post some pictures if you are able and state where its located maybe someone on this forum would be interested.

I have the County line model and it works great. I have been using it for maybe 10 years with zero maintenance and no problems. About 15 hours per year in usage. I have broken many a shear bolt especially during the earlier learning curve period. I pull mine with an old orange 40 horsepower...

You might check Harbor Freight. They offer several at very low cost.

I also dislike taking my MMM deck on and off. If you decide to go that route you might consider purchasing a Deck Dolly. The deck on my B2601 is fairly cumbersome and the deck dolly makes the maintenance and/or its storage safer and easier. Good luck.

Familiarize yourself with the loader float feature. Look on YouTube. That might help you. Good luck.

I have turf tires on my B2601 and they works great in the snow.

I had a similar issue not long ago. I looked up the part on Messicks website called them the next day and had the part in my hand maybe the day after. Super fast. I think the part was about $100 and the shipping was $70ish . I called and complained about the shipping cost and they reduced it a...

Who is the owner?

Cobwebs, rust, faded paint, bird poop. Brand new.

Skip it. Buy yourself a Fiskers 8 pound splitting maul. It works great and will provide you with some exercise. If you are going to split a lot of wood over a lot of years consider the SuperSplitter log splitter. Expensive but amazing.
