No. These little things seem to be either under horsepowered for the size or oversized for the power.
The little loaders don't seem very heavy duty either.
Curious - what's the weight difference between this and a new LX2610?
We got a LX2610 to stay away from emissions.
My wife got it so I would have something that I wouldn't have to work on.
She likes it and likes running it. I find it about worthless.
It's either to big for the horsepower...
I had a similar issue on my 220D.
I don't know if you know or not, but the glow plugs also come on with the key in the start position.
There should be no problem using a momentary switch to engage the starter solenoid
Put at least 2 filters inline. A 20 or 30 micro. With a water trap. And finish with a 2 micron going into your equipment.
One tank I have 5 filters on. A starter, 30 micron and then 2 - 20 microns & 2 - 2 microns in parallel.
Add a lubricity additive and a big killer to every fill
For no more than I use it - about 7 days out of 10. But it may be for a few minutes or all day. - I can get buy with leaving many thousands of dollars in my pocket
Friends have also had a lot of issues with electronic controls. Especially a JCB that's a few years old owned by a local township. They've had a bunch of problems with emissions and controls. It's has a lot of downtime. No loaner to be had.
Neighbor has a Bobcat skid loader that the bucket...
Not to mention the costs added to a new purchase and all the ensuing issues related strictly to the emissions systems.
I don't know anybody that runs diesel equipment that has not had a problem.
A good sized local truck stop, that's particular about their fuel got a bad load or 2 in.
I don't remember what happened, if bio was added instead of antigel or what, but there was gelled up trucks all over the place.
It cost them a lot of business and it wasn't even their fault.
