    B2710 3 PH not raising

    Guys: I am having a problem with my B2710: Sunday I connected my KK bush hog to my 3 PH and lifted it off it's storage pallet. I moved it to the driveway and move the 3 PH position control valve from full up to full down, like a knucklehead. The hog came crashing down onto the driveway, and...

    First Choice Vs Kingkutter

    Now I have gone AND DONE IT...... I went and got a KingKutter 5' rotary cutter and got it home and the paint finish on this thing is a joke. Some spots have paint sags from being sprayed too heavily, while other parts are barely covered with paint. The instructions that come with it...

    OK boys: I have a firm price of around $950 for a Bush Hog SQ-600 Brush Hog and I want some opinions on whether I should go with a 60" KingKutter instead. I think the Kingkutters are around $200-300 cheaper. Does anybody out there have a KK and how well is it built and how well is it...

    What is the hydraulic Flow for 2710 ?

    I am going ahead with my threat to make a hydraulic chute rotator for my B2772 63" Front mounted blower. The kit is $595 plus tax. I have a hydraulic motor in mind. I have machined a bolt onto the worm gear and used a torque wrench to manually spin the chute. It looks like it takes about 100...

    Backhoe  The 'BEST' Backhoe

    The \'BEST\' Backhoe I'm almost afraid to ask this question, because there indeed may be no real 'right' answer, but here goes. I bought a 2710 this fall and now that tax time is over I want a backhoe. I realize that I can't have a CAT backhoe, but maybe a WOODS 7500 type/size would be...
