    House wiring question.

    The two sources must be on the same leg of the power coming into the house. Usually you just hook the black to the incoming power and the red to the bulbs. If you turn the switch off and back on relatively quickly it should turn the lights on and keep them on. I have not heard of anyone...

    Snowblowing w/ turf tires - chains needed?

    I have a BX2200. I hardly ever use the snow. blower as I have a 6' plow mounted on my loader arms. Live in Massachusetts where we usually get rain at then end of a snow storm. If we are supposed to get 6-8" I may go out during the storm to clear a path. Had the tractor since 2001, never had...

    VOIP?

    I've been using VOIPO.com for several years. Service is OK. they seem to be the cheapest. $185 for 2 years. I don't rely upon my voip line as I can use my cell either direct or through wifi calling.

    Early BX2200 with LA211 FEL - loader hoses messed up

    Pictures at: https://shelkol.com/MyProjects/TractorPictures/index.html but they don't show it well. I actually built a cab and permanently mounted them on the cab. Then I purchased another left side upright ( the one without the valve mount ) and replaced the right side upright. If you want...

    Early BX2200 with LA211 FEL - loader hoses messed up

    I modified my loader so the valve always stays on the tractor even if I remove the loader. So the couplers have not been moved in almost 20 years

    Early BX2200 with LA211 FEL - loader hoses messed up

    Yes, do not run without that connection. If you do the hydraulics circuit will not be complete and will be blocked.

    3pt. Hitch Rock Saw or Wheel Saw?

    I bought a harbor freight bauer rotary hammer drill and some feathers and wedges to break the larger rocks into manageable pieces. Total outlay about $150. Not as nice as just cutting them, but a hell of a lot cheaper. I suppose it also matters how many you have to do, I only had 4 or 5 to...

    Mowing lawn. Bucket on or off?

    I leave the loader arms on but take the bucket off. Less work to just remove the bucket and still somewhat maneuverable.

    need some help installing bx2750d snow blower on my Kubota BX1800

    I Have a BX2200 with the same issue. I bought a second left hand post and put it on the right side of the loader. Then I fabbed up a mount to permanently mount the valve to the tractor - this was easy for me as I made a cab at the same time. If you have the 3-way or 4-way valve you should be...

    Home made land plane

    I only want to level out my lawn so I'm thinking light duty. I have lots of decomposed leaves to spread. I have 3" channel from heavy duty relay racks, so 6' long. I also have some 3" angle for cross pieces. I would look around for retired snow plow cutting edges. Does this sound too light duty.

    B2650 Cab Noise Reduction

    I added sound deadening to the roof, sidewalls, and sealed under the seat of my BX2200. Finally opted for a pair of Bose noise canceling headphones. Looks like you went through much more work then I have though

    Hearing protection with music when running the tractor? What do you use?

    Actually I think a cab is noisier as it contains the sound. I have a cab in the winter and must use noise protection or I get a headache. Mowing in the summer without the cab doors, windshield etc is fine without headphones but I usually use them anyway. I've tried all sorts of noise reduction...
