Looking for an opinion on pricing. I bought the 7610 new from Cavalier in VA about 10 years ago, with FEL and Woods 48" box blade. I purchased a Land Pride 72" rake a few years ago locally (Southern NH). Selling all as a package. All equipment has been stored indoors. Currently 212 Hours.

Question - does a power shuttle actually somehow engage the clutch behind the scene? In other words, is the shuttle lever just an operating convenience whereby the tractor engages the clutch for you as you go from forward-reverse (though obviously the pedal doesn't move), or is the clutch...

At the bottom of every page in the footnotes in the Grand L specs is the line "Not for sale in Nebraska." What's up with that?

I thought I'd toss out a question as to what constitutes quality in tractor hydraulics. This was triggered by reading several posts recently opining that MF had "better" hydraulics. I asked about that in a recent thread, and a local (NH) dealer responded that MF runs their hydraulics at higher...

Although I have my wife's support for buying a cab tractor to replace my 7610, I'm in the still thinking about it stage because of the money involved. The current incentives make things very tempting, though! I've looked on and off at the L's - 3240 through 3940 (no bigger). I like them, and...

I just posted another thread on Kubota vs. MF, but as I was in posting mode, thought I'd pass along a recommendation for Chappell Tractor. I recently brought in my 7610 for service on the safety switches, several of which had developed intermittent problems. Anyone who's had this kind of...

Just decided to post my experience this winter. I moved from VA to NH last Fall. I finally got the tractor (B7610) trucked up here at the end of the year at a reasonable delivery price ($500 !) due to the considerable help of my local VA dealer, who also kindly stored it for me for a couple of...

Anyone know what size lug nut wrench these rims take?

Just thought I'd mention a couple of misc. uses over the last few days. The first, with a tip of the hat to another poster suggesting it, was watering a repaired and filled spot way beyond the reach of my hoses. I filled in (a bit) a swale that was a little too deep, using soil removed from my...

Hit a bump yesterday, stalled, and wouldn't re-start. I finally discovered a blown solenoid fuse, replaced it, and it promptly blew out again as soon as I hit the starter. Well, OK, I may have tried 3-4 fuses of various amperages (all equal or less than the original - even I'm not that...

Looking over the specs for 3ph spin broadcast spreaders, most advertise that they can handle sand. How about other topdressing material, like compost or even manure? Or will these only handle flowing material, even with an agitator? I'd sure like to be able to do it myself instead of...

Got myself stuck this weekend. Well, not really -stuck- so much as in a bind. I got just a little too clever for my own good backing the RFM around the telephone company box, managing to get it between the rear tire and the mower, and couldn't for the life of me maneuver out of the situation...

I went to a local dealer today to price Shindaiwa trimmers. I already had a quote in-hand from another dealer. I told him I was there to check out the dealership, then told him what I was looking at and, having visited another dealer, wanted to know his prices as well. He went back, looked...

I thought I'd post a few thoughts on things I thought mattered when shopping now that I've got a few weeks on the 7610. Horsepower - was tempted by more, but 24 hp is plenty (more than enough) for my small acreage and the size of my implements (e.g., 4' box, 5' RFM). The only time I've felt a...

Anyone know if a cover for the mid PTO is available (B7610)? Just strikes me that covering it would be better for rust protection and to keep off the dirt buildup. It doesn't look like it would take one, though. Bill

All - got to tell you, everything I hoped for in this tractor is looking good. I was targeting mowing two acres in less than an hour and a half. No problem whatsoever (60" RFM). I also find that except in rougher areas, mowing in high (not at full speed, however) works just fine. As for...

Anyone know whether EZ Weight brackets will fit over the projecting part of a B7610 axle when it's set to the narrow setting (48")? Alternatively, how wide is the tractor when the wheels are set out to the axle ends? Bill

I've been doing my homework on 20-28 HP compacts for a while now and have narrowed things down to Kubota's 7610 and the NH TC24DA. My question in this forum is NH quality. I think I've read literally every thread in the forums of the major US-sold brands (NH, Kubota, Deere, Massey, etc.), and...

I'm buying a new place with two acres - former pasture, all hill (not TOO steep), ditch in front. I'll be putting in some retaining walls, renovating at least 3/4 acre into lawn, and putting up a couple of outbuildings. No planting of any kind on the property right now, so I'll be doing that...
