Skids don't work for every snow situation. When I purchased a JD hydraulic front blade for my JD955 I looked forward to the first snow (weird huh!). I set the skids two inches below the blade figuring that pushing snow was going to be easy. Finally the long awaited snow arrived and I started at one end of my gravel driveway and dropped the front blade using the float position and pushed away at the snow--clear across the county road in front of my drive. Imagine my surprise to find that the skids had sunk into my gravel and I had just bladed not only the snow, but almost two inches of gravel from the center of my driveway. The skids, even with the blade in float position, had gouged into the gravel. I eventually tried about every skid depth setting, but the skids would always dig into the loose gravel. On the county road, the skids worked pretty well, except when they fell into one of the many potholes and that's where the recoil springs of the blade probably saved me many times. For my loose gravel driveway, I eventually set the front blade two inches above the gravel without using the float position and then finished the driveway off by pushing the rear blade (no skids)backwards.<br>When I used only a rear blade for my driveway, I would set the blade about two inches off the surface and blade forward and then go back and push the rear blade backwards for the remaining two inches of snow--worked great.

I have suffered the second failure of my steering gear. There is a small hole where the steering column attaches to the steering gear that is intended to drain water from the coulmn. If this hole gets plugged, rain water will collect in the column and work past the seal in the steering gear. the steering gear oil will then float on the water and the lower bearing will be destroyed. Has anyone else had this problem and more importantly, has anyone tried filling the gearbox with grease instead of gearoil to prevent this damage. (I know keeping the hole cleaned out will work, but by the time you notice the gearoil leak, the damage is done). <br>secondly, does anyone have a source for used or rebuilt gearbox for this tractor? <br>

I just recently purchased a pto generator and I am looking forward to getting it hooked up so that I can power my house during power outages. I am tired of ice storms and hurricanes putting me in the dark for days at the time. Living in the country and being on a well, during these times I am also without water too, which makes it necessary to find another place to stay during these extended outages. I have done a bit of research here and I have found that if you already have a tractor to drive these generators, it is by far the cheapest way of getting a generator that will put out 25kw. Thats about what I will need to power up my home so I will never know that the power is out. Just keep in mind that you need 2horse power of tractor for every 1 kw you want to produce, or thats what I have been told. With a 45 hp tractor I should be able to get almost all the potential kw of this generator.

Bruce,<br> Agco, for some unknown reason, doesn't feel it necessary to convey specific info about their many brands' models at their web site. So before all those individuals who only see a specific color get ahold of you, do yourself a favor and go check a Massey out in person. That's what I did. In my opinion, they are every bit as good a tractor as the orange, green, and blue ones( and I was raised on Ford). On most models, mid PTO is standard (an option on some other tractors), engine size is larger and rpm slower than other comparable HP models. Cost, in my area, is similar to other major name brands (my personal feeling is they all get together and agree on a price for each HP class). I have heard and read good things about their performance and reliability, too. The same can also be said about Kubota, Deere, and NH as well. I haven't pulled the trigger yet (having trouble convincing the wife), but if I did, I'd go for the MF1240. Bottom line: Get what you want; any of these tractors should make you happy.

Hi David<br>I looked long and hard for a used machine and could not find anything. Most good machines bring what the owners paid new for them after several years and many hours. If you are like me and run things forever I would pick out a new machine and pay the extra $.. I waisted way too much time looking at used stuff which I could have spent working on the homested.<br>mario<br>

I ended up taking the easy way out. I bought the JD ballast box and filled it with garden dirt. I also bought the bucket level indicator. $215 later (for both units) the JD dealer was happy and I have a ballast box that is easy to use. I'm not certain what the ballast box weighs but it is enough to allow me to fully fill the 60

I have had my 4100 for 4 months. The battery arrangement is as you have described on your 4200. I checked the battery and hydraulic oil cooler and both are fine. Obviously you can do what you want to but if I were you I would be contacting my dealer for warranty repairs.

<br>I bought a 4600 HST with MFWD, R4s, 460 loader for 25K. A good dealer looked around and found one for me in 2 weeks. Had a 950 for years but I'll take the 4600 with HST any day. No shifting !! Only thing I don't like is the exaust outlet underneath. I seem to inhail a lot of diesel smoke. Anyone else have this problem ??

Remove the bulb from the indicator light (could cause a false reading at the temperature gauge); use a copper washer at the new temperature sending unit.

You will find that the 22 in rear tire is somewhat of an odd ball size. That size is typically found on the grey market imports. The bar tread you have is probably a rice tire with real severe cleats. <br>Firestone is making a 22 in turf tire to fit this rim. Check with them.
