    PTO Chipper recommendations

    We’ve had 225 pecan trees on our place that are 53 years old now so we have a lot of limbs down especially after storms. 25 years ago we bought a used chipper with 45 hp from our light company. It was massive and worked well. We finally decided that a pint of diesel and a match was a lot easier...

    B2650-1/3rd. Of Hydraulics Do Not Work?

    My B2650 has 210 hours and has worked flawlessly for two years. Yesterday I was scooping soil with the front end loader and on the third scoop the bucket would not rise. The crazy thing is that the three point on the rear works fine and the bucket tilt on the front works also. The whole front...

    Grand L 60 - Double Step

    Well worth the money and a lot cheaper than a hip replacement. The standard step on my L6060 was really slippery and not designed well. Besides that the manual says to come down the step facing the tractor and few of us do it that way!😊

    No Grease Zerks?

    Traded in my older ZD323 on a lighter Z421 with 60” deck. Get home and find all the pulleys on the deck have no grease zerks. Haven’t seen any complaints on the net but seems like trouble to me. Are the newer bearings sealed? Thanks.....

    New B2650

    Having owned 11 tractors from 18 to 150 HP my experience is that a FEL on a tractor is THE most important addition to the unit.....

    New B2650

    And how long would it have taken to do without the FEL? :)

    My neighbor has a zero turn that won't mow this

    I have lived in a rural subdivision with 5-8 acre plots for 50 years and have been amused over time at the city folks who move “out to the country” and expect a riding lawn mower to take care of pasture that needs a small tractor to do the work. Lawn mowers are designed for turf that is kept...

    Lawn Scalping

    As stated above check air pressure in the tires so the mower sits level, adjust the deck wheels down enough to stop the scalping on turns and adjust the deck height a bit higher. I live on the Texas Gulf coasts and with all our rain this year lawn grass grows really fast. Down here no one would...

    Brand New to Tractors!!

    Whether a ditch or a Hill never drive up or down on the diagonal if possible. Always try to drive straight up or straight down.

    Kubota G6200 over heating!

    Well, Go out and check the radiator to see if it is dirty between the fins and tell us what is up! :) If you can get the lower hose off put a water hose in the top and if the tubes are clean water should rush out the bottom.

    Finish Mower

    You can get 8 foot Caroni finishing mower from Agri Supply for $2100 plus delivery. They do not scalp if the ground is pretty level. Here is what I use mine for on 8 acres. https://www.agrisupply.com/caroni-estate-mower-rear-discharge-lift-type/p/29234/ [/url][/IMG] [/url][/IMG]

    Piranha Toothbar

    They would have hundreds of thousands of dollars tied up in inventory if they pre-made extra bars for even popular bucket sizes. I***8217;d bet they cut to length and weld on the brackets as orders come in, thus some wait time. I just received a new unit and it took 15 days from order to...

    B3350 or B2650?

    You are correct. I have both a B2650 and a L6060 and the B2650 is ear screaming loud compared to the much larger L6060. [/url][/IMG]

    1.6 miles to gas station - drive it there?

    I have a 100 gallon tank in one barn with a transfer pump but in your case this manual/ battery pump might work if the hose is long enough. I feel your pain. At one time I had a tractor where the fill nozzle was 5 feet off the ground...

    A little apprehensive

    Sorry to hear of your problem and jerks tearing up a road without any thought that someone has to spend time and money for the up keep. Even if it is not your road I see the need to maintain so you have a nice entrance to your property but getting into a deadly conflict over the road is not...
