My dealer says it does not apply but I would like to read it for myself. He is encouraging me to use my KTAC. How do I get a TSB?

That is terrific news I will call the dealer tomorrow!

Sorry, that was a typo on my part. The loader is a LA 435.

That’s the crazy thing and the point of failure is that there are no pins just a collar. If I keep this tractor I will figure out how to pin the loader because this failure was too dangerous.

KTAC now says they will pay for 65% of my 53 hr loader because the price has gone up from $3000 to $4900 and they only insure at the original price.

I did not remove the loader frame. In all honesty I would be happy if I could convince myself that I did something moronic then I could trust the replacement. The LA 495 does not use pins. My old Massey Ferguson had pins as did my B2150 which are a tried and true method but not an option on...

So the good news is that no one got hurt. The bad news is that the loader is racked and the cause is a mystery. I mowed before I went on vacation. I am too lazy to take the loader off so I just drop the bucket. Came back 10 days later and the yard looks like a jungle and the driveway is washed...

I come from a 3 generation Massey family but made the jump to orange because of the dealer. Never thought supply chain would be such an issue.

I bought a new B2601 last September with a mid mount deck in addition to loader and third function with grapple. The tractor has been great but the dealer tells me the mid mount mower is still on back order. I downsized from a B2501 to get the mowing deck and the quick attach. Anyone else having...

I have the factory third function with the two buttons on the front side of the loader joystick where I hit them all the time. I thought I would get used to them but I don’t seem to be getting any smarter. Has anyone seen a thumb switch third function?

I have used both belly and 3 point mowers on other tractors. I get the annoyances and benefits of the two types. My question is this: I have a really soft yard. Which is less likely to tear up the turf when turning? Has anyone tried both on the B2601?

PJRAM, That is perfect. Never occurred to me to put my quick attach forks etc on the second level. The roll up tarp curtain is a nice touch too. I knew this was the right place to ask. Thank you!

I don’t like leaving implements outside if I can help it. My too small tractor shed is full of tractor. I am envisioning a low slant roof on the outside that I can just drive up to. Any suggestions would be welcome!

To me the salesperson is the dealer’s representative. I don’t distinguish.

Does this sound right? The dealer service manager is telling me that he cannot get a new B2150 steering box or rebuild the existing one to stop the leaking. He further tells me that he cannot repair the gear box on the mowing deck which had a catastrophic failure also because parts are not...
