    How do I replace seat safety switch IN SEAT BX2380?

    Your switch is not "in" the seat and you can definitely start the tractor while standing on the ground next to it. Either you were not clear with the service manager (or he with you) or he knows nothing. (and maybe you should seek advice elsewhere) like here and the 5 guys who've seemingly given...

    BX23S Power Steering

    I am pretty new to the BX2380, but it's very easy to steer. Maybe even easier than my TG1860 with electronic assist power steering. Backing it into the garage in 4WD low, and as slow as it'll go (idle), I can still steer it quite easily with the aftermarket steering knob. (to give you an idea...

    Quick change snowblower skids?

    I could've used some kind of large swivel wheel last week (instead of skids)........4-5" of heavy wet sticky snow and ground NOT frozen. I blew enough gravel to make a small driveway. I am a newbie at the whole tractor snowblower thing (been pushing a blower 40 yrs though) and wasn't initially...

    Accident To Share

    You're a brave guy, sharing that info. I am happy to know you weren't hurt worse. Reminds me of a story of my colleague at work. He has 2-3 acres in the country. One snowy day he ventured not too far into the woods on foot (50' maybe) to pull a small tree that had collapsed onto his rural...

    Reverse the rear edge for snow … did you reverse the cutting edge

    I haven't actually used it yet, (first year with new blade, fresh snow, ground not frozen yet) but I have no intention of flipping the cutting edge around. (I do already have the blade flipped around....getting ready) Seems like an awful lot of work for not much (any?) reward. If there's a...

    2wd vs 4wd; unfrozen ground

    First snowblow of the season today...snowblowed in the dark with all my new LED lighting. Was like daytime outside ! The ground is not frozen (ugh)...about 5" of wet/mixed snow....so chucks lotsa gravel. (even with shoes all the way down....wet snow "picked up the rocks as I went along"...I...

    2wd vs 4wd; unfrozen ground

    you're right, but I think what he may have meant was, because the front wheels are engaged when in 4WD, then if I was (for example) going down a hill, I would have some resistance on the front wheels as opposed to being in 2WD where the front wheels would be "free floating". That's what I took...

    2wd vs 4wd; unfrozen ground

    Thank you all for your various posts. I think I have a good handle on it now and was probably just being a worry-wort over nothing. I know on the old Land Rover, you had better be on loose/wet ground or there was no way of turning a corner if you were in 4wd....I am getting the message that...

    2wd vs 4wd; unfrozen ground

    bx2380, rear tires have chains. Getting ready for winter. Ground not frozen here yet. Snow expected any day Front blower. Shoes lowered all the way down. (chute up off the ground in other words) I noticed the last couple days as I was out in the driveway (made up of various types of compacted...

    Quick hitch and rear blade, difficulty

    A picture is worth 1000 words. Tnx Once I extend the top link out a little more...and maybe(?) do a small amount of "landscaping" to level the old wheels I have everything sitting on.(by eye it looks fine)....if I *still* have issues, I'll snap some pix at that point. Maybe the issue is the...

    Quick hitch and rear blade, difficulty

    Thanks everyone...small correction. I think it's the RB1560 I have (pretty much the same as the '1572 but slightly narrower blade) I am not in the same location as the tractor currently to double check. I think I'll try to lengthen the top link on my tractor a little more to (hopefully) get...

    Quick hitch and rear blade, difficulty

    Hey guys, Pretty new owner , Mike in NB, here. I have a BX2380 and a RB1572 rear blade. Recently I bought the small Land Pride Quick hitch QH05 (fixed top hook) It took me (literally) 20 minutes to get the blade on the first time. I don't know why, but I couldn't understand that the large...

    Adding a "tractor-port" to my barn

    I should be so lucky. Looks great ! Do you have to fold the ROPS to get it in there or did you already account for that? (I have to fold mine, dang-it-all...no choice) Snowed here today and yesterday :-( Not quite snowblower depths yet, but it's coming. Mike in NB,Canada

    Wheel hit hole, won't hold fluid

    The expression "Run, Forest, Run" comes to mind, but that's just me. The " they think the starter froze " part raises a flag for me more than the "hit a hole" part. For me, it would have to be "pennies on the dollar" cheap, rather than "just a good deal" (if that makes sense) My spider senses...

    Review of new BX 1880

    I went back and forth 1880---2380----1880----2380./......I decided once in my life to spoil myself just a little. 2380 1880 is nearly the same machine. |Good on ya !
