Good for you. I purchased a large filter with screen for my use as this also helps in not spilling any fuel. Have also heard using a kitchen sink basket screen works also. Regardless of what is used, just important to use something to filter your fuel. Preventative measures usually...

Good for you. What did you use, SUDT or 80w90? Learn by doing and asking questions.

Probably get alot grief from this post but here goes. Chain up the rears if you have ample clearance. R-1 or R14 all around, loaded rears w/rimguard. Ballast box heavy weight or heavy implement on rear. Careful chaining up front due to clearance and possible front axle damage. Understand...

Disconnect the battery and if still concerned, take it inside and put a battery tender on it. I have found for me, by putting a tender on the battery during periods of non-use, it seems to prolong overall battery life. I believe you MAY have to loosen the deck gear housing some to install a...

Shut the fuel valve off at the filter as per your owner's manual. Typically, a barrel type valve and if working correctly, should stop all fuel flow when changing the fuel filter. First time in changing fuel filter? You need to check your fuel supplier. Winter fuel is already treated some...

My BX23S TLB, which is an 80 series, came with the flat face on both FEL and BH. My BX1870, 70 series, came with the pioneer. "O" rings can be replaced on the pioneers FM's. Unsure about the flat face. Typically, not as many issues with flat face as with the pioneers. I suspect this is...

I doubt any damage done. This seems to be a frequent issue with new tractors. The dealers' service dept. should have a service check off list in your file. I would contact your dealer have them document it for future reference. I would suspect it was delivered with UDT. UDT is a thinner oil...

All the above reasons for the 2601.

I did NOT miss anything. Regardless of what it is or who made it, merely point out it has rice paddy tires and no PTO cover. I would suspect any warning labels, if any, are NOT in English. Tractor was not for the USA market.

No problem when doing normal loading of material and actually a tooth bar can help. If you try to dig hard pack OR back dragging you can bend the bucket cylinder rods. The farther out the rods are from the cylinder, the more chances for damage. You need to watch the bucket angle. This goes...

Presuming you have the QA bucket; QA forks are far better for all the reasons mentioned above. Additionally, you can damage your bucket with clamp-on forks. Also, harder see see clamp-on forks when attempting to load items. Unless you by passed safety switches, your tractor will shut down if...

Bxpanded do make good products for their intended use. Just be careful when using a tooth bar as you can damage your loader cylinders. There are other companies that make tooth bars as well.

Bucket leveling indicator.

If you really enjoy cutting grass AND have alot of time on your hands, use low range.

My dealer threw in both the cutting edge and bucket leveling option when I purchased my 23s. Does save the bucket edge if using for hard pack.

Also, what D2cat suggests.

LP (liquid propane) is heavier than air meaning it was stay close to the bottom of any space. Can use a spray soap to detect any leak at your cylinders. Presume your cylinders are turned off? Propane will move with any air currents in the area and is likely what occurs when temp rise. If...

I know alot of folks disagree with mounting a single bucket hook in the center of the bucket due to possibly damaging the bucket. Attached are pictures on how I did my installation and help to strengthen the hook installation on my 23s. With the 23s not having alot of lift capacity, I should...

2012 purchased an MX5100DT with loader and rotary mower for our hunting camp. Had a single grab hook welded to the bucket center. Because the tractor might be operated by numerous individuals, some of which should NOT operate equipment, did not have hooks mounted on bucket ends for fear...

When securing a BX TLB to a trailer should the BH boom and dipper stick be lowered to the deck OR left secured in its normal non-use location, pinned? Does it matter? Any ideas?
