Do you need a backhoe? The B26 is basically a small, commercial spec backhoe. The LX2620 is a tractor spec machine. It can take an optional backhoe, but is more geared towards 3pt hitch and loader work.

4 in 1 bucket is heavier and tends to be more rugged than a standard bucket. They are great for grabbing and moving objects as they appear when you are digging and leveling material, things like bigger rocks, sticks, logs etc. They also are great when loading over something high sided because...

What hydraulic oil are you running? SUDT or SUDT2? The SUDT2 runs quieter than SUDT. There still will be whine but not as bad. My B2920 runs with less whine with the SUDT2 than with the SUDT that originally came in it.

Maybe it has to do with you not being in the USA.

Does it have 2 piece rims? If so did you check the bolts holding the 2 pieces together, not just the lug nuts? Also, on the 2 piece rims, it is Not uncommon for the hoop that the bolt goes through on the outer part of the rim to break away from the rim or crack the weld.

Mine lives on a gravel pad most of the year. I put wood 2x under it and it’s fine.

So why are you on here asking questions if you don’t want to listen to the answers because your dealer is smarter than everyone else? Have you thought about the fact that your tractor was perfectly able to stay cool when new with cooling equipment it came with from the factory? If it had needed...

It’s the website telling you that you need to open your wallet and become a lifetime member and help support the costs of running the website.

Have you checked with Nash Equipment in Colebrook? They mostly salvage logging and industrial equipment but also from time to time have tractors in for salvage.

What kind of happy pills are you on? They don’t give loaner tractors while yours is being repaired, if they did they would have a bunch of used tractors instead of new to sell and No reimbursement from the manufacturer for the loss in value and cost of insurance to lend them out.

Icehorse, are you trying to remove them in order to grease the ujoint? If that’s the only reason you are removing it, then do what we have done for the last 45 years and take an Utility Knife and enlarge the hole for greasing to make it easier to grease the ujoint. That way you still have the...

If you google it, there is a couple of YouTube videos about instruction.

I got 13 years on my original battery with No maintainers. So no extra expense of buying a maintainer, buying electricity and hoping to an extra year out of the battery. It was not dead when I replaced it, but when it started turning cold, it was slower to start and I didn’t want it to not start...

Not necessarily, used to be recommended to run the front tires in the “backwards” position when running a loader on the tractor for better traction backing up in tough loading conditions. Also, some people have found that the front tires wear better in the backward position.

If you have made it 21 years on those tires doing what you do with your tractor, then I wouldn’t worry about putting on anything different when you replace them. Go with the heaviest ply tire you can get. If you change to R-4 tires like everyone is pushing, you will need to buy 4 new tires and 4...
