    Piece of old oil filter gasket inside motor!

    Great. Finished 50 hour service. Started her up and let it idle. Noticed new oil filter leaking. Tightened more. Still leaking. Removed and noticed old gasket still in there. Pulled out gasket and a piece about a 1" long, 1/8" wide is missing. Looked around but saw nothing. My paranoia tells me...

    First 50 hour service overkill?

    New B2650 is ready for her 1st 50hr service. Manual states oil, oil filter, and HST filter only. I've read where others go beyond that. What's your thoughts? Also, manual isn't specific about what engine weight oil to use. I live in north florida, where cold isn't an issue. Thanks all!

    Is your FEL bucket level?

    is water safe for rims?

    Getting mixed opinions. My dealer said there's no air touching rims so no rust will take place. I live in the south so it won't freeze. Just paranoid about future damage to rims... thanks all...

    First full day on new b2650- stalled a few times

    I couldn't be more impressed with this thing... except... it stalled/shut off on me quite a few times. Hoping its operator error. I run about 1300 to 1400 rpms doing light fel work and seems fine. Then when I'm driving with load it just shuts off immediately. No bogging or warning. Just off. No...

    The l3200 or b2650 debate is over

    Struggled between the two for over 2 weeks. Plenty of pros and cons for both. I kept thinking "bigger is better", but when does the question of needing more HP stop? I'm new with the tractor world, and perhaps I underestimate the strength of 26 ponys. The final factoring point on my decision...
