    Upgrade from 2501?

    They may exist, but I've not yet seen a thread about someone regretting getting a cab ;)

    PSA Check your Lug Nuts

    I try to check them with each 10 hr lube of the zerks. Key word is 'try'. It's easy to get lax.

    Orange zero turns

    The Exmark I test rode was probably one of the best put together machines I tried and cut as good or better than anything else, but the suspension on the ferris won out in the end for my back. And, sorry for the thread jack.

    Orange zero turns

    I broke my back years ago and with my bumpy yard I'd either have to mow painfully slow, or mow at a normal pace and be in pain. I looked at every mower I could find and the Ferris was the only one with full suspension. It really does a great job of letting me mow at a fast pace without...

    Orange zero turns

    My Ferris is fully sprung suspended and is pretty plush ;)

    Ditto, except I'm cheap so mine's yellow ;)

    Ordering my B2650 tomorrow or Tuesday, last minute advice?

    I'd say your plan is solid and you'll be very please with it. I'd also agree with Bird Dogger and make sure they give you both sets of seat parts. Personally, I kept the regular seat as is and the swivel seat parts are sitting in the mancave collecting dust. The 60" bucket is the right...

    Looking for a mow tractor under DPF/Tier IV emissions for farm use

    You asked about wheelbase and turn radius. I don't know about the 2301. Between the B2650 and the L2501, the B has a longer wheelbase and a tighter turning radius as well as higher ground clearance. If you want a mmm, the B. Rear mower, either. If you need weight for 3 pt ground...

    BH77 Bucket size, is one better than other 16" vs 12"

    https://www.bxpanded.com/BX-quick-connect Maybe that will work?

    BH77 Bucket size, is one better than other 16" vs 12"

    The 12" will throw the tractor around if you let it. My clay must be a lot harder than everyone else's ;( I borrowed a 16" from a friend and it took longer to dig because I had to chip away at it before I could scoop a full load. I don't know the volume specs on them, but the 12" bucket on...

    BH77 Bucket size, is one better than other 16" vs 12"

    Obviously the 16" will move more material faster and the 12" will dig better in hard dirt. I went with the 12" knowing I'm mostly hard clay which can be like concrete at times. My thought was that the 12" can do anything the 16" can (although maybe slower in soft dirt), but the 16" can't do...

    Valve Stem Question

    That fluid is fine. It will stop coming out soon. If you put a dry tube in a dry tire and inflate, the tube won't seat evenly. Leaving a little fluid in the tire lets the tube seat evenly. If it's a new tube in a new (dry) tire, powder is often used instead to help the tube settle within...

    Trailer hitch - On the bucket or 3 Point?

    Call the cops, I'm steeling that idea ;) I had something like that in mind to weld up, but your design is much better that what I drew up. Very nice.

    New B2650 arrived, thanks all (pics)

    I've not seen a pic of one without the BH and/or FEL attached, and I've not yet removed my FEL. That's a mighty fine looking ride. Enjoy.

    L2501 Weighted Tires

    Yes, you beat me to it. If I had gone with the L I would not have filled them and would have just used 3 pt ballast for FEL work.

    2.5 gal YELLOW fuel can? (maybe Orange?)

    Every time I complain about the 5 gal cans, my wife reminds me that if I didn't "play on that *%^$# thing so much", I wouldn't have to keep filling it up :)

    Keeping Bessie II Warm

    When I actually make it out to Idaho, Schweitzer is definitely on the list, as well as Pebble Creek, Silver Mtn, and Tamarack. I need to hurry up and make that trip happen, I'm not getting any younger.

    Help can’t decide

    Same hp but big difference in size/feel. I'd suggest go ride around on both. If one feels too small or too big, you'll know right away.

    Keeping Bessie II Warm

    So ... what I'm hearing, is that this would be a good year to book a trip to Grand Targhee :)

    B2650, what parts should I have received on delivery?

    I did not get a mmm and there was no mid PTO cover when I picked her up. I instructed them to leave the seat as is from the factory and to just give me the seat hardware (flip seat stuff) that comes bundled with the BH77. I personally hate the feel of the flip seat and opted to keep the...
