Rob,
Not sure any of us ever gave you any solid info about this tractor so not sure we answered your question. I did find that Lowes Tractor, a grey market dealer has recently imported a 3110 and I have attached a link showing the price should you wish to contact them.
Hope this is of some use......Jerri
Click on the link and go to 4wd tractors to arrive......

Klay,
The exchange rate is not quite that good, however, I have discovered that you can purchase many US manufactured items in Canada for less than could be purchased locally. This has been for me so far primarily electronics as the shipping is not prohibitive. I have attached a link to the Bank of Canada for a currency exchange rate calculator, which by the way is about 67% now.

Casey,
I have visited a number of these before to devise a best method for this well. However, thank you very much as I am sure this information will be very benefical to many. What you have done is another example of why this board is so great. Everyone here seems to be more than willing to give of their time to assist others and that is a very noble trait.

Again thanks, Jerri

Kelly,
You ask a number of questions without giving enough information. First who manufactures this unit? What model number? Horsepower, 2WD or 4WD? Is it a lawn/garden tractor or tractor? You mention hydraulic tiller, so do I assume this unit has no pto? Anyway, if you could fill in the blanks we maybe able to help.

Well I knew I could expect good advice and I got it. Now you guys have given me something else to think about. As Roger and Jim had mentioned and I did know but never really consider, was use of vegetation for erosion control. I never really considered a low growing plant, I only see weeds that grow 24" seemingly overnite.
Murf, thank you for the calcium chloride idea, I suspected I needed to mix something in with the oodles of clay I own.
Mike, I do have a dip but need to incorporate some additional spots to relieve some water from the road. Currently the road is crowned with a ditch to one side, however, it still has some lengthy staight runs at a fairly steep grade. I will try to break this up with something on the order of a gravel covered french drain.

Again, thanks for all the ideas, and of course if anyone else or Murf, Roger or Mike have others ideas by all means chip in.

Greg,

No, this should work fine and perhaps be a bit more flexible. However, I do not think it will be any cheaper. Hydraulic motors are not inexpensive, not to mention power beyond valve and additional hoses.

Roxanne, not sure I have the answer but you might try the Hinomoto board for some help. Link attached.

Out of curiosity, why are you selling the tractor? Need something larger, had troubles, etc.?

Bryan, you are right that AGCO is only going to take care of parts that are in stock for these tractors. They went out of production in the late 80's. Now what you may not know is that the manufacturer, Hinomoto still has parts, albeit in Japan and they are available. This may at first sound like a bad thing but I can tell you from expierence that it maybe good. I own an E2304 the grey market cousin of the MF 1030 and had to purchase a pto countershaft. This is not a very big or complicated shaft. However, AGCO wanted approximately $1,000.00 for it. I imported one direct for about $50.00 with shipping, took about a week. So long story short, if you like the tractor, keep it and develop some contacts with some grey market dealers.

JoAnn,
Not sure what sort of information you are looking for, but I too am a woman and enjoy my little tractor alot. Have been using it for grading, clearing, augering, some back hoeing, digging and etc.. It is one handy tool and kind of a neat passtime to be out by yourself. I assume this is what you are talking about and congratultation for still being active and having fun :)

Thatguy, not a lot to go on but here is some info. Depending on size of mower, replacement could run as low as say $500.00 and up. A replacement gear box would likely run in the $150.00 to $200.00 range. As Bird said, it maybe worth tinkering with before buying something else. Sorry couldn't be more help without more info.

You could go to that site, but be ready for a long wait. Apparently, this is the European site for Shibaura.

Julie, go to the grey market club on Yahoo, this is a common question and it can probably be answered there. Link attached.

Bob, yes Hinomoto built these tractors for AC/MF/DA and others. If the engine is the same, ie 2cyl and displacement then should be able to use manifold. You may want to contact the grey market club on Yahoo or better yet the Hinomoto club for some more help. BTW I own a Hino E2304 which crosses to the Massye 1030.

Good luck, Jerri

Roger,

You make a very interesting point and one that is not lost on me. Too many folks today expect that someone else will take care of everything for them such as car repairs, mowing the lawn or even purchasing groceries. Of course they seem not to fret about cost and I suppose that is OK, afterall someone is there to do these things and that is how they make their money. It does make you wonder and I know this is off subject, so I apologize, what may have happened should we had a real Y2K problem. For my part, I would like to know how to do as many things for myself as I possibly can, but I am probably a little on the weird side :)

Take care,

Jerri

I have seen skid steers float the bucket going forward and seemed like a good way to clean up for the final finish. I have also had difficulty doing this. I think I must bounce too much and wind up moving the lever and lifting the tractor. I guess I just need to practice. Jerri

This is a common question on many of the grey market boards. You might want to check with some of the grey market dealers for a used tiller set up for the reverse rotation. I hear alot of Satoh owners talking about this. Let me know if you need to know who to contact but you might start out at the Yahoo Mitsubishi board.

Never quite sure what to say about this one. Yes the dollars sound pretty good, but I would ask myself as I usually do when I find something that is so much less than the prevailing market, why? I believe you will find the answer is that this is just not the tractor that the Japanese tractors are. I would investigate further and talk to those who own one to get their impressions. On the face of it, I would be leary. I have seen one Chinese tractor and it did not do very well for a tractor with so few hours. Anyway, $10,000.00 is still alot of money and believe you would rather spend $15,000.00 on something you could depend than waste $10,000.00 on a pig in the poke. Continue with your research and let us know how it turns out.

Julie, don't own this tractor but perhaps we can reason this one out. I know everything is in Japanese but they are pretty good about graphics too. Look to see if you see something with 4 wheels and connection between them on the fenders. One of your levers should correspond to this location also. On mine, a Hinomoto, it shows two wheels with half of the connection between them filled in 2wd, for 4wd it shows a solid connection between the 4 wheels. Look and see if you don't have something similar and try it out. Good luck,

Maybe offering more help here than is wanted, but wanted to say that almost all grey market tractors imported into this country come with a tiller. For one reason or another, they are not always sold with the tractor. Having said that, they are often available with a 5 to 6' model from Yanmar, Hinomoto, Shibaru, Mitsubishi and others for about $500.00 to $600.00. Anyway, just a thought. Currently, there are a few being auctioned on ebay.
