I agree Norm,<br>BTY: my father has a trac-vac blower system, and that thing handles leaves/clogs very well. I plan to head this route as well.

Larry,<br>I completely understand your gripe, Unfortunately, JD is specifying for the use of EITHER 6 (JD)wheel weights 'OR' 75% liquid filled tires. PLUS the JD ballast box containing a minimum of X.XX lbs inside, potentially using one of the various materials mentioned. JD most likely DOES NOT approve of putting 100% of the required ballast in a 3pt mounted box, and therefore isn't going to give you the recipe to do otherwise. And for a good reason.. of which I had the unfortunate experience of learning first hand, the first day I owned my 4100. Wheel weights not only increase the rear weight ballasting, but much more importantly add stability to the tractor. A ballast box on the other hand can decrease your stability, if positioned improperly (too High). As I quickly found out one day. Doesn't mean your idea won't work.. JDs just not going to put it in writing. Also from another legal stantpoint, JD would be foolish to indicate the total ballasting/weight req's. A lawyer would be very quick to say

No different than a coffee cup stating "HOT" all over the cup....DUH, thats a new one!...But McDonalds can tell you, Stupidity pays off..In the Millions..
In answer to your question.. Wheels weights(Qty 6) @ 60lbs each= 360lbs. "> JD4100 ballast

Kim, The trickest system and reasonable cost was my neighbors back-blade. He mounted a set of adjustable wheels to prevent the gouging effect. This is great if you have a soft-gravel type driveway, where skid-shoes will dig in-- creating

There is a JD955 in Charlotte, NC. It is a 1996 model with 170 hrs. The ad says it has a loader with an extra bucket, turf tires, and has been kept inside. The warranty is good until March of 2000, and they are asking $15,950.<br>The phone number is (704) 542-7344.<br>I live near Charlotte and a recently bought a JD755. I drove up to Maryland to get it...good used tractors at good prices are hard to find.

Paul,<br>I suspect other readers on this board are more knowledgable to the exact reasoning. From everything I've gathered, it has to do with the 4100 having a cast aluminum tranny housing. This combination appearantly cannot handle the torsional stress a backhoe places on the unit, even 3pt hook ups. Obviously you can physically install a 3pt BH unit, but JD will void your warranty for doing so. I guess JD wants you to go for at least the 26HP unit if you need a BH.

I too have State Farm, in Michigan, my agent told me, fairly quickly, that my tractor was covered for theft or fire as long as it is on my property and being used to maintain my property. Any use resulting in profits would void this coverage. They faxed information to my credit union, where I got my loan, and they were satisfied, plus I have in writing, somewhere, that they stated that it is covered. I think the key to the insurance is that it is not business related and like an oversize lawnmower. I think most places hear tractor and think you are going to be farming or a contractor.

I have a friend that has a blower set up to run by hydraulic motor and is mounted on a Toro three wheel golf course mower with no problem, except the snow here is always wet and slushy. The mower puts out about 23HP and the blower is about five foot wide. I'm not sure about direction of rotation, but if the pump can be run either direction the you can drive it either direction, if not then drive it backwards. the torque against the shaft will be in the same direction and the pump will not know if it is driving or being driven.<br>After talking to my friend about this he said that it seems that pumps are always smaller(pressure,)and motors biger(volume). My guess is that you would need to figure out the RPM needed on the blower and then the RPM given on the rear PTO and by volume of pump and then volume of motor figure the volume ratio that matches the RPM difference ratio. Should be a correlation like this if pump to motor volume = 1:1 then rpm = 1:1, if pump to motor volume = 2:1 then RPM = 1:2, and if pump to motor volume = 1:2 then RPM = 2:1. So in the first case the pump to motor rpm is the same (PTO to Blower RPM) , the second it slows the motor to half and the third it doubles the blower speed. I will bet that if you talk to the right hydraulic guy he will half a day discussing this with you. Good luck and remember this advise is free and worth just as much.

Sounds like a good machine. How much reach do you have with the bucket and how wide are the tracks?

I have a kubota L175 17HP 2WHEEL drive with a front mount 5'double 2 stage blower it runs it fine. Only problem is its a pain to take off so once its on it stays on for the winter.I also have a back blade that does just fine. Would be interested in selling the snowblower if your looking for one. I have a small driveway and don't really need it.Its a commercial grade blower and its in very good condition.

I have had no problem so far with my TC29D, it seems to have all the power I need to do the loader work that I have ask it to do. This is only the second tractor I have used so I am no expert, but I've been happy so far (35hrs). The thing that suprised me was what a differance 4wheel drive makes...

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good rotary mower and tiller? I<br>will be pulling them with a 42 hp (34 PTO hp) tractor over relatively<br>level but hard ground.

Kia the ones I'm used to working with will draw power till you get to the bad one. Remove them and use a 100amp minimum battery charger to test them, they should show red and or heat. cleaning won't make a difference. Different types and designs work differently and its adviseable to know how they are supposed to work. Some glow plugs have to be on for up to 90 seconds to do there work and some only need a 10 second time to start. I have seen people try and do the work you are asking about and I would recommend you find a local technician to do the work. It often is cheaper in the long run than to make a mistake or to.

i have had a pto generator for about 6 months and would share these observations with you .<br>i have a generac 25kw unit with built in voltage and frequency meter. the frequency meter is in my opinion very important if you are going to run electronic equipment . since the motor is not voltage or frequency controlled you need to be able to evaluate this, motor pitch does not reliabley help you with the frequency. in other words you can not tell if the frequency changes by listening to the motor sounds. poor frequency is extremely hard on electronic equipment.<br>i have found in my particular case that i can set the frequency on 60.7 HZ with no load and will have plenty of power to start my 75 ft well pump (1hp) without dropping below 59HZ on startup. this is the largest motor i have. this is addition to the usual house hold load.<br> i have installed a transfer panel from gentran to safely handle the power output. this is very important to anyone planning on using a generator.<br>the other thing you might consider is that if your tractor is powering your generator you cant use it for other things like clearing snow, etc.<br>all in all i am happy with the generac, very well built unit. weighs about 535 lbs without the trailor. <br>hope this helps<br>al
