    Easier way of pulling down ROPS for storage

    My rops was about an inch or two to tall to go in/out my shop's OH door. The rops was made of standard sized (1" x 3" ?) thick walled rectangular tubing. I removed the top half and fabricated a new one.....about 2 inches shorter. Now there's no worries and fussing with the OH door. The top...

    Temu Take Two…

    I've ordered a few small items from them to see what the quality was like. One item was an aluminum 12" engineers/drafting scale ruler. The triangular style with multiple scales on it. When the plastic mailer package arrived, the other items were there but apparently the ruler had poked a...

    Tractor PTO Shaft - Hard to turn - is that normal?

    On my B2650 I need to have the PTO selector in "MID PTO" ONLY. Then the rear PTO stub began to rotate easier and is now easily rotated by hand. But....only for 15° to 30° either clockwise or counterclockwise. But that's more than needed to align the splines of whatever your hooking up.

    Jacobsen (Olathe Mfg) Leaf Blower

    That one looks very similar to my older AgriMetal PTO blower. They're pretty simple in design. The tractor pto drives a pulley belt reduction system....or in this case it multiplies the rpms to the blower's fan. Under that front cover would be either a two or most likely a 3 belt pulley...

    Stump Grinder

    This was/is my remote camera install It was relatively cheap and works fairly well, but still with a few issues needing attention: 1. The sun or bright light on the cabless tractor easily washes out the screen's view when you can't attack the stump from a different angle to prevent that. A...

    BXpanded Instructions Needed

    Dusty, my backhoe is on it's cart and tucked deep into the storage shed so I couldn't get a good pic with the stuff piled close around it. However: It gets mounted just like the pic on the BXpanded website shows. You use the original pins that came with your backhoe/bucket to mount the QA to...

    BXpanded Instructions Needed

    I don't remember any instructions when I got mine. I think it was the ripper tooth only in it's box. If I remember right, the Quick Change came with an extra pin so you could have a pin in both your original bucket and the ripper tooth permanently in place.

    Stump Grinder

    Woodland Mills WG24 only comes in Green! :ROFLMAO: Otherwise they do look very similar in operation. I have the WG24 behind my B2650. No complaints, it works great!! You just don't want to find buried metal with any of them.

    Sod Cutter

    Title and post #1 says a "Sod Cutter" as in lawn grass. But it could also double as a "Bulk Velveeta Cheese Slicer"!! :ROFLMAO:

    LX2610 Newbie Learning experience

    It was cold and very breezy here that morning as well. I still have my covers on till it stays at freezing or above. I had to move snow as well. Moved the tractor outside to let it warm up for a few minutes and went over to the shop. Forgot the tractor was outside warming up until 15 - 20...

    Leaf raking tools

    The semi circle of steel is a 180° deflector that can be raised to blow straight to the left of the tractor. If lowered it redirects the airflow to the right side of the tractor.

    New BX2380 bucket meets ground unevenly....

    I would still say at this point to not focus so much on tire circumference, air pressure equal, etc. but instead just focus on getting the rear axle level....parellel with the floor. See post #26. If your floor is flat and all on the same plane (as in a sheet of glass) then getting the rear...
