In an effort to speed the warming of the hydraulic fluid before using my loader to clear snow, I have been running the mid and rear PTO while I let the engine warm up. I figure it can't really hurt since there's no load on the PTO, and that by engaging the PTO it circulates the hydro fluid and...

Here's one for you hydraulic experts out there, it relates to estimating cycle times for a log splitter run off the tractor's existing hydraulic lines-or anyhting else for that matter. If the rated flow of a tractor is listed as 6.8 GPM total, with 2.0 GPM listed as power steering capacity...

I took the plunge, traded my 2310 for a 2610. It should arrive this week, I'll post some pictures and first impressions when I get the chance. I loved my 2310 and am psyched about a new and improved tractor, can't wait to get it dirty!

Has anyone run into this? Left seal of the steering arm bushing started leaking the other day. I have about 180 hrs on the tractor. I'm out of warranty so I'm wondering if this is a do-it-yourself repair or one better left to the dealer. I'm no slouch in the mechanic department, but never...

I'm thinking of buying a 3 pt log splitter to do some seasonal splitting. Fireplace my secondary heat source, so I don't use as much wood as others do with wood stoves. After some research, the Speeco sold by TSC seems like a decent unit for the price and my needs. My main concern is that with...

Well, Mother Nature decided to take down a 60ft Spruce tree a couple weeks ago with a strong wind storm. The good news was that it fell away from the house, must have had something to do with me standing on the roots as it tipped! After giving it some time to dry out I took to it with the...

Hi all Can anyone tell me if its bad to leave the FEL in a raised position for an extended period when not using the tractor-I'm talking days at a time. Usually I take the FEL off and store it separately, but to store it indoors I have to leave it on the tractor and raised for clearance. Will...

Hello all, My 2310TLB was delivered a couple days ago and I love it. While I was deciding what to buy I read this forum a lot and picked up some great advice along the way. So thanks for all the great info. This is my first real tractor that was not a glorified lawn mower. I have wanted a...

I was mulling the same decision as you just a couple weeks ago. I went with the MF GC2310TLB for several reasons. Its all one unit, one warranty, and easy on/off for the FEL and BH. My AGCO dealer was about 30 minutes closer, but that's not enough to justify buying an inferior setup. My 2310...
