The suspension system has lots of components and issues with any number of them could mean a bumpy ride.

You vehicle’s suspension system connects the tires to the vehicle and acts as a shock absorber so you don’t feel every pothole and speed bump.

Is one side of the tire wearing more quickly? You might need an alignment. If you’re steering wheel is shaking, contact your auto mechanic to have your tires rotated and balanced. Increasing or decreasing tire pressure is usually a simple fix, but if too much time has passed, low air pressure can cause extra tire wear and too much air pressure can cause the tires to warp or wear more quickly. Tire pressure, uneven tire wear, and tires out of balance are all common culprits. Problems with your tires are the most common reason your vehicle isn’t driving smoothly. But what kind of problem? And how do you go about fixing it? These 5 car problems are the most common reasons your vehicle may not drive smoothly. Excessive vibration, bumping, shaking or wobbling is a sign of a potential car problem. I did a short video this weekend on using the B2401 PTO, coincidentally with a brushhog, if you want to know what you'd be getting yourself into.Have you noticed that your vehicle is vibrating or feels bumpy at different speeds? Does your steering wheel vibrate or your car shake? Your vehicle should drive smoothly regardless of speed. In particular, operating a cheap, rear mounted snowblower you'd be limited to 1, 2.5 or 5.5 mph as there is only 1 R gear, for L, M and H range. Want to change from 3 to 5 mph? Clutch and come to a complete stop, shift, reduce engine speed and let the clutch out, increase engine back to 2500 RPM. To run a MMM, rear mower, brushhog or a snow blower, you need the engine running at 2500 RPM - which means for any given gear, the tractor goes one speed. I also mow some walking/skiing trails with it, but don't need nearly the turning radius that I do to mow my lawn, nor the fine control over my speed. The B2401 is great for hacking down a whole fields with buckthorns, where you pick a gear and go in straight lines at that same speed for hours. The Husqvarna is great for getting in the tight spaces around the trees, going fast over the smooth lawn but being able to slow down easily for the bumpy bits and tight turns. I have a Husqvarna HST lawn tractor and a B2401 gear drive tractor with a brushhog. Low-RPM torque rules in tall grass and deep snow! They punch way above their weight on torque, compared to gas. Smooth, quiet, more durable, if not a bit more finicky to start during cold weather. Buy low hours, and you're usually safe.Īlso, get diesel. Then again, you'll find internet listings for dozens of these machines selling at auction per year.Ĭheck marketbook.ca for auction prices. I love my G1800! G1800s and G1900s are getting a bit hard to find, because they're 23+ year-old machines by now. And most Kubota parts are not that hard to find (say, compared to 1960s Chrysler stuff). How mechanically inclined are you? I absolutely LOVE rehabbing old neglected machines that are not totally worn out. Pretty handy when I need to go lock-to-lock on the steering all at once. PO put a steering wheel ball on my tractor. Like I said in another posting, you can make a 90-degree turn with 4WS and the inside edge of the deck carves a radius of about 6 inches. Took some getting used to, but it is quite amazing. I was skeptical of the 4WS on the old G1800 I just put into service. I'm not sure they make a snowblower for a ZTR. Either push the top of the pedal (to go faster), or the bottom of the pedal (to back up).Īlso think about 4-wheel steering or even ZTR if you have a lot of obstacles or turns to get your yard mowed.

Three steps every time you do that with manual (push clutch in, shift, let clutch out). And, with a yard that size, you'll be shifting gears a hundred times. When you need maneuverability, it's king.
