You need a Problink for that pain in butt hookup

Hello Dave, I bought a used B2650 with the cab with 580 hours. Your video helped me a lot especially in locating where everything is. I'm not sure of how the previous owners did as far as maintenance goes, so I am going to do the filters as well as the fluids. So far the only issues I have found with this tractor, is the PTO display button on the dash does not display the PTO speed (Screen won't switch over) but RPM screen works, and I know the approximate RPM it should be so that's not a big deal, and it looks like the previous owner might have tweaked the front loader a bit because one side is about an inch higher than the other, but the quick attach still works, I just have to triple check that the engagement pins engage into the implements. Thank you for making this video.

I have the very same tractor, B2650 and bought the same grapple as you have 4 days ago. Good job and quite impressive how the tractor and grapple rolled the boulder. Did your grapple come with a kick stand to hold it up when not using it? Mine didn't and was wondering if one can be added.

My older unit has steering zerks (grease fittings) and front axel zerks I'll bet you have them and missed them. fyi on that oil filter you should not need a wrench after the factory (censored) install. However, butt the old oil and new filters (seal to seal) to see that the seals align, when installing screw it reverses once or twice to align it, then forward until snug, reverse screw it one turn to lube the seal contact then forward to snug, then add 1/8-1/4 turn to tighten. Airfilter ? Gas filter? No ethanol Gas! If forced to run ethanol gas run it dry before parking (many add a simple fuel shut off switch) Ethanol will draw water and clog the carburetor other wise you will need a carburetor cleaning every couple of years.

Why not just nit mow the steep sections?

Good info, i have a “60 SZ and a bastard of a time lining up the pins of the hight adj arms, already spend an entire Aft wiggling , muscling, swearing and lots of Coffee, ( maybe I’ll try a Brew?)still no success. This is what led me to your video, you make the reinstall pretty easy.Be going back to it and try again after supper. If it doesn’t work this time , I’ll commit Hara Kiri, or slit my throat, LOL. Thanks for the Video

The secret is know your area, no holes or rocks that would change the slope degree quickly.

Thanks for sharing this, very informative and helpful!

Good video, I think that's the machine for me, I sort of adopted the highway right of way that run along my property and your yard is the exact same slope, the county brush hogs it once a year and it look terrible, that CC will make it look like a lawn.

I have a SZ60 which is basically an earlier model as you have with a 60" deck. As with your home mine is built on the break of a sharp slope, too. Nothing handles like these CC's. I am sold.

Thank you for the research! Forks might have been a better choice for those rocks ;)

25 degrees on my ZTS1 46" is not an issue. It's a mountain goat.

Thanks for the video man. Super helpful.

When the leaves build up in the front, all you have to do is back up

This pretty much sold me on the Cyclone Rake. Much better design than the Gravely, Scag and DR. Thanks What level Cyclone did you buy?

Kentucky yards would destroy that machine

I have the same tires on my B2650, they have great traction in the snow and are easy on the turf too.

what did you end up paying for your B2650 with your cab and everything?

AIR CONDITIONING. GOOD HEAT .

Depends on th application, cab is good in the winter if the heater works, not so nice in the summer if the A/C is broken.

Cab!! Winter, spring, summer & fall. There’s a reason if only to help keep the dust & chemicals out of your lungs. You can put a 16 hour day in with a cab. It’s hard to do that without a cab.

No cab! I use my tractor way more in the warmer weather months. The things I do with it involve getting on and off the tractor, quite a bit. A cab is a pain for this type of work. I don't use the tractor for snowblowing enough in the winter to make the irritation of a cab in the summer worth having.

Cab in winter - sun the rest of they year

AZ no cab meskins will fuck anything up

No cab! Be like the real men! 🤣🤣 shiiiit that looks rather chilly but yeah I didn't have a cab, worked 6 years for a farmer all the old timers had the cab tractors, I told em I rather have the old timer no cab tractors... they really just don't quit.

I love my cab . . . best decision ever!

Hey Dave, I wouldn't have put it back on either out of principal!! lol The one true downfall of the front blower is the dance between the blower and the fel. Always good to try new things and fun trial. If that doesn't make you appreciate either a blade or blower nothing will. Thanks for sharing Dave,

Nice 👍🏻 😂

Cab, no question

Nice rig!! I’m having trouble with wet sticky snow clogging the chute… tried Pam but still spending more time unclogging than actually snowplowing. Any ideas?

Yep same here and no power, about to go setup the generator 👍🏻🙋🏼‍♂️

Hey Dave I have the same tractor setup here in gilmanton. I have the same problem as you as I have changed over to summer mode. And now Mother Nature is doing it to us again lol. What a weird winter you just gotta laugh 😅 happy snow removal tmrw or Friday

Probably could have figured it out on my own, but now I don't have to! Great video. Thanks!

Take it out of float when your trying to push those piles

Nice work Dave!

I'm debating if I should take my blower off, we are going to get some milder weather this week but that's the type of storm we usually get at this time of the year, we got a big one back on April 6th 2016 and I said to myself "take the blower off after April 6th" 😂. Have a great week Dave 🙋🏼‍♂

For some reason I didn't get a notification about this video. I was thinking about doing my switch over last weekend but I'm glad I held off.

PVC pipe is used for gravel driveways

If your driveway is paved why are you using the PVC pipe??

Dave! Thats bull! We got snow but it melted thankfully. But thats more than i want to see. I wouldn't be putting the blower back on my tractor out of spite!

Good Day Sir, that is an OUTSTANDING Snow tractor therapy and nice try on your item !!! Be Well Cheers !!!

Here is a tip, push your PTO engagement lever slowly and watch your PTO shaft as you do, it will engage it very slowly etc, saving that shock to your system , try it!

That made me nervous and it wasn't even my equipment! I love my 0660 Grapple and it's held up without issue. Next time you might consider jack -hammering into more than one rock.

My steiner always pushing pile of snow in front of snow blower.

Just picked up a used Z-Force to see if it works better than my ZT1 on our steep grade lake yard. It’s a 2016 with only 60 HRS on it, a little scuffed up but all in all in very good shape. Thanks for the look into the recommended service I’m looking forward to working on it once the weather warms up here in Michigan 😋

First of all too much talkin, also why would'nt you put the blower down as you come out of the garage 👎

Thank you for making this video! I've got their 8" chipper, and love it. But I was having the same issues you were with the control arm continually kicking back into neutral. That's been my only issue so far with it, otherwise it's been flawless. I didn't realize that there was a "fix" for it. I had seen other people having the same "issue" if you want to call it that on their CZcams videos, and nobody addressed it, other than to mention that theirs kicked out of gear often as well. I thought that it was just something that I was going to have to live with. I put the chipper on my larger 73HP tractor, and then park my little BX next to the large tractor, with a wagon attached to it, then I just chip into the wagon that's attached to the BX, and then go dump the chips wherever I wanted to. I was considering bungee strapping the control arm to the BX so that it would stay in the infeed position, but that didn't seem like the safest idea to me. I'm SO glad that somebody (YOU) actually had enough common sense to contact Woodland Mills about this! I'm surprised that this issue, and it's "fix" isn't addressed in their owner's manual. I would hope that they'll update the owner's manual soon so that future buyers can easily fine a remedy for the problem. I've also got their stump grinder, and like it a lot. I don't know if you have a use for a stump grinder, but it you do, I highly recommend theirs. I just found your email address on your homepage, so I'm going to email the link to that guy's video to you there.

Mowing the lawn is a chore. Blowing snow is pure fun that you pretend is a chore.

Damn, that cab is nice.

That wet snow was no match for that tractor. You did a great job cleaning your yard.
