    FEL bucket not level (Horizontally)

    I have a different FEL version (mine doesn't have that locking pin). But I will look for any movement between the frame mount and where they attach to the frame

    FEL bucket not level (Horizontally)

    Is this something you care about? that is... is it even worth looking at fixing? I'm on the fence on this. If I take it up with the dealer, its going to cost me to truck it into them to assess it Then it will be whether they say its a mfg/ setup issue issue, or something I did. Right now, its...

    FEL bucket not level (Horizontally)

    I put a 4' level on it.. noting the bubble positions. With the bucket lowered (on ground).. they are very close. When the bucket is raised, it goes out of level noticeably at the top pivot point nearest to operators platform. This is where it pivots on the frame bracket. One side moves higher...

    FEL bucket not level (Horizontally)

    Interesting.. I took a look at the brush guard yesterday.. it's definately level with the frame, but looks a bit off vs the hood (looking from the front to back, independent of the bucket)

    FEL bucket not level (Horizontally)

    It's new. Unfortunately I don't have any concrete to park it on. I think i will contact the dealer.... it doesn't seem like something that I can adjust or fix on my own (especially since I'm working on gravel or dirt parking).

    FEL bucket not level (Horizontally)

    I have not taken a level to it yet. I notice visually the out of level when I raise the bucket, vs the brush guard. Tire pressure is OK (front and back are all at correct/same levels). One difficulty is that I have no level ground or concrete pad to park on, as a reference point. I will...

    FEL bucket not level (Horizontally)

    I've had this CK2620 for only 15 hours, I noticed yesterday that the bucket is not level, its higher ~ 1" on one side. I'm not doing any super severe work with it, don't recall any operation that would have pushed it this way... nonetheless, this is what it is now. Could the arm hydraulics be...

    Purchasing a new CK2620HST - model year matter?

    Thanks! Yes ordered with the rear remotes. I did not get the 3rd function... I know its easier to get now, but I just don't see a need for a grapple on my property/tasks. And got the floor mat :)

    Purchasing a new CK2620HST - model year matter?

    Well folks.... my dealer is OOS, so just put in my order for a new CK2620HST on Friday!:) Now spending the weekend studying the Owners Manual .pdf (which probably sb titled "Your New Tractor and How It Can Kill You"). But seriously though... even though a lot seems like common sense, Safe...

    Purchasing a new CK2620HST - model year matter?

    I did take it for a quick spin around the yard (in addition to a CX2510). The CK felt much more like a "real tractor"... almost too big. But very comfortable in terms of the controls and operation.

    Purchasing a new CK2620HST - model year matter?

    Yes...thanks, I will make sure to double check hours. I would want it to have almost nothing if it was a demo unit on the lot.

    Purchasing a new CK2620HST - model year matter?

    So I am getting closer to purchase of this new CK. Just wondering if I should care about the model year... if the dealer only has a '23 or '24 in stock, does it matter? Has there been any major changes/upgrades over the last few years? And another newbie question. So when I was out shopping, I...

    Small Tractor reco - Primarily for snowblowing long drive

    Thank-you for this! I will need some strategy once the time comes.... its a learning curve up from a walkbehind snowblower and a short driveway. One good thing is that the drive is 99% open field from the house to the road, there is lots of room to throw off the snow to each side. Fortunately...

    Small Tractor reco - Primarily for snowblowing long drive

    Nope. That will be next winter.... and it will have to do. I didn't have the budget to go anything bigger. Understand, I will not be letting 2' of snow accumulate before clearing.... I'll be retired and that will be my only job... I can go out every hour if needed lol!!

    Small Tractor reco - Primarily for snowblowing long drive

    Just to wrap this up.... We've purchased a JD x570 with the 44" snowblower attachment. Will likely get an electric lift kit as well.... that sucker is Heavy!

    Small Tractor reco - Primarily for snowblowing long drive

    I was wondering about this.... I think the area is subject to lake effect snow, so I'm sure we will get dumps in the 24"+ on occasion. Interestingly... I spoke with the current owner.. he's in his 70's and does it with a walk behind snowblower (not sure of the model, but its a 40" cut, so he...

    I'll check that sort of config as well. It might make more sense to have that, and a separate mower.

    Small Tractor reco - Primarily for snowblowing long drive

    Yes... thats correct. There are 60 acres, but will be renting that out for someone with real farming equipment. Thanks for the suggestions! I will check out around th 26hp mark and that Kubota model

    Small Tractor reco - Primarily for snowblowing long drive

    Good questions! I want a groomed lawn.. likely will be a mixture including kentucky bluegrass (typical for the area). The lawn footprint is pretty much just a square box right now and open... but those are good points about the weight of the machine vs. the soil. Right now I don't have a good...

    Small Tractor reco - Primarily for snowblowing long drive

    The part I would be using the tractor on would only be a couple acres... Move move soil/ firewood (ie tow a bin), Mow lawn (if an attachment is possible). Not sure of the annual snowfall, but expect it to have some significant falls during the winter (Possible for 50+cm at at a time. Given...

So I'm going to watch this message thread for answers! I expect with the right tractor/snowblower combo, it...

    Small Tractor reco - Primarily for snowblowing long drive

    It looks like I will be moving to a farm in December (fingers crossed). The drive to the house is about 500m(canuck measure) or 0.3 miles(freedom units). I want to get a small tractor that will be multipurpose, but #1 job would be to clear the drive in the winter. What are some good ones to look...
