Yes I had heard of this mower this past spring,Kubota is dropping the G-series mowers,and has a new ZTR.I've heard of a showing this fall in New Orleans,where dealers will get the first look at them.Maybe someone will take a digital camera with them and furnish us with some good pics.

I don't think you will find any such animal,not a mid-mount anyway.Lots of rear mounts made out there,I can tell you that the 72" mid-mount deck thats designed for the B2710,is the same deck as the previous model B2150.The mounting brackets on the deck will match the new style linkage of the 2710.Might be such a thing as finding a good used deck somewhere,but you'll still have to come up with the newer style linkage.I would expect that's the reason why the "Factory" mid-mowers are a little pricey,nobody else makes them.

I am wanting a NH/Case Tractor. I visited the dealer and he will be getting them in about a month. Anyone know of any sites that show the new Case ones, specials, pricing etc. I realize they are basically a NH painted red. I read somewhere that they )case) will not be able to get the supersteer. Is the supersteer really that much of a benefit. I would like to keep the Case family, because the dealer is intown, good to work with, etc. Your thoughts please. Thanks in advance, Mike

Does anyone have the information on the new Case tractors that are coming out. I realize they are basically Red boomers but I was wondering about the pricing structure, specials, etc. I figured since this is their grand entry into the compact market, other than the cub line, their might be some special promotions. Thanks. Enjoy the board.

Thanks for the info. I am not sure what type of loader is on this one, but it is painted like the cub so i assume it is one of theirs. I am gonna try to offer them my tractor and 7k. I just bought this 284 with a great bend loader, for 7.5k, and it only has 1100 hours on it. I am gonna lose the tax money, but the tractor in question is at the same dealer that i bought the 284 from. Oh well. we will see. thanks

Patrick,Thanks for your imput,I've looked at the Landpride line of mowers on the web,but not first hand.I know they make a good product,and we have a dealer close by,I'll have stop by and grab a broucure.The 11 ft. Bush hog mower outweighs the Landpride by about 400+ pounds,I figured most of the weight diff. was in the decks themselves,the Bush Hog uses 7 gauge steel verses 10 gauge the Landprides are made of.But 10 gauge is pretty healthy for deck material,I'm looking for a good quality cut and a long mower life combined.Do you think a L3010/L3410 would have plenty of PTO H.P. to handle that 11 footer your using now?Also what would be a fair price on the Landpride? Thanks again,Mike

Rob,I recently experienced an expensive day on our 2710,my wife and I had just completed burying 2500 ft. of wire for a dog containment fence.I got onto our tractor when I noticed a shovel behind me on the ground,when getting back off to pick up the spade,I managed to step from the tractor platform into a small depression in the yard.I had my full weight on my left foot when I stepped off.Well,I went down like I'd been shot,my first thought was that I had broken my ankle,my wife was close by,and also thought it was broke.Turns out it was a major-league spain,with a lot of damage.I felt lucky it was'nt broken.By the time I can get back to work,I will have lost several hundred bucks,if not in the thousands.This will be one of those expensive lessons,learned the hard way,and will soon not be forgotten.Just a reminder that things can happen very quickly,and the majority of accidents can be prevented when your heads in the game.

Mike,I think you will find that if you hook-up to that type mower,you'll have problems keeping your left rear tire on the ground,not a good thing.I'm sure there is someone out there that makes a cycle-bar type mower for a compact,but I can't tell you who.

Chuck and Jim,No bubbles burst here,I'm not trying to get into a brand name war here,I know there is good and bad in product lines,and yes I'm sure that Deere/Dana and Jeep/Dana will resolve all their problems soon.I guess my biggest problem is the aggravation of spending $35,000-40,000 for a new vehicle that I have trouble with,and then to have a dealership tell me they just don't understand what could be wrong.I don't have time or the patience to take something to a shop every other week to have something repaired that should not be a problem to begin with.I don't think this is much different than spending $10,000-30,000 for a compact tractor and having problems with it also.

MikeS,When you find out how to adjust your deck,take the tractor on a nice flat surface and start measuring the distance between the bottom edge of your deck and the floor.Idealy you want the front edge of the deck about 1/4"-3/8" higher than the rear side of the deck.This allows for more volume of grass to enter the deck and keeps the deck from "striping".If your set your deck to perfectly level,on good grass,you can see the offset in the blade heighth.By offsetting the deck a little,it will do a much better job of mowing.I have a Kubota,the front linkage on the deck is where you make that adjustment,don't know about Deere,I would think it would be similar.

M Snyder,Don't feel like the Lone Ranger,I also seem to have a hard time being completely satisfied with whatever I've got.My wife does'nt understand how I have kept her around for as long as I have.I guess the grass always looks a little greener.Anyway, we own a B2710,and it's been nothing short of a great compact,it actually full fills all my needs"not thinking about trading it off" Taked to the Kubota dealer while back,he says they are coming out with a O-Turn mower one day,maybe next years model line up,might be worth the wait.

Tell your dealer that your a novice when it comes to operating a tractor,I'm sure he will take the time to go over every detail.When learning to use a loader or other equipment,the best way is to start out very slowly,keep the rpm's up,so you do not run out of power,best part of a hydro-trans.Just take your time to get to know the tractor,and to get the"feel" for everything.I also have B2710 with 72" mid-mower,this is an exellent mowing unit,the 2710 has lots of power,and is light on its feet.The mower deck is probably as well built,if not better than any other deck out there.You will enjoy the 2710,I recommend one highly.

Jeff,did'nt realize the differance between the B-series and the L-series loaders.I was assuming when Kubota came out with the Grand L-series tractors,the loader application would be updated also.Guess not.I previously owned a B2150,and hook-up and removal of the loader was a little more time consumming,that process would take 5-10 minutes,max.

WAY overkill indeed.Why such a small mower deck on such big tractors?If your stuck on Deere,the 4100 will do anything and everthing you ask of it,and for a lot less money.The lighter the tractor,the easier on your lawn,load the smaller tractor with weights to push snow and other tasks that ask for extra weight.If your not stuck on Deere,might check out the B-Sieres Kubota line.The smaller units still offer Bi-speed turn,a great feature for mowing.

I'm with Turfman,unless your pasture has a lot of sprouts,or you have some big sapplings to mow over with the bush-hog,I would also go with the turf tires.They will provide plenty of traction,and will let your tractor "ride" a great deal easier.Something you will appreciate after spending most of the day mowing your pasture.

How many times have you set out to make a purchase,and you end up spending more than you really wanted to?I would give this dealer a deposit to lock in this unit when it comes in.Sounds like a very good deal to me.

Get rid of that contractor! Here in Montana, where I am an electrician we are required to be licensed. Many states don't and I'm not sure what state you are in, but if your state does require a license make sure your contractor has one. Your 120v lighting installation IS governed by the National Electrical Code. If you don't use rigid nonmetallic (PVC)conduit or galvanized rigid conduit, at least use UF wire burried 24". A licensed electrical contractor who has studied the NEC would not think of doing what you have described. Like the other guys have mentioned you will be ultimately responsible for your own safety. Also, make sure the timer is rated for switching the amperage load you will have on it, and make sure you will not be exceeding the ampacity of the branch circuit you will plug the timer into. A safe and efficient electrical installation is not rocket science, but is quite more involved than stringing a few wires and plugging in a cord. It takes 2000 hours of school and 8000 hours of on-the-job training, and passage a comprehensive exam to be licensed in most states.

Dino,Seems like the prices on good used tractors is a lot like the prices on good used cars and trucks.With the cost of new,sure puts a lot of preasure on the used market.Myself, I would buy a new tractor that has full warranty,piece of mind on how it was "broken in" and if need be, very attractive interest rates.But if you're patient,and have time to shop around,you can sometimes come up with a deal.I own a B2710,and would highly recommend one,as far as a pickup,I don't know what to tell ya.We've got a half ton Chevy that will haul or pull anything I've ever put in it or hooked on to,at about 18-20 mpg.
