    Looking for Adapter for ATV Implements

    My B7610 has a small receiver hitch below the PTO. It's about 2" wide by 1.25" tall with holes to accept a horizontal pin I believe. I'd like to drag a small ATV trailer, but the ATV trailer hitches look pretty simplistic and light duty. They seem to accept a vertical pin. What should I put...

    Landscape Rake for De-Thatching ?

    I see some side rakes and rotary-style rakes like folks use for raking hay into windrows, but my application is scraping an inch or so of 10-year-old dead grass off old CRP ground, and trying to get it off so I can spray effectively. It seems like a blanket harrow would do that as well, but...

    B7610 Fuel Filter - Seems pretty stuck in the bowl

    Do these things normally require pliers and come out in pieces? I was trying to be 'gentle' and wasn't successful in getting the filter out (only 50 hours since service). It's below freezing, does that matter?

    B7610 blowing snow ... and then it wasn't

    I have a 2004 B7610 HST with ag tires and chains, and I am trying to blow snow with a B2660 60" front-mount blower. I was doing pretty well until I found that I had lost the drive to the blower (the entire mid PTO driveshaft assembly was laying on the ground). The rear section looks like it is...

    7610HST shifting PTO with mower

    I tend to use the clutch when changing H/L or 2/4Wd. It doesn't work so well when using my 4' rotary mower. Shifting PTO-ON is smooth and quiet. When I try and shift PTO-OFF I usually get a grinding. Do I need to throttle-down when shifting the PTO Off, or perform some other ritual?

    How much disc harrow can I pull with a B7610 HST?

    I went small on my mower and only got a 48" (24hp tractor). Any suggestions on disc size? Is it by weight of the implement? I only have about 25 acres and I doubt it will be disc'ed regularly and then not all of it.

    Mixing Ag and R4 Tires

    I have a 2004 B7610 HST 4wd. The tires are all R4 and the fronts are pretty worn. I was thinking about putting Ag tires on the front for better traction when snow blowing. I haven't found any references to folks mixing tire types and I'm curious if that's a bad idea.

    Speeco 3-pt auger

    My local dealer (a hardware store) has several of these in stock, but they don't clearly show the model #. The boom arm appears stockier than the Compact model which I suspect is designed for the small tractors like my B7610. I know you wouldn't want to put a a small auger on a big tractor...

    PTO Sprayer - Maintaining Speed with HST

    I have a B7610HST that is new-to-me with a Fimco 25 gallon 3-pt sprayer. To make the sprayer behave in a predictable manner I need to run at a constant road speed. It does have a pressure gauge. Because of the way the sprayer is configured I will probably need to run the tractor in High...
