I have a new 32 HP tractor, and wanted to do some earth moving with it. i am unsure of the capability of a tractor to grade land. Can anyone give me some real world experience with this? I want to level some large areas for a Horse Ring and a barn. It could require moving a lot of soil. My tractor is two wheel drive, and I planned to do it with a heavy box scrape. just looking for realistic expectation of a tractor this size. Tractor has front end loader also.<br>Also, (unrelated) but I have been using my bushhog to clear the land, and am afraid I am abusing it. It seems to cut through small pine 1 to even 3 inches in diameter. What is the capability of a bushhog? Should I worry about cutting too large a tree? Any advise?

I am moving to larger property, and bought a bigger tractor. I need to sell my kubota B7200 with Woods Dual front-end loader and Bushhog finish mower. Tractor has 700 hours, is in near perfect condition. Tires great. Kept indoors. Used to mow lawn, and move horse manure. Only have five acres so it is not abused.<br>The front end loader is less than a year old and the mower is less than 3 months old (I didn't know I was moving when I bought all this). <br>Selling 11,000 Firm.

Your comparison of the two series is not 100% correct the 55 series in a since had two hydraulic pumps it is just the the steering was pulled off of the hydrostatic charge pump and then the hydraulic pump was for implements only. The main differences between these two tractors is that the 55 series was a framed tracor using a C-channel frame, the 70 series a engine transmission frame, like the 4000's making the tractor heavier. Second the 55 series used a hydrostatic transmission.

I rented a JD 550 tiller from Grand Central Rental ($65 for 1/2 day). It was beat up but ran fine. Rocks not much larger that my fist kept on getting stuck and stalling the engine on my Kubota B2710. Isn't there supposed to be a clutch in this tiller?

Are there any disadvantages to the Glide Shift Transmission? The Kubota brochure says that it allows

move the shuttle lever to reverse, wouldn't that be an awful shock (to me and the tractor?)
I've read that the PTO on a GST machine stops when the clutch is depressed. Suppose I want to operate an implement like a post hole digger, where the PTO has to run when the tractor is in neutral. No problem, right?
For that matter, what do you think of the conventional transmission, the FST? "> Kubota Glide Shift Transmission

How many gallons per hour would a compact tractor use when running a generator?<br>Another web site mentioned that a 155 hp diesel tractor uses 10.45 gallons per<br>hour at full load. So if a generator needs 15.5 horsepower, maybe a compact tractor would burn 1.045 gallons per hour? For that matter, how many gallons per hour does it take to keep a PTO spinning at 540 RPM with -no- load? <br>By the way, do most compact tractors have governers that would keep the generator speed fairly constant as the load changes?

Can any 4200 hydro 4WD owners comment on the performance of the machine for loader work - say loading from an existing dirt pile? Is it strictly a low-range task? Does it have the power to fill the bucket pretty well, or does it tend to bog since it's fairly heavy for its power class? I'm trying to decide if it would be a big enough machine for some occasional dirt and gravel moving. I would like to equip it with R4 tires but potentially mow as well. I don't need a manicured lawn but also don't want it torn to shreds. Does anyone mow with a similar setup with good results? I might also consider the 4100 hydro if anyone has any comments on it for those tasks. Thanks for any help.

I do not know about tractor dealers But when I worked at a car dealership GM would reimburse for repairs if the owners paid for something under warranty if a Dealer was not avaiable Weekend,Holiday Towing ect. Just a try If the local dealer will not. Ask for the name and number of the regional Customer rep.<br>this will get the dealers attention or e-mail the USA kubota company

I know it sounds crazy, but think about renting a big boy's roller that are used for paving. One of my neighbors rented one for his lawn about ten years back, it turned out pretty good. considering that you have two acres it may be your best bet. you may want to aerate before you roll and then again in the fall just to allevate some of the compaction from the heavy roller.<br>
