wish they would of done that for mine. I ended up with a b 2650, which hasn't had a trip to the shop for any engine repairs. it's like a turtle compared to the b3350. the a/c worked great on the 3350. can't say much for the 2650's a/c, it barely cools the cab... been in the shop a couple times...

my 2650 can pull a 16" single. struggles if too deep in clay or hard dirt. i have sandy soil and i can adjust it down to 5-5.5 before it starts pulling hard in low range. all the way down i'm only using partial speed on the hydraulic speed control. if i'm only down to number four on the depth...

my L3200 had the same thing happen. after about 20 hrs of use after the drain plug issue the main bearings started knocking.. requiring a engine rebuild. fix the engine before it gives out or it will cost you more... after the repairs they let me know that the copper/brass washer on the drain...

I ran mine at full rpm... still had all sorts of regeneration issues. dealt with it for a year, before buy back. out of the year I had a total of 42 days of use... I averaged over 80 hrs a month with the L3300 I traded in. my 2650 averages about 50 as most of the work is finally getting...

i used to get a worker to insert the trees while i used a plow attachment to roll the dirt apart. but have the plow adjusted, so the dirt would fall back in place as the tractor moved forward. assistant just inserted the trees in the split, before the ground fell back. when returning for the...

my b2650 owners and service manuals. specify 10-30, 30 or 15-40 oil specified for diesel engines. i use synthetic motor oil.

i've have cab cooling issues from day of delivery. the local dealership has never found the reason. (part of the problem is that i didn't verify that the a/c issue was on the customer receipt, during the warranty period)... now the a/c is actually getting fixed at my cost. the repair shop...

another issue that hasn't been addressed. thermal expansion. the muffler and exhaust pipes, expand with heat. having the exhaust system solid mounted. puts stress on the weak points. so if your repairing the exhaust, i would suggest modifying the mounts to allow for the vibration and thermal...

i drained some diesel fuel from a simi's tanks, a friend bought the tanks but couldn't remove them as they were almost full. the truck had been sitting for years.. i used a house filter to strain the fuel before i used it in my pickup. worked great.. it was cleaner than a lot of fuel i bought...

i have the factory grill guard, i can verify that it is in need of modification. as i have a good sized split in my grill. due to a stick punching a hole in it... my plans are to spend some time this week and weld some expanded steel to the front of the grill guard. yes it will make opening the...

the b2650's with a cab have a issue of low air flow for the condenser and radiator, due to the oem battery blocking most of the air flow.. the battery is mounted such to make it a challenge cleaning off the condenser and radiator. during mid and late summer, the a/c was barely keeping the cab...

i have the same issue of being sun sensitive. i had a tint film put on all the glass before my tractor was delivered... it helps a lot. in hot climates the tinting usually helps the cab stay cooler.... (if your a/c works like it should).

i have a b2650 with a cab... the heater works great, the a/c has never performed properly, it has been serviced and checked by the local dealer, while it was on warranty. i previously had a b3350, it's a/c worked great... the b3350 had it's own issues of being a repair shop queen, (regen...

as a owner of a 2008 dodge 6.7 and a b3350. i can say with experience. the automotive industry spends a lot more to get things right. i ran the b3350 at full throttle, except for starting and shutdown. it was in the shop more than in my yard... out of a year i used it less than two months on the...

they make little locator tags, that you can find your equipment if stolen. you only need to replace them every other year. hopefully someone will come out with one with a replaceable battery or motion charging system someday. hide the tag anywhere on the tractor. it uses any cell tower or smart...
