Takes maybe 2 minutes so it's cheap insurance. If I was mowing or in dusty conditions I might add the radiator screen and air filter(s) to the list, but experience has shown for my use the 50 hour schedule is fine.

It has a 16 inch turning radius, 4wd, articulated steering. It is very SOFT on the turf because the rear tires follow the same path as the fronts. I had it on rough turf last night and it did a great job. Royce Boyton is the Ventrac regional rep, his phone number is608 524 9699 he can find you a dealer.

I find JD's response to be, well, unbelievable. tractortips dot com lists serial numbers for year of production for all the JD tractors I've looked at. Unfortunately they don't yet list the 2210. I'll bet any JD dealer could give you the year of production with your serial number. We have found over and over that emailing questions to JD tech support usually results in an unsatisfying response.

When JD issues a PIP they state both the range of serial numbers affected and the dates of production, so they have to have this information.

Does anyone know what specifically is different in the formulation of �Break-in Oil" verses a "Standard" 15W-40? The difference(s) may help explain its importance (or �why� its used).

Actually Jonathan I hat to throw a spanner in the works, but a lot of FMM's (front-deck mowers) ARE available with a cab.

There are also several aftermarket cab manufacturers that produce cabs for models that the manufacturer themselves doesn't make a cab for.

Also, if you select a FMM with a 4 post ROPS / canopy combination it is very easy to just add plexiglass between the posts and a simple hinged door to the front.

As for speed, because FMM's run low pressure turfs which add a sort of suspension and are designed for one purpose only, cutting grass, you would be VERY hard-pressed to cut any faster with a CUT than you could with a FMM based on equal size decks.

Best of luck.
