    LA434 inside width dimension?

    Hi there folks, A friend of mine is looking to get a piranha tooth bar for a gift for someone. The loader is a LA434. They want it to be a surprise so can’t actually measure the inside width themselves. Wondering if any of the tractor gods on here might know that particular measurement off...

    Kubota vs Bxpanded thumb

    hey folks, I want to pull the trigger on the kubota backhoe thumb for my BX25D but my dealer here wants 500 for the thing. I see Bxpanded sells theirs online for 300 ish. Any reason not to go with the cheaper one here? Thanks in advance for any advice!!

    Chipper vs chipper shredder worth the extra $?

    Great thanks for the help guys! Those agriease machines sure look identical to the Wally and do seem way cheaper. I suspected the shredder would be best for leaves but who wants to load em all into the thing? Thanks again guys as always this forum is a huge help.

    Chipper vs chipper shredder worth the extra $?

    Good day gents, Now that the friggin game of thrones-ish winter FINALLY appears to be over in my neck of the woods I am going full tilt trying to get my 10 acre yard ready for my wedding this summer. I have been looking a lot at chippers for my BX25D and have it narrowed down to 2 units. The...

    New to Front Loader

    I have no right commenting in here with the experience most of these guys have but one thing I've learned about both the loader and backhoe is the old saying "easy to learn tough to master". If you have a crappy part of your property your not too concerned about being ripped up a bit, go unleash...

    any theft problems in your area?

    man some of these stories are awful. I feel for you guys, I'm lucky that I'm in a very low crime area. looooong uphill driveway to come to the house. Never hurts to have 2 security systems made by Glock and Colt too. The best part of living rural is no one ever hears one...

    BX Front mount Snowblower?

    Further to my previous post, I second the "buy shear bolts" comment. Buy a bunch of them as soon as you get your blower and tuck them away somewhere. Just broke one yesterday on my auger and guess what I can't find anywhere in my lovely city. Lesson learned the hard way here!

    BX Front mount Snowblower?

    I have the BX2755HD. It is a monster! Just got to use it a couple times last week, it ripped through the snow like nothing. Throws the snow far, the hydraulic chute rotation is quick and snappy. The cost was a lot with the quick attach, drive shaft and blower it was a hefty price tag of...

    Has anybody put a mirror on their tractor? Strobe Light?

    For snow removal I'm thinking of just getting one of those magnetic battery operated blue strobes to throw on my ROPS. Seems cheap and easy. Wildfire, I'm just waiting for the day you throw some spin rims on that little BX. I love your mods! Your youtube videos were a big help for me when...

    :) can't wait to plow snow and dig holes

    you know how when you buy something and get it home you get bored with it after a couple weeks?...... that doesn't happen with this thing. I just got to use my snowblower the last 2 days in a row and it was awesome. Just don't let on to your girlfriend how much fun you're having or she will...
