Just took delivery of a B2650 TLB today! Very excited!
I've run TLBs before, and the delivery guy was fantastic answering my new owner questions. Forgot to ask one thing, though:
Where should the 3-point lift arms be set when I'm not using them, such as when the backhoe is on? All the way up? Floated? In the middle?
Also, should the valve be closed? All the way open?
Lastly, is the answer different when the 3-point arms are removed for the backhoe vs. when they are on but I'm just not using the 3-point? Should I park the tractor with them up/down and then switch positions when I operate the tractor?
I'm guessing it probably doesn't matter, but I'm trying to establish a solid "operators routine" (things like always lowering the bucket to the ground and setting the parking brake when I get off) right out of the gate and am wondering if this needs to be incorporated. Thanks.
