There's no DPF system on my 2017 B2650HSD. The engine gross HP is listed as 25.6HP. The next size up in this line is the B3350 wit its dpf emissions problems. My B2650HSD still runs like new at nearly 1400 hours on the clock. A great machine imo.

Yup!

Mine is a smaller machine but with the same 200-hour filter swap dilemma. I just went for it. I pre-lubed the new filter gasket, positioned myself comfortably to see and spin the filter, put a drain tray to keep the mess to a minimum. With only a slight fumbling trying to start the new filter...

This 5x8 box dumper can carry long shit, too, and has a 5200lb axle. It's served me many years pre and post construction/carpentry career. Had it hauling 2 yards of wet sand for a short run a few times. And the dumper fits the bill for so many jobs.

Screen on the outside of your hood's plastic intake mesh openings will clog up just as fast but be way easier to get at and clean, IMHO. Only if the overall area of an add-on pre-screen is larger than the hood openings will it take longer between cleaning stops. Sounds a bit tricky to do.

I bought a seal kit for my front snowblower raising-lowering cylinder - the smallest cylinder in my kit, after the leaks and "let-down" said enough was enough. $135 CAD for a tiny cylinder seal kit from the dealership. Other non OEM sources were near impossible to locate, and also pricey. Got...

I think you'd enjoy having one like my 2017 B2650HSD. 26HP, no exhaust DPF, no turbo, running at 1300 hours better than I bought it.

Well I can say that once set as you describe with 1/16 play at tightest point of rotation the blower has performed just fine for me for 9 winters, and chain still seems fine. I regularly check for pto-input-shaft-to-sprocket looseness by twisting the shaft back and forth while holding the...

For a BX23D, anyway. No plain BX23 model listed on the parts finder here in Canada.

After analyzing whitetiger's first attachment, there's a seat tilt safety switch which is normally open, so I assume it would close when the seat gets tilted up. Then the fuse blows. The PTO Shift Lever Safety Switch is between the tilt switch and the controller. That switch you say checks out...

With a PTO snow blower your LOT will probably run at the highest engine horsepower sustained output it will likely ever see. My 54" front blower is my heaviest fuel consumer, by far. With blower engaged I adjust to spec'd engine tested operating rpm (2500) and speed up travel until IO can "hear"...

The o-ring seals near the top of the dipstick prevent the transmission fluid from filling the dipstick tube from below. The o-rings seals stop the trapped air under them to escape and allow the oil below to rise up and level with the rest of the tranny oil in the case. Just pull the dipstick...

200 isn't particularly heavy, IMO. I've been 180-190 through most of my tractor's 1300ish hours.

Just more parts to get/make, fiddle with every install, then lose. For no tangible benefit.
