    CL bargain, it's a 4018 model

    I like how they even give it a female gmail address to make it seem like a widow that doesnt know any better....just bad. Aww post already flagged for removal ;)

    B vs BX Series

    All great reasons. Just dont get yourself in the same boat with a B vs an L :) For me the only reason not to go L is maneuverability. If you can still get around everywhere you need with an L...why not?

    New L2501 next week

    Forks are awesome. Read the manual. For instance mine doesn't want the operator to max engine RPM until 50 hours. If you run all work lights you should be at 2200RPM or greater....little things like that. Get a daily checklist together that you will actually do. Radiator grill, quick...

    Somewhat Disappointed With The FEL

    You all will have to forgive Mike...he has a machine that lifts as much as a skid steer. Our machines are built precisely for this. After using a typical CUT then moving to a TLB of this size there is no comparison. That said, I still think you should get the FEL hydraulic pressure...

    B2601 how much ballast?

    Heavy rear blade is where I would spend my money. So many uses. In the winter, you can blade or back drag snow. I am planning on just the front bucket and the rear blade. We will see how it goes!

    worklights

    This is my next mini project for the M62. I am going to replace front and rear lights with LEDs. Next time I am at the property I will get the measurements for the brackets.

    Why do you want to move up to the B?

    Really annoyed, more dealer headaches

    Glad to hear you kept it cool and hopefully have a tractor soon! I do like that B2650!

    Does anyone have a B2601 with a backhoe and 3rd function vlv??

    Re: HELP Anyone have a B2601 with a backhoe and 3rd function vlv?? Dealer needs to make good on their oversite. If you lost rear hydraulics it likely means they diverted your rear BH valves to the 3rd fxn. Can you see any BH hoses unplugged or in line with a diverted on a hose going up to the FEL?

    What grapple are you using on your B2650?

    I like EA for the smaller tractors because they balance strength and weight very well.....if you can wait a few months for it.

    Loaded tires vs ballast box vs neither

    What about wheel weights? They would be easy to take on and off. That said probably a home made ballast box would be the cheapest and easiest way to add considerable weight. R4s are not great on side slopes in the ice. The way the tread patterns are laid out, they are almost like skates...

    How to tell if dealer filled rear tires?

    If the dealer did it correctly they should fix them to about 75% (ie 2 and 10 o clock). So if you open the needle at any lower spot in the wheel rotation (say 3 or 4 o'clock) it should flow fluid not air. if air, then you have no fluid.

    Float mode... to use or not?

    I only have a few hours on mine and already lost a water bottle. I can see why everyone wants a tool box!

    Mx4800 vs 5200

    I did a bunch of research on turbos before my purchase, because I really need one at my altitude. The feedback I received is they are a non issue. Think of them like any other part on the tractor. Anything "can" go bad but probably never will. Turbos are quite pervasive in heavy machinery...

    B vs BX Series

    Yes I have watched his channel for some time. Very well done. He isn't afraid to show he is learning like the rest of us, and share his journey. If I were mowing anything I would probably feel differently (as you do). If I had to only pick one tractor I would also probably pick differently...

    B vs BX Series

    For the the BX would help get much closer to the things I can't do right around the house, such as lifting firewood, moving smaller rocks, building walking trails...the small stuff. The stuff you cant get a larger machine in to do. I love how small it is and how easy it is to get on/off...

    Kx121-3 vs kx033-4

    What tasks are you using the mini ex for? Also just a suggestion to be sure on the trailer/tow weights. if the 033 is 7900# + fluids + bucket that might be 8500# If trailer is 9900# GVWR you have to include weight of trailer. So you could only have a 1400# trailer. Just an example you will...

    B2650 Finalizing Build

    I love the B2650, drove it around for about 1/2 an hour. Very smooth operation. You will be happy with this machine as long as it has the weight and power to perform your tasks! Bucket - if the light material bucket is the same steel thickness as the 54, it will be heavier and therefore you...

    B2650 Finalizing Build

    I agree. New is new. A few of those scrapes could be forgiven, but the big gouge on the BB arms is more than I would shrug off. A discount is in order, or they can give you another that isn't marred up for the the new price.
