    !5-40 Rotella oil

    Have put in tractor this spring. Wondering if too thick. Seems I hear rough metal noise when I start it at 40/50 degrees F. Maybe just my imagination?

    Adding Trans / Hydraulic Oil

    Anyone figure out how to get trans and hydro fluid into that plug on the back of tractor? I cut the bottom off of a quart hydro fluid bottle and used it as a funnel? IT worked but a sloppy messy job.

    Transmission and hydro drain plugs

    Is mine a different year? It's a 2020 and the owners manual shows a small drain hose which is not on my tractor. On mine there are 2 large plugs in the center of the trans, not small pipe like the drawing shows. These plugs have a heavy wire running through the middle of each.

    AIR COMPRESSOR oil pump

    I use one of these on my pick-ups. I am old and do not like getting under vehicle's. Anyone use one of these air pumps to take out oil and hydro fluid. The lower twist cap marked OIL seems a good place for the suction pump. It's slow but works.

    I bought my tractor over the next up model because it did not that emissions cleaning feature. What I do from time to time is gun the engine to high RPM, thinking I am manually burning off carbon. Am I just blowin' in the wind wasting my time and fuel?

    Starting and seat

    Yesterday I had a real hard time starting til I sat on the tractor seat. I believe for safety you are always to sit on the seat to start. I have always started by standing on the side of the tractor, which I guess is a no-no. I am wondering why it would not start this time til I sat down, but...

    SHAKEING the FEL

    I have seen on U-Tubes, operators shakeing the bucket at the end of a dumped load. I have a lot of snow that sticks to my bucket and wondering if this is skill they have developed or some type of advanced operation leaver that does the shakes?

    Start Up?

    Kind of a dumb question, but... I have an LX2610 not much over a year old now. When I first got it all I had to do is let glow plugs heat (often with help of block heater when cold) and it would start first turn of the key. No problem. Now it takes multiple letting the glow plugs warm, and...

    Oil LEVEL

    Have a LX 2610 Dipstick has 2 holes in it like many cars and trucks. Does not have the rough hash marks like it shows in the owners manual. Oil is up right above the first hole. Many vehicles like Ford v-8's say the oil must be above the 2'd hole. Do you think it is low oil in my tractor?

    Been running my tractor I got last spring pushing and lifting snow. Uneven ground. I keep the ballast box low and noticed it seemed to be a little higher. Pushed the lever to try to get it to go down and it will only go up. I've only used this function once or twice so it can't be worn...

    USING RPM to clear Disel buildup?

    Last spring I get a LX2610. I avoided the next bigger tractor/engine, the 3310 because I read that some other folks avoided the 33 bigger engines because of the hassle of the system it has to clear diesel fuel residue buildup. I have been using throttle rpm to run up the engine in hopes that...
