    Not sure why but it's just started working again on it's own. <sigh>

    BX 2230 3 point hitch won't raise

    Have a BX 2230, when I parked it at the end of last season the 3 point hitch was working fine. Was getting it all ready to use this season and the 3 point hitch initially would only raise very slowly (and kind of stuttering / jerky), now it won't raise at all. Hydraulic fluid is at the correct...

    Rotary Cutter Suggestions

    I've got a Rhino TW-72 rotary cutter ( I still wanna call it a bush hog ) that we've used for years on an old Long 2610 (65 HP I think ?) I've recently bought a new Yanmar EX 3200 (32 HP) and I'd like to do a little clean up on some property I got. The EX is sooooooo much easier to drive...

    Long 2610 / Odd FEL Behavior

    I've inherited a Long 2610 tractor built in the 90's. It's got a Bush Hog 2400 QT front end loader on it, and it works well ... but ONLY when the 3 point hitch control is held in the "move down" position. It appears to have been this way for a long time; my dad had that 3 point control lever...

    Need Advice on Thinning New Acreage Purchase (6 acres)

    Hi all, this is my first post here. I've just purchased 6 acres of wooded land and need to get it ready to build a shop and house on. It looks to me like one of the skid steer mulchers would be perfect for probably 90% of the job that needs to get done. I want to keep it as wooded as...
