    No drinks for me a week ago I survived a heart attack that less than 2 % of people survive and I am now in a good place. I guess according to the other poster I will just drop this site off my list

    HST Whine.....Gone.......!

    I had a bad whine on mine when I got it and is a gear tran. I got rid of it by tightened the blots down where the ROP folds.. Question for those who has traded it tractors who looked to see if the ROP was full or not

    OK I will give you some advice again. Send it back to avoid problems in the future and go get a Deere. They make good equit. I have had 2 of their dozers and one excatvator plus many tractor over my lifetime. What you are getting from your dealer now is called lip service. He figures if he...

    Tractor Purchase Not Working Out, Getting Stressed

    I don't think I would trust this dealer to far. The way the deal started and now this. If they had that tractor intheir shop and work was done on it and no one said anything about what you found. What does that say about their service people. It seems if there was some of this model on other...

    Tractor Purchase Not Working Out, Getting Stressed

    When that dealer started jacking yo around right at first I would have been checking with people that bought tractors from them on the type of service they got. My tractor will be 5 years old in Sept has always been kept inside and as far as I can see very little rust on it. When I bought mine...

    Tractor Purchase Not Working Out, Getting Stressed

    After the second week I would have left that dealer. Now you have this and as bad as it is no way would I accept this tractor. Just think if it is this bad now what will the future service be like

    Do, or Do not Deflate?

    I would not deflate them. Are they loaded. I have R4 on my L 3301 and we have on the average 2 to 3 foot of snow on the ground and I have no problem. They do not grip good on ice but they work and it is easier than a shovel

    L2501, slopes, and sanity-check

    The reason I got the R 4 was for the extra width it gave the trac and the sidewalls are thicker. I use my loader all the time and for this they are great. I was told by the dealer they won't puncture as easy as the R 1's. I have pulled 3000 lbs of fertilizer and spreader up he slope I told about...

    I never learn...

    On the one I had the bolts that are where the tran and engine connect would not stay tight. I heli coiled them and then lock tightened them so they stayed put. I had a 420. I used it for several years and then traded it in on A JD 350. What a difference that was. They are fun to plow snow with...

    L2501, slopes, and sanity-check

    I have an L 3301 DT and I use it on slopes one slope is like yours. I have R 4 tires and the only time I lost any traction was in loose sand. My tires are weighted. The biggest problem I have with the R 4 tires is if you get the slightest bit sideways on the slope they will start sliding...
