If you don't mind have a crick in your neck, get the rear mount. Seriously, I would get the front mount if I was in the market for a snow blower. I don't know what material your drive way is made of but have you considered an older pick-up with a plow. I think you could pick one up for less than the price of a blower and stay warm while plowing.

Tim, I see in your bio you have a JD 550. You could use the dozer to push everything up into a pile, rent a grizzly screen to remove the rocks and then doze the soil back in place.

But if money is an issue and time isn't I would still doze everything up and keep windrowing it off the blade.

Thank you all for the replies and the Info. Guess I should have made the post a few days ago. Starter came in today, I put it on and am up $ running.

I should have known better, I've been telling all my friends to check the internet/Tractor forums first before they buy because they're a wealth of knowledge, Duh. I was in a hurry, I'm logging wood and didn't want to be down for long. I thought I had it covered when the rebuild shop and the diesel shop both said it was a dealer item, guess I was just stuck in my own little world:))

"Bush and the GOP had a great opportunity, but squandered it."

I agree, but in '08 we need someone from the real America in the seat, Not from the left or the right and H. Clinton ain't IT. I'd like to see John McCain run.

Save some $$$ and go to your local junkyard and get a hood or trunk lid off a small car, put a hole through the part thats off the ground and run a chain through from the wheeler too the logs. Did that for many yrs. before I got a logging winch for the tractor. The trunk lid from a '70's era Toyota works good.

Rick, yes I have had good luck with mine, 2550 hrs now. There have been a few issues the biggest one being the three point hitch leaking down and that has just been fixed finally, but with all the tractors my dealer has sold in eastern Maine there were only two that they had seen this problem on.

mtullis, I have the diverter solenoid valve I think Murf was speaking of that operates my grapple and I love it. I have the 12V button mounted on my loader stick and when pressed it diverts the dump/curl to the grapple open/close, very handy. I have a neighbor that has the same type grapple and his is operated by way of the 3rd selective control valve, an additional control lever and is a PITA to use (slows things down).

By reading the W.R. Long site it looks like that diverter allows all six operations (dump,curl,open,close,lift and lower) at the same time which would be even better. I do wonder how much it would slow down the hydraulics on these smaller machines.

With the hydro you are always in the right gear. If you ever get an attachment that demands your attention then having a hydro is one less thing you have to worry about.

I have a JD 4700 hydro. I also have a grapple/rake on my loader. Doing exacting work with the grapple takes concentration and with a hydro I don't have to worry about shuttle shifting with a power reverser

With a hydro when you let up on the peddle (Forward or reverse) you stop even on uneven ground and can change directions with the touch of your foot. With a power reverser if you go into neutral you have to put your foot on the brake to stop (it's something you have to think about) not with a hydro.
Just MHO

I think the person asking the question needs to understand that they are getting what they pay for. I would not ask a home electrical, Plumbing, building, legal, etc. question on a compact tractor board thinking I was going to get a completely qualified answer. I would find a board/forum with that expertize and ask the ?? . We are here to discuss compact tractors and our experience with them. Think about it!

Also you need to remember, some of us are here to post as many times as we can to get the 5 tractors under our name showing that we are an expert:) I for one have been trying for 7-yrs now and it ain't happened (but maybe thats cause I don't know much):))

It is a shame that now days we have to work 16-18 hours a day to stay (ahead of the game). Divided between two people thats not bad, but what if one needs to stay home with a child? What if you don't have the education that it takes to bring home a large enough income too support everyone in the family? What if there are no Union jobs in the area you live that pay time and a half, double time or holiday pay. It is important to spend time with family, but some families don't have that choice.

I do not extend the oil change interval. If I can, whats the sense, I'm using this (more expensive/better quality oil) to make my engine last as long as I can, Not to squeeze every penny out of the increased cost. (IMHO)
