    Air Filter Warning on BX2230

    I would have to look at the one on my F350 to see if it's marked with the rating. But the ones on my semis tripped at 20 or 25 inches of water column vacuum that's not a lot so you should be fine. The main reason they use them is to minimize the opportunity for dirt to get past the filter as...

    Post Hole Digger......On a Backhoe

    That a slick idea. I imagine it would not be hard to adapt that ingenious idea to perhaps forks on the front of the tractor to work for those folks without a backhoe. Now to find a cheap/free power head....

    Yes, another newbie question, this time on fittings!

    Another thought for the future. NAPA stores ( at least here in Mid-Michigan) make hydraulic hoses. They could cut off the fitting on one end and replace it with one that matches up to your 3/8" FF coupler.

    2017 BX1870 - Busted off the Hydraulic Oil Filter Stud...:-(

    Since the alternative is to replace the casting. What do you have to lose? Find what thread the filter is and get/make a stud to replace it. A couple of things... 1). Make sure you use a high temp green Loctite for example #609. 2). So that the filter seals and sits flat make sure you drill the...

    Lawnmower options

    I use my Scag Tiger Cat 2 in the field a couple times a year. Works great yep you bounce in the seat some but it's got a lot of travel and doesn't bottom out. Does drink gas however mowing 8" grass. Mower is not cheap but they last forever....

    KTAC after Payoff Question

    Just a reminder the KTAC coverage is not full replacement coverage after the loan is paid off.

    Another thought is find the application that the turbo motor was in. Go to the parts books and compare part numbers for the internals....

    Mulch kit vs. grass flap (or equivalent) for z421kw-54?

    I have the Grass Flap on my Scag Tiger Cat 2 It works very well. I only use it when I'm close to the house or out by the road the rest of the time I have flap open. But them I am out in the woods where no one can see my years unless they come up the drive. For the leaves in the fall I bought a...

    ZD1021 HST LH Axle,Assy

    You might consider checking into having it welded & machined but depending on where you are it might not save enough to be worth the risk of the repair failing.

    Which Root rake grapples are the toughest?

    This is how I store mine on a pallet. I have another pallet with wheels that I store the grapple (or bucket) on with the forks. So I can wheel it around the barn to save space. Yes you have to tip the SSQA really far forward to connect it but have never had an issue putting it on our off ***note...

    My winch project

    I have the same winch mounted to the trailer it's powered by a stand alone ( no charging system connected to it) 300Ah lawn mower battery. One of my son's use it to load & unload a Neon that his girlfriend runs at the local circle track. It will do at least 2 weekends (4 loading & 4 unloading)...

    My winch project

    If I was pulling anywhere near the 3k yes I would agree with you. However this is skidding stuff already down that I can't get close enough to get with the grapple. The stress on the 3pt for what I am pulling is minimal. I could probably get away with a 500 pound pull winch but the 3k one is...

    My winch project

    I've been clearing some of the fallen trees to widen the deer paths thru the woods next to the house. Kind of a make work project admittedly but eventually I should have about a mile of pathways in the woods to enjoy. I wanted to avoid knocking down some of the saplings that are off the path...

    Insurance, Does your policy cover you and your tractor off your property?

    From a post I did back in August '22... Insurance guy here... ACV = Market value I.E what you could buy the tractor for from a private party. Stated Value = See ACV above this only pays ACV up to the "stated amount". Agreed value = This is where you have an appraisal for the value and the...

    Foot pedal controlled 3rd function

    I can see on something like the L2501 this being a possibility. But on my LX I have the brake pedals on the left and the HST treadle on the right... I think I'll stick with the buttons on the joystick.

    Foot pedal controlled 3rd function

    For some it might be a idea. But for me I would find it awkward to use both a joystick and a pedal. I would rather have all the controls on the joystick... But then that's my $0.02 worth.....

    Hydraulic tilt link for 2022 bx2380

    I made mine for my LX the only thing different I would do is get a 1.5" bore instead of the 2" I got. This is the write up I did. Might have to find a different source for the cylinder as the Ukrainian company I got mine from is probably shifted all production to the war effort...
