    Replacing auger shear bolts - B2782

    I've had my B2782 snowblower for a year now and I absolutely love having it for all the snow we have had. I seem to go thru shear bolts pretty quickly but they are doing their job (rocks, sticks, etc.). I get a bit frustrated trying to put in new shear bolts on the auger specifically, locating...

    Hard to install PTO Shaft

    I'm a noob at removing the PTO shaft for the front mount snowblower. I removed the shaft that goes from the mid-PTO to the quick hitch. I got it off just fine and was experimenting with putting it back on so I would know what do to next winter. It took almost 45 minutes to get it back on. I...

    thistle: mow or spray

    I was planning on buying a 5' rotary mower to take care of thistle in my vacant lot of about 3 acres. My tractor sales guy says I should think about a sprayer instead. Sorry if this is the wrong place to post this but I'm looking for some input. Thanks

    Removing fel - installing snowblower

    I have been plowing my driveway for the past 2 winters with the fel and a 5' rear blade on a B7800. It is taking me way too long with this setup. My driveway is dirt/gravel and about 600' long, steep in spots. I'm frustrated that I scrape up so much of the driveway until it freezes. We had...

    New Owner - B7800

    I purchased a new 7800 yesterday with the 402 FEL and a Rhino 500 rear blade. :) Out the door price was $17K and i used Kubota's 2 year, no down, no interest financing. Sweet. I considered both the 3030 and GL3240. Man, I loved the 3240 but it is just a bit too much tractor for my in the...
