I just bought a new B3200 and I used the tractor for the first 50 hours ,according to what the manual stated.Not counting the first two hours before I read the manual that night Hey what normal guy reads the book then uses the product ? The tractor came off the flat bed , I doubled checked all...

OK, here is what happen to this newbie....when I changed the hydraulics filters at 50 hours on my new B3200. A word of caution was given to me from this forum , and thank God I listen and was prepared. Even the dealer gave me bum info, he said " o a little oil will come out and have clean pan...

Hey Chris , here a thought on the back hoe. I also plant fruit trees. Now most of my backhoe work is done but I still day dream of having a backhoe, just can' t justify the cost with what I would do with it. But I did see a cool idea I believe was in this forum. A guy took basically a large...

Thanks for your help

OK, now I can't wait to get home and get behind my pride and joy and grab the pto shaft and test it the way your explaining. Now if it turns, that's my test to check it has an internal slip coupler ? Please bare with me on this..... Thank so much for your time.

Thanks.........

OK, thats clearing things up. Is it possible there is an internal slip. clutch to protect the tractors PTO shaft if a solid object is hit ? Thanks for the help .

I am getting some input there is a internal protection system to protect the tractor PTO shaft from sudden stop . I will be researching more. I will let you know what I find. Thank you for taking time to reply.

O yeah, I did all you did with five foot brush hog cutter on the old ford 9n, dam there are lots smaller rocks on my place now lol...... And I had it push me along when I was I neutral, learned real quick make sure I had safe path to go with that dam thing. And I manage to stal it when I did...

Thanks for replying and sharing your experience. With my old Ford 9n I did stale it from hitting stumps etc. But never broke anything . Probally because from what you are pointing out.

Well you are on track with your thought about protecting the PTO shaft from a sudden forced/jammed stopped. But the location for the protection is by putting the overrun coupler on the tractors PTO, this way all implaments just connect to the coupler. That way one is not needed for each...

I am sure the brush hog has no overrun on it. Its a old unit, I will look closer to see if I can see a shear pin/bolt. I knew of someone who cracked the tractors PTO/crankshaft when he hit a large rock. He just kept saying if I put a overrun slip coupler on my tractors PTO I still be brush...

For a new ( 2013 ) B3200 when brush hogging would I need the over run protector ( not sure that correct name/ term ) placed on my rear PTO to prevent damage to PTO shaft if I hit a large rock ? Or is there an internal slip protection system ?

Man I love the idea of the studs , but my concern is some coming out , and of course my car tire will find it for me or worse into my tractor tire. Can you tell me how they are working out ? Looks like dam good idea.

Hi Chris, I just reread all the reply`s to you again. I have to admit, I see several guys telling you go with L series for what you want to do. I really think they are very correct. Especially depending how much you get into that logging. At minimum you would need the largest B series, and...

Hi Chris, Congratulation on coming change in lifestyle. My situation is just like your. I have 70 acres upstate NY, and I am doing the same type of things you are talking about. They call me a transplant my neighbors. I work in NYC, had the property for 30 years with a cottage for hunting. Just...
