I'm impressed with the custom winter fronts you make!
I have a 2014 B2650. I bought it in the spring of 2019.
It was still brand new. Poor fella bought it, put 12 hours on it planting some trees then, unfortunately, he passed away. His widow had it in their heated garage for 5 years before deciding to sell it. I'm about to hit the 200-hour mark now. I put some time into it during the summer. I have 3 acres, my dad has 2 acres and I have done custom tilling for gardens.
I've been pushing snow with it this winter and I find it struggles to keep the temp above the bottom mark on the gauge. Just as you mentioned.
Are you still making these? Could you PM me a price or email me at

connecting the flail to my QH was super simple. I used a pair of leaf spring shackle plates and one extra pin. Let me describe, and I can text you a photo if needed.
the plates are 3/8” x 2” flat bar. 6” long, with 3/4” holes 4.5” apart.
min top of the QH, where it pins to the tractor top link, put a plate on the outside of the QH pin hole. Both sides! Like a washer under the pin head and just in from the clip! You may need a slightly longer pin for the top link/QH connection. These plates will extend rear-ward and line up with the slotted hole on the flail. Easy as pie.
I leave the shackle plates on the AH all the time. They just rest there when I’m not using the flail, and don’t interfere with any other functions.
I’m not on OTT much, so shoot me a text if you’d like a couple photos.
