    Limited lift capacity

    Thanks Dan, I could be wrong but I think the rear not lifting up was due to the lack of lifting power. If he had a ballast box on at the time that would have made more sense to me. As soon as I went to lift the pallet, the loader stopped and didn't even try to lift the load. Then we removed...

    Limited lift capacity

    Gotcha, idk if my brother in law is really concerned about it.. but I know I would be. That tractor could easily and safely lift much more IMO. Not an expert here, but my machine is very comparable to his and I know mine would at least TRY to lift.

    Limited lift capacity

    Hey Guys, Got a question about the lift capacity with 'newer' tractors. How is the factory limiting the loaders lifting capacity, and have any of you remidied this issue? I ask because I recently used my brother in laws newer B series tractor, and was surprised when I went to go lift up a...

    Oil leaking out exhaust manifold

    Thank you Dave, Sorry for the delayed response. The 7200 was due for an oil change soon so I went ahead and did that last night, and cleaned up the oil. I will know later today if it will continue to leak or not. The crankcase vent is still functional, it had always had a steady "puff" of...

    Oil leaking out exhaust manifold

    I will have to shut the tractor off more when I'm low idling for extended periods. Generally the tractor is getting worked pretty good. So is the load on a tractor engine much different from a diesel pickup/semi truck? I ask because a lot of guys with trucks say to high idle when sitting for...

    Oil leaking out exhaust manifold

    Ahh, never even thought of that. Something I've heard of many times - but never seen the direct results of. Yes, at the time I noticed the leak she was at low idle. I was installing farm gates and using the loader to lift/swing the gates as I installed them. I'm assuming if it's just wet...

    Oil leaking out exhaust manifold

    Like the title says, oil is coming out the exhaust manifold, and it's leaking out where the stack bolts to the manifold. My first thought was valve seals... Any thoughts? It does not appear hydro oil, coolant, or diesel is mixing with the engine oil. Is it safe to run for a few hours this...

    B7200 hydraulic block

    I'm glad I checked back, I need to turn on my notifications! The issue was my original hydraulic block was damaged, and of course - the part is discontinued. I bought a "take off" block and (warning to others) they are not all the same size! They look identical, other than the fact that one...

    B7200 hydraulic block

    Hey all, Long story short I either need a hydraulic block - or a way to extend the "new" block I already purchased. This is for a B7200HST-D I recently found a take off block, ordered, and installed it! All was looking good until I went to bolt the hydraulic line to the block, only to...

    Parting out/Whole B6000D 4x4 w/FEL

    Do you have a good hydraulic block? I need one for a B7200 and I've seen some of the parts are interchangeable.

    Looking at B20/21 Tractor - Advice?

    Thanks for the reply. I think the B20/21 will make a great tractor for me. I mainly use it for snow removal/grading a horse ring, and would likely use it on side projects - clearing land, digging trenches, etc.

    Looking at B20/21 Tractor - Advice?

    That's exactly what I thought. And I could care less about having a belly mower. It would just get in the way for what I need the tractor for. A snowblower might be cool, but I've gotten pretty good at just using the bucket... Which reminds me, would a B20/21 have a "float" option for the...

    Looking at B20/21 Tractor - Advice?

    I'm thinking I will if I can get my car sold in time! I'm also looking at L series tractors too. I've read somewhere before that you can't add extra hydraulics because there's no mid mounted PTO, is this true!? I figured they would run off the pump. I could see myself getting a brush hog, or...

    Looking at B20/21 Tractor - Advice?

    Good tip! With this particular machine, I don't think the BH has ever been off either. Seller doesn't have the linkages etc, so that would be an extra purchase. Honestly, the only thing I could see getting for the 3PH is maybe a york rake, trailer hitch, or ballast box. I use a JD lawn tractor...

    Looking at B20/21 Tractor - Advice?

    Yea, I've never seen a B20/21 in person.. but from what I've seen online they are a similar size. Maybe that weight was without the FEL/BH, I would think 3.5k+

    Looking at B20/21 Tractor - Advice?

    It says 400 hours, must have rolled over at least once though. From the looks of the machine, it may only have 1400 hours on it. I'm sure the BXs are very capable, they just look too small. I've "overloaded" my B7200 many times (no rear ballast), so I definitely want something bigger - just not...

    Looking at B20/21 Tractor - Advice?

    I was also wondering, what's the weight of this tractor? Tractor data says it weighs 2k lbs and and B21 is almost 4k.. doesn't sound right, unless it really is THAT much bigger. Also can the B20 take other attachments via 3PH? Can you add a thumb to the backhoe, or additional bucket implements...

    Looking at B20/21 Tractor - Advice?

    Hey guys, I've found a real nice looking, garage kept B20 being sold from an estate. I currently have a B7200, and it's a great machine! I'm just looking for something bigger and I love the idea of having a backhoe. This would be a small farm tractor, and potentially used on side jobs through...
