Hi Mark, I might have called it by the wrong name, I was referring to the shaft from the bush hog to the tractor, I had also bought a 5 foot bush hog and I now understand that the 2610 will pull a 6 foot, I think I understood that the shaft was for a 4 foot hog????, /forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif I also think the hinomoto arms are shorter than the yanmar, I think they gave me a shorter one for the hinomoto. anyway I got the right one and still haven't got to try out the 2610. maybe time will let me this week.Thanks again Robert
