Love the owb carry! That’s my favorite way. Great information in the video! Thanks
Caring on Race i agree. thank you for watching stay healthy.
Thank you for this video! I am in the middle of upgrading from a 1025R to a 3046R as I just bought some acreage in Idaho that will be used as a tree farm. Luckily, I have a 3pt flail mower relieving me of any issues with a mid-mounted deck mower.
Yes...if you're using a loader I'd suggest wheel spacers. Please consider sending a picture of your farm and tractor to maraudermitchelli@gmail.com stay safe
Great video, Pete! That is such a beautiful tractor and I’m looking forward to seeing you blast some lake effect snow! We had a nice fall for dirt bikes in Mi. Now I’m gearing up for snowmobiling. Like you, I love getting outdoors and riding my toys. Happy Holidays!
My sister in law lives in the upper peninsula and had a great year snowmobiling last year. You live in a great state hope you have plenty of fun. If it snows you'll see it...stay safe and thank you.
Really enjoy your videos. Very informative. Thank you!
Kerk thank you, so many of my viewers are appreciative like you. I'm a guy like you with a camera and some machines who wants to share his interest with others like him. Stay safe and thank you for watching and commenting.
The owner of Bora recommended 4 inch spacers Back and Front for my 3046-R cab Tractor and its rock solid.!!!
I agree, if you don’t have a belly mower 4” would work in the front.
Very informative video, thanks for posting.
Thank you 😊
Greg from northern Michigan. I added two 90 degree male hydraulic quick couplings to the two outboard hose locations and rotate them upward to provide more wheel clearance. Aiming them downward reduces wheel clearance.
I also added two extra skids to the JD 59 inch snowblower housing because I have a very long gravel driveway. The original ones are installed on the inside of the housing, and the other two are installed on the outside using the same mounting thru holes. That way, I keep the gravel on my driveway instead of blowing it into the woods 😀.
As far as a hydraulic snowblower shoot deflector control, I installed a Merit Racing double shaft seal electric actuator setup. It us easy to install and wire up using a simple three position rocker switch setup with open neutral position.
The tractor axle housinga are made from either standard grey iron or higher strength nodular iron material, not aluminum. The axle shafts are made from heat treated steel material. The axle housings and internal shaft bearings carry the overhanging bending moments from total weight being carried.
Nice video as always.
Your comment...Love it you did awesome. Love your mods and help with the iron. Prior to filming a magnet stuck to the rear axle...and not to the hub...i should've second guest myself. Please always comment on videos like this i hope others read your comment so they will learn. I will follow your hose design...big help. I'm pretty set on a hydro chute. Thank so much for an awesome comment...please email more pics of your chute actuator. Stay safe
Don't believe there could be any questions after that presentation on wheel spacers. Great video.
Boy John thank you this video is long overdue and my viewers are patient I really tried to cover everything. Comments like yours mean so much to me thank you and stay safe.
Some good information brother thanks.
You're welcome have a great easter.
great video, wise words and good advice.
Abi thank you
Okay, I have to say it -you won me over to subscribe. Any man who carries a sidearm is my kinda guy! Aside from that, the info on wheel spaces is awesome as well. I'm looking for some that will fit my RK-21 as the wheels can't be swapped side-to-side. I've already put windshield -20 fluid in each rear tire. Great video!
Bill thank you for subscribing...i don't know everything don't hesitate to call me out i don't want to mislead anyone. This video was long over due. I've received many comments like yours. I enjoy wearing a sidearm...it's are right. Stay healthy and strong.
I put 6" Bora aluminum spacers on my rear and the stability is awesome now. I live on hill and nothing is level and I never felt safe, but I do now. I run turf tires and have no issues. In dirt or snow.
Absolutely...this tractor should come with the wide stance...other brands do. I'm sure your machine looks tuff with the spacers. Merry Christmas again
Congrats on coming close to the 1,000,000 views. I keep looking at tractors now, so I try to stop when I catch whatever you might be sharing, as well as the riding videos :-)
So many great tractors now, good luck you have a lot of research ahead of you. BTW if you need help just ask. Service is important, you know that from your builds and sponsors. You'll love a tractor...big tires...and they work in the mud sometimes...lol. Stay cool and keep having fun. Mutual support and respect!
@@maraudermitchelli I greatly appreciate it! Also, I am/have been looking at relocating slightly closer to your neck of the woods. Just put in an offer in Hastings NY, which if that is to go through, well...maybe one of these days I will have to make a stop in! I could definitely go for a "play-date" with some toys. Share some solid conversation, toy reviews, and laughs!
@@NorthCountryBoyz Awesome i have to look up Hasting New York...what do you do for a living where you an relocate?
@@maraudermitchelli Slightly outside of Syracuse N.Y. I do consulting work.
I loved this video. I have a JD 2320. I'm actually going to be buying some spacers because I have a JD 7100 2-row planter...and the tractor wheels pack the soil down tight at the same place/width as the opener blade on the planter. So, I want my tires (both front and back) wider than the planting trench so they don't pack the soil down before the planter opens up the soil trench for planting seeds. I do have some hilly terrain that I mow also (I mow about 6 acres) with my 72-inch finishing mower that pulls behind the tractor, so I'm sure that the spacers will also provide some extra stability there too. One negative comment I will make on the video is the video itself. Whoever is holding the camera was giving me motion-sickness. The panning from left to right was so fast that it was making me dizzy.
I'm holding the camera I'm sorry...the channel is me and my equipment i have no camera crew. I'll work harder on my camera skills btw i appreciate the constructive criticism. I'm glad this video will help you, that's why i have my channel, to help others and my get them interested in my hobbies for their own pursuits. Thank you and stay safe...i may need you help finding a planter someday.
I'll subscribe to anyone that says God bless. Wish I had your toys lol. I've been researching John deer and bobcat tractors for my next purchase. So far I'm leaning towards deer. Mainly due to visual ability of the front end attachments. In a bobcat I hear you literally can't see your bucket out of the cab like at all. That makes work harder so I'm back to deer. Keep up the good videos sir.
Thank Adam. There are so so many good tractors in the market. take your time. Kubota, Kioti are also very good. John Deere is probably the easiest to remove and install attachments. But sometime they can be stubborn. Dealer support and service is important as they will need repairs. Stay safe and let me know what you purchase.
I reversed my rears by swapping them side to side over a year ago. Sweet cheap upgrade. Gained 4”
On my tractor that only gained an inch maybe, my old open station it maybe added 6” it was great 👍
Great video! I’m going to order 4 inch aluminum spacers for my 3046R. Will let you know how I like them.
You love them, and thank you stay safe
subscribed... thank you, awesome video
Thank you Marshall, more tractor videos coming soon. Stay healthy.
Awesome job on the video I blew snow with my 2038R we had about 4 inches and it worked pretty good it didn’t seem off-center to me actually the tractor felt pretty good but great video I have a 60 inch drive over deck on mine I don’t think I could turn the tires
One thing I forgot to tell you is all my tires on my tractor are loaded even the front ones and the back
Thank you Dean, you early viewers made my night. Glad your tractor is kicking some snow! No snow yet in Buffalo...that won't last. Stay safe and thank you.
@@maraudermitchelli Thank you and you’re welcome hopefully you’ll get some snow out there in Buffalo and you’ll shoot another video because I enjoy watching them I am definitely enjoying my tractor
Great video, thanks
Thank you Wayne I hope this helped you.
Great video! 👍👍📹🚜🚜
Thank you, I hope it helped you. Stay safe
You can get a 90 degree adapter to put on end of hose then into quick coupler without replacing the whole hose , check with your dealer or someone that makes hoses might have something
Yes I know thank you 😊
I love you videos
Thank you Bob I enjoy making them and receiving supportive comments like yours.
Very good and thoroughly explained video. Thanks for posting. Do you return the front wheels to original position when using front loader?
No leave them at maximum width and they are awesome even when snowplowing. I'm glad this video helped you, thank you for supporting my channel.
Thanks for the helpful advice.
when you order new hydrolic hoses with 90 degree ends if they are custom making them up , make it clear with them which way they will be facing so you don,t have a bundled mess . my local dealer made me some hoses and i am very disapointed.
excellent comment i would've thought of that...huge thank you i will do that. We replace our hoses at a specialty hose shop they do great work. My great dealer may not be the best at hose either...but they are awesome. Thank you stay safe great comment i hope other read it.
I checked with my land pro dealer in savannah ny, they told me that wheel spacers were not available for my 3039r cab tractor. I ended up ordering 3” spacers from the Motorsport website. I have a 72” mower deck and there is no interference at all. The spacers made a huge difference with stability.
Don't they, what a shame it shouldn't be that hard. Filling the tires also helps a lot. BTW unless viewers own the tractor they just don't get how unstable it feels. Thank you stay safe.
i know it is quite off topic but does anybody know of a good website to watch newly released series online?
@Ryan Esteban I would suggest FlixZone. Just google for it =)
@Andrew Leonidas Yup, have been using FlixZone for years myself :D
@Andrew Leonidas thanks, signed up and it seems like they got a lot of movies there =) Appreciate it!!
So, when you swap ther rear tires around, are the valve stem now in the inside? Is there a way around it?
The rear tires are not swapped the fronts are and the stems are on the inside. You only gain an inch in width swapping the rears on this tractor 🙂
Great video. I have a 2025r. Looking to purchase a 3R series for snow blowing, brush hogging, tilling, and using a land plane. I’m looking at a 3033r but am wandering if it will be enough power. Did you tap in to that 46hp in your day to day use ?
DRO I had an open station 3033 which was a 33hp tractor with the same snow blower. It was very nice, but I must say the extra hp in the 4046R was nice when snow blowing and using the belly mower. I preferred the additional hp. Either would be a nice tractor. I hope this doesn't confuse but it's my honest answer.
@@maraudermitchelli thanks. I’m actually looking at a 3046r that will have a front skid steer snow blower. There is a custom made 3 point hitch hydro that runs off the rear pto. Not really sure of all the details. Doing some research. That machine is plumbed to the front loader and you can attach a skid steer snow blower. Chute runs off electric.
@@dryrunoutdoors My bobcat has a hydraulic snow blower 74hp.
Another great video. I'm partial to the green machines. Glad you are packing, Kimber?
Jerry nice to hear from you green is beautiful 🙂
Messicks kubota was talking about spacers on another video and he sujested letting dealer put them on before you get tractor so that should not be an issue with warrenty because he is the owner of 3 stores in penn.
Their videos are good, and that’s a good idea, that’s why I recommend buying the spacers from the dealer. Fully agree thank you stay safe 🙂
Pete, thanks. I recently subscribed to you...I have been searching for some insight to this exact option for my 2019 enclosed cab JD3039R.
My LandPro dealer told me that it would void any warranty by putting any spacers on my tractor. However, I feel extremely unsafe while using my tractor in any terrain or use. I know exactly what you are referring to, I thought it was just me. It is a very uneasy and strange feeling that it might tip over....
I was under the impression that if you use spacers, you need to duplicate them in the front. So if I get 6" spacers in the rear, I need 6" in the front as well? Can you confirm?
I do not use my tractor for any commercial, heavy construction or farming. I use it merely make my property work easier and enjoy having one.
The actual stress on my rear axles is one thing but 6" on the front might be?
Your thoughts?
I am also located very near you, so the weather is the same. But I use a rear mounted snowblower ..... that changes things.
Scott
Scott call Landpro in Alexander they sold me the spacers and sent me to look at 6" spacers on another machine. That upsets me that they told you that...i don't think the loader could be used without the spacers. Front...6" is big for the front, i would suggest you consider just flipping the rims and see how you like it. I don't think the front width had to match the rear, the factory doesn't doe it, and i don't either. For loader work rear ballast is a must, my tires have about 800 lbs of juice and sometimes i add the ballast box or box scraper on the rear. E-mail me some pics of your tractor working...love that. I hope this helps ask again if needed. thank you
@@maraudermitchelli Thanks Pete, I may call the Alexander dealer. I think I will do the beet juice option as well and maybe try going 4-5" or so on the rear axles. ? Your site has been helpful and I appreciate the videos.
This is my 3rd tractor. I had a 2000 open cab JD4200, a 2014 cab JD3033R and now my cab 3039R. I may reach out to you again with more questions and opinions, if you dont mind?
Scott
The front axle is on a pivot, so spacers on the front don’t really do much for stability. Only if the the rear tire lifted up and front axle pivoted to where it hit the stops, would front axle width matter. (Remember when tractor’s had narrow front tires, almost like a tricycle? ) I wouldn’t (edit) widen front tires if you have a drive over mower that you can no longer drive over. p.s. Sometimes there are traction advantages to not having front and rear tires in the same track ripping up the same ground.
@@CobyRupert you are correct except tractors with narrow front tires didn’t use loaders or they were little shovel loaders. I’ve lifted my rear tires even with spacers and juice filled, spacer on the front help when the tractors front suspension is maxed at tilt. I like a wider front and I believe jd has narrow front tire spacer for mid mower and other front attachments. My opinion wider is better Stay healthy 🙂
If you ever need some tips on welding I know how to do that very well like I mentioned to you I do a lot of small engine repair and I work on tractors I can help you with that if needed I wanted to let you know love your video it’s great I enjoy watching them
Thank you Dean, that's very nice of you. So many things happening in my life...welder put on short hold. Stay safe
@@maraudermitchelli I understand but I just wanted to let you know if you need anything or any help with that you have my number now you can just contact me for great videos today awesome job I love watching them
Excellent and informative video. Like the cameo appearance of your carry gun. What's the make? Looks like a pretty nice 1911.
Thank you Roy. The pistol is a SIG 1911 Compact, they may have discontinued this pistol, or call it a fastback. The pistol is not in my book, my Walther PPK, Glock 27, Glock 22 and Remington 870 express shotgun are in the book. Cover is not total accurate to the book. In the book my character has his Walther PPK when he is at the Grain Elevator. My wife took that picture of my in my shop, the cover designer slimmed me and added more hair...yes that's me. I was a law enforcement firearms instructor for the Sheriff's reserves for 19 years. I decided i should show my pistols in my videos and viewers like you may be interested. The Sig is a great pistol, I copied my holster maker's who passed who owned this pistol...he sent Sig executives a picture of my pistol and his holster. I'm really happy you get it stay safe.
I live in NH where the Sig factory is located.and own a 220 and 225. Just ordered your book and looking forward to reading it. Didn't know about your firearms background but would like to see some videos. I think UA-cam may frown on those types of videos though.
@@royjones59344 Yes i agree UA-cam frowns on gun videos. For now i'll wear them, in the future there may be some shooting on our hunting property nothing too out of the norm. I'm honored you purchased my book, very kind of you. The characters are myself and my family...my character is much more interesting than me. Please let me know how you like it. Your pistols are awesome...although Sig doesn't make a bad product. stay safe
Why did you chose 3046 vs 3039? Did the 3046 cab have heat and a/c
Yes both have heat and ac. I wanted the additional horse power and the dealer had a 3046R coming and gave me a great price. Both are great tractors.
What was your front width when you flipped the front tires ?
I think I gained 3” a side on the flip and they just under 58”....52”. That sounds right 🙂
@@maraudermitchelli great! Thank you!
You’re the best 👍
Dean have a great weekend
@@maraudermitchelli hi Peter, do you have a great weekend as well? I’m starting to feel better going back to work on Monday just watching some of the old tractor videos. They are great to watch.👍
@@deanmoore420 I'm glad Dean I said a prayer for you. We're lucky
@@maraudermitchelli thank you Peter. I really appreciate it when you’re feeling sick I’m the same way I always pray for you and your family. I always will. That means so much to me. When I was down, I was looking at some of the old videos that you posted when you mention my name that brought my spirits right back up. Thank you my friend.
@@maraudermitchelli hi Peter, I forgot to tell you might be using my blower they’re predicting a snow storm for up here Sunday afternoon supposed to go through the night and I wanted to mention I bought myself heated gloves man do they work good I forgot to tell you I learn a lot by watching your videos. You’re a great man you always will be👍
Messicks kubota put out a video about wheel spacers not long ago and he sujusted letting dealer put them on before you take delivery ,so their should not be an issue with warrenty because Neil is the owner of 3 stores in Penn.
Yes I agree some how your comment got repeated.
I typed the first one and hit send an then it dissapered,dont know what happened
@@jokinjoe9447 I’ve done that, you can edit a comment after you send it. I just discovered that it’s in the reply menu. 🙂
Pistol comment: Why isn't it cocked & locked with one in the pipe?
I must have been wearing my Sig...if i don't have time to chamber around i'm done in. I'll take that risk in my garage. It should be right...stay strong and carry
Filled the tires with jiuce? New guy here
there's a technical term but it's beet juice it does not rust your rims. It's very popular in our area. Be safe thank you for commenting.
Open carry is the way to go. But I'm shocked your in Ny herd a lot of horror stories about NY and firearms. I'm from PA lol good info I'm looking at getting the 3039R herd on the 4 series you cant get the mid PTO on that series
No mid pro on a 4 series is correct, they were around for one year along time ago. I have a permit to carry a pistol, and was a reserve Sheriff for 20 years. Thank you
@@maraudermitchelli congratulations on your retirement and your public service. Is there much difference between the 3039r and th me 3046r?
imo the ideal small acreage tractor would be a 4066r 'if' they'd put a mid mount mower on it.
Chris i thought it use to have a midmount mower. Believe me i like that tractor, but it won't fit in my garage, i can't add a front mount snow blower...for now the 3046R is the perfect tractor. Ugh the 4066 is sweet. Stay safe and thank you for watching.
@@maraudermitchelli i could lean toward the 3046r if theyd come up with a msl loader for it. i'd prefer to have the msl loader than a mid p.t.o.
@@Chris_L034 do you mean a self leveling loader? if so the 3 series now has a self leveling loading available...i would like that. If i'm wrong please explain.
@@maraudermitchelli i wasnt aware they had one thats cool.
@@Chris_L034 I spoke to my salesman several weeks ago, I believe all John Deere compact tractors including the 1025r have self leveling loaders. I hope this helps you.
Firearms display redundancy!
I hope not
You need a bigger garage
I do need a bigger garage...
