    Where are you mounting your switches?

    I didn't add any switches on my tractor. However, I have looked into adding some more on my Ranger. Companies make nice panels to hold rocker switches. I would do something like this one. It would be also an opportunity to add other types of connectors like USB etc.

    Sigh, I need to tap one of my lug holes. Any advice?

    I'm thinking that if someone was capable of doing a big job, they probably wouldn't be asking. But, hey, I could be wrong.

    Snow chains…do I need them?

    I have an L2501 HST with R4 loaded tires. I thought I didn't need chains until I almost slid off my gravel road. That could have been bad since it had quite a slope off the road for drainage. I suggest putting chains on even if you go with ladder chains like I did.

    Sigh, I need to tap one of my lug holes. Any advice?

    I don't know if it will hold the torque, but if it will, I'd try a heli-coil.

    Which do you use more?

    Bucket, but I also use pallet forks and carry stuff on pallets.

    Thoughts on Upgrade for my B2301

    I didn't need a midpto, so I went with the L2501. If you need/want a midpto, I'd go with the LX2620.

    Furniture dollies?

    I don't use dollies for attachments, but I take off the castors and put them on other frames. The dollies are pretty cheap on sale. Otherwise, I think they are too short for most furniture. I put attachments on pallets.

    BX23S dealer trade or private sale?

    If your state has sales tax, include that in your math.

    seeding after land clearing

    I wouldn't put rye on it. I'd restore with native grasses although the fish and wildlife or agronomist in your seed supplier are both good choices as well as the local farm extension agent.

    Neil Messick has videos on YouTube that explain the mowers for each model.

    New addition to the MX lineup in the form of an MX4900!

    I wish it was even less HP. That seems too close to the 54, but what do I know. I don't sell them and don't really need either one. ;)

    Loader won't lower unless I use FLOAT

    Must the loader valve attached to the control. I’d try taking it apart and clean it. Maybe it has a bit of rust or debris in it.

    Want a new tractor. Looking for suggestions.

    Do also look at the MX5400.

    Want a new tractor. Looking for suggestions.

    I'd consider a Grand L 4060 or 4060LE with upgraded loader or MX5400 all can be had with a cab. Keep the BX for what it is doing now.

    Look at the Shawn Woods YouTube videos. He has a lot of techniques.

    L2501 water in fuel

    If you added a second pump and it ran fine, it seems like it is starving for fuel. Did you replace the fuel filter?

    Implements for our MX5400

    Congrats, nice tractor. I’d buy an implement for the weight on back. I do road maintenance, and so I’m partial to a rear land plane. You might be better off with a rear blade or box blade.

    Land smoothing/leveling rock root hard soil conditions

    I think I'd try a flail mower with hammers or disc attachment. I'd use a land plane after instead of a box blade. The difference is that a land plane will automatically drop the soil. Do mow it short before you disc if that's what you will try.
