Secret #1 if you do not have the other means of holding up heavy tire. Before jacking the frame up to remove the tire - jack it up ONLY enough to allow the tire to tilt towards you, so basically the tire is just touching the ground. Roll the tire left or right enough to get out of the way, then...

I am not very familiar with the B1550. On another note - there is nothing wrong with a geared machine, used one for many years, the ONLY reason I would consider one, is IF I needed all the HP at the PTO. Any type of moving back and forth, the HST will win hands down, as for open field cutting...

The B7100 is a mule on steroids........... but I do not think it is the right one for you. A BX with FEL will do more work than a B7100 with a FEL. The L2650 in your list would have be ideal......... As for hours - 2000 hours isnt really bad on a well taken cared engine... emphasis on the...

They will claim it saved them money doing that!

I too would like to see what is broken - there are ways to fix these type of problems without buying new. Can you upload pictures?

Might not be AI - might be a real human that comes from a country that has an A and an I in it's name!

It wasn't that good ............... turn the page

I just placed mine back on the Noco ........... year 12 + 6 months ......... so bad luck is coming my way????

I had just had a discussion last month with the golf course superintendent where I am the head mechanic about people on the JD 50 hp tractor - one got on and had an empty bucket riding down a fairway to go to another fairway with the bucket at a height that it SHOULD not be in while moving. The...
