    B2601 rear tire full of hydraulic fluid?

    Here's a sample of it. Pretty sure it's beet juice. This is the same sample after diluting it with water. Not hydraulic fluid.

    B2601 rear tire full of hydraulic fluid?

    Way too much for that. Thinking it's some sort of ballast as the other tire has it in it, too. I'll call the dealer on Monday and see if I can get the scoop.

    B2601 rear tire full of hydraulic fluid?

    Well, checked the other tires valve stem at 3:00 and it's got fluid in it too. So must be either the factory or the dealer put some sort of ballast in it. It's clear and has an oily consistency. Thoughts to what it might be? Might see if I can get some into a jar and add some water to it to...

    Got a dumb question. I have a B2601. The three-point hitch lift only seems to engage when the lever is in top of its range (7-8). I've had it for a couple of years and I don't remember it having that much 'slop'. I've got a box blade on it now, but I seem to remember it doing it with the...

    B2601/LA434 Quick Coupler Leaking

    B2601/LA435 Quick Coupler Leaking Got a new tractor a few weeks ago. 2+ hours on it. Checked the fluids and found the transmission really low. Then saw a puddle of hydraulic fluid under the right side. Looks to be coming from the bottom of the Quick Coupler. Top of it where the FEL hoses...

    Thought backing up a flail mower was a no-no

    Got a Del Morino 52" coming on Monday. Been poking around and found this: Skip to about 45 seconds in and you'll see the guy operating the mower in reverse. Have I read things wrong? Thought it was recommended to not run it while reversing. Gonna be mowing in a forest of Doug fir...

    What size box scraper for B2601?

    Title pretty much says it all. Picked up a new B2601 w/loader over the holidays. Need a box scraper for driveway maintenance. About, say, 700 feet. What would be the optimum size? Thanks, -Steve
