I've got the same B2650 as the OP and was looking at the EA 5 ft 6-way blade that is in the link you posted. It's only 290 lb, much lighter than my box blade. I'm curious as to why that tractor is too small for this 6 way blade, while it sounds like you are saying a 3 way version of it would...

Your first tank is the septic tank, should always be full. The second tank is the holding tank that either gravity feeds to your field or is pumped to the field. If it has a pump, it should never get full, only fill up to what ever height they have your pump settings at. If it fills, your...

It's not so much a certain rpm you should run, it's more a matter of not running a single rpm constantly. I vary the rpm a lot for the first 10 hrs, avoiding wide open throttle for extended periods for the first 50 hours. Just don't lug the engine, or WOT for hours at a time and you'll be fine.

I may be the oddball (my wife will agree), but I actually feel more stable with the 2 handled ZT than with the wheel. I tried both, thinking I'd like the steering wheel better, but didn't. With just a little practice it too can be handled with one hand, leaving the other for hydration control ; )

I was going by what the picture showed, which can be misleading. I was thinking brush as in something you could drop the bucket on the ground to flatten as you go, and the box would churn it and it's roots up. I've done this with brush 5-6 feet tall, but it was small bushes, blackberry...

Like Wolfman said, best to have it patched from the inside. But, I'd still suggest a plug kit. It will hold well enough to get you finished for the day and back to a place to easily remove the wheel to take to the shop. I've had plugs that worked well for over a year and others that would...

I'm no expert, but I hate to pay someone to something I can do myself, even if not as efficiently or as well. If it were my land, I would box blade right at the outer edge of the rut, as deep as my box would cut, 20-30 feet at a time. I'd use the loader to push that fresh dirt into the rut to...

If I'm clearing trees, the bucket is usually full of limbs, limbs piled up across the loader bars, and I use the backhoe to pick up the trunk before heading to the burn pile. I could just use the loader, but hey, the backhoe is there, might as well use it. Scooping a large trunk takes a little...

I understand them wanting to dumb down the tech to keep folks from breaking stuff, but if done correctly it would be handy to not have to keep your foot on the pedal in certain circumstances.

It works well, but I do wish it had the option of engaging it without having to hold it down.

The thumb makes it easier to scoop up things like a downed tree trunk. It's possible without the thumb, but takes a lot more skill.

So far my 2650 has taken 21 hours to burn thru 12 gallons, so ... 0.57 gph. That's all been bucket, back hoe, and box blade work. 12 gallons seems awefull cheap compared to the amount of sheer work it's produced.

Congrats. Enjoy. And post pics!!

The loader on the B2650 is easy to take on and off, as well as the backhoe. It does have the mid PTO for the belly mower you mentioned while the L series does not. I think it would suit your needs just fine. Only thing I don't know about is the rear PTO needs of the post hole diggers. If you...

I live in TN. If we actually get snow, I usually wear shorts and a t-shirt to shovel it. :cool:

I went with a Ferris 2100Z. I looked at all the commercial stuff available, all very capable and similar. Ferris was the only one with full sprung suspension. I broke my back several years ago and my lawn is bumpy. The suspension is a total backsaver in my case, well worth the $$. I save...

I've got the adjustable telescoping arms and really haven't had any issues lining things up at all. If I had several 3pt implements a quick hitch might be handy, but I only switch between the box blade and the backhoe. Of course no matter what you use, after you do it a hundred times or so it...

Not necessarily a winterizing thing, but if it's gonna sit for a while in a moist environment, you might consider lubing all the fittings and hitting any spots that need it with a spray can of paint.

I had originally asked to not have the tires filled when I purchased my B2650. When I picked her up they were filled anyway out of habit per the manager. Didn't cost me anything and I figured I would just empty them if I didn't like the ride feel. They are still filled. The ride feel is...

My B2650 has about the same hp and similar loaders LA534. The bh77 is well balanced on her and I haven't had a bucket full yet that was heavy enough to bog her down. I leave the bh77 attached for ballast since I use it often, I only take it off when I run the box blade. I would expect the...
