I would start checking local listings like Craigslist. Many folks take off factory parts to customize and sell them off cheap

I'm tired of the push outs with the front blade, so I'm thinking once I start using the blower, I can expand my "open areas" create paths to each side door, without leaving large berms. I could probably keep the trail thru the woods ( where we did the blindfold quad time trails) clear so walking...

One of the first thing I put in after moving to N Idaho. Hooked into a 250 gallon propane tank. It comes with a weatherproof, vented shell. I also wired in a manual bypass switch, and a plug on the back porch for using a portable generator. A back up for the back up.

No luck, so I ordered a new BX5450HD and drive line from my local dealer. $2,800 installed OTD, at least I will have it this winter***128077;

Doesn't get much easier than that.

I got the freeze plug replacement heater. Really simple to install. I took a sharp punch, tapped a hole on a freeze plug, used a slide hammer to remove it than tapped the heater plug in place. Simple and it is very warm in maybe 10-15 minutes. No need to plug in all night

Hey Mike, look at the F150 with the Coyote motor (OHC 5.0) it has only 5 hp less than the ECO boost,( eco is measured with turbos spooled up) but you don't have to deal with all the turbo issues, and you get power and torque right off without spooling up turbos. There's way less to replace down...

Hey Kubotaman, have you purchased a new toy, 'er truck, yet?

I know when I use the snow blade to clear my roads, it stears better without the backhoe or any weight on the back. Question with a front mounted snow blower BX5450HD does it steer better with weight ON the back or OFF?

I purchased s land pride Grapple for my BX last year, as I needed help moving and cutting a semi load of firewood. Than I cleared over 100 (smaller, only 4-10" trees) the thing worked flawlessly. I looked at all the welds, and there is absolutely no cracking or bending. I've seen some pics where...

Keep my Stihl in the full plastic carry case in the backhoe bucket, and curl it lightly so it can't work loose

I would look up the recommended 10 year or Hundred thousand mile service recommendations too. Possibly do plugs, coil packs, all belts etc. Yes, it costs money, but preventative maintenance is worth a fortune in piece of mind, and maybe you will save on fuel mileage and get better performance too

I just use harbor freight Dolly's and scrap OSB. They roll around real easy

I can do everything you want to do on your list, with my BX25D. The adjustable snow blade moves enough to curl snow over the top, and 6" on a road would be an easy drive down the road. I regularly move a foot deep with no problem as long as you don't let it melt and get crusty. It's true the PHD...

Still seriously looking if there's a set up out there.

Taking the cab off actually saves a ton of time, and gives you unlimited access to the engine compartment. The Ford and GM V8 Diesels are huge, and it's hard to get to major components. Dodge is easier with the inline 6 Cummins. Just like doing a fuel pump on a truck, it's easier to remove the...

We get a bit of snow and ice here in N Idaho. My property is fairly flat, but I had the same worries with my BX. I purchased chains ($89.00) for the rear, and they are still New in the Box. It is piece of mind having them though. I plow a 450' driveway 15' wide and the 1,000' private road out...

First, good to hear everyone's ok. All the new rigs from every manufacturer are Very nice compared to trucks from 10 years ago. The new series of Ford Diesels (6.7 Powerstroke) are so far ahead of the old Diesel school bus motors of years past. Do some research and read comments from all the...

With my BX25D, I run a 9" auger. It will work for 6"x6" posts. The ground here is very hard and rocky. I'm talking pumpkins and tennis balls. I really didn't think the auger would work, but I am amazed at how well it works and lifts and throws rocks out. I did two fence lines one 350' and one...

This is the first time I can see the sun and it's not hazy and red. It's actually casting a little shadow this afternoon. The few sprinkles and light breeze are helping, still not good, but slightly better
