jimw Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 I was watching a guy clean out the lot where they sell JD lawn and garden tractors, heck they must have 20 or 30 of them . Nice little rig with cab and loader. Guessing 25hp. When he went to dump snow after pushing it up on the pile the dang thing moved so slow u couldn’t even rattle the bucket out. Maybe the hydraulics where turned down ? I’d be pretty disappointed if I couldn’t shake out the bucket kinda how u have to do it with wet snow.

New Englander Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Operator error? Could be a counter guy cleaning the lot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12_Guy Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Tractor at an idle?? Operator error or not familiar with the tractor. I’m sure with a little throttle it would be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawleigh99 Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 (edited) I have a 2004 JD 4310 30hp hydro with a 4 in 1 that dumps just fine, even with 1000 hours on it. It will really bang the bucket when you dump if you aren't careful! Edited January 27, 2022 by Rawleigh99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimw Posted January 27, 2022 Author Share Posted January 27, 2022 I don’t no anything about them , I just watched from the stoplight , maybe he had her at idle ? But it looked pretty slow from where I was . I thought for what they cost they would be faster. Shows how the right or wrong operator can sell a machine.

vtfireman85 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I was on a 75 ish horse Kubota the other day, hydraulics were quite slow, hard to shake the bucket as you describe. But the 38hp one here shakes it out fine, the backhoe is slow however, it isn’t really possible to get too rowdy with it, which is good, if you move too fast you are liable to hit yourself in the sack with the controls…. Made for shorter people I guess 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
