Took on a project. With a couple hundred feed of stone driveway to rid of weeds two or three times each year, I was getting tired of the seven or eight trips it took with the two gallons hand-pump srayer. So, last year, I picked up a 15 gallon electrip sprayer made for ATVs...but I have no ATV...

I have often advocated for counting the cost of a purchase over rental price. I had given consideration to buying the backhoe attachement for my B2301, roughly $6500 when I bought the tractor. Common sense, and my own advice, prevented me from pulling the trigger on it (even though my wife made...

Remember, I said maybe... I live just a bit north and west of New York's Capital Region. This morning, driving along one state highway, I passed three dealers of compact tractors. I saw a few Yanmars at the smallest of the dealerships; there was a pretty good selection of LS on one lot that's a...

After thinking it would be a good idea, I finally have put a set of torches together, buying pieces by way of FB Marketplace and Craigs List. Once I get them all assembled, I need to get back into the groove--it's been about 35 years since I've had my hands on a torch, let alone set the...

I just made the leap and bought a brand new 2106, with a 60" drive-on mower and loader. The loader is to be delivered/installed next month. I took deliverery just the other night and got my first use of it today. The mower did a very nice job, giving me a clean cut with no problems and no...

I've got a Utica Boiler, gas fired with a power vent; it's about 10-12 years old. I'm on the 3rd vent fan assembly. The last two have failed, with either the fan itself going off line and striking the housing an impeller in the motor itself going out of whack striking the side. They go far...

I've been noticing a slight decline in the battery power over the winter when I'm not using my 6284 every few days. In the summer, I never noticed it. If it sits more than a couple weeks the battery is pretty low. I now disconnect it when it's going to be unused for more than a week, but I...

I read with interest all the threads about hard starting diesels in colder weather. Probably all CUT diesel owners do the same, wondering when they'll have the problem. I'm on my second diesel now. The first was a Bolens 15 HP which started hard until, on advice from a retired diesel...

I've got a 6284 with about 350 hours. One of my front wheels has developed a leak. There's a bit of slop in the wheel when you lift it up, too. Anybody got an idea of how big a job that will be or know where there's a service guide on-line for it? Thanks.

I know it's early, but the time to start looking is now. Was there a front-mounted snowblower made for the 6284, or similar enough to fit without problems? If so, anybody know where I might find one?

It's about that time of year again. For the last 3 years or so, beginning sometime in May, we are infested with a small brown ant (sorry, never thought to take a close-up for ID). They have confined themselves to our kitchen, but no amount of house-keeping will seem to keep them out. Various...

I recently got a Cub Cadet 6824, and before mowing I replaced the spindle belt as the one on it was a bit chewed up. About 1000 feet into my first mowing of the year, it threw the belt. I reset it, and it did it again, again and again...and once more for good measure. All that in about an...

Once again, thanks to all those who posted comments about the 6284, allowing me to research and chose this tractor. I got my "new" to me Cub Cadet 6284 home today and immediately pulled off the mower to service it. Though the tractor has 300 hours on it, I doubt that the mower has more than...

Tomorrow I'll be picking up my "new" Cub Cadet 6284. I found a lot of helpful information about the tractor here, so figured I'd join. I'm really a die-hard Farmall guy, with a love of the old cubs, but just can't keep tinkering with them and working them at the same time. I had Bolens 154...
