I thought I read somewhere that a pallet of sod weighs about 4,000 lbs. But then again my CRS could be playing tricks on me. That might be a tad much for that trailer to handle in that case.

Hopefully the product data sheets I requested will have more detailed info. I will post them, when I get them. I also made a suggestion to Kubota to post this info. on their website. Not that my 1.5 cents worth of suggestion will register with them but you never know.

Air pressure, nearly as dependable as gravity.

I brazed an air fitting into a hole drilled in the 'vent plug' of a 55 gallon drum, the pickup tube, filter hose and nozzle screw into the other 'bung hole' opening. I have a $5 pressure regulator that reduces the compressor air pressure (125 psi) down to about 15-20 psi which is more than enough to send it up the hose and into the tank. I think in total it cost about $100 for all the parts.

I have seen it done with 5 gallon Jerry cans and other tanks too, such as a surplus tank from a big truck, but I use the 55 gal. drums because that's what my fuel comes in.

Best of luck.

Stonegate, if you go with the Kubota, I would suggest the L3830 or larger. Better hp mix and for the uses you mention; a bit larger tractor might serve you better. I use my 4410 for pretty much the same tasks you do and have found that a bigger heavier tractor pull logs better. This does not mean the 4410 is not up to the task, it just needs a lot more weight. A 4610 might be something to consider. If size is the critical consideration as you discuss; just be sure you get enough ballast weight to get the tractor to pull well.

I'm not sure what a "ratwall" is. Never heard the term, so I guess the answer is 'no'. They used the bottom rail that the siding attaches to as the outside forms.

I have a 790 and use an MX-5 with no problems. Just be sure you have enough from end weight. As I recall, the MX-5 lists for around $1800 - $2000, so you're talking a significant cost increase unless you can find a used one. I bought mine used (less than one year) for the same cost as a new LX-5.

There are Kubota dealers in Rose City and Hillman. Check out Ginops website, they generally list what used equipment they have at their dealers, and can give you a quote on a new machine. They have dealerships in Hillman and Alanson. I think in Michigan you can do a little better than the 10K you were quoted.

Oliver, definitely take JKJ's advice and read that book. As a fellow horse husband I sympathize with you ;-) My wife and I have built stalls for our two small barns, however, she's great at figuring out exactly what she wants and executing it, so I've only been there to help with the construction and not with the choice of materials... but here's my advice:<br>
<br>
Rough cut is great, stronger and cheaper, however, we used kiln dried 2x6's just because of availability. We've always just nailed in the boards, makes it easier to replace pieces when broken/eaten through.<br>
<br>
Some horses just love to chew (our two remind me of beavers occasionally), once you've finished with the stalls treat them with some sort of chew stop (there are clear treatments which are quite effective). It's amazing how quickly they can turn that beautiful new stall into something ugly (they will tend to eat just more than the top board...)<br>
<br>
As hardwood mentioned rough cut is heavy, our 2x6 kiln dried stall doors are heavy enough, I can only imagine them with the extra weight. Since you're in Mass, door hardware (tracks and hangers) are available at your local Home Depot (look for Stanley hardware) or try your local feed store.<br>
<br>
One thing to note before doing the construction, if you're considering stall bars be sure to decide on a manufacturer before starting/finishing construction. We were limited since the barn wasn't quite as big as we wanted, so we have slightly odd stall sizes which meant that we'd have to order custom bars which meant several thousand $$$. <br>
<br>
I love tractorpoint.com, however, you may consider posting to a more equine oriented forum (and then perhaps update this thread with your findings), my wife is addicted to the Ultimate Dressage forum - very active and informative group.<br>
<br>
Maybe I can get my wife to post, she's the one you really want to talk to ;-)<br>
<br>
Congrats on moving your horses home! It'll save tons of money and if your wife is anything like mine, it'll make her happier to have them where she can see them all of the time.<br>
<br>

Sure Tom,

Check out http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&q=futian+new+holland+trade+dress. Should fill you right in. That lawsuit left a lot of "in-country" Futians sort of high and dry. If you get a post-lawsuit Foton (they changed their name for subsequent American sales), it stands to reason that the parts support can only be better than that for a pre-lawsuit tractor.

Sorry for your troubles, Blue. We havn't had too much plastic breakage yet (2001 TDI Jetta, 50K miles) but I do agree some of the plastic pieces seem a bit on the chincy side of the quality curve. The fuel door was replaced under warranty, but the drivers inside door handle is now peeling and the warranty is gone, so I guess it will be time to pay up there. Our cup holder is hanging in there with surprisingly no breakage yet. (I thought it would be the first thing to go!)

Otherwise the 50MPG is savings enough to pay for some minor plastic issues in my oppinion.

The motor in my 2230 is smoother and QUIETER compared to my neighbor's 2200. Seat is nicer too. I have only used the cruise while "roading" so I see little use for it.

My website has a bunch of detail pics if you are interested. I did get the instructions posted for the grass catcher mounting procedure, but no pictures yet. Maybe in a couple days.

With two new knee joints I am having trouble cleaning and removing the blades on my current riding mower so I am looking for a residential riding mower with a flip up deck. I know there are some out there like the Walker S model and the Country Clipper Jazee model. I have read good things about the Jazee and it is reasonably priced in the 4 to 5k range but I can not find a dealer in Idaho. The Walker is pretty spendy at over 7k. Does anyone know of any other residential models out there with a flip up deck. Also any one with experience with the Jazee or Walker. <br>
Appreciate any feed back in on this subject.<br>

Got new B-2910 with 72" MMM last Friday......Man it is even better than I thought.......I did not realize what a good deal until I saw on this forum people were paying as muct as $18,500. for B-2910 with same mower.....I only had to pay $15,800. walk out price......I did go to three dealers within about a 50 to 75 mile area....but prices were not that much different....so I went with the dealer that I KNEW had the best service dept.......I know that on my B-8200 with a 60" MMM that I have had for 19 years I have probably paid as much or more for maintenance as I originally paid for the tractor...keeping it in tip top shape.....but the dealer I have been trading for for all of those years, really has NO service dept...at all....I literally have sent him 14 CUSTOMERS all ready to buy KUBOTAS....because I had already SOLD them on Kubota....all I ever asked in return is that he could get my tractor back to me within 3 to 4 days when something went wrong with it so I could cut my grass when it needed to without it getting too tall!!!! He always kept it 10 to 14 days....not for parts, but because he said he was too busy to get to it! It looks like a Kubota comercial when all of us are cutting in my area...we all have yards of about 4 to 5 acres with more land behind our yards......and they all now have Kubotas....except one farmer who has a large Massey.....I love my new tractor
