    Living in a suburban area, I wanted to see if anyone has installed or had experience with adding a kill switch to disable their tractor. I will be parking my 2516 outside and wondered if I needed to go the extra step of disabling it.

    Snow  snow chain modification

    I think I will be making the right decision, but would like to make sure. When putting on my snow chains, and to get them good and snug, I have to connect them past the first cross chain....so obviously too long. So I just need to cut the excess making sure they are on properly before I make and...

    Stored inside now going outside

    My 2516 is getting booted out of the semi heated garage, in favor of my wife's car...it's okay as long as I make sure I store it properly in the weather. So I am asking for tips. I want to cover it, but will a tarp be enough? I will be adding diesel additive to prevent gelling, but any other...

    Mowing  sharpening finish mower blades

    I have never been very good at sharpening mower blades. I can get them sharpened for 9.00 each times 3, but its 30 minutes each way, after removing them, and waiting a week each time. I have been looking at the dedicated machines which start at a 199.00. Just wondering if they are worth it. I...

    Commercial Diesel additive needed?

    My inexperience is showing.....With the type 2 diesel, do I need to be worried about gelling fuel? Is there an additive needed? This is almost clear fuel that I purchased from the local gas station this summer, not red ag fuel. If so, is the stuff at TSC sufficient? Thanks in advance!

    Traction  Suitcase Weights - 2516 - Securing?

    I ordered suitcase weights to offset the mower I use for cutting the field. The weights fit pretty well on the bracket, and almost line up between the predrilled holes (which I would guess is for a brush guard, but they did not come with any securing bolts and nuts, like the user manual states...

    Tractor Sizing  2516 gear and finish mower

    Got my new 2516 gear last week and finally got the 4 foot tall field cut down to size with the rough cut mower. This weekend, I hooked up the 6 foot finish mower and the field is back to normal. WOW what a job. Best seat time I have had in a long time. The 2516 is almost too small for the...
