    Looking at a 6' foot land plane which is stated to be rated for 25 plus hp tractor. Anybody out there with experience with a setup like this on B2620 ? Thanks

    Pallet Fork advice bx 2380

    I had some clamp on and ended up selling them, mainly because they reduce the lifting capacity as it places the weight further out. They also had a tendency to rotate a bit.

    Make shift land plane

    I had 12 yards of gravel delivered for my road. I asked the driver to lay it down at a 2 inch depth. I guess he decided that an 8 plus inch depth would be better. After using my box blade to cut it down and spread it out I ended up with a lot of woopedos. Not having a land plane I came up...

    Hooking up PTO question

    I put a mark to indicate a splines valley on the implement side of the pto shaft. This helps to line things up, try the best you can to keep the two lined up on the same plane. Enjoy your new machine!

    L2501 back hoe

    I have done it with my B2620, which to this point have not found it necessary to counter weight. I have a mechanical thumb, which is not as convenient as a hydraulic thumb as you have to get off to adjust the thumb for different shapes of objects or they way they lay. Have fun with your new...

    Getting ready for the warmer weather, and working out my custom 3pt forks, sure smells like whisky around here!

    B2601 and Uhaul Trailers

    When I purchased my used B2620 with Bh I had to rent a car carrier because the open trailer uhaul rental in the area were only for local trips, meaning that it had to be returned to the same outlet as picked up. The tractor was located about 100 miles away and I was not sure I was going to...

    Is this a fair price?

    I have a B2620 w/o ssqa, there is not much adjustment but I think I could modify that, thanks for the input.

    B3200 Tractor/Backhoe Swivel Seat Replacement

    I believe that switch is also in the circuit that allows the PTO to operate if you are dismounted from the tractor, operating a chipper for example. Something to consider.

    Stupid PTO question

    On steep slopes that I have to mow by backing up, no access from the top, I will rise the mower until I get to the top of the slope and then lower it to the mowing position and go down the slope. Otherwise the back of the mower has a tendency to dig into the bottom of the slope. I do not...

    Radiator indicator light is on but radiator is full; what is going on?

    I don't know your particular tractor, but these lights would typically indicate an overheating engine, which, one cause would a loss of cooling fluid. But you say its full. So maybe your radiator is clogged, bad water pump or ?

    Loader Bucket On The 3PH?

    I made a custom 3pt pallet fork set up for my B2620 which works just fine with a couple of drawbacks. You can only lift your load a couple of feet off the ground. You have to be looking over your shoulder while using it unless you are just transporting the load. That being said, a bucket on...

    Adding Rear Remotes if You Have a Backhoe

    I was thinking the same on my B2620, however there is a latch that holds the 3pt hitch lever in the down position when the BH is on. The owners manual indicates that damage could occur if the 3pt hitch is not locked out. So on mine I would not be able to use a remote with a 3pt implement that...

    Check your splines!

    Geohorn and BruceP you nailed it! :) Your post very much makes sense and after spending 3/4 of a day and driving over 100 miles, the second dealership I went to told me this spline is not broken, it is missing to act as a key. The drive shaft end to which it mates to has a bur on the end (I...

    Check your splines!

    Putting my B2620 back together and the mid front axel drive U joint line would not go onto its drive shaft. A closer look reveled this! Cost of a new U Joint $130 o_O cost of further damage o_Oo_Oo_Oo_Oo_O.
