Thats one of the disadvantages of a zero turn that you learn about after buying.Sure they mow good,but the transaxle is actually very fragile pulling loads vs.a garden tractor.I would reconmend you figure out a different solution.Its a smart question to ask here,as their is a lot of...

Its only a gallon,you caught your mistake which is a good thing.Pour a quart or so every time you fill up your vehicle,no worries

Your neighbors sound like mine,tho I haven't done that,I just told the little old lady she was messed up,L.O.L

You should be aware that old gas is one of the first problems that happens to an engine.Its also one of the easiest to remedy,every couple of months pour it in your fairly full vehicle.Use only ethanol free gas and it will go a whole lot smoother

I'm on my 3rd summer.Im really happy with my purchase.I have read here about belt and pulley issues.I have had none,I took off the belt guards,safety in the seat won't let you be in danger.Keeps crap out,hubs run cooler.I check mine with digital temp gun,they run about 110°on a 75°degree day...

She might not like the pounding the zero turn is going to give her.With that kind of acres you might want to check the Bobcat line up

Anybody have parts numbers for the belts?

I too have a 2290,you didn't by chance ever check the hubs with a temperature gun?I'm thinking one hub hotter,more apt to be compromised?School me please!I'm only at 45 hours,mine run 110° at about 80 degrees

I'm the original OP,I did buy the T-2290.I can't use in my situation a zero turn as I pull a leaf sweeper and a aluminum utility trailer.The tractor has been awesome, no issues,mows great,easy steering.I check my spindle hub temps with a Napa temp gun,they run 110°,I like that ,and just try to...

Are you thinking of payback?

If the blade spins when you pull the rope,thats not correct.The clutch mechanism is faulty,most likely stuck.As you are aware,its a two step,two button ,to get the blades to engage.Thats what you were describing with hard pull,you were trying to start the motor with all the blade drive systems...

Always run an air cooled engine full throttle.Its designed to pull maximum air ,your really doing more harm by less throttle. Its also a good idea to keep the clippings off and around the engine and transaxle.

Can you explain your answer?We're here to dicuss and learn,I.M.O

With all the big names doing battery lawn machines and Honda getting out of the gas powered,they have them in the market in England and Australia, why not in the good old U.S.A?

And most problems result of over tightening or bad tools used.I'm a fan of never seize,brass plugs,good tools including short ratchets,and having extra plugs,if it comes out difficult,inspect your tooling,and replace it and the plugs.Heat sets the fittings for possible problems next time.Good...

I think your good to go,but you could wiggle blade from beneath to check bearings, take off blade and inspect for balance,and if your at all worried,I use a temp gun periodically on my bearings,overkill for sure but chasing parts and service is not something I enjoy

What brand and weight are you using?

When you get to my age,you write the number on the rim with a paint pen

A good lesson for all of us.On my Cub,125,the previous owner had put on some after market deck belts,he said were cheaper when he sold it to me.It didn't take me long to get the correct factory belts.I decided I would only use the parts it was born with.Belts,filters, fluid,plugs,points, I feel...

There is a torque value ,but it sounds like maybe that wasn't followed. I believe you'll have to carefully split the nut and then clean the threads.Be careful on reinstalling, torque wrench so you get an idea how tight is correct. Most guys,way overtighten these,you don't need to do this.Sounds...

I got my T2290 in May.Fabulous tractor, added the mulching kit.Does everything well.

I got my t2290 in May of this year.Added the mulching kit.Fabulous tractor,does everything as expected.

On my old Cub Cadet,I don't know if it helps, I put a piece of floor mat under battery,a little bit of cushion

I use Interstate Battery, and never let a battery run down and freeze.Invest in a battery maintainer and volt meter.Keep the connections clean and tight ,the battery from jumping around.

Hi Mark I just snagged a 2290-42,its raining in Wi.I'm dying to get out there to mow.There a tough one to find,

I'm interested in a 42 inch mower.Any thoughts on this pulling an aluminum utility trailer around yard with a few supplies,and a lawn sweeper in the fall?Or should I just get aT2290 a designated lawn tractor.I'm concerned on the zero turns transmission not being beefed up versus the lawn tractor...

I'm thinking of a F60,anyone can help me decide,good or bad or maybe an alternative. I do need a 36 inch cut.

Sounds to me your dealer was not knowledgeable,wanted a quick sale and when you contacted him about safety, he wanted to beat you up thru your pocket book.Shame on him.I'm from the old school,this is not acceptable.

Thanks Rivets,kind of what I was thinking.

Does anybody own and recommend. What are your thoughts and opinions, good or bad?Or Kubota 2290 is a better option?

Thanks Lugbolt! I live in Wi.so need deck,vacuum and snow thrower.I was thinking it would probably be Kubota over JD.

Thanks guys,I'm going to try to find the time this week to go to a dealer.

I'm bad!I totally screwed up,its a T2290.

I'm thinking of this purchase,anything I should be aware of?What do you like or dislike?Would you do it again?Thanks.

I'm getting ready to lap the valves on my K-301.What is a good removal tool to use on the valve keepers.Any tips,or concerns I should be aware of?Thanks
