The BB1560 has the round pins, which are spring clip held. I somehow lost a pin once and subbed a heavy bolt until it showed up again.

That 84" beast needs at least double the tractor than our B2650. WAY too big, and it will drag the tractor to a halt with half its load capacity. The BB1560 60x15 box size covers the B2650 tracks, and I can vouch for having enough power and traction with R4 tires to scrape, fill and drag around...

I'm a B2650HSD owner and my BB1560 box scraper is all I could ask for in a Box Blade Scraper for this machine. It's heavy enough to ballast any load the FEL can lift, and I've given it lots of punishment year round with gravel, soil, and ice/snow. See if you can find one like it used. The weight...

So a forward facing 3-point blower? Forward motion operation? Way nicer on the neck etc....

The tractor loves its T6 5w-40!

Now THAT"S a good and proper catch-22 lol...

If you DON'T get one, it will snow TONS. And vice-versa.

When it doesn't start: Are the glow plugs being energized the same as when it does start? While cranking are there any fumes or smoke emitted from the exhaust pipe? Does the engine cough or fire at all? Is ALL the safety switch related gear in the same state as when it does start? How long...

T6 5W-40 unless it never freezes where you live.

I think it's your machine to risk, not ours. How often are you forking out those few extra dollars to stay OEM on fluids or any other maintenance items? Will your "savings" with cheaper fluid be enough for you to count towards insurance against any premature failures that may occur? For these...

If the radiator fan pictured is supposed to pull air through the rad towards the engine then ya, the cupping of the fan blades should be facing the direction that air is being moved, not away from. If flipped your fan will become way more efficient and move way more air. I assume the fan as...

Did you try putting the engine in N, and setting the parking brake? My B2650 allows PTO operation off-the-seat when those conditions are met.

I loosely tied my B2650HSD seat switch lever in the down position with a loop of zip tie. Against the safety rules but a recent back surgery has left me unable to sit for more than a minute or so before the pain is too much. So until I heal any work is done with me standing. Moving wood crates...

I'm getting fleeced then even as CAD/USD costs me in Canada, and mine is simple tube, dura-wrap is velcro?

That woven sleeve is f...ing expensive. $5-10/ft depending on size, how the hell can they charge that? Is it some weird material or something? I just about fell over when the stealership told me the bill for a 3ft piece, whoah. Any ideas out there for a cheaper but equally effective sleeve material?
