Topic

I know this is an older thread, but wanted to share a link to a company that makes what appears to be a solid toothbar and lanscaper bar. I'm setting my $ aside for the landscaper bar. It looks like this design is as solid as any, and as expensive, too. Reference courtesy of "Henro." The landscaper has teeth every 2.5-3 inches versus the 10-11 inch spacing of most toothbars. Better for "raking," backdragging, smoothing, and brush removal work. The front edge is a "wrap-over" design which protects your bucket's cutting edge, adds rigidity, and provides a wear surface on the bottom of the bucket.

Hi, DennoAce. Welcome. I just posted about taking delivery of a 4110, but it's an HST model so I cannot help you with your tranny questions. Besides, I only have 1.2 hours on it as of today. I know you are not inviting a discussion about hydrostats versus gear trannys, but I think hydrostats are so well-engineered these days that your concern about 15 to 20 years down the road may be a bit of over-worry. Besides, who keeps their compact tractors for 20 years anymore? Just my opinion, and I can't argue that there is nothing more bullet-proof than a gear tranny. Just kidding about the 20 year thing. You are right that you should be able to use a CUT for that long. I think the hydro will last, too.<br>

As far as the backhoe, you just got the advice I would give. The 46 backhoe for the 4110 and 4115 does not stress the toplink hinge becasue it is a true subframe backhoe. Mark Hunstiger is your best source of info on a backhoe on a 4115. I think he used to have a 4100, too. Anyway, if you intend to build a backhoe later on it would be most advisable to imitate what the Deere engineeres think is best for this model. As far as your price, can't help much there either. I got my 4110 HST w/ 410 loader, 53" bucket w/custom hooks and level indicator, 60" deck with mulching kit, block heater, rear work light, front qucik hitch and angling bracket (I already have the snow plow moldboard), and a 5-foot United HD box blade for a net cost of about $15,900. I moved up to the 4110 on a warranty issue with my 2210. I got a pretty good deal, I think.

The only reason the 2210 lift is classified as "limited" is the vertical range (height) of the lift. The BX line had this limitation plus the lift arms did not have the horizontal range (spread width) to accommodate all cat 1 implements. The 2210 spread width is true Cat 1. The vertical limitation on both tractors is primarily because of the short stature from smaller wheels. I'm not sure if Kubota has given the lift arms more horizontal range on the newer BX but this was a key issue for me when I bought my 2210. The position control linkage makes life a lot easier on any tractor.

Thanks, KW. I may never need the added gussets, but it seemed like a good idea. I suppose it cost me an exttra hour of shop time, but what the heck. Your HD bucket might not ever know the difference. BTW, that 4310 sure looks better with the shiny side up!

Stopped by my dealer to check on my incoming 4110 and see how the bucket hooks are going. Talked with the top-dog shop welder who is doing the work to impress him with all my newfound knowledge. He saw right through it, of course. Asked him whether he had ever had problems with his repair welds or bucket hooks breaking or coming loose. He told me that, of course there had been a couple early in his 20 year career as a welder on ag equipment and custom bikes, but that once you have the technique and can recognize the proper materials, that his weld often held up when a customer pulled something apart at other factory welded seam. He also mentioned that my hydraulics will go to pressure relief and my wheels come off the ground before I ever stress even a crappy weld of this type. As you might guess, he also mentioned that when morons begin "yanking" the slack on chains while pulling or lifting something that all the rules were off.

Phew!....Man am I ever sorry I clicked the "Please notify me" drop down box when I posted. I haven't had this much spam since they first figured they could try to sell Viagara on the Web.

I have never used Slip Plate graphite paint in the chute of a blower, but it might be worth a try. The aeresol is less durable than the brush-on. We've always used it in mower and auger chutes as well as other applications where things tend to clog. Tractor Supply and similar retailers and coops carry it. Funny, this is the second time today I have recommended Slip Plate. Hope I haven't cursed the company or the product.

Art, I should have offered that I am unfamilar with the details of the Kubota line above the 7500. Just never looked because I knew I wasn't going to buy anything that big. I'm pretty familiar with the Kubota BXs...at least I was while I was shopping heavily before I bought my 2210 a year ago. I could have thrown a blanket over the BX and the 2210 and chosen either one. The dealer was the final factor in my decision. I understand that K has improved some things beyond where they were with the 2200 when I shopped. It was hard enough to decide then... My only real point above was just to tout the smaller tractors as more maneuverable mowers than the bigger framed CUTS. Pete

Oops, sorry JAZAK5. We did a "simul-post." I'll check to see how the numbers match up to those posts you mentioned. Pete

Hi, bmclernon. I have two sets of tires for my 2210, and my dealer only wanted to give me credit for the turfs so I kept the four mounted bar tires and will be selling them shortly. Anyway, I never had trouble with the bars in snow and only needed 4-wheel drive in pretty heavy stuff. I'm only getting a set of turfs for my 4110 and am considering rubber chains that will not mark up or gouge my asphault. I think a set for the 2210s or the 4110s tires will run around $120. You can order them through Deer Creek Equipment from their website or at any of their 3 stores in our area. I should have my new machine nex week, hopefully before the storm forecast for Thursday.

I was told to use break-in oil on my 2210 w/ Yanmar up to 100 hours, then go with premium oil. That is the same spec that JD publishes with its break-in oil even though their small diesels are exclusively Yanmars.

Don't attach anything extraneous between the lift arms and the toplink hinge plate or the toplink assembly. First, you would be disrupting the dynamics of the 3PH and transferring weight from the load-bearing lift arms to the weakest part of the hitch. Second, there is a known issue with the Toplink hinge plate attachment and you could possibly void your warranty on the plate assembly, tranny, and rockshaft. Use tape or paint on the PTO drive shafts of your PTO equipment, and practice with the ground engaging stuff. You'll get beter.

You will be fine with a 2210 for your property and maintenance work. The engine displacement between the two is identical and you will pay between $2,000 and $3,000 more for a similarly equipped 4110. Your next step up to a 4110 gains you stronger/faster hydraulics, greater weight and stability, better functions(position control) and height with the 3PH, bigger tires and wheels, and a more comfortable seat suspension.

Excellent points, Cheif. I'm not certain whether the seal in my 62C is designed to hold its integrity under the ambient level of lubricant at all times. I will take a gander when I get a chance, but if the seal is constantly submerged when the deck is horizontal, it shouldn't know the difference when turned to the vertical position. Worthy of investigation either way.<br>

Hi, Mudpie. Check out the Turfco TM42. Just right for my 2210 and yours. Once you get out of the cheap drag-behind aerators, the price runs between $650-$1,500. The TM42 is 225 pounds dry and has water ballast jugs that will allow you to load up to a total weight around 600 pounds. It will pull 3/4" by 4" plugs with one of the tightest patterns in the business. <br>
