Changing either changes the initial attack angle of the boxblade, which affects the adjustable top link position to level the box front/back. It will also change a bit how the blade responds to up/down adjustments of the lift arms. If you've time to play with it the the results will become...

Sounds like you've got the right tractor for your job!

Wear the seat belt. Keep going. My smaller and lighter B2650 has multiple times had the loader dead stopped by a boulder or stump while pushing along at a decent low gear clip. It bounces the front of the tractor off the ground against the hydraulics and the tranny hisses and roars for a second...

The T6 "diesel engine additives" are ok on small gas engines? No harm?

With my B2650HSD, engage the parking brake, shift the transmission to neutral, and then you can activate the rear PTO while off the seat. From my manual: "Stationary PTO To park the tractor and use the PTO system (for chipper or pump, for example), start the PTO system in the following steps...

My BB1560 is the right weight, width, and capacity for my B2650. I'd say you'd do better with the 15 series.

If your chipper has a hydraulic powered spring loaded pinch roller like my Woodland Mills WC68, may I suggest having a look at the condition of the pinch roller's "teeth" sharpness. Mine started misbehaving like this after 3 - 4 seasons of chipping since new. From an older OTT thread reply of...

No. Don't do it. Your tractor's pulling power can and will damage the backhoe's hydraulics and frame. Catching one stump while dragging and huge torque on the hoe. In that situation slowly moving a log with the bh77/thumb means, to me at least, operating it as a backhoe and planting the...

I agree here with Hokie, the first "section" of my B2650 dump lever "free dumps" until the lever hits the indent, then the bucket stops up until the indent is overcome. Past the indent the bucket goes into "controlled dump" mode with full control of position and power of dumping. So with it in...

If you steer hard left or right to the limit of the wheels stops, and maintain steering wheel pressure against the stop, the hydraulic steering cylinder has an over-pressure release valve in its circuit that allows the steering wheel to continue rotating past the initial stop, which changes the...

Yes.

$10k for a compact TLB sporting really low hours? That's a really good deal! Hopefully the 50 hour and 200 hour services at least were done! And I'd give it the 400 hour service right away. Then just spread out the 70 hour difference between the subsequent 3 or 4 service intervals - stretch them...

I've used Shell Rotella T6 5w-40 for years. It meets Kubota spec and runs great for my often very cold start usage.

Love my WC68 on the B2650! 19HP pto does the job.

Hey there, CA member! You get same-ish winter weather as us. I've just adjusted that chain at its tightest pass to be within play spec, with just a litle play there, and I've not had an issue for about 4 years with it either getting sloppy or the shaft lock screws needing re-tightening, and...
