Dealer called me - tractor's fixed. They said the fuel pump was indeed the issue. They're bringing it back to me tomorrow. They said no charge, it's a brand new machine and it shouldn't have happened. Very happy with them so far between sales and how they dealt with this issue.

My serial number ends in Hxxxx, not a 5-digit number. I'm guessing that's because they passed the 99999 number and had to start using letters and my machine has the revised part? I only bought it a few months ago and it looks like the manufacture year was 2022.

MA does that. The value they use is typically way under book value, though - particularly after the first couple years. They take MSRP and depreciate it by a set percentage. Year 2 is 60%, 3 is 40, then 25, then 10. So, after 5 years you could have a vehicle that was originally 75k but in...

I had a 2011 Tacoma 4.0 - TRD Sport Double Cab 6 ft bed - for quite a while. I towed at its limits a few times (~6000-6500 lbs) and it did better than expected for its size and power. It might still be my favorite all around vehicle. The only thing I recall really disliking was the seating...

MA is super easy to register as homemade, basically no questions asked up to 3k. Past that and there is a one time inspection. No trailer inspection here on mass produced trailers unless the GVWR is over 10k.

That's what I have. Been using it since I got the tractor.

I don't get any reduced flow from the tank side of the filter. I get really strong flow from the line going into the pump from the tank (past the first filter), and if I reconnect the line and disconnect from the outlet side of the pump it's also as strong as I would expect it to be from the...

Dealer says mine is the next machine to go in, so I'm hoping I have it back toward the end of next week. Figures it'd have a failure during a really busy time of year for them. Meanwhile, I used my little electric Makita pushmower to do the lawn because it was getting high again. I only have...

I pay more to register my trailer than my truck. $120/year for a small car hauler - 6000 lb GVW. Truck is $100 for two years and that's only because I have special plates and $40 of that is a charity contribution. Normal plates are $60 for two years in MA.

I ordered one of these today. Website says 4-6 week lead time, but I'm excited to get it. I'll update with my thoughts when it arrives.

Bleeding it worked. It starts and runs again - idles fine, got the deck and loader up. If you increase the throttle, you can tell it isn't quite right - it's kind of lazy to increase RPMs and such. At least it's good enough for the dealer to more easily load it. The guy who helped me with it...

If I were actually replacing the pump, I would. Dropping it was good enough to get at the lines and electrical connection at least to make sure it wasn't a blockage. I am at about 11. Fortunately, it only started acting up at the very end of my project today, so it didn't really cause any...

Awesome, might give this a try. I have the mowing deck all the way down because I needed space to access the pump and fuel lines and now I have no way to raise it. If I can get it to run, I can at least do that.

Thanks for confirming my thinking is probably right. Thinking back, it seemed to start sputtering and acting weird after spurts of higher demand use - I was using the loader to get a bunch of crushed stone for an old shed pad off the lawn. First time it acted up was when I was dumping that and...

Found this - seems like my exact situation. For him it was the fuel pump and it went bad in 50 hours. So, I guess it isn't unheard of:

I would bring it, but now with no ability for it to move on its own power I don't have a good way to get it onto my trailer. So, if they charge a bit I don't have an issue with it. I was going to check voltage to the pump, but the plug was stubborn and I figured it doesn't really give me any...

Hi All, This machine is only a few months old. Today I was using it and noticed it would randomly start sputtering and RPMs would drop significantly. Then it would start behaving properly again. I was trying to determine a pattern to this behavior, but wasn't able to. I noticed when I turn...

Got the tractor back up the hill with my friend's help (and his ATV). Just pulled very gently and after a few feet of help, the tractor climbed the rest effortlessly. Pulled the FEL today to try out the MMM since the grass grew just enough to be able to actually see where I cut. It cuts...

I find the Pro Trailer Backup confuses me more than anything. I am used to counter steering to backup a trailer so turning a knob in the direction I want the trailer to go throws me off. I did get my trailer configured with the new truck just because it already has the sticker, but I probably...

My F150 factory controller has "Brake Effort" low/medium/high as well as the normal 0-10 adjustment.
