    Putin's New Tractor

    Putin has received a "tractor gift certificate" from the Belarus president for his 70th birthday. Maybe it is a hint for him to haul his junk back to Russia.:ROFLMAO: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-63176124

    Bx1880 - Will it fit my needs.

    Welcome to the forum. I have a BX1880 and what I have learned is although the chassis and mechanicals are the same as the BX2380, the tires (and front wheels) are smaller but the FEL capability is the same. At the time, the tire choices were R1's or turf tires. The R1's destroyed my lawn and...

    Larger tires on the BX?

    BX1880 Tire Upgrade I am very happy with the tires so far. I use 4wd less, ride is better and lawn condition is improving.

    BX 1880 - Do I need a 3rd Function Kit For a Grapple?

    Yes, you need a third function kit. There are two options that I know off, a real third function or a diverter valve that switches one of the joystick function for the grapple while pressing a button. The diverter system might be cheaper and easier to install. I have the Land pride third...

    Lennox Heat Pump Woes

    My issue is not just the coils, particularly in light of that all brands seem to have problems with them. The problem with this Lennox unit is that every year (except for one) something different broke. And now the cooling coil has failed again. So it is a total piece of crap. And in addition...

    New BX 1880 Owner

    Since I have pin on FEL, this is what I went with: I got my BX1880 with a pin on bucket because of the extra weight of the SSQA and the limited lift capability of the loader. So this is what I did: I went with a Land Pride SGC0548 grapple (now discontinued). I do not know how much I can lift...

    Pallet forks would be helpful

    I got my BX1880 with a pin on bucket because of the extra weight of the SSQA and the limited lift capability of the loader. So this is what I did: For the adapter: https://bxattachments.com/product/quick-attach/ For the forks at the time a better deal...

    Lennox Heat Pump Woes

    Be aware that every brand has issues with the coils: https://www.classaction.org/air-conditioner-leaks But I am having problems with everything with the Lennox. Only the compressor and the condenser coil (and maybe a control board) are still original since 2016. The corrosion is everywhere...

    Lennox Heat Pump Woes

    I still have time in the warranty for the compressor and the condensing coils to be replaced too. Those are the only original major components left, by then everything would have been replaced at least once. I had Bryant/Carrier units before and never had that many problems. When I was going to...

    Lennox Heat Pump Woes

    Well, I have 3 ton Lennox heat pump that was installed new in September 2016 with a 10 year warranty. In October 2017, the blower motor had to be replaced. In April 2018, the condenser fan motor had to be replaced. In June 2019, the evaporator coil had to be replaced (leak). In September...

    New BX 1880 Owner

    Well I can tell you that I am very happy with my BX1880. It does what I need and I don't need any more tractor. However, I got a grapple from the beginning for storm and general clean up and it is what I use the most after the mowing deck.

    2 Wheel Drive

    When using the differential lock, you have to be gentle, there are no clutches involved, only four pins engaging to lock. So, you have to be stopped, then press on the pedal (it might not go all the way) and apply a slight amount of wheel movement in order for the pins to fall in the holes and...

    Lest we forget

    I was in my office at the Kennedy Space Center when one of the guys got word that a plane had crashed into one of the towers. We all rushed to the boss's office and turned on the TV. While we were watching the second plane hit and we realize that it was an attack. We went into lockdown at the...

    Daily Chuckle

    I like Ron White's version of the same theme: "His wife's cooking was so bad that he would give it to the dog. The dog would try it and then would lick its butt to get the taste off."
