You shouldn't be stuck with the 48" if you haven't taken delivery. If my dealer took that line, I'd just walk away from the whole deal and find a new dealer.

Recommend you check out a youtube video or two before diving into the 50hr service. A few different tricks to changing the Hydraulic and HST filters that will save you some trouble along with a significant amount of hydraulic fluid if you do it right.

What did you use to compact the gravel?

What part of WA are you in?

Thank you for the real world comparison. I'm planning relatively light projects so I went ahead and ordered the 1672 last week. Have to check out the top and tilt but I don't have rear remotes or third function so that's entirely another project to add to my list. Here's to hoping I don't...

Thank you. That's a good point about the heavier blades marking up concrete. I hadn't considered anything bigger than a 72" because I want to be able to reverse the blade without disconnecting. Main uses will be light snow removal, crowning a gravel driveway, and maybe creating a shallow...

I did read the specs. Just wondering if anyone with a B2650 has experience with both. The RB2672 is substantially bigger as well. Just curious if it's too big for a B2650. No dealers around here have them in stock so I'd be ordering blind.

I'm shopping for a rear blade for my B2650 and am having a little trouble deciding. I want one that is reversible and has tilt. What are the advantages of an RB2672 over a RB1672 other than the additional weight? Anyone using one with a B2650?

Shooting down everyone's advice saying "No it doesn't work that way..." Here's something that will absolutely work. Install a Piranha Toothbar on the bucket. Ease up to the bumper (front or rear doesn't matter), scoop the toothbar as far as possible under the bumper, lift and pull it out...

If the rear axle of an ATV comes off the ground, will it immediately roll over on top of the rider? Not unless it's a vintage 3 wheeler. If your BX23S had front suspension, I might agree with you but the fact you haven't rolled it "yet" is a fool's reason to remove the ROPS. All it takes is...

Well after reading every post in both threads, I think you should write-off a tractor purchase and invest that cash in a life coach who can help you with your decision making skills. Yes, I decided on a B2650 after thoroughly researching the BX, L, and JD's equivalents. That research took me...

If you're clearing an area that's never been mowed, float your FEL with the bucket pointed up. This will alert you to most of the obstacles that will be an issue with your brush hog. I've found a few rocks and stumps this way.

The purpose of a relay is to prevent the full load amperage from passing through the switch. Your accessory (light) switch closes the relay which then passes power from the battery directly to the load (lightbar). You can wire the switch from the ignition circuit or any other keyed circuit to...

Here's a good thread with several ideas: http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=15719&highlight=chainsaw+mount

Gotcha. Mine is 117" from the front of the brush guard/bumper to the 3pt. 111.5" if you remove the brush guard/bumper.

It's listed in post #5 of this thread. 155" from front of bucket to 3 pt according to that post.

I may regret writing this but I was in exactly the same situation and I decided to go with a dedicated lawn machine. My lawn does have a sloped section so I decided against a ZT mower and picked up a JD X350 with a 48" mulching deck. I love it and it does an amazing job on our lawn. Never...

If you don't drive around with the mower raised high, counter weight shouldn't be a factor for you. You can always just lift the front off the ground and let the wheel drag the ground. That being said, I put my FEL about 2" off the ground and tilted up as a safety measure to find any rocks...

True, and a great point. I had one almost wear through on a 20 mile drive home with a new lawn tractor. Now I use plastic strap protectors that go over the edges of the box blade or any other implements to protect the straps from wear. I think I picked them up at Home Depot for a couple...

I'd put the tiller in the bed on a sheet of plywood. Then put the box blade, back end forward, on the nose of the trailer. Place a 2x6 across the top of the box blade, tip your bucket down, and rest it on the 2x6 with the mower on your 3 point. If you have extra room on the trailer you...
