AKDad. I noticed that you didn't fully lower the hydrailic lever down to the #1 position when you began mowing as I see the hydraulic lever at roughly the #7 position at minute 3:09. I have the same mower and tractor and I thought to adjust the mowing height you raise the deck fully up , then use the cutting height knob (on floor between your legs) to set the cuttingheight , like 3 or 4 for example on the knob dial, then lower the deck fully (using hydraulic lever on right side)so the weight of the deck rests on the cutting height dial? The reason I ask is my deck keeps dropping while mowing slipping on the cutting height knob.
@user-bx3gy5di9g6 ай бұрын
Love your channel good info in here. I have the same exact b2601 and 60 inch deck. At times my cutting height dial moves down while mowing. Dealer changed the dial cam and is better but still moves from 4 to 3.5 on occassion. Any advice? Does yours move at all.

Great video. For the 3pt snowblower and the cab, does the cab has an access window out the back in which you can manually rotate the chute or do you have to get out of the cab every time you need to rotate the chute? Thanks!
@AkDadStuff6 ай бұрын
Heyhey , the cab does not have an opening in the back so I would need to get out to rotate it. I thought this would be an issue but I don't need to rotate it very often so it doesn't bother me. I did think about getting an electric chute rotator but not sure that I will. Thanks for watching

I'm late to the party but want to post something from my experience with the same chains on the same tractor. To seat or loosen the pins on the 'C' clamps I used an old lawn mower blade. I would put the clamp in a position so the in was under the center hole of the blade - the crank hole. Then I could put either end of the blade over a tire lug. I could drive the pin in with just a hammer. I used a punch to drive the pin out. Worked great. Just an FYI AKGD is just great - I've used his videos to determine what equipment to buy and how to mount my chains. I 'drove' my chains over the top - found I had much less slack when the chain 'came up' on the back side. I buttoned them down and didn't have to tighten them all winter. Again, only my experience.

Did you know Landpride has a top cover for the snowpusher that lets you tilt it all the forward and use to backdrag up against house? If you call ESI, they call it the "pullback option." The snowpusher I just bought came with it already installed, but I see it's an option. Makes a big difference!
