    Potential PTO Shaft Rotation Tool?

    I have the same experience. With continued trying the percentage of times it works without having to piddle with it increases.

    Potential PTO Shaft Rotation Tool?

    I greatly agree. Technical basis very helpful. Engaging the shaft a little and then backing off likely would make it easier to shift the selector to front when it fails to wish to. Will try. My logic is when it is difficult to engage 4wd, sometimes you need to go a little forward or...

    Potential PTO Shaft Rotation Tool?

    Mine now rotates freely. Put PTO in mid. The issue is that sometimes that is tough to do, but getting easier. It is also getting easier to move between gear ranges and engaging 4wd. The PTO is still the most difficult as it is used the least. I think it is just a new issue. If you have to...

    BH77 Leak

    My lower two grease fittings are also painted over on the BH77, no way to get grease in. Likely factory grease used during assembly - but guessing there. Thought I would just replace the two fittings, but may be harder than it sounds. Dealer made quite the mess completely filling the space...

    Why the Artillian grapple kind of sucks...

    "It is kind of a love hate relationship now." Sums it all up...however, misery does love company. Nice to meet you electronically. Big fan of your canopy system BTW.

    Why the Artillian grapple kind of sucks...

    I went down this same path with the Artillian, except I ordered the second lid within about a month as I dropped much more than I carried and am way too impatient to develop better skills. So saving money turned into wow, what a pricey contraption I now have. The reason I ultimately went with...

    Potential PTO Shaft Rotation Tool?

    Thanks to those who responded. I had opportunity to swap attachments out over the weekend so investigated further. It is possible to rotate the PTO shaft by hand, not freely, but it readily moves with the PTO selector set to the mid pto - SOMETIMES. The actual issue is exact positioning of...

    Potential PTO Shaft Rotation Tool?

    On the LX2610 when the PTO selector is set to mid I have been told that it is possible to manually rotate the rear PTO shaft from the tractor so that it may be aligned with the splines of a PTO shaft for shaft attachment. However, before being told that the rear tractor PTO tractor shaft could...

    The top-n-tilt top link is already damaged. User error or poor design?

    I ordered one from AgriStore (that now is out of stock it appears) that works well on my LX2610. I had to grind about 1/4" total off the sides of the ball so it would fit into the slot at the tractor end to be able to slide it in and put the pin through. Kubota made this slot fairly narrow...

    Yep, that looks about right... I'm learning too :)

    Canopy. Are they good to have or not?

    If height is an issue, then the Artillian is not for you. It adds something like 4" to the ROPS and if you tilted the ROPS back without removing it, it would be sticking way up in the air. So not the best if you are continually lowering and raising the ROPS.

    Canopy. Are they good to have or not?

    I have one of these with the integral fan system. Really great, high quality, and well-thought through product. Allows different fore and aft position of the canopy, removability, reversability for backhoe use, and can be tilted to further tune sun-blockage. It is aluminum, but light enough...

    LX2610 - One year of ownership.

    I have the QH15, but suggest modifying anything that doesn't fit the QH as NHSleddog states. AgriSupply sells a "top link adapter bracket" that can make most things work - if it can't, I would replace the implement unless a "complex" one not QH compatible for a reason. With the saved money...

    Sickle bar mower

    I use a ditch bank DelMorino flail with hammers for your identical purpose. Did not think a sickle would hold up to the brush that I have invading in addition to the trees. I have no experience with a sickle, this "knowledge" simply comes from reading statements of others. The flail works...

    LX2610 - One year of ownership.

    I have a LX2610 without the cab and a 72" RFM is too much for it on hills, so I expect your 84 with the additional weight of a cab will be quite a bit too much unless you are mowing flat. One regret I have, should have gotten the LX3310 for mowing. No problem running a 52" flail up any hill I...

    Attaching LA535 Loader with a Toothbar

    I have same tractor, loader and toothbar. It is doable without any additional plywood etc, you just have to learn the different angles for the dump and not care if you scar the concrete a little with the bar teeth. All the best!
