    304C CR air conditioner issues

    You can always match belts at parts store. Measuring is also possible to determine length and width.

    Help me find the right backhoe/tractor - list of requirements

    I have gone through the exact same issue recently. After looking for TLB's and CTL's for months that met my criteria, I've decided to downscale slightly and buy new. Kubota is the only brand around here that meets service and supply requirements, other than JD. JD folks act like they're doing me...

    JD 323e owners?

    I could be wrong, but my info came via the internet, so it's gospel, RIGHT?

    Tier 4 Engine

    I've written that one off. Seems like there's as much scamming on CG as there is legitimate listings now.

    Tier 4 Engine

    Thanks, everybody for your help. I'm pretty sure the listing on CG was a scam anyway.

    JD 323e owners?

    I checked out a new JD 323e recently and was impressed with accessibility due to removable side panels. I've also been told that Koreans now own Deere and things ain't what they once were. I just don't know what to think anymore.

    Bobcat T770

    I also think it's a strange listing. The guy hasn't answered my email, so probably will never amount to anything. It's a shame, too. Just exactly what I need and at a good price, if it even exists.

    Tier 4 Engine

    When did tier 4 go into effect? I looked up specs for a Bobcat T770 and it said tier 4. It wouldn't be on a 2013, would it? I was mostly trying to find out what they required other than just fuel and air and compression to run. Trying to do due diligence before laying out many dollars for...

    Tier 4 Engine

    I would appreciate any info about what is different in running a Tier 4 engine as opposed to older engine with no emission controls. Also, what emission devices are on Tier 4? Thanks again.

    Need help with purchasing right trailer to carry a JD 110 backhoe behind a Chevy 2500

    I appreciate this info. I've dealt with Etrailer before and will certainly check out this hitch.

    Opinions on Volvo CTLs?

    There is a JCB dealer near me and I looked at his used ctl recently. There is some logic in the design. Entry is easier than others and visibility is pretty good. I don't know how well JCB supports owners with parts, etc. Newer machines have JCB's engines also. Have NO info on them. You now know...

    Need help with purchasing right trailer to carry a JD 110 backhoe behind a Chevy 2500

    On my Kaufman dump, it has 15-18% tongue weight. If I load it to 14K evenly, (10,200 load) tongue weight will be 2,100 lbs. or better. I don't know of a receiver hitch rated for anywhere near that weight. Sounds risky to me. Really wish I ws smart enough to have figured this out before spending...

    So in my quest to find my perfect backhoe for nearly nothing ( ha ha) I see a Komatsu 140 on CG. Needs outrigger cyl. and a/c serviced. Low hours he says? Anyone have knowledge of these critters? BTW it's 2001 model. 16k
