I take my 60" Woods M5-4 "bush hog" rotary mower at least once a year into the bush/forest logging trail loop we cleared 5 years ago. Having the forks on the front while mowing are handy for clearing the inevitable dead-fall in the mature forest. That ancient mower can handle pretty severe abuse...

I beg to differ on the "essential" part, as my experience, with pto driven hole diggers anyway, is the tractor's movement front/back adjusts the digger's vertical alignment. All that's needed for up/down motion with the loader boom, and a small adjustment with the tractor front/back position for...

Your post got me looking for one for my B2650HSD, and looks like the SA20 model hydraulic diggers have options for Quick Attach loader mount units, with hoses that connect to the loader bucket valve outlets. I.e. no need for a 3rd function and much greater height adjustment ability than 3-point...

I'd have my BH77 backhoe hooked up and be on that job with it first. Operator experience finesse is required to cut and shape shallow trenches off to the side like that. Before reading your couldn't straddle the excavation area my first thought was to use a moldboard plow, then shape with a...

I use Lucas X-Tra Heavy Duty grease, a polyurea based grease, and it doesn't thicken as much in very cold situations. I can al;ways hand gun it all winter without any pre-warming.

Tighten (shorten) that top link to get the box level. Then adjust the 3-point lever height stop to where the boxblade won't rise high enough to touch the tail lights. My B2650HSD has a screw tightened block built into the 3-point lever slot for lowering limiting, maybe one could be put above the...

That reminds me....

I just affix a poly sheet to the radiator bug screen, with a 6"x6" hole in the center. DIY.

What I do is look for any play between the shaft and the pto input and the small reduction gear. I push a small screwdriver through a small opening that the small gear and chain can be seen through, and hold the sprocket/chain still while twisting back and forth the intput PTO u-joint and...

I have the same blower that's run 8 winters now, and a couple of things to watch for: - the PTO input shaft #040 in BAP's diagram supports a series of mechanical connections that get hammered running at 2500rpm driving the reduction chain. ALL the setscrews on mine needed tightening, and the...

You're working less area than me, and my B2650HSD (LX2610 equiv) has performed great so far in 8 years of (ab)use here. 1300 hours, about 200 hours per year. I use it all over our 119 acres, mainly forested. Get a 3-point rotary mower for the tractor, and a separate smaller riding mower for yard...

My B2650HSD with B2782B blower, and B2714C quick hitch, subframe, and drivelines. I have to fish that blower out of the shed crowded with firewood by tomorrow afternoon. An Alberta clipper arrives shortly today for the first dump this year needing the blower. Then standing by for the next bigger...

It's B2782B. Not B2782. Anyway, photos shortly.

*sigh* ok I'll go snap a few photos of the un-attached blower and subframe in the hoop shed. I give up trying to ID them online, and all the manuals are out there too. Will be settled shortly.

B2762 Mid PTO Kit. There's sub-part #s for the subframe, drivelines, male quick hitch.
