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...

Naaa, I love her, but she is an expensive mistress... She loves long haul trips and those just come few and far between for me. I miss out on a lot of screw around flying. The plane I should have kept was my 1947 Cessna 140... The fast heavy hauler is cool, but I'll log more hours if I can...

Yawl making me want one… guess we’ll see what I get out of the Mooney… The airplane market seems to have softened… but man those look handy and fun, and not everyone has one! I still want one but don’t want to rule ones out that don’t have it… but we’ll see. there’s a b7800 with one not far...

thanks! I may very well go b2650 as I’m very open to used. I’m leaning that way maybe, but I’m still unsure the b2601 wasn’t plenty… however I’m having a hard time finding a solid reason to not go with the 2650 instead… I’ll have to take a look at that cab! Thank you. I am very very handy-...

how is the cab with the doors off and rear window out? Part of the year I’d like to be as open air as possible. MI isn’t Alaska- but I’d still rather not eat snow spray while blowing :) I’m just undecided if I want a cab to deal with all the time or bundle up. I mean I am only planning on...

Okay, question for all as we discuss the b2601 vs the 50/lx: In the used market, if I can find ones that are similar priced enough that the price point isn't the deciding factor, why would I choose the b2601 over the b2650 or lx2610? Curiosity question-not a challenge to anyone...
