    My BX2750D snowblower modification

    Resurrecting an old thread as I am thinking of doing the same. Sagor, do the trailer jacks bend at all or are they quite strong? Would it work better with larger, air filled tires do you think? On my blower I want to use slightly larger air filled tires and will need to offset the jack...

    How far do you road travel your BX?

    In addition to riding a tractor, I also ride a motorcycle. Clippings along a straight stretch don't bother me usually (I move over), but, wet clippings in a turn can be very dangerous. Folks have actually dumped their bikes and died.(I am not trying to be dramatic--it's happened) Just so you...

    How far do you road travel your BX?

    I have LED light bars all around + a flashing top light. Everyone has headlights, the orange triangle and hopefully working hazard flasher lights. I added mirrors so at least I had a little forewarning of getting hit from behind. All that and you're still in some danger. My brother is a police...

    Widow Maker - Best Plan of Attack?

    Could you attach a small come-along on the base of the tree, as it is right now, and jack it "up" in the air, away from the fence and towards the next closest tree? Then, cut as desired. Voila! One long tree....laying on your trail....and one short tree (4' long or whatever) floating in the...

    Tractor Warm Up Question

    Like Ralph, I've owned a few (VW) diesels in the past. I could never produce enough heat to thaw the windshield, nevermind the cabin, in the dead of winter if I just idled it, waiting, waiting.... I would idle it a little, then take off. Only way to get good heat. My lawn tractor (diesel) I...

    Ice ice baby

    I snowblowed 55cm of snow on the weekend, with some drifts of 3-4' on top of a "skating rink." (driveway) I think it's only because of tire chains it went so easily. Ice ice baby!

    BX 80 front blower- what RPM's do you use?

    Not sure which book you are referring to....owners manual for the BX2380? I quoted the only 2 references to the mid pto speed in my (pdf) screenshot, above. Thanks for your help-

    BX 80 front blower- what RPM's do you use?

    You know, you could be right. Maybe it's semantics or the way I am reading the manual. " The tractor has a 540 rpm rear PTO speed and a 2500 rpm mid PTO speed." " PTO Rear PTO SAE 1-3/8, 6 splines Revolution STD (540 rpm) Mid PTO USA No.5 (KUBOTA 10-tooth) involute spline Revolution STD (2500...

    BX 80 front blower- what RPM's do you use?

    My manual for the BX2380 says to run the mid PTO @ 2500 RPM. My manual for the BX2830 (not a typo) FRONT 48" commercial blower says to run at maximum RPM in heavy snow. What do you guys do...vary RPM depending on the DEPTH/TYPE of snow you're dealing with? I've been running around 3000-3100 as...

    Ice ice baby

    It rained y'day for many hours, then got real cold in a hurry. Now it will snow for a total of 48hrs+, so currently, looking out the window, I have a gargantuan ice rink (driveway) covered with 1-3' of drifting snow.(more coming) All told, we are supposed to get 55cm (2/3 a yard...

    Looking for some beginner tractor advice (B/LX + implements)

    No cab=Snow pummeled into your face sometimes. No matter how careful you are. Cab=You get to laugh at the snow hitting all the glass and roof on your cab. I'm from the extreme NE of North America, so I am used to being pummeled with snow. I don't like it, but I'm used to it. ;-) Once I get...
