Got a 2610h two weeks ago. Very happy with the tractor so far. I have two friends with Bransons who are very happy with them. I had been looking for a 2400h, but they are hard to come by around here. Stopped by the local dealer, and they had just put the 2610 on the lot that morning. It is...

I am really feeling that I am having a bonehead moment. The hood on my 1433 will not unlock to raise. I can pull, push, tug, and yank on the lever and it will not unlatch so I can raise it. I am going to look at the manual again, and the tractor again. The frustration level is high!!! I...

Does any have, or had, the brush guard weight rack, w/o FEL, on their 1433/1533? I bought one with weights, but the rack is so close the the hood, I can't get the weights on. The brush guard/rack is mounted directly to the frame, should there be a bumper or spacer between the frame and the...

Why do some tractors have a vertical exhaust and others, like my 1433v, have it horizontal?

I am using a yard/landscape rake to prepare ground for seeding. I have bush hogged the area and now am using the yard rake to tear up the roots of the underbrush. The rake has several adjustments, which is what my questions are about. Does adjusting the angle of the rake help? Also when...

Are there limitations turning when FWD is engaged? Can I turn the front wheels all the way without concern?

I am looking to get a used sickle bar mower to keep the sides of a drainage ditch clean. With a seven foot I will be able to get both sides at the same time. I do not have rear remotes. What do I need to look at when inspecting a used sickle bar mower? (i.e. common problems, breakage points...

Can my 1433 pull a two-bottom plow? I have a single now, two-bottom would make things go quicker!

Has anyone test drove a 2600 yet? On the website they look like a good no frills, get the work done tractor. I like the looks of them myself.

I was looking at the tractor the other day and noticed that the front wheels do not have the same angle on them, i.e. top a little wider than the bottom. I think this is called the "toe in"? Looking at the front of the tractor, the right wheel has more toe in, the angle from veritcal is...

A dealer in Chattanooga, TN quoted $21,300 for a 4530 with FEL and rear Hyd. Do the rear Hyd. come standard? I forgot to ask him. How is that price compare to what you all are seeing? Thanks

My friend is interested in a Yanmar that RCO has for sale on their website. I would like to hear from those of you who have purchased a tractor from RCO. Your experience with the company, quality of the tractor, follow up and support from RCO if needed. I checked an earlier post that quickly...

I am wanting to get a roto-tiller for my 1433. I have been looking at 5ft. models. Will my tractor handle a 6ft. tiller? The weight doesn't appear to be a problem, but I'm not sure about PTO/engine power when engaged with the ground. I will be tilling old and new ground.

A friend of mine is interested in one. The nearest Massey dealer is not close. I wanted to get opinions of anyone who owns or has operated one. Thanks.

I am looking at a 2000 Mule 550 2x4 with 680 hrs. It has a roof and windshield, and winch. Needs front tires. Runs good and the body is in good shape, just scratches from branches on trails. Owner is asking $3200. Is this a good price? Used UTV's are hard to find around here.
