    Tektite cab on a BX2380?

    Can anyone confirm which model of Tektite you have on your BX and height to the tallest spot? I see on their website they say 77", but I think there may have been different iterations of BX cabs? I could be wrong on that...their website is a little thin on some info. (it doesn't even mention...

    L3130 : Front tire won't release any air

    I am a (tractor) newbie, so take this with a grain of salt, but if you have no idea if your tires are "filled" or not, you may wish to orient the valve stem @ the 12 o'clock position in case when you take the core out, some jam that's going on releases and you suddenly are inundated with 50...

    Loader joystick

    I haven't done it(yet), but it's not too terribly long on my new BX....on some tractors it seems like it would really be in the way. Others have done it for sure. Can't say I wouldn't ever. It's just a stick.

    TG1860 G mower deck install?

    I've owned a TG1860 ~15yrs and was "warned" not to take the deck off unless absolutely necessary as it was supposedly quite a nightmare to reinstall, so I've never taken it off. I do currently have a want/need to remove it, but am gun-shy to do so. I hate replacing the drive belt for one...

    Drive it or trailer it?

    Around here it's farmland. Every 3rd or 4th house has a tractor (a bit of an exaggeration, but not much) If I was on "my road" I'd drive it if I had the proper insurance...but if there are no farms near you and tractors are not a very common sight, I would go trailer all the way.

    When waiting how often do/did you call your salesman?

    I had about a 6 or 7 week wait for everything. I checked in at the 5 week mark and told maybe another ~3 weeks, but it was only about 1.5......sales tactic to make me more happy when it arrived early? ;-) Sales guy liked using email and text so that how we did 90% of our communication. We had...

    TG1860 diesel hard starting

    Owned one ~15 yrs, but am no expert. Sounds like you answered your own question though. I know if I don't give the glow plugs the full 10 seconds (or whatever the timer is set to) it's very hard to start. The only exception to that would be if I've had it on mowing or working, shut it off and...

    Scraping grass off sides of a driveway?

    OK, so you're saying to take off my top link and replace it with a chunk of chain and keep trying the back blade? What does this do for me? Sorry--I have 7 hours on the 'BX and maybe 1/2hr using a back blade, so color me very green !

    Scraping grass off sides of a driveway?

    Has anyone ever made a tool for scraping the grass off the sides of a gravel driveway? I am a very new tractor owner (BX2380, no FEL, but do have a back blade) and tried to scrape the grass that's slowly eating into my driveway on both sides. I made kindof a mess. What I didn't realize...

    Hypothetical question D902, D722 engines

    Understood. No offense taken. Very hard to gauge "tone" in an email or internet post. ..s'all good. If I knew 100% it would fit my BX2380, then I'd probably hang onto it and keep it 'moving', but it's getting a little beat up as it ages, much like it's owner, so if it would not fit the 'BX...

    Kubota Hours

    Almost 1000 on my TG1860 diesel mower and a whopping "7" on my BX2380 ! (I don't think I'll be winning any prizes here anytime soon) (Is tractor ownership a competition?--I see the same questions on the motorcycle forums wrt mileage...and I don't win any prizes over there either...I just enjoy'm)

    Hypothetical question D902, D722 engines

    Thank you for your reply, even though I read it as somewhat sarcastic. DOH, yourself ! I'll highlight and repeat the key take aways (imo) of my initial post. "... but mechanically are they at all compatible? ..." "... and whether to keep mowing a little with it for now and then ..."

    Hypothetical question D902, D722 engines

    This scenario will probably never happen...but since I got my BX2380, I'm thinking of selling my TG1860 mower. These engines are not *TOO* far apart as far as HP/displacement specs go, but mechanically are they at all compatible? I noticed by accident that the BX1880 which I think is almost...

    BX2380 MMM engagement speed?

    aha! I see it now.....I couldn't see the forest for the trees. DOH ! ! ! <hangs head in shame>😞 Looks like I found in (in real life) by accident. That's about how I engage the PTO on my TG1860 as well.(mid RPM's) "...2. PTO clutch lever The PTO-clutch-lever engages or disengages the PTO...

    BX2380 MMM engagement speed?

    That's what I thought too Henro. Maybe once I get a couple more hours on the machine, I'll see where the sweet spot is. At idle there's lots of shudder/vibrations/noise/lugging, whereas slightly higher seems to be better and less "shock". (if that makes sense) I have never engaged it at...

    BX2380 MMM engagement speed?

    "That's" ? Are you agreeing with my estimate of ~2000rpm Ping? I couldn't find it in my manual for the BX2380.....I have skimmed my paper manual for the mower and didn't see it.

    BX2380 MMM engagement speed?

    New owner---5.5hrs on my BX2380 tractor (1.5 of that, mowing with a 54" MMM)......I have searched but can't find a good answer. At what engine RPM should I engage the MMM at? When I do it with engine RPM very low (mower up or down) ....it seems like the tractor shudders really hard and the...

    BX Axle Breather

    I have this exact issue with a brand new bx2380. (5.5hrs on it) Front axle fairly warm, oil seepage @ right front breather bolt. (left is fine) Plug shot out (almost) like a champagne cork.
