    Price Check  3750 Quality and Price

    Neighbor has one that may be available, wondering how robust they are long-term and what a fair price is. It's about 15 years old, 2300 hours and has been used bigtime--all farm work. Looks rough, but likely well maintained. Finally got to look at it, and was surprised how BIG the thing...

    50 hour service--oil slick

    Well, still washing the fluids out of my hair after the 50 hr service on my B2710. A little disappointed with the location of the drain plugs. Overall I feel the machine is dessigned extremely well, but they need to spend more time thinking about service-ability. The engine oil plugs drop...

    Mowing  Mowing in High Range: Why Not ??

    Have the B2710, with 72" belly mower. Manual says do not mow in high, curious why not. Some straight-aways are awefully tempting. Wondering if it's due to quality of cut (grass springs back from under the tires to slowly to cut evenly), or due to internals of the hydro. Insights...

    Gophers

    Help. Now that the snow has melted found I have some of the nastiest little guys in years. Previously would get a handful of exit holes--simply drove over them and went about my way. This time, have networks of tunnels just a couple inches below grade. They have to go! Not even sure what...

    3000 Posts ??

    While checking-out the new 'profile' hot button, happened on to Bird's profile. Incredible to see he recently passed the 3000 post milestone?? Let's see, at my rate over the past year it will take me about 25 years to catch him--assuming he stops now! My sincere thanks for all the great...

    B2710 Trans is Shot

    Just found out they have to replace the hydro on my 2000 B2710, 53 hours total use--I'm just sick. They say the tractor basically gets dismantled and reassembled--don't even want it back. After 2 hours from fluid/filter changes the filter and screens have brass and steel in them. While the...

    Howard Rotovator Tiller

    Just purchased one, guess about 15 years old. It's rather small, about 30" and mounts offset to one side. Wondering where I might find a manual for it, and if parts are likely available. Any help appreciated. Also, any issues/concerns with the offset mounting (and hence side loading) of...
