Good thing winter is late up here, put the snow blower and my new quick hitch and new rear blade. I have also long suspected that my hydraulic pressure was low so I put together a fitting and gauge to test it. After warming up the tractor I tested the pressure and sure enough I was running...

So my seat switch failed and I detailed how to bypass it here https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/b2650-seat-switch-problem-solved.48654/post-523794 Be aware that the tractor will move without someone in the seat after you do this though. Hope this helps. Cheers

I am about to start this process myself, although I am thinking of going with Summit hydraulics rear remotes. Let me know if you had any issues or you can give me any tips. I have pretty much the exact same setup as you have. Cheers Colin.

If you go the this thread I detailed how I bypassed the switch. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/seat-interlock-bypass.54842/#post-507043

My manual says to use grade 5 with the grove cut into them for the auger and grade 5 with no grove for the fan. I have decided that I will continue to use the bolt with the grove for the auger purchased at my dealer. In my mind the extra cost will be more than offset if the auger is compromised...

I am in almost the exact same situation, my B2650 is 2.25 years old 360 hours, and the seat switch issue started in the summer and got continually worse with time. The dealer in my area is not very good and argued with me about what was goin on, that is why I decided to bypass the switch. Cheers

excellent work around Cheers

So today I bypassed the seat interlock, nothing like the pictures supplied by @dirtydeed, his might be an open cab model not sure, mine has a cab. Thinking that my situation was the same as dirtydeed's I started out removing the seat. Removing the seat is not necessary. You start by removing the...

The seat interlock issue started a couple of months ago, even happens to me when the cabin is cold, then hunting season😊. I wasn't worried about it until my surgery date was moved up to next week. I thought I'd get it fixed at the 400 hour service in a couple of months. Now I can't get it in...

She operates it regularly but I did reinforce the dangers to her. Thanks

Thanks, I'll work on this tomorrow.

LOL your secret is safe with us!

Having some trouble with my seat interlock, works fine for me but no matter how I adjust the air ride seat my wife is not able to move the tractor. I will be having surgery shortly and my wife will need to operate the tractor to clear the snow and our dealer wont be able to get me in before...

Thanks for the excellent posts everybody, definitely a steep learning curve with all the work I want to accomplish with this tractor but you guys are a big help. Cheers

At camp the road gets dragged a couple of times a summer, I've found that on the hill dragging does nothing but make it easier for the rain to was away the loosened gravel. Dragging on the level does keep that part in good shape. Would I need to add weight to the box scraper so that the shanks...

I want to repair my driveway, lots of ruts and potholes. At camp situation is even worse heavy rain the last couple of years has left the road in terrible shape, lots of ruts where the water has run down a steep hill. I plan on installing drainage so the water runs off the cliff instead of down...

I'm looking at picking up either a box scraper or a grading scraper for my B2650HSDC. My usage would be at home for a 300' driveway with a 120 x 60 parking and turn around area and at camp. The road into the camp is about 750m and the drive into the cabin is around 400'. I'm trying to decide...

I contacted the dealer where I bought the tractor, and they said they would look into it, but that was a week ago. I've heard nothing since. I have been closing the door quite sofly now, but I think I am going to do what PHPaul does and leave the rear glass unlatched in case I forget to close...

So the installation cost me 670 including tax, the brings the total for the windshield replacement to almost 1100.:eek:

The shear bolts i got from my local parts counter were all grade 5, and in fact the guy went so far as to say I could use the auger bolt in the fan. The auger bolts I was sold were all machined to reduce the diameter, the fan bolts were not machined, but all were grade 5 stainless. I work...
