Welcome to OTT. Digging speed, and the perception of digging force, is related to RPM's. If you are following break in protocol, you shouldn't run the engine greater than 75% of max and not for extended periods until about the 50 hr mark. What type of soil are you planting trees in?

Spread 23 tons of 2B modified in my driveway. Coating thickness is about 2" or so. The BX25 did a great job. Took about 3hrs.

Sesms like a good place to start... I'm not smarter but I may be better lookin' lol Dave, how long after you shut it off does it have to sit before it will crank? (Just thinking about the mass that has to cool down or moderate).

I have seen both Cub and Deere low end and high end models. For example if you go to Lowes you will see 18 - 24 hp Deere models for $2,000 to $2,500 and if you go to Tractor Supply you will see the same scenario with Cubs. Now, if you go to a Cub or Deere dealer you will pay $5,000 to $6,000 for...

This description/procedure should be included in the operators manual. A wealth of great advice!

I'm with ya on spring... I hate to whine but this crap is really getting old. However, long range forecast says two more cold dips over the next two weeks then it will begin to moderate, at least here in central PA. I think you folks in Maine are gonna be stuck in the polar vortex for a while...

You need to call Habeeb at HP... hahahahaha. Actually what are you using for your web browser? IE Explorer?

Ha, you gotta be Irish! Maybe we can catch a nectar of the Gods some time in the Burgh.

Ditto......

Skeets, that's the way I would stop drinking, if I were to stop drinking. BTW, did you have some spare time on your hands today?

Can you say... dominos, haha.

Whew, I thought you were gonna go somewhere else with "gas under your seat". lol Thanks for the insight skeets!

Agree with Wolfman's assessment. And, I'm not sure if there is a screen filter on the B20 hydraulic system but you may want to check for one and clean it while the fluid is out of the system. Couldn't agree more on using Kubota UDT fluid too. There is a difference. For future reference, how...

Thanks for following up. So, I take it you never have attached anything to the 3-pt hitch before...

Welcome to OTT. By bogging down do you mean the engine rpm's drop or the forward motion is degraded? What do you mean by bottoming out the valve? And, when you say doubles the power, what is doubled? Engine rpm's, forward motion, etc. Going up a hill, is the FEL just in a raised position and...
