Re: Tractor Vibration after chipper jammed/ the Cure? NI Wolfman, thanks for the ideas and thoughts. Sorry but I have been away. I did everything you suggested pretty much before I did the first post. This is what I found today. Mid pot drive shaft collar had slipped back slightly maybe from...

MagKarl thx for the response. The vibration is worse when front blower is running but really only at certain speeds. I cannot see or feel or make anything move that might be loose. Do you know if the quick but not abrupt engine stoppage could throw the pump timing off?

This is not another typical B3200 vibration issue, I promise! My B3200 ran smooth until the chipper jammed and stalled the engine twice this past late fall. Vibration is not bad but very noticeable from that way it was. Its most noticeable when the front blower is on, so it almost seems like a...

Steve A I have the same exact problem on my B3200. Was the Hydro pedal switch OK and the pedal just needed to be moved to reset it or did you have to replace the pedal switch to get this solved? John

Skeets, thanks for the reply. Turns out that everyone I have spoken to believes as you do that these chains are gona outlast all of us. Being new to the tractor world, I was concerned by how much rust was on my chains after just one use. But it seems that with a little rinsing and intelligent...

Whats the word on chain corrosion from mag ice melt on my ringed logging chains. I rinse the chains with a high pressure warm water hose after every application, but driving back to the barn gets the chains somewhat re-coated a bit with the magnesium. I only apply this stuff 6-7 times per year...

Dusty-t, Thanks for the info. I am new to OTT and appreciate any input. I believe that I will go with about 3-4 inch shoes as I hope that this size will keep me up off the gravel when its soft and wont provide so much float that I ride up on top of the wet heavy snow. I have a 1500" well...

Eric, So do you know if the rated capacity of 500LB for a rotary cutter is specific to the cutter for balance reasons? The 3 pt hitch is actually rated to lift 1365 lb so I don't think lifting the BB60X is Kubota's concern and yes I do have a 504 loader and love it and the BB60X, only 18 hrs.

Can someone comment on how wide I should make my snow blower skids so that they I don't suck gravel. Not how high to set them but how wide to have them made. I was thinking something like 4". Thoughts? Experience with this?

Is the rated capacity of the B3200 3 pt hitch (500Lbs for a rotary cutter) cast in stone. I have been sold a Woods BB60 X Brushbull from a Kubota dealer and just discovered that it weighs more like 550-600 Lbs. I know that there is a safety factor built into the rated spec, but can anyone...
