Anyway, i have been through the workshop manual and all...

    tractor security and dealing with possible theft.

    Not sure if this is happening over your side of the pond guys but even machines with serious chains and padlocks are not safe. It appears that liquid nitrogen is being used on security devices to makes an easy break, so that rules out chaining the tractor to bedrock with a seriously strong lock...

    B6000 questions

    Have to agree with regards to taking extra care etc when skidding, it only takes a split second to flip over. I dragged a lot of timber around with our B6000, they are very capable but you need to keep within the lifting capabilties. Golden rules to newbies is allway keep weight as low as...
