I did see a B3300SU while I was there and wow are the tires bigger on that sucker! I saw it at a distance and hmmmmm maybe someday I'll need a bigger tractor. I walk over and I was surprised to see the model.

That's basically an older B3200 but with bigger tires, no mid-pto, and a couple other tweaks that made the B3300 "special utility" package.

The new B3350/B3350SU, which is the same chassis/body as your 2650, has those bigger tires as an option. I'm sure they'd mount on a 2650 if you have tire envy..... ;)

I'd have liked to get the 3350, but after owning this tractor for a little while I don't think I really need the extra HP. The only thing I've noticed is when pulling onto the road to head a couple houses down to help a friend - I would accelerate with the HST pedal while increasing RPM's to get up to speed and it was slow to bring RPMs up. Simple solution is to just rev it up then start going. I'm sure the extra HP would eliminate that. But as far as hydraulic capability goes, this 26HP model is just as capable, and I need the loader function more so than PTO power.

And as far as tire envy goes, yes, it looks pretty cool. But, I'm not willing to make that explanation to the wife - she doesn't have tire envy LOL

Blew a hydraulic hose yesterday. Picked up a hose and scrambled for fittings today but it's an odd size so back to the dealer it goes tomorrow!

A hose on the loader?

Yep, red line. Loader tilt back function apparently. Quick coupler threads onto the fitting crimped onto the hose - hose blew out right at the crimp. Dealer has been awesome, dropped off this morning and got a call before lunch saying it was ready. It was one of the hoses they replaced when it was in last week for the chaffing through. Must have just been a defective part.

So maybe when I pick it up this time I'll remember to grab some pics of the affected areas from earlier. And also the PTO setup, I'm curious how many other models/brands out there have the dipstick so close to the PTO shaft.....

It's been over a month and I haven't got any pics up yet that I've talked about, sorry about that! I've been really busy at work and at home, got a lot to do here before it starts getting too much colder at night so I haven't had much time for playing around. Hopefully I can steal a few minutes and get them taken and posted soon.

The tractor is now at 70 hours, did the first fluid/filter change at 62 hours. It was simple enough to do. The hours are flying by on this thing, it seems like I grease it all the time. Some of the grease fittings really don't need to be hit every 10 hours like it says, there's just not enough movement in some places, but it gets a little hit anyway. I really should be taking a lot of before pictures of what I'm working on.

I did actually get one pic taken, let's see if I can find it..... Made a slight mod on the tractor that should be good for about 5-10HP!!!! LOL

And one other thing - has anybody else noticed their steering wheel kinda floating? Mine doesn't seem to be oriented the same was when the wheels are straight. I'll notice the spinner is in a different spot after a while when going straight. Sometimes its at 2 o'clock, sometimes 7, or 11, who knows where it will end up. Is this common? Or is something not tight?

Your spinner is installed wrong. It should go on one of the three "spokes" of the steering wheel. The black rubber side goes toward the center to make it level. The metal tab side lays flat on the wheel. You can flip over the black rubber part to vary the thickness and angle to match your steering wheel.

And it's the wrong color...

I've never had one before, and this came with no instructions :( That seemed to be the only logical fit for it there. I'll give it another try this weekend, hopefully get it installed right so I stop hitting my leg when I spin the wheel :)

And I thought the color was what added the HP? Like putting Monster stickers on your snowmobile was good for 10+/-?
