Breaking in new B2650HST

[Stradbash]

There is no way one of those fittings should have loosened up during transport!

Yes I would think the same. Am using the hoe now and just the tiniest bit of wetness from the fitting... but I did tighten it up quite a bit.
Any worries about over tightening that fitting?
Also is there an O ring in those fittings or just tapered like a brake line? Am new to the hydraulic tractor deal... but am liking it... Lol

Dam, now you gotta shell out for another one.

Lol... I will be on the little John Deere 425 with the wagon getting rid of the trees... lol

Sure did a number on the 2 little Cottonwoods. I think I will be getting a lot of use out this one.

Been running the rpm's about 2000ish when using the hoe and seems pretty good. If anyone else has experience on close to the same machine always appreciate anything else to watch out for.

Nice machine, so far mine has been great. I got mine last November so no real time to break it in before using the front blower. Dealer said warm it up good and use it like normal, no oil consumption. Only other thing I can think of is look things over often, I don't blame my dealer for things being a little loose. They tend to be a little conservative on tightness of fittings and such... Enjoy that machine
