Congratulations on your purchase as well. I am sure you will be happy with your choice of the B2601. My original B7200 was only 17hp and did everything that I wanted it to do. I had a small woods backhoe on it and I dug out a basement, a 200 foot driveway 24" deep, 500 feet of trench 5 to 6...

This is how I do it when the earth is soft. If I encounter difficulty I break it up a bit with the hoe.

Lots of folks just install a 12 volt linear actuator motor as I did. Total cost was under $100. "Hay Bob you beat me"

No it does not require any tools to remove. It is held in by the lower pin of the upper link. I adjust the upper nuts to take vertical weight off of the PTO. If I am using my backhoe I do remove the bracket from the pump and install it on the B/H pump. If you remember I gave my BH77 its own PTO...

I run my 3 point splitter with a 11 gpm pump as shown. The cylinder on the splitter is 4". This combination gives me very adequate speed but wish they made these pumps in a two stage version to speed up the return. Mine is a vertical splitter since a lot of my logs are quite large in diameter...

I have a 5hp 3 cylinder in a smaller shop that I use to paint cars and machinery in as well as blowing water out of our irrigation lines in the fall. In a larger shop I have a portable 2 hp used for air tools etc. A third smaller compressor is used primarily for brad nailers. As previously...

When I am looking for a battery I just call a local battery supply with dimensions, location of terminals and cranking amps. Maybe you can Google the group 25 specs.

When I attempted to remove the loader last year the supports started to twist sideways resulting in the loader arm getting up against the hood. I gingerly moved the tractor about four feet so that I could attach a chain fall to the loader and safely remove it. Unfortunately I have a concrete...

The only way I can see is to increase the diameter of the rear tires making sure you still have fender clearance. You would then have to somehow re-level the mower deck. Personally I would sell it and purchase a zero turn for faster speed.

I had a b7200hst that I used for loader and bh work as well as cutting 3-5 acres. Taking the mower off and on was a pita. Best thing I did was get a zero turn for cutting grass. Bought my lx2610 without a mmm. I would certainly recommend a B series for your application. I bought the lx for the...

We are allowed to burn piles of brush about 20' x 20' x 6'. I probably do about 10 of these every year as I clear brush along my 4000' driveway as well as other areas. I obtain a burn permit every year which stipulates all requirements. I abstain from burning due to wind direction or if dry...

Made up new loader supports after experiencing issues while removing the loader last year.

I purchased my tractor new with a cab after considering an aftermarket Curtis cab that I would be able to remove the doors and rear window in the summer. After getting the tractor with the cab I am very happy with it. Nice to be able to do comfortable tractor work in on hot days or snow blowing...

Have considered getting a hydraulic top link and thought that I should be able to reach the control through the rear cab window and hook up the implement at the same time. If not I would make up a double female hose and connect it to the cylinder first so that it could be moved by hand prior to...
