A few pointers about the thumb's adjustable positioning bar and tube assembly, garnered from experience. Unseen above the top of the photo is the end of the tube, open to the sky. It's an excellent dirt collector. What mine ended up causing is I had the thumb in a partially closed position for...

You'll find that bucket thumb indispensable for some work. I was sure glad my dealer made sure I included it when I got my setup new.

Mostly, anyway, My B50 series (B2650HSD(C)/B3350HSD(C) basically the same as the LX series. I actually prefer the manual loader hydraulics attachments, and manual ssqa bucket locking.

Ya ya, but remember: Specialization is for insects.

No big ivy like NC, but we have it and it does its thing on those reactive here too, like my wife. She can spot it on the ground, where it grows here, way before I can. For good reason. For me it caused reactions way back when, but I just give it respect when its growing and it's been many a...

What we ID as poison ivy here, Canada southern prairies, I've never seen anything like what you seem to be calling the same. Well what do you know, it grows like a vine, too! Warmer climate down there in NC, as our winters are brutally cold and would probably kill exposed vines of poison ivy.

Yup!

Mine is a smaller machine but with the same 200-hour filter swap dilemma. I just went for it. I pre-lubed the new filter gasket, positioned myself comfortably to see and spin the filter, put a drain tray to keep the mess to a minimum. With only a slight fumbling trying to start the new filter...

This 5x8 box dumper can carry long shit, too, and has a 5200lb axle. It's served me many years pre and post construction/carpentry career. Had it hauling 2 yards of wet sand for a short run a few times. And the dumper fits the bill for so many jobs.

Screen on the outside of your hood's plastic intake mesh openings will clog up just as fast but be way easier to get at and clean, IMHO. Only if the overall area of an add-on pre-screen is larger than the hood openings will it take longer between cleaning stops. Sounds a bit tricky to do.

I bought a seal kit for my front snowblower raising-lowering cylinder - the smallest cylinder in my kit, after the leaks and "let-down" said enough was enough. $135 CAD for a tiny cylinder seal kit from the dealership. Other non OEM sources were near impossible to locate, and also pricey. Got...

I think you'd enjoy having one like my 2017 B2650HSD. 26HP, no exhaust DPF, no turbo, running at 1300 hours better than I bought it.

Well I can say that once set as you describe with 1/16 play at tightest point of rotation the blower has performed just fine for me for 9 winters, and chain still seems fine. I regularly check for pto-input-shaft-to-sprocket looseness by twisting the shaft back and forth while holding the...

For a BX23D, anyway. No plain BX23 model listed on the parts finder here in Canada.
