Hi, I have a JD 755 and like everybody aspire to a larger tractor. In my case a 30 hp JD. I like to work on my own stuff so am Leary of upgrading to a computer controlled model. It frustrates me to no end that I am helpless to do much on my car and truck. please advise what was the latest pre computer model (4300?)I thought was the 4310 but I see ads listing E-hydro. Or is this a non issue, that is, are needed computer diagnosis or related problems rare.<br>
Thanks

How do the multi fuel stoves handle loose sawdust? Is there a hopper? sounds very messy to handle/load, and quite possably a fire hazard. I have a woodworking shop and would love to figure out how to burn the loose dry sawdust/fine chips I generate along with scraps.
Thanks

I'm looking for some info. I am going to put corrugated metal roof on my existing shop. This is a shed roof with 2" in 12" pitch, There is now 2 layers of rolled roofing and 1 layer of asphalt shingles on top, all in bad shape. I my strip this off as I go, If it doesn't prove to "pesky". My questions- Fastening the metal,the manufacturer is not overly informative but shows ether nails through the "high points" or screws through the "low points", can anyone comment on the reasons for this? I wish to use screws, but think holes in the "high points" will be less likely to leak. . What is the best Barrier to put under the metal? Tivek? I assume the is condensation under the metal.<br>
Thanks

Thanks all, I tried a test area with a spray bottle of Roundup. I will also test "20 mule team" borax. Broken, as far as making mental notes of existing locations, have done that for years, this year patches spread 3-4 times plus in size, I have got into it where I didn't expect it. It also has moved big time into areas I want to plant screen shrubs, tough to work there at the moment. Does anyone know how long the Borax lingers? Don't want to kill my new shrubs.

Do you mean how the bucket fastens to the loader arms? If so, it is not a quick attach. There is a bracket welded on the bucket with two pin location/bushings and a pivot stop.

I misspoke, you won't have the weight of the bucket to lift, so you will have a little more capacity.
Good luck

My 755 steering column cover rattles loudly at an idle, (of course the whole tractor vibrates a lot at idle) the noise drives me nuts, I usually up the idle till it stops,anybody fixed this? I purchased the tractor has aprox 1100 hours, can the bearing really be worn out? or is this normal slop?<br>
Thanks

My pet peve is that when the gun is loaded, cleaned, and ready, later when you go to use it, oil has seperated out and leaked all over. I have the Lincon air powered unit and it is no better in this regard than 100 year old designs pump units.

Thanks all, you have answered my current questions. I had hoped that this info is on the JD websites and I was just looking in the wrong areas. By the way, I had looked on tractordata.com with no luck. Thanks

Can someone give a rundown of the recent models/series of John Deere CUT's <br>
My first and current CUT is a 1990 JD 755(A Yanmar I belive), as a newcomer, I am trying to figure out how models/series run.<br>
I am dreaming about a larger (30hp) CUT, but cannot figure out how/why model #s are designated as to hp/model#. A larger version of my 755 is a 955, makes sense, but of course no longer made.<br>
I guess my question in part, is how are model #s are applied and why are the "series" always changing,it troubles me that they are discontinued every few years, Marketing?<br>
I was looking tward a 4310, but I guess that has also been phased out-----------<br>
Thanks

I agree with Harvey, but I used 2x3 metal studs so there would be no wood to soak up any moisture from the concrete.

JD 855,
I have a 755 and also planned to adapt a forklift mast to the 3pt, after taking the forklift apart, I realised the static weight of the mast,forks,ect. was going to so limit my lifting capacity it may not be succesfull. your 855 has the same 3pt rating of 785# 24" behind link ends ( I have never found out where exactly where this measurement point this is, But the forks alone are 90# each)
I put a hold on the project, time has not allowed me to get back to it, but I also have been thinking along the lines of the "Trailer" mentioned by Denwood, and would love to here more about it. The issue of haveing a CUT that is not heavy enough to hold the "trailer" down can be cured by extending the trailer boom lenth (at the cost of turning radius).
I also noted that the FEL had more capacity, so when time allows I will start with Fork adapter to pin on in place of the bucket.
Good luck, I hope to here more on how you make out.

The rest of the story is mechanical advantage.Because of the changing relationship of the three pivot points(loader, cylinder base, cylinder end) as the loader rises, while the hydaulic pressure remains constant, the leverage does not.The loader is configured for max advantage at ground level.
