I see from your profile you ended up with the King Kutter.

I have the same tractor and was wondering how you like the combo?

I have been lifting some pretty heavy logs with an Orange B7800 w/4-in-1 & loaded rear tires, but no other ballast. I had considered adding a weight box or other impliment for extra lift, but now am re-thinking the extra ballast idea.<br>
<br>
On attempts to pull stumps, I sometimes lift the rear and sometimes the relief valve stops me. That makes me think the valve is set to relieve at about the same lifting force that the tractor's own weight X wheel base will counteract.<br>
<br>
The local dealer set up the package with a Long 4-in-1. He even suggested a weight box to enhance lift capacity. I just hadn't gotten around to it yet. <br>
<br>
Getting slowly lifted in the air seems to be a good reminder to cut the trees into smaller pieces, and keep the seat belt on.<br>

Although I only have 2 acres, I have had a ball so far with my JD4310 HST, 430 loader, 47 Backhoe. In 1 1/2 years I have 240 hours on it. I have a) expanded a poolyard which required 80 railroad ties, tons of stone - fill and finished, b) used the backhoe to install 100 foot of 6" pipe with 2 catch basins in an area with lots of shale, c)transplanted 4 - 8 foot pine trees this spring, d) planted 20 6' skyrocket junipers on boundary last Fall, e) dug new item #4 pulloff drive to the side of my blacktop drive for my teenage son to get his car out of the way, f) brush chopped all the brush up from trees we cut or trimmed, g) brought 40 buckets of chips to neighbors, h)spread and raked some piles of dirt for a neighbor, i) moved stone walls and boulders, and the list goes on.<br>
<br>
I have really enjoyed every attachment and the way the tractor handled them - IM502 bruch chopper, no name 6' back blade, no name 7' stone rake, no name 4" angle iron 3 pt hitch forks.<br>
<br>
I have expansive plans for continuing to finish my yard, move stone walls, plant and transplant larger trees as required. I wouldn't show you the pictures today - but I have a plan in my mind for how it will look. Hopefully I can still find projects when I retire - I think I will still find them because there seems to be no end to what you can do with these tractors. My wife keeps ordering trees and bushes - so as they grow I have to continously move them as they get too large. I just need to learn more about the plants I am planting.<br>
<br>
When people say that you you only need a small CUT on a small piece of property - I think it all depends on what that person wants to do. I am very happy that I purchased a CUT with 30 HP range.<br>
<br>
Most people ask me if I'm retired and do all this. The answer is that I haven't gone anywhere on vacation in 5 years - I work at home on my vacation time. I find working in the dirt relaxing. My wife and I had our fill of vacations in the past - but we are getting our kicks doing this right now. Although the wife has expressed interest in taking off sometime soon :)<br>

MY Praire Dog 7.5 backhoe has 3,100lbs at the bucket and 2250 at the dipper according to mfg's WRITTEN specs Which are not always true. After I put a hydro pressure gauge on the hydro pump I found hydro pressure was 1800 psi...So being the little "MOD" guy that I am...... I tweeked the master relief valve to a shade over 2300, which is an extra 500 psi. You do the math and tell me what new force figures I have now. pressure multiplied by the diameter of the cylinder= FORCE <br>
<br>
Diameter = PiRsquared<br>

HEY GUYS, LOL, Now that I am thinking about it, I have two calibrated 10,000 and 20,000 lbs +-1% load cells thaT I CHECK TENSILE test machines, and I could have the lab make up some heavy duty pull rings and see what the hoe really pulls. Who wants to bet that mfg's overstate backhoe force figures? I could hook the load cell right on the teeth of the bucket and pull against a tree and get a LBS. reading right where you want it. I think I'm going to do that. Plus I want to know the total weight of my Ariens GT14 garden tractor is anyway and my dump trailer. Gimme a couple weeks.

I just purchased 9 acres of property (mostly nice lawn). The property is rolling hills, firm soil. I am looking for something I can a attach a plow, tiller and mower deck to. I would like the yard to look nice. I have been looking at the JD 790 and the Kubota L3400. Any suggestions? I currently have a JD GT235 with a 48" deck, but obviously need to upgrade since I do have other things to do.<br>

I think if I had a tractor that was missing, I would call the tractor police and see if the could get it on the Hot sheet. A missing tractor is NOT fun especially if you are still paying on it. A missing mother-in-law is much better than a missing tractor I would think.

I've had my BX23 for a week now, only got 10 hours on it...too many soccer games to attend with son...I have to set some priorities!!<br>
<br>
I have a few questions based on my "experience"<br>
<br>
1. After using the hoe for about two hours I found all the thread lock nuts on the hoe pin bolts loose and two were almost totally off the bolt. Has anyone seen this on their BX23?? I showed my dealer's service manager and he didn't know what to say. He was going to call Kubota to see what's up. I don't know how tight to draw these up, does anyone have an ideas??<br>
<br>
2. The 60" MMM keeps leaving a streak of uncut grass about 1" wide where the side and center blade would pass. I doesn't seem to matter how tall or short the grass is or how slow or fast I mow, its still there. Is there some kind of adjustment that needs to be made?? I can't believe its supposed to be doing that, it looks pretty bad. I mowed the same grass with a little Craftsman lawn mower and it looked 100 times better than it does now. I hope there is a fix!!<br>
<br>
Thanks for any suggestions. <br>

The mulching kit added changed the weight of the mower deck requiring it to be leveled again. Moral of the story, level the deck after you add all the goodies. Dealer was very nice about it.

Maybe the problem here is NOT whether the machine is capable of grading 2 acres as much as it is "What do you call grading?".

If you are thinking of 'grading' as smoothing out the lumps and clods of soil left behind by the dozer, IMHO, yes it is capable of that with the right implements.

If, however, you consider 'grading' to be cutting or filling areas to acheive a final grade, cuts or fills that amount to more than 1" or so, then no, IMHO, you will not be happy with how much time and effort is required to accomplish that, but if you are determined, you COULD do it.

Best of luck.

Field work isone place that would benefit from automatic control. They can monitor hundreds of parameters off a NASCAR race car. The number of things to monitor in a field tractor would be relatively few: position, speed, RPM, hydro actuation, force applied to the implement to name a few. Then the feedback can be used to change direction or whatever.

Of course this is an oversimplification but it's possible. The point is, any correction a farmer makes in a pass down the field can probably be sensed and corrected faster and more precisely than a human can. This would leave the farmer time to do things that require a human touch.

In a way I do this type of thing for a living, except we monitor real-time MRI images and make corrections to the way we acquire them based on feedback from the image data we're getting. At times we have to reconstruct and search through 6Mbytes of data and make corrections every 500 milliseconds so this requires parallel array processors and lots of memory. Controlling a tractor might be simpler. You would have relatively few parameters to search and corrections could be make every few milliseconds.

Yes it's different but the idea is the same.

I have a Massey 1040 compact with a dual stage clutch and am having a problem finding either a part number or a clutch either one. If I had a part number possibly I could find the clutch but would appreciate any info on finding a clutch also.

I had an older Allis Chalmers 10 disk that I pulled with my TC35 with industrial tires. With the gangs set at maximum attack angle, I could pull it in B range, 4th gear. Set at a medium attack angle, I could go up to High range and 1st gear. So your TC40 should do even better than mine.

At least you don't have to shovel, plow or blow it.

The people at the north end of that storm system got between 3" and 8" of snow from it.

I took a slightly different approach based on how we do it in the shop.

I bought some used snap together pallet racking and lined one wall of the shop. I dis-mount an implement onto a heavy hardwood skid then use forks on the FEL to place it in it's place on the racking. Everything goes into 16'x4' of floor space.

Best of luck.

forgot to mention, I have the mower set failry high, 2nd from highest settings. I have all set properly expect the right rear antiscalp which I havent had a change to unbolt and move. Am I possible traveling too fast at full speed low range? I also have the loader attached which adds a lot of weight.
