I had an 850 for 27 years. The “flower” shaped knob is the rate of drop for the three point. The lever you are referring to is the draft (at least according to the owner’s manual I had)

I would suspect the cable at the ground point is corroded.

Been making custard from extra eggs for 40 years. Never boiled it, always baked it for 1.5 hours at 350 degrees. Always came out great.

I must be doing something wrong. I put them on a couple of years ago. I switch from grader blade to rake to draw bar with trailer ball, honestly within less than a minute. I don’t have any problem. I think their great.

It depends. I have the same tractor with fluid in the tires, and a grader blade on the back. I can tell you from experience, pulling out a pickup, if at full pto rpm, in low range, chains on the tires, my tires will start to spin if I slowly engage the pedal, unless the truck is slowly driving...

I have a Kioti 2610 hst. I use two cutting edges. The tooth edge works good for roots, stones, compost. For everything else the smooth cutting edge is much easier to use.

I have a CK2610HST. My glow plug light comes on when I turn the key to the right and goes off depending upon the ambient temperature. It also comes on when I turn the key to the left. Purchased new, worked the same since delivered.

I think you have a valid concern, and in my opinion, appropriate response. I do most of my repair and maintenance work, but would never consider breaking a tractor to replace the clutch. However you are using it, it is not working for you. I would determine exactly whether or not an HST would...

I just checked my machine to be sure, there is a valve to help prime the filter, but I can find no shut off. Thank you for replying. I wanted to know if there was a reason there was no shut off before I put one in. I still have to find the ID before order one.

Has anyone installed a manual fuel shut off in the fuel line just before the filter ? I would think this would be easier than putting a clamp on the line when changing the filter.

From what I can see by websites and tractor data, I’m not sure you are comparing apples to apples. While I think I got a good deal on my Kioti ck2610 HST, and am very happy with it, the Massey you are quoting seems to have more weight, larger wheels larger bucket, perhaps more differences.

Purchased a new X310 with 42" mower and front snowblower last fall. I didn't purchase the cab enclosure, as I have an 850 with FEL. That I've used for 25 years moving snow, and that is an open station. However, last winter in the NE was unbelievable and the X310 performed admirably, after...
