    How to remove linchpin from 3 point lift arms

    Thank you, Russell. Think I harmed anything running it this way?

    How to remove linchpin from 3 point lift arms

    Oh shush, I might be new to this, but not THAT new ;) . I got it out this morning, finally. Used a punch in the loop of the pin and a hammer. That didn't actually work, but it broke the loop, then I could use vice grips to get each half out on its own. Now that it's morning here I can actually...

    Ah, "cotter pin" gave me the google juice I needed, I have renewed confidence now!

    How to remove linchpin from 3 point lift arms

    That's true, and the top is very easy to remove. I still ultimately need to get the pin out from the bottom, though! Maybe better access is all I need, I'll keep trying, thank you.

    How to remove linchpin from 3 point lift arms

    I recently got a B2650. Love it with all my heart. When it arrived I could tell there was something off about the right 3pt lift arm-- it always wanted to be at an odd angle. It's been working more or less fine, but I finally realized what the problem was tonight. Of course, I realized it after...

    Wait for a 2020 B2601 or get a 2019 B2650?

    Is there a reason you went 54 as opposed to 60? I've read the same, I'll investigate that further, thank you.

    Wait for a 2020 B2601 or get a 2019 B2650?

    Ha! My thinking on that was that I live in a place where I can dig a hole deep enough to install a frost-free hydrant and find a single stone about the size of my thumb. I figured the reverse would just make quicker work of it, but I'd be happy to be re-educated. I definitely won't pretend to be...

    Wait for a 2020 B2601 or get a 2019 B2650?

    Thank you! Haha, I got a few implements to start out with. I needed a brush mower and a tiller, so I got a Land Pride RCR1260 and RTR1258 respectively. I certainly got SSQA, and I was thinking about a grapple indeed, but I don't have the capital to swing a a third function at the moment, much...

    Wait for a 2020 B2601 or get a 2019 B2650?

    Thank you all, you definitely put my mind at ease on all my concerns. I pulled the trigger on the B2650 this morning. Note that I'm not planning on mowing my lawn with this (I'm not even getting a belly mower). I have a separate, much smaller mower that I'll use for my lawn. My only concern was...

    Wait for a 2020 B2601 or get a 2019 B2650?

    I have ten acres to take care of. A good amount of tilling and brush mowing and shoving branches into piles for burning. My strategy is to get the largest amount of horsepower in a body that won't obliterate my lawn (since I'll be needing to drive over it pretty often). The B2601 seemed to fit...
