that's the best proof that the ROPS actually works.

After reading the stories here, I feel rather lucky. I ordered right when the inventory was starting to get low before the shutdowns drastically affected availability. I ordered my BX2380 (+ 60" deck and FEL) from a small local dealer (2 locations) back in June 2020. They had the 2380 in stock...

I totally agree. Especially considering the less than stellar driving habits of some...:LOL: Dan

I'm not sure on policy for posting links from other forums, I'll send you a message directly with the thread on the L48, perhaps you can sign up for that forum and ask those folks directly. good luck Dan

There are a few youtube videos where the youtuber goes over the specs with a state trooper. One is Tractor time with Tim with Indiana State Trooper. From my understanding you need 2 chains/straps for all equipment for 1st 10' length then 1 additional chain/strap for each other 10 feet (or...

As i understand, many states follow the federal regulations, at least for commercial transportation. And that's the rules i follow. I've not researched non commercial regulations even though I'm not commercial. As i understand it, if the securement chain/strap crosses the cargo and attaches...

Thanks, I will read over that thread. Yes, I was thinking that easy remove feature will be nice for when I do trailer it to the large lot. It hadn't been done in a year last time I cut it, took about 5 hours total and it was hot in the Georgia Summer sun/humidity. thanks!

Yes. I wear hearing protection - I have isotunes bluetooth set so I can listen to music and have osha approved sound reduction.

Did you look to see if the parts are stored on the tractor?

I've recently taken on mowing a large lot where I'm out in the sun for hours with no shade so I'm looking at options for a canopy for my BX2380. Specifically, I'm looking at the rhinohide for durability as I'll also be mowing around/under trees at other location and most likely be lazy not want...

I was doing some digging - maybe you do have the parts? I found this on another form while 'googling'... "The lift rods are supposed to be stored on the left upright of the FEL. You pass them when getting on and off the tractor. They are easy to overlook. The arms themselves are stored under...

When looking at parts diagram's on Messick's website (you can create free login to view diagrams), it shows them by groups. Have you called dealer and asked about selling the groups, if no kit exists? Have you tried calling Messick's? My local kubota dealer mentioned about them and their...

I agree on tow mirrors! My F150 has the optional tow mirrors (not standard on tow or max tow packages) that telescope out 2" - these are basically the same mirror on the superduty's.

I saw those, they inspired me to make my own for around $26.

I made a set from golf cart mirrors and magnets I bought from Amazon for my FEl. The magnets had integrated screws, they were just barely long enough to work with the mirrors I bought . magnets - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0923LLS6N/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1...

Before and after pictures sounds like a great idea! A few things from my experience dealing with growing grass (fescue) from seed (Georgia) Plan out how you will water that large an area of grass. You don't want to be dragging hose/walking on wet dirt/seed frequently - that's a sure way to...

TSC does not carry every make/model in store that they have online. They have poly dump carts like I have as well as metal ones. As far as gorilla carts, big box stores usually carry them (also does not have every one in store). I have found TSC charges for shipping while big box stores...

I have two poly dumpcarts. First one I purchased was from TSC (ground works I believe) it holds around 1200lb or so if I remember. The 2nd cart I bought was a gorilla cart (also around 1200 lbs as I recall) I built rack using 1x2 and ply wood to add height to the one I got from TSC (front by...

I bought a bunch of new metric sockets to do my 50hr service. I only had up to 19mm, now i have full set up to 35mm i think. I had sockets up to 1 1/8" - for hitch ball nuts. Better to have and not need than need and not have. Here's a closeup view of the setup. 22mm bolt, nut , washers and...

I wanted to update every one the progress. I ordered a set of grade 10.9 M22-2.5 x 170mm hex cap bolts and received them yesterday. They are a perfect fit for my 3point hitch. I ordered them from Ziegler Bolt & Nut House (how cool a name is that?) out of Canton Ohio. I ordered these because...
