I just got my B2620 last Thursday so of course I had to play with it and get it all cleaned up over the weekend! (See my intro post if you haven't already: http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=14987 )
Saturday morning I finished trimming our big walnut tree in the back yard so I could mow under it without folding down the ROPS, and then we used the B2620 to pull down an old shed in the back yard. It was VERY rotten and the roof had already collapsed and two people could have easily pushed it over, but pulling it down with the new tractor was a whole lot more fun!
Someone at work gave me a large hook that I mounted to the drawbar, which worked perfect for hooking a tow strap onto.
We pulled the two corners loose with the tractor and then pulled one wall out and the whole shed fell in on itself and was just held up by a couple saplings growing inside of it.
Here is a short video:
After we got it pulled down we found a date inside from 1959, its a shame nobody took care of the shed because it was all framed with oak lumber.
Eventually I'd like to build a new shed here so I can store the tractor in it in the spring, summer, and fall, along with all the yard tools and such....
After we got everything cleaned up I started mowing, but I ended up getting rained out so I pulled the tractor into the garage and started cleaning it up and gave it a good waxing.
I pulled the front covers off and also the rubber floor mat:
Anyone know if there are issues with the floor boards rusting after a while? I could see them getting scratched up and salty slushy snow getting under the mat in the winter. I'm thinking of pulling the panels off and hurculiner-ing them.
I also pulled the mower deck covers off:
The next afternoon I pulled it back out and took a few pictures before I finished mowing. The grass sure blows off much easier now.....
I hope everyone else had a good weekend too.
