LX2610

[SmallTimeGuy]

I picked up my lx2610 today, coming from a bx2680. I have FEL, and MMM. I only put about an hour or so on it (its alot of tractor in comparison) trying to get used to it on some of my steeper hills. First impressions as a bigger guy I dont like how the loader stick comes out from beneath the seat. I found myself bumping it. Could change as I get used to the layout. The telescopic stabilizers are going to be a game changer for me. However, for no more than I use my tractor for, being, finish mowing around the house, tilling a decent sized garden, general loader work and bush hogging about a 5 acre field. I feel as if this will be the last tractor Ill ever need. The dealership loaded the tires for me (didnt even have to ask) and it seems so much more stable than the little bx. I'll try to update this thread with anymore findings as I come across them in use.

I've got close to 50 hours on my LX2610 now. Also didn't like how the loader control hit my leg. Found myself accidently activating the loader when turning around to back up. Ended up taking the loader stick off and carefully bending to make more leg clearance. Be careful in adjustment to not over compensate and leave clearance to stay away from the fender when activating.

Did you heat it up to bend it?

No - used vice and re-bar bender tools.

Ran the loader into the ground several times backing up before adjustment. Now zero problems.

I may have to look into that. I hit it just about everytime I went in reverse if I wasnt actively thinking about it

I put little strips of tape in the direction I wanted bends. Went back and forth to the tractor to fit and get just right.
