    2009 RTV1100

    Was shocked to find what looked like rusty water in radiator overflow, flushed the radiator then filled with distilled water and flushed again. Once drained put the new antifreeze in. MY ZTR331 and L4740 are both the same age and never seen this after 2 years. Also those inline fuel filters on...

    Post hole auger questions for a BX2380.

    I borrowed my friend’s hydraulic FEL auger he uses on his skid steer. I was amazed at when I ran into root, I was able to reverse flow and easily backed out. After a few slow times it cut straight through root. I am going to sell my 3pt auger!

    B2601 Loader cost

    They told me the exact opposite. To come and pick up loader, remove loader-sub frame from tractor and install new mmm front arm connections they want me to pay $500. Loader is off of tractor. I can remove subframe and install mmm mower connectors myself, but they said no.

    2009 RTV1100

    We have a RTV-1100 with 936 hrs. It seems to use a good bit of fuel for a small 3cylinder engine. Only thing that has not been done from maintenance is valves adjusted. I hear no valve clatter. Could this be causing the high fuel consumption or should I look elsewhere?

    B2601 Loader cost

    Exactly my point. I think they gave me a fair price on the tractor. i want to pay the fair price for FEL. If others have the LA435 with 54” quick attach bucket and paid 4800 plus tax, I will bite the bullet. But otherwise I will write a check for 3500 plus 7.5% tax and mail it to them. A wrong...

    B2601 Loader cost

    We bought B2601, 60" mmm and box blade. They already had a FEL on tractor and they said to try it and see if we like. Well being used to my L4740 it would be okay for small jobs under Large Live Oak Trees where the B series could fit. When I called them expecting to pay 3500 plus tax and found...

    Mower deck on B2601

    Just sold our BX2660 and purchased a B2601 and 60” mmm. Well today cut a few paths and it seemed to be uneven. Looking in the owners manual gave me no clear answer on how to adjust deck. it looks as though rear deck hangers have to be disconnected turned a few times, then reattach deck and...
