    Stupid Tractor Newbie question about snow depth

    Are you driving on this three foot base with your car or truck? If you are then the tractor will be fine to keep it up. If not than put the bucket back on and start chipping away at it. You will learn real fast how to run the bucket. Also is you want more torque be lite on the HST peddle. This...

    Impeller housing; Snowblower, now bare metal-paint?

    I would use this on the rust https://corroseal.com then I would hit it with http://www.plowslick.com. The first turns the rust to an inert black color that can be painted. The second is a paint used on plows to keep snow from freezing on them. I have used both of these on my mowers and a...

    BX mowing in high or low.

    I have a BX2380 with MMM. I mow on high for the most part. If the grass is high or I hear the mower bogging down I slow down and let it cut. Part of the field is wet most of the year so 4WD and low to cut it. I guess go by the sound.

    Hydraulic connectors on a BX2380 or in general.

    I have a kind of stupid question about these connectors. I have the BX2380 and want to learn a bit more about the hydraulic connectors. What type are they? Is there a good resource on how to rebuild them or repair them? I am looking into the no warranty period and what I should keep...

    Not a normal oil question

    I am TN and just bought two 2.5 gallon jugs to change the oil in my truck. I will use what is left to change the oil in my tractor this weekend. I went on line and ordered them and picked them up next day at Wally World. Keep looking it pops up but doesn't last long.

    Not a normal oil question

    OK I am not trying to get into what brand etc. I have a very simple question (at least in my mind). What is the deference between a regular gas engine oil and diesel engine oil? I am not trying to put it in my tractor or truck just wondering why 5W 30 for a gas engine is different the 5w 30...

    Oil spray by FEL hookups BX23

    Not really. A drip is a drip. You would have to loose a lot of fluid before you would notice a pressure loss. just a word of caution, when working with hydraulics and checking for leaks that are spraying use a piece of wood to find it. I know on aircraft we would carry a wooden ruler to...

    Barely 80 hours and

    After a few frosted malt beverages (so don't trash me if wrong) maybe when you bounced off the seat the PTO lever bounced enough to reset the error code. Stranger things have happened. I would clean the PTO cable and switch area then keep going and see if it does it again. I think the seat is...

    Barely 80 hours and

    Without trying to be a smart A---- did you engage and disengage the PTO a few times to see if it was just not moving all the way back? Also parking brake on etc. I have done this myself and this is how I figured this out.

    Throttle rpm?

    I use what ever RPM that does not bog down the tractor. If you go to low it will fight you to turn it back up.

    Diesel Anti Gel preference

    I live in TN and use Howes in my truck and tractor. If you are buying fuel at the station they will have number 2 with additives in it also so it won't gel.

    XG850 Sidekick soft doors

    She is the one asking if there is something out there. When she figures out it only stops the wind and rain not the cold she will ask for a heater also. I am trying to do this on the inexpensive side.
