When new, things are stiff, and I guess they expect some learning curve time for most folks. Having a longer lever makes fine adjustments easier. Once the detents loosen up a bit and it takes less force, having a shorter lever might be more comfortable and your hand has to travel less to have...

To get up those hills you need either more HP or less weight. The old B2650 or the new LX version has about the same hp and lifting capabilities as your L, but weighs a lot less. Mine goes up hills easily with the BH on, loaded rear tires, and a full bucket of gravel. I agree with the folks...

The sending units are mechanical with a pivoting float or a column float. The signal is sent to the gauge based on resistance, but most of the signaling mechanism are not linear. The column type has a magnet on the float that passes by points in the column which changes the resistance signal...

My fuel gauge is digital and seems to be accurate. Anyone know if they use a different pick up style for digital vs analog? I would think if it's inaccurate it would be the pickup, not the gauge. My dad's BX has an analog gauge and it shows full until about half empty then goes down quickly.

My experience is completely different. I can run in high with much less that wot and still not bog down. In mid range I can move around at idle and usually don't go over 2000 rpm for traveling around the yard. I've been very pleased with the L, M, and H ranges. I also have the BH77 and rear...

Yes, that makes more sense, thanks.

I'm confused. If you engage the rear pto to run your chipper, how can you open the door to get out? If you are out running the chipper, how do you get back in without opening the door and having the engine shut down? Those 2 sentences I quoted seem to contradict each other. I like the idea...

You guys crack me up. Zero ground speed can be accomplished with engine off, engine at idle, and engine at max rpm. Ground speed is completely independent of rpm. But wait, at full forward HST pedal, you can adjust ground speed by increasing or decreasing rpms. Ground speed is directly a...

Greek "tachos" means speed, and "metron" means measure. Tachometer measures the speed of the engine, not the speed of the vehicle the engine is in. No, I'm not from ancient Greece, I google it because I was curious ;)

Are your rear tires filled? With the backhoe on and my rears filled, I've carried over 1800 lbs with my forks and the rears never felt light. The forks won't lift near that much, but they will carry it. Rear ballast is a must for heavy loader work, filled tires means less additional ballast...

I have a BH77, but the hydraulic principles are the same. Fast rpm, jerky response but fast, slow rpm, smooth slow operation. I've found the sweet spot for mine is around 1,800 or so, but if I'm trying to do intricate work (softly exposing a pipe for instance) I slow it down to around 1,500...

I've got mine 3 years ago, I washed it once about 2 years ago. I'm sure I'll wash it again at some point. If the buckets get too dirty I have an old pile of gravel out back. Scoop and empty a few times cleans it nicely.

My common sense tells me that if someone else can do it, so can I, except for major surgery which is hard to do once you put yourself to sleep ;) I change my own tires, do my own repairs, etc. As an example, tree guy wanted $4,600 to take down 3 large pines near my house. I had already dropped...

That makes it premeditated. Much better to tell the cops you had to shoot them to defend yourself after the fact ;)

How much is it to rent a mini-ex for 2 hours? Please don't try to answer that question. The point is, I use my backhoe very often for a wide variety of things simply because it's there and speeds things up. In rental rates it's paid for itself a few times already. I take it off the tractor...

Loader and backhoe stay on year round unless I'm using the box blade. I mow with a z-turn. I think you would be very happy with your plan for next year.

I don't have an answer for you, but I'm grabbing 🍿 and awaiting some good answers.

Photos can be deceiving, but I didn't see anything there that I'd feel unsafe riding around with my BH on. So with no BH, mowing shouldn't be a problem if done properly. In that situation, I would go for the LX. With 11 acres you'll benefit from the bigger tractor more than you might think...

I don't have a specific answer other than to say the dealer filled mine, purchased new, and no issues with them at all.
