    Tractor seats

    I think we found a solution. First the seat off a ZD1211 is slightly too wide but the seat off a lower line Z mower will fit. It does not have adjustable recline but you can get some adjustment by loosening the bolts etc. the depth of the seat is better than the OEM seat that comes on the grand...

Besides you tend to slide forward out of the seat. The dealer has been great trying to help but no success yet. The seat on...

    Mowing with a Bx

    upgrading to a B2601 "

    Over the years I had several BX units, nice little yard tractor, great for mowing nd light duty. However low ground clearance and only two speed HST are limiting factors. Upgraded to “B “ 2601.

    Help another newbie decide between a B2601 vs LX2610

    The LX2610 is the old B2650 and is a slightly larger frame than the B2601. I have a 2601 a dam upgrading to a L3560 even though I do not have that much acreage .
