My friend is experiencing difficulty in moving the rockshaft to raise/lower the 3 point hitch. He also feels it is not moving it's full travel. Any experience with this problem? We have removed the housing around the hydraulic valve, but haven't pinpointed a problem yet. It is just takes...
After deciding that I will drop the JD 2520 from my list due to lack of 3-range HST, I went to my Orange dealer today and drove the two B-series tractors that I've been considering; B2920 and B7800. First I drove the B2920. Nice little tractor! I did notice that the short wheelbase gave it a...
I'm about to pull the trigger on a B7800 (possibly tomorrow) and need to decide what implements I want to include besides the FEL and 72" MMM. I see there is a frame and pallet fork setup available for the 7800. For going into the woods an bringing our logs, do any of you use this setup? The...
