    Cleaning your 3-point finish mower

    For those of you that have/use 3-point finish mowers, how do you clean them? I assume just a strong spray of water from a hose (vs. pressure washer), but how are you lifting yours up for access? Last time I cleaned mine, I just lifted it up with a chain using my loader, but it didn't get quite...

    Land Pride FDR Finish Mowers

    Does anyone know if the Land Pride FDR Finish (Grooming) mowers can be rolled around when not hooked up to the tractor? I am likely going to purchase one and will be storing it in my shop. Would be nice if I can roll it around on the shop floor to get it out of the way when needed without...

    Help choose the right mower

    Okay... so I've done a bunch of searching, and have read numerous threads/posts on MMM vs. 3-point mower, but I still can't quite find the answer to my *possibly unanswerable* question... My Husqvarna lawn "tractor" (haha... scoff) has given up the proverbial ghost due to a woefully inadequate...

    Piranha Tooth Bar - disadvantages?

    So, I have read all the glowing reports for the Piranha Tooth bar, and the way I think I will be using my loader bucket, I'm pretty much convinced that it will be as good as it sounds, but... what are the disadvantages? Are there certain tasks for which it gets in the way and needs to be...

    Ground prep with B2650

    So, I guess this is kind of a combination tractor operating/general farming question... I am taking back some of the ground (~2 acres) that I have been leasing out to a local farmer so that I can create more grazing/sacrifice space for my daughters horse (insert knowing groan here :D). All of...

    B2650 change to alternator

    All, I know there are a few threads on the project to replace the magneto on the B2650 to an alternator, but I have a few questions that I did not see answered in those other threads: - I see a few different versions of an alternator that, from reading previous threads, will work on the B2650...

    Factory hole in ROPS

    So, got my B2650 a couple of weeks ago. Tonight I was looking at it and I see there appears to be a factory-made hole (5/16" or metric equivalent) in the top crossmember of the ROPS, on the front side. Do you think this was put there by design for routing wires to an aftermarket light? It...

    B2650 max. Implement width

    I am getting ready to purchase a B2650 and had spec'd out a BB1260 (60") box scraper and a RTA1558 (58") tiller. I made a coy of the Operator's manual for the B2650/B3350 and was reading through the implement limitations page. It lists a max tilling width of 50" and max cutting width on a box...

    First tractor purchase - advice

    Hi all, I am located in northwestern Washington State and am in the market for my first tractor of my own. I own 8 acres of reasonably flat farmland - no trees to speak of. Currently, I lease out 5+ acres to a local farmer but I am slowly taking some of that back since we acquired a horse for...
