    Can someone confirm the hydraulic fitting size for this grapple (SCG0548)? Are the fittings 1/4"?

    Grapple Question

    Hi- I ran across a used Land Pride SCG0548 grapple located a little over an hour away. The dealer is asking $975, however I’ve gotten him down to $825. It has a some rust, but all tines are straight and the hydraulics work. It’s a first generation grapple and would work with my BX. Is this...

    Reuse Quick Disconnect

    Ok, good to know. Wasn't sure if he threads got distorted somehow when threaded onto the male NPT fitting - sounds like that should be all good.

    Reuse Quick Disconnect

    Hi- Is it OK to reuse a quick disconnect fitting? For example, I'm replacing some hoses on my loader with new hoses, which have male NPT fittings. Is it OK to reuse the female quick disconnect that screws onto the male NPT? There's nothing wrong with the quick disconnect. Thanks for any help!

    Loader Hydraulic Line Change and Question

    Thanks - it definitely was concerning...I tried not to panic, but could hear my wife going "ok, now what did you break and how much is it going to cost to fix it?" Thanks again!

    Loader Hydraulic Line Change and Question

    Hi- I have a BX1860 with the Kubota LA203 loader. I noticed late last week that one of the four hoses that come off of the hydraulic block on the lower-right of the tractor was starting to leak. On Saturday I went to the auto-parts store and got all the hoses made-up figuring that if one...

    Adding Rear Remotes to BX

    Nice - hydraulic top link is on my Christmas list this year. The install was pretty straight forward - tight at times, but overall easy to follow. The one part that stands out is how (almost comically) difficult it is to determine the correct orientation of the hard lines running from the...

    Throttle wont engage

    That’s pretty common. I might suggest getting a nylon lock nut or you’ll surely play this game again. I had the same issue when I got my 1860 last year, and the nylon lock nut solved the problem.

    Quick Disconnect Drip?

    Hi- I recently installed a Summit third function kit on my BX. I haven’t actually had any implants hooked up to the third function kit, but I have briefly operated the buttons on the loader joystick. Tonight I noticed that the male coupler had a slight drip...wouldn’t call it a leak, but a...

    Purchase Tires/Wheels Thru Parts or Sales?

    Hi- Yea, all bought and paid for. I paid a little under $500 thru whole goods. I also upgraded to the 2360 size tires.

    Bx2370 tippiness

    Same here - not a flat bit of land in site, except for our driveway. I have wheel spacers, ballasted tires (Rim Guard), rear ballast, and keep the loader very, very low (almost touching the ground) when traveling on any land with a slope, no matter how slight. Be careful out there!

    BX Front Wheel Spacers

    Thanks for the response. I've actually decided to get another set of spacers that are 1.25" overall as I like the idea of having the hub-centric design, which the 1/4" spacers don't have. Perhaps I will take them off, but for now, I'll give them a try. I don't use the mower deck (anyone want...

    BX Front Wheel Spacers

    That’s true, but adding to improve clearance between the wheel and tie rod end after increasing the tire size on my BX1860 (both front and rear) to same size as the the BX2360. I already have the bro-tek 2” spacers on the rear. The fronts don’t rub on the tie rod ends, but are very close. The...

    BX Front Wheel Spacers

    As luck would have it my local auto parts store had some 1/4” spacers for a 4 lug pattern that fit. Total cost was about $15.

    BX Front Wheel Spacers

    I wish I had that time. With an energetic 5 year old, finding any kind of time to do something unhurried and well is challenging to say the least. That said, yours is a great suggestion and I appreciate it.

    BX Front Wheel Spacers

    Hi- Anyone know where I might get some thinner (less than an inch) front wheel spacers for my BX1860? Thanks for any help!
