Has anyone else had trouble with the safety shut-off system in the 2650 (or other Kubota) Last spring I was having issues with my tractor randomly shutting off. It wasn't like a fuel or engine issue, it would just shut off, but I could immediately start it back up again. I gradually learned...

For those of you with a 2650 cab, how does the A/C hold up on a hot day while mowing with MMM? I'm thinking of trading up to a small cab tractor and would like the A/C to keep me out of the dust in summer. I saw some earlier posts about heater performance in the winter, but not much on A/C...

Friday, grass is growing, need to mow. Try to start the tractor, have to jump-start it. No biggie. Mow for about 20 minutes then the heat related problem from last year starts to appear. Turn off the PTO, throttle back and let it cool off for a minute. Turn the PTO back on - nothing...

Having trouble with the Robin again. I can mow for about 30-45 minutes with no problem, then it will start cycling or chugging (as if starving for gas). I can keep it running (barely) by turning off the PTO and pulling the choke about 1/2 to 3/4 down, going to idle, turning off the choke, and...

60\" mower question I had the blades off my mower today to sharpen them and I noticed that the center spindle is different than the two outside spindles on mine. The outside spindles have pieces between the spindle and the blade that wrap slightly around the blade, while the center spindle...

Just happened by the Power-Trac site and saw they've posted pics in the attachments section of a 4-in-1 bucket on a 400 series. Looks pretty cool. Scott

Well, my new tiller arrived yesterday afternoon, now it appears that we're going to have rain for the rest of the year. I did get a chance to try it out a little yesterday after work. It seems to pull the motor down more when backing than when going forward. After a forward pass and backword...

I'm no mechanic, never claimed to be. I'm sure there's a technical name for the problem I'm having but I call it, "engine keeps running after I turn the key off". It's not a problem if it has only been running a few minutes, it only happens after it's been running a while. I've heard when...

I have two acres of yard that has been sitting as an unfarmed field for several years. It is mostly weeds and is very rough. I had planned on having a neighbor disk it and then doing the final smoothing a prep work myself, but unfortunately when he first tried it was just too hard and dry to...

After (if?) we finally get some rain around here, I will have a friend plow and disk my lot, then use the PT to prep it for seeding. I was thinking of making a drag of some sort to pull behind my PT out of a 6 or 7 foot square of scrap chain link fence with a 4x4 on each end. I figured this...

What's your personal schedule for lubing the spindles on the mower deck? Terry at PT suggested using "high-speed" grease on the mower during my service training, but I don't recall what he said about how often I should do it. Scott

I got home with my new PT-422 on Friday after two loooong days of driving. Had other commitments on Saturday so I didn't get to use it until yesterday. I was having too much fun using it to take any pictures, but I thought I'd post some initial observations - will try to get some pics soon if...

I finally have the go-ahead from CFO to buy a PT. Here are my intentions: -PT-422 with bar tires and ROPS -60" finish mower -60" blade -bucket - If you could only have one bucket which one would it be, large or small. I'll probably get teeth either way. -box blade - maybe. I think I need one...

JD LX-188 What\'s it worth I'm getting ready to sell my JD LX-188 to buy a new <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.power-trac.com/>Power Trac</A>. I bought it in the spring of '97 and I would estimate it has 250-300 hours on it. It's in excellent condition. The local JD dealer tells me I...
