That being said, I wanted to reach out to see if the following makes sense with regard to locating utilities around the pool. Here are my thoughts (feel free to add/be critical) 1. Running 1- 1/4" Gas line for the...

    B2601 No ACC Power, No Start

    Had a similar issue on my 2601; frustrated the heck out of me for a week. Bought a new controller board- not the problem and dealer would not honor a return (not cheap). I thought I checked all fuses, but the one that I thought was fine was a 5-amp that controlled the dash lights and for some...

    2013 B2650 cab HST with suspected speed control safety switch problem.

    Had a similar problem; I believe that fuse also traces back to the accessory cluster (under rear fender). I couldn't find the issue after removing dash, seat, and inspecting all safety switches. Also- it would prevent the tractor from starting.....2015 B2601. Pulled the fuse and all was good.

    The beast died...

    Any blown fuses? Does the fuel solenoid activate when you turn the key? Perhaps take off starter and examine the relay/solenoid system?

    B2601 200hr service

    Just performed my first 200 hr. service in the B. After topping off all fluids and respective filter changes I started it up. Was a bit surprised at the amount of initial black smoke and all I can explain a”chugging” sound for about 3-4 seconds. Ran normal, brought to operating temp and shes...

    B2620 vs. B2601

    I was proud owner of a new B2620 in 2014; in 2015 tractor meets truck; truck totals B2620. Took receipt of me B2601; a few highlights: Power seems the same, however, it appears to be quieter Love the SSQA set up; B2620 was pin on; welcome to the world of new attachments. Banana pedal a little...

    B2601 but what implements and attachments?

    I would strongly recommend the QA for your loader. I have a 2016 B2601 and would not live without it. My old B2620 had the pin on style and was a real PITA. Definitely ballast box, forks, and some ROPS lights. I would consider a Piranha Bar as well if you want to do any minor digging; the...
