Those are some good points! Yea that would be a better setup for a splitter. If I do that, actually what I would do, and I've shared this with many- if you have an engine that gets infrequent use or stored for a season, and it has a carb, go to your local airport and buy AVGas. It's 100...

I just want to thank all of you who helped me pick out the right model. The 2601 is the perfect fit for my place. I'm glad I didn't go even a step bigger, seeing the tasks ahead I'm glad she's not any smaller an has the ground clearance she does and 3 ranges. I live in Medium as all said, I...

Well if I were to keep true to story wouldn't it be I tried one bigger and one smaller? Wasn't it one borage was too hot and one too cold? :) Well not quite.. I wasn't able to test run rigs. But endless hours researching and talking with folks on here I went for it thinking it sounded right-...

Yea the website is horrible. The products Aren't all that great. But for some things it works well. The Ballast box I got for $150, the branded ones are what 3-4x that. its a metal 800lbs of cement is 800lbs of cement. But yes not a great site for most things frankly. But for some stuff...

Well these are over a few days- but it’s my first spring with her! The 2601 is proving to be the Goldie locks size for the property. I’m really happy with it. cleared some brush with my Temu Garvee rake- It did pretty well for $130 rake! lol. It goes in the hitch of the ballast box so it can...

Wow! One of the few people that gets what happens in a preheated engine that doesn't get used! I mean that sincerely, so few get that. That is why my policy was with the bird if I plugged it in and had to scrub the flight, it stayed plugged in until it could be flown next as the heating and...

I wouldn't run any all the time, you are correct it's not wise. I never did on the airplane either. Some folks would plug em in, in November and unplug them in April. That caused problems they never thought of, and made their engines more subject to corrosion. I always would stop on my way...

I did rinse it very well, but I will do so again once weather breaks as the definition of "rinse well" on Feb 1 may be a far different definition than April 10th when its 60 out... I'll rewash in detail and rinse for an absurd time while poking around-not just standing back. I may have...

Thanks! I'm excited. I've been a country type guy who's lived in town my whole life, feels good to have a few acres to myself and a tractor to take care of it with. :). I very much, at least intend for this to be the only one I ever buy unless I need an additional ever down the road... So I...

I washed it in the snow! lol. Yup, scrub brush, bucket of of hot soapy water and a hose... Have a lost my mind? Am I just an overly excited new tractor owner? Both may be true... BUT it just arrived to me last week, and spent 7 hours on a trailer between Central Wisconsin and Central...

It has arrived!!! Mower comes off tonight, but I had to take her for a spin :). Man can she eat some snow! I put her into a snow plow pile left from the plow and it didn't flinch... Just flung that Shtuff 30 ft or better. I'm a happy boy... Thanks for the help getting here :) Ray

That’s a great story… thank you for sharing, that makes me all the more confident in my choice.. It makes all the sense in the world now, once I realized (not sure why it took so long-lol) that I wasn’t shopping for my commercial operation needing max efficiency for profitability. In fact one...

Absolutely will do! I'm hoping sometime next week. It is coming from a couple states away. Transporting larger "things" is one of the few spots in life I feel is very reasonable in cost... This will be my second time doing so, both times I could not have driven and got the thing for what...

That is so well put... I beleive the same thing you do and operate as such, frankly it's about the only logically correct conclusion. So the wise answer really is dependent on the person and personal finances. I agree, if I can afford to replace it- I typically don't insure it, as you are...

I have joined the Brother and Sisterhood of the Orange Tractor... We made the move, its beutiful, living in town my whole life I wept as a grown man when we moved in, space, peace, beauty...My kids, wife and I went sledding on our hill the night we moved it, it's perfect. But I'm lucky I have...
