Early report on my 6284

GrayBeard · Dec 11, 2005

I've got about 25 hrs. and so far so good /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif
I had a couple minor problems while "trying" the tractor out but they were handled by the Dlr.
-The 6284 seems to start well in cold temps. (10-20 degrees) but I do have a heater and battery tender on it.
-I like the Cat/ Prekins engine. At 28 hp. , it seem as though it's got good power.
- The tractor in general is quieter(hydro) than my 7264 was. I think they've put in a little more refined "drive shaft system", maybe that's it.
-The steering seems smoother as well.
-Fuel consumption is about the same as the 26 hp. Daihatsu (7264)
-One of the negatives is there are no rear work lights from the factory. I know, I already put them on but the other tractor had 'em and they were nice.
-I'll see how it handles my hoe this spring ( I'm in the snow removal "mode" now) but it does well with the loader and snow.
To close, in the few hrs. so far it has done fine. Looking forward to many more.

Any chance you have a few pictures to post?
Glad it's working out for you.

Is the hoe off your old Cub?

Thanks,
Curt

Yes , the hoe is from the "old" tractor. It fits right up.
I'd love to post some pics. but must admit that my skills are quite lacking in that department /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif (I gotta learn to do that)
I may be able to email you one.( I can do that)
You may "publish" it if you wish ?
Thanks, GrayBeard
