I just bought a 4', 13lb pry bar that helps a lot. My neck does not bend like it used to, so I also mounted a camera looking straight down from my canopy. With it I can usually line things up pretty well. Generally the tiller, bush hog and ballast block are a bear. You really don't get...

This should be quick work for your dealer's Parts Dept. Are the shaft splines still OK?

30 miles is not that big a deal. And it is still local economy. $800 will buy a nice implement.

Check the transmission oil level - it is a common reservoir for the hydraulics as well. Check the hydraulic oil filter. If this tractor is new-to-you, there could possibly be a complete mis-adjustment of the 3ph arm feedback. It is usually external, located by where the lift arm attaches to...

I put a power outlet on the tractor, and got a 25 gal trailer sprayer, with a 5' boom - does a 7' swath. About $250, if I remember correctly. It does fine. Wouldn't hurt if it was 50 gal, though. They didn't cost much more. On level ground like lawn we can pull it with the riding lawn...

So now everyone is going to want to go hunting, and you'll just want to play on your tractor! What kind of deal is that? You will love it...

It's going to be a rough week and a half... Looks sort of small without the jewelry.

I mis-understood the way the $3000 went. Still, I'd get the L4600. I'm sure you will be happy to miss whatever the new line does to your tractor.

Simple answer is NO. The fluid can get dirty, but the filter should take care of that. The dirt can mess up the valves. Simplest test of them is to pick up a load, and let go of the handle. The loader should maintain the position - not bleed off. Get a 0-5000lb pressure gauge and check the...

The L4600 is proven OK, and you'll have that $3000 to buy a nice implement....

Dayum! I wish I was faster with the reply key...

Sounds like the PTO switch itself is bad, since you've checked all of the wiring. Put an ohm meter on the switch contacts and see if it is working.

That looks like a primo machine! What do you do with a 3 bin bagger? Sounds like a nightmare to me... Isn't a single big one better? Please do send that 50 hr report...

Look up excavator or mini excavator on ebay, and you will find a lot for comparison. 750 hrs in 5 years was probably rental service - 6hrs/day, 5 days a week for 25 weeks. Close to new. Your dealer does not want to lose your good faith. The first mini I saw on ebay was a bobcat with 6000+...

I'm glad you have not allowed this to make you bitter!

WOW! Great story. Enjoy using that - you'll be thinking about him every time you do!

Thanks for the input. I've purchased several items from them, where their price plus shipping was still way better than my local options.

Take off the FEL, and try it again. I imagine the FEL with bucket weighs about 1000lbs, with its CG well forward of the front axle. It is probably making the rear axle light by 600-700lbs. So most of the traction is in the front wheels. The rear end will slide around and spin quite easily...

I have a Cub Cadet zero-turn with a steering wheel, that I use for about an acre of actual lawn. It is amazing going around flower beds, trees, rocks and the like. At the 5 year point, no failures. I don't believe you will be able to get really close as easily with the B. A zero-turn would...

I do not believe you are hurting anything to run implements at rated RPM. The tractor is built to run at rated all day long. The implements are designed for that speed. The mower blade tip speed determines the quality and ease of the cut. As you said, you get a cleaner cut at rated. I use...
