That "struggling" might better be defined as torque. For example; two systems doing the same amount of work, where one is turning twice the RPM, will have about double the torque on the slower one. While torque is often thought of as a good thing, it really means that every gear tooth, vane...

Could you run the tractor up on a couple of boards to see if that works?

And now we have Kubotas that need three systems of tools, SAE, metric and vise grip. o_O

When Ford came out with the 6.7 diesel the oil capacity went to 13 quarts from the 15 quarts used in previous engines. They didn't update the maintenance software the dealers used for a number of years and many, if not most, engines were overfilled. They even screwed up the owners manuals in...

No leaks, seat flips around but plenty of clearance. My thought is that there is debris in a valve. I'm loosing faith in the dealer and I hate to turn them loose on it, hopefully with some direction from you folks I can come up with a place to start looking. I can't imagine that the lock pins...

I bought a new B2601 with a BH70 backhoe, the first time I used it there seems to be an issue. I ran the machine for more than 2 hours at approximately 1800 RPM without shutting down. On two occasions as I moved slowly just 150 yards the backhoe was dragging in the dirt. Since the tractor was...

I did some work for NASA and they put inserts (Heli-Coils) in everything, they don't wait for a failure. It would be much better than original IF, I mean IF the inserts were installed correctly and IF the threads are deep enough and IF there is adequate material surrounding the now enlarged...

I believe that is a safety thing, less debris will fly out and it harder to stick your foot in with the deck down.

My 2011 F250 is virtually impossible to siphon, I can only get a 1/4" O.D. hose down in. If there is an easy fix I would like to know.

Did you buy from Burke? I had a number of issues with the backhoe and thumb. The stick and boom collide when fully extended, two grease fittings were completely loose and painted shut. The thumb kit had the pin that was too short and it was not drilled for a grease fitting. The thumb could...

I looked at too many used tractors that were weathered and abused by the owners. While you can make a joke out of abusing possesions, others don't want to pay much them. If protecting your net worth doesn't matter, then have at it.

I used Nu Finish for years with good success. Now that the ceramic products arrived I bought the Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions ceramic product for the new tractor because of good reviews and testing.

If you could back away and take a photo that shows more, maybe we could better find the root cause.

My new BH70 might have the same issue, I'll know more when I remove some pins. The boom and stick collide, at full extension, at one side of that U-shaped opening. Between the amature assembly by the dealer and wrong or faulty parts, my backhoe is not even usable. I expected better.

Maybe he understands the advantage of the minimal property tax on 10+ acres.

I suppose the oil leaks is the reason?

I bought a Country Clipper (no, you never heard of it), because it uses a joystick instead of those stupid arms and has a pivoting front axle plus the deck can stand up vertical for cleaning and service. If those things are not important to you, I would look at the Bad Boy mowers, just know...

New BH70 backhoe with a BH1976 thumb will not use all 6 positions. When the thumb is raised completely it still partially blocks the last hole so the pin will not go in. With the thumb down one position, digging is reduced with the thumb resting on the soil. Apparently this thing is made...

I went there as well and we had the same conversation. I did buy elsewhere, look around. I believe that Messicks is a good dealer and some wait time may be worth it, but business is business.

I looked up PA laws and apparently some type of liability insurance is required. It doesn't need to be insurance on the tractor, a general liability policy is OK.
