I had an L2501 and Husqvarna riding mower with a Kawasaki engine, but I'd used the L2501 for all of the large projects on my small parcel, so it was time to downsize. The riding mower was too small for my needs (similar to yours), but the L2501 was too big. I narrowed the options down to a...

Not all mixer drivers are equal either. We had a Loflin driver roll his mixer (fully-loaded) on a job in Kernersville years back. Butch was pissed! :ROFLMAO:

This is in line with what I was thinking, drop the trailer, not raise the boat. Or raise the boat while on the trailer, then cribbage below and drop the trailer to do your work.

BS customer service has been a nightmare, but thankfully the service has been solid for us, so not much interaction needed. Customer service is hard to understand sometimes, but not because they're foreign. They speak so southern/backwoods that having lived my life in NC hasn't prepared me for...

I'd have used this as an opportunity to learn how to take the loader and backhoe off and put them back on, especially on a new-to-me tractor. The tractor's wiring should be pretty safe when parked elsewhere. It took me a few tries to get get good at taking mine off.

Just cleaned and lubed the mower deck in preparation for the mowing season. Last year I learned the wheel spacers make it impossible to roll the deck underneath, so I'll just use the BH and/or loader to lift the tractor, roll the deck underneath, then drop the tractor on the deck before...

Just in case it helps, my BX Curtis cab has the following: I doubt Curtis reinvents the wheel for each cab/heater, so it might be consistent:

The morons in the "newsroom". They can't spell and they don't understand what vehicle pedal does what, apparently. It's more of a sad state of affairs than humor, but I do enjoy laughing at all of the blunders our local "news" stations commit daily.

I remember reading on here that someone did the swap in the past year and mentioned that it was a direct swap, but didn't offer any measurements, pictures, or proof otherwise. I've been looking for the same info, but have been too lazy to take measurements and compare to an 80-series.

My old man's parenting mantra...

You're definitely correct. As proof to that point, Duke Energy locally will give me $700 to replace my old HVAC unit with a new, all-electric 15 SEER heat pump. On the other hand, if I do a new 15 SEER dual-fuel (gas and electric) heat pump, they'll give me $2,500. The only rational reason I...

Unlike you, I decided to wait until the snow stopped, haha. Got right at a foot of snow on top of the inches of sleet that were still on the ground. At least this snow was light and cleared MUCH more easily than the sleet last week. Gotta give the little BX credit, it handled it like a champ...

Well, not snow, and not really plowing, but the loader did great work with 3" of sleet and a coating of ice on top. Thankfully it reached a balmy 32F yesterday with a pleasant 30mph breeze, so the driveway dried off before dropping to 3F this morning. Decidedly cold for NC. We've been in a...

Yup, generator and tractor are filled and ready to go, with extra fuel for each. Definitely not a fan of freezing rain, so I'm hoping for some snow initially, covered with sleet later as that makes for a lot easier clearing than just ice. It's supposed to be windy right after the storm, so I'm...
