DFKRUG,

They probably got the leaky hydraulic hose fittings fixed by now so you won't have any problems. It was caused by the the people in Romania not getting a good crimp on the end fittings. I had to replace 4 fitting ends both at the hydraulic cylinders and the control tree. I live 7 miles from the guy in Grand Blanc Michigan that designed the Praire Dog and his foreman has been to my house to see the mount I fabricated for the seat since since his mount is totally worthless if the Praire dog is attached to the Tractor with a subframe. It was also the first time his foreman had a seen this hoe attached with a Wood's subframe. On my B-2150 Kubota the seat mount that comes with Praire Dog couldn't be used because it hit the tractor's gas tank because in put the seat and Hoe much closer to the tractor than if one mounted it using the 3 point mount. I also complained about the 12inch bucket teeth 1/2 mount plate that had cold welds that pulled apart from the bucket. I fixed that myself but I dropped the bent i/2 plate with the welds that looked like pealing caulking. They took care of that too but my welding labor wasn't covered but the bent 1/2 thick plate was only 7 bucks.

Overall I have been real pleased and wouldn't hesitate to buy another. Working with an engine RPM of 1800, I have worked this hoe to the max and it passes all tests at 2/3s of the cost of comparable hoes. This hoe also has the nicest most comfortable of any I have sat on since you can adjust it for your individual weight.

If you had to buy a Green tractor instead of Orange, my choice would be the 790 and I could live without the hydro instead of a too small of tractor like the other 2 tractors mentioned being the 2210,4010, and 4100.

JD 790 or 2210 or 4010 or 4100 Pls Help -

I would be interested in the list too. Don't forget guys Ebay is a good source of aftermarket parts too. I just bought a geniune brand new Kubota Tractor seat for my B-2150 that was well over 75.00 bucks at a Kubota dealer for 24.50 and that included shipping. I think my email address is in my profile.

Shortmagnum,

Most the front end loaders of most if not ALL CUT tractors wont lift 3,000 to 4,000 pounds anyway. My Woods 1006 front end loader on a my B-2150 is around a 1000 pounds lifting capacity.

Amsoil may be a good synthetic oil but for what it costs it should be. A synthetic oil that tops the list is Shell Rotella in 5W 40 sold at Wal-mart for 12 something a gallon. Soot control and all the good stuff a synthetic oil should be for not alot of $$$$.

Guys,

Looks like a good discussion going on here. Anybody thought about changing your old style hydraulic fluid and replace it with synthetic hydro fluid ( Chevron Synthetic is what I use). That synthetic fluid runs WAY cooler than regular hydraulic fluid. Run your backhoe on its own PTO driven pump with a hydraulic resevoir 2.0 times larger than the capacity of your pump. Using those 3 things and the chance of overheating your hydro fluid are slim to none.

Nice tractor and backhoe. Is there any particular reason why you didn't get a subframe for your hoe. Scares the dog doo out of me when I hear somebody spending that kind of money and not getting a subframe.

Good Luck.....I found that subframe info is tough to get since most manufacturers are in the business of selling you a subframe and NOT providing you a bluprint for making your own. I have been where you are at and I found it was much cheaper to pay for a subframe made especially for your tractor by the manufacturer of the backhoe you plan to buy. If the backhoe you plan to buy does not make a subframe to fit your tractor....FIND A backhoe manufacturer that DOES. The Wood's subframe I paid 400 bucks for my B-2150 could easily be made for way less than 400.00 but when you don't have the plans 400.00 is a bargain. Needless to say, the subframe necessity has been debated on this site FOREVER and the general concensus is A SUBFRAME for a backhoe is A DARN Good Investment.

Mr Treeplanter,

You don't say if your B-2410 has a backhoe or not. I assume it does because I find it would be real tough to put in a septic field and dig a pond with the equipment you have.

Art,

When you say they make them for Kubotas, how small of backhoe bucket do you mean? I have never seen a quick attach bucket for a small 7.5 backhoe for a compact tractor although I have seen quick attach buckets for the much bigger stuff. In the mean time I guess I will still be driving out the buckets 1 inch pivot pins.

Hey guys,<br>

CDP makes it pretty easy to make your own backhoe thumb with that nice blueprint on their website. Grab your chopsaw and welder and save a bunch of $$$ and make your own backhoe thumb. Even a student in high school metal shop class can handle this easy to do project. Weight of thumb is about 25 pounds depending on size you make and reduction in capbability due to a measily 25 pounds on the dipper is miniscule. Folds up under the dipper when not needed. A good metal project that comes in REAL handy.

The chance the DVD will be replaced in a few years with something different than DVD is slim to none. This is similar to to debating what current power technology could replace a diesel internal cumbustion engine. I worked for Hitachi, Panasonic, RCA, Texas Instruments and Direct TV, but you seem to know more than me. The DVD is here to stay and there is NO technology for media storage I and my industry contacts are aware of that can economically replace the current DVD as we know it. Replacing the VHS VCR tape with DVD came real slow. The technology to replace DVD is not even thought of yet. Believe it or not the choice is yours.

AroostBoy,

Good deal that you got yours modified. Some guys don't have the time or mechanical fabricating skills to do a modification of a subframe to make it fit their tractor when the subframe wasn't intended for their tractor.

You are right Willie H. A target price 5500 for a Woods backhoe smaller than the 6500 is not much. Maybe they think this backhoe will have sales potential for tractors that weren't designed for the 6500. Whatever Woods is thinking doesn't make much sense to me since the market for that backhoe is so small and specialized. I wonder if they can make any money after all their start-up and design costs?

I bought a Homelite TimberMan 18" for 179.99 at Home Depot after 12 years of nothing but problems with a Stihl. The Homelite has a 45cc engine and a narrow kerf .325 pitch chain. I figure I put nearly 200 bucks in repairs over 10 years with another 100 3 months ago in the Stihl with about 20 hours of use. Now the Stihl won't run at an angle even with a new carberator because the repair guy said that they had problems with too hard of piston rings than the cylinder walls that accelerated wear and causes low compression. The saw sits in my garage ready for the junk man because I refuse to put another penny into that mechanical money sucking leach. This Homelite saw puts my problematic 350 dollar Stihl to shame. I improved performance greatly with a semi-chisel extra chain over the standard chain that come with the saw. I considered a Husky at Lowes but with a bigger engine I was looking at 150 bucks more. I also have a 2 year old nice 16" Mac with a 35cc engine I use for delimbing but once you get used to a 45cc its tough to grab the Mac. The Timberman is balanced well and no numbness in hands after you use it and I don't use a chainsaw more than 2 hours at at time since I need a break from that kind of manual labor. Both saws use about 1 tank of bar oil to 2 tanks of gas which is very reasonable.

Art,

Yup, Art I know what you mean and I agree with you. But the guy already has a FEL on the tractor so power steering must not be that big a deal. I stated the scenario STRICTLY on the basis of WEIGHT. There are other factors as you have stated that make a 6.5 hoe better suited for his tractor, but in this case WEIGHT is a not a good basis for reasoning why he can't put on a 7.5 Hoe. Heck, my B2150HST weighs 1950 plus 650 for FEL and 300 for wheel weights. I have on a subframe mounted, PTO driven pump, and 1000 pound 7.5 backhoe. I think it matched excellent with my 4 cylinder 24 hp and 19.5 PTO hp diesel.

We forget Dieppe in 42 because it was a colossus British and Canadien screw up, that in part is why an American General named Eisenhower was put in charge of ALL ALLIED European WAR EFFORTS.....to prevent similiar Dieppes. If Dieppe had been successful, how long do you think British and Canadien troops could have been supported by Britain in 1942 after landing???? NOT LONG because that was impossible. Dieppe was a good example of what not to do. Total stupidity and mindless suicide of good soldiers who paid with their lives for incompetant British leadership. <br>

Commonwealth support??? How many warships did the your "Queen" and your "Commonwealth" have at Coral Sea stopping the Jap advance to Australia........NONE! The United States STOPPED the Japs in the Pacific at Coral Sea and Midway singlehandidly...without 1 Commonwealth warship because the Japs sunk all British warships prior to Dec 1941. Canada had no "heavy" naval ordinance in the Pacific and the entire War because Canada relies on the US to protect them!!! The United states ended that "Commonwealth" stuff in 1776 and 1812 for good reasons.<br>
<br>
Canada was a good player in WW2, but a good player is "told" what to do. The three main allied leaders in WW2 were Roosevelt, Churchhill, Stalin. Canada wasn't in the BIG 3, but like the good lil troopers they are, they took and followed orders well. The Industrial might of the United States in WW2 ...WON the WAR PERIOD. Get over it, at least Canada was on the winning team as an important contributing player, no more no less. Lead, follow, or get out of the way, is the nature of war. It is better to get your feelings hurt and be offended while being on the winning side than to moan and groan because history didn't give your efforts the attention you thought they deserved. There is no democracy is post war historical publications, just major players, minor players, winners and losers. Canada's WW2 role was a minor player with contributing overall value as an ally. History may have slighted Canada but that is the way it goes. <br>
