    Impact Wrench Recommendations?

    What a beast! At first glance it looks bigger(heavier?) than my big 20V Dewalt monster impact (exact model # eludes me at the moment...but the biggest 1/2" impact that they sell.)

    Transmission Screen

    I am sure you'll lose some, regardless of method you try. I just did my 50hr service (BX2380) for the very first time. Not sure what I was worried about. A little messy, but I was prepared. Looking back, I certainly wouldn't do what you are proposing at 25hrs, then again at 50.(PITA) I'd...

    Precision Trailer Moving?

    Depends on how heavy I guess. You'd need a dolly under each wheel and one for the tongue I suppose. I had a 1550lb Classic car I used to push around my small garage by hand. Once you got it moving and all dolly wheels aimed the same way it was ok. (home-made dollies)

    Time for tractor!?

    All my vehicles are manual (motorbike, DD cars, classic car) but I prefer the HST on the tractors. I say buy the biggest tractor that you can afford -and- fit between your door frame ! Good luck ! (pix or it didn't happen) ;-)

    Outgrown the 2022 BX2680

    Apparently, I represent the only person in history who doesn't want a tractor LARGER than a 'BX - LOL!

    The Glass

    I drink beer out of a bottle. In fact, just got done mowing for 2 hrs so that gives me an idea!

    What did you do to or on your Kubota today?

    "No Mow May" just finished here in NB so I mowed 2acres of dandelions grass today with the ol' TG1860 (it;s roughly 1999-2000?vintage<who knows> with now 961hrs on it). You can't see it in the photo but I have a kids t-shirt taped over the radiator inlet vent screen (down by my knees) to...

    Tractor won’t start with new battery

    Checked the battery HOW exactly? Load tester? Voltmeter? By eye?

    Insight gained after making an operating mistake

    Had 2 hours in my tractor and ran right into the garage door header with the ROPS - doh ! My neighbour, with 5-6 decades running tractors backed right over my mailbox.....and it was on the opposite side of the road from his driveway when he was snowplowing with his 1965 International. (there...

    Impact Wrench Recommendations?

    I have a "good" 1/2" air impact (middle tier stuff) but find myself grabbing the breaker bar and cheater pipe on those difficult lugnuts on a variety of cars every spring maybe 25% of the time, so last year I upgraded to a Dewalt 20V 1/2" impact and am very happy with it. Now only once in a...

    L3901 hst pedal stiff, won't go forward

    (different tractor) This happened to me and major panic set in. (thing had like 10hrs on it) What had happened was the knob that holds the screen by your knees on had backed itself out, fell to the floor and jammed in the slot where the HST pedal rides. Removed blockage, reinstall (tighter)...

    Help! Smoke Smoke Smoke!

    It's probably all the wood chips that are sitting on top of the engine. ( and now they have oil dripped onto them) Did you just empty a random amount of oil in your engine and hope for the best?

    BX2200 feels like it is going to tip over

    ...when I mow with the BX (which isn't often) I always mow with the bucket off (FEL arms on however) Yesterday within a couple minutes I had several front implements on/off (bucket, forks, forks loaded you get the idea) ) and was travelling across a short expanse of uneven ground. The last pass...

    TG1860 with RCK54TG cutting deck. Am I crazy?

    I "lost" my vent tube one time too. Oil everywhere - 1 belt ruined. Lesson learned. Make sure it's attached well ;-) Glad you are getting it sorted. I hear lotsa smack being slung about on these TG1860's (rightfully so in some cases) however I musta got a good one. No trouble with PTO or...

    TG1860 with RCK54TG cutting deck. Am I crazy?

    I am trying to load pix from my cell phone but think my provider is down. The tensioner can go one of two ways, but it *IS* being pushed into the belt. If I can get pix to load, I'll show pages from the parts manual and notes I've made over the last 17-18yrs of ownership of my TG1860, which is...
