    ZD221 won’t start. Electrical issue

    Hello. My ZD221 zero turn won’t start. Battery is good. I have good voltage at the starter. I tested the solenoid and it appears good. I’ve gone through the two lever safety switches, the seat safety switch, the pto/mower engage safety switch and the brake safety switch. I get variable and...

    New here... new BX25D

    Hello, I just got a BX25D, and added a thumb to the backhoe. I noticed there is what appears to be a mount point for a hydraulic cylinder (or could be used as one). Anyone do anything with this? Why is it there?
