What temp should I start using my block heater?

Thanks! I’m debating between 2” and 3”. Maybe 2.5” is the answer, haha.

Would spacers and wheel weights be too much? Do wheel weights add stress to the axle, or since they should be supported by the wheels, are they safe? Do wheel weights provide any noticeable improvement if the tires are already filled?

I see this is an old thread, but figured I’d try a Hail Mary if anyone might respond. I also got the self leveling, which is great, but the the lack of curl can be a bit annoying when trying to carry a full bucket. Did you find a good solution? If there is a way to easily disable and reattach...

How are the 4” ones working out? I hear some people with concerns when you go that big.

Thanks! Are they bad because the weight of the bucket, etc. puts too much weight on the front Axles, or they interfered with steering, or …?

Also, I can't seem to find the BORA site. I only seem to see resellers. Do they not have a site for direct order, or am I just bad at google searching? Also, no one seems to talk about front spacers. Are they just a bad idea?

Thanks for such an informative answer!

Sounds like you're happy with those. Why did you choose 2" specifically instead of something bigger or smaller? Replacing the studs did sound a bit daunting, but you make it sound doable. I would definitely do all of this in my garage on flat pavement.

Thanks, yeah, when I read the instructions for the land pride tiller, it does say it is capable of offset, so that should solve the problem. Good idea, probably better than paying to upgrade, although I will have to it all in one direction instead of back and forth.

I'm in WI, so we get a fair amount of snow. I was leaning towards a blower, or just using my normal snow blower since our driveway isn't huge. But, figured I'd be sad spending an hour with my snow blower when I had a kubota sitting right there. Guess I'll find out in a month or two if I made a...

Does power service have a stabilizer too, or should I add something like seafoam/stabil if it's going to take me awhile to use up a tank? Or is diesel more stable than gasoline and simply doesn't need anything like that?

Thanks. I was planning to get a tilt meter too. Also open to suggestions on that. I was thinking maybe 3” spacers would be the sweet spot? But would 2” or 2.5” be better? I do already have the tractor and implements ( although some haven’t been used yet), so any changes would require some type...

Thanks again for all the great advice! I started a thread more specifically asking for advice on spacers, so as not to get too far off topic in this thread. If you'd like to chime in there, I'm all ears. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/b2601-wheel-spacers.60249/

Hello, I'm a very new B2601 owner. I have about 10 hours on my tractor so far. I may have not realized how small a slope qualifies as a hill when driving a tractor. My entire yard is hilly and even some of my paths are off-camber more than I realized before driving them with a tractor (I plan...
