B2920 - Must have taken it's vitamins

Delphicoder · Apr 8, 2012

I am not sure what happened to my B2920 today, but good grief it was like it was on steroids or something! I was digging up stumps most of the day and it was just doing it with ease. Maybe it was because they were different types than I had been working on before, I don't know. Maybe it had spring fever.

All I know was last night I was thinking to myself that the tractor just seemed rather weak (only has ten hours on it). I had greased all the points, but that really was all I did. All week I was thinking maybe the B2920 just wasn't what I was thinking it would be, and perhaps I should have kept the BX25.

Well it must have read my mind, or maybe I just was imagining issues before. That little tractor wore me out today ha ha. It was certainly a work horse today. Probably the first few hours on it I just wasn't used to it. Maybe it had to get "broken in", not sure.

Definitely pleased with it after today though.:thumbsup:

Pics or it didn't happen !

I should have seen that one coming...

All I have is "after" pics that I just went out and took with my phone. Here they are, sorry for the bad image quality.

There are a few shots of what I cleared, and then a few shots of the brush / stump piles.

What you need to do is drive it down here to Toano to visit with my B2920 and then show how good yours is at clearing out stumps. You could stay busy for days. That's a lot of vitamins.

Hey there neighbor!

Have you been happy with your B2920? I have not had mine for very long, but feel pretty good about it for my needs after today.

Yeah, it's been great and the size is perfect. I'm almost at 30 hours.

About my only complaint is that the throttle lever has a little too much resistance and doesn't allow real fine adjustment. I need to see if the mechanism can be lubed.

I have the same issue, but this link may help, I have not tried it yet:

There may be two adjusting nuts, one to lock it and one to set it I think. I may try tomorrow, if I do I will take pics and post them.

Very nice. It should be able to pull that stuff all day. Did you use a bh or fel? My b2920 just passed 100 hours. I love it!

I used both, but mostly the BH. One one pretty good sized pine stump I had it up in about ten minutes. Normally takes me a lot longer to dig it out and work it out.
