    BX 2680 with no Loader, but has mounts, hydraulics, and stick installed. Where to find Loader?

    When I bought a BX, I purchased it with the pin on bucket, because I saw no need for a lot of implements. I still feel the same. Shortly after I saw a QA loader for the BX with a price of $2,900. I almost bought it for convenience, not intelligence. It was within 20 miles of my home.

    BX 2680 with no Loader, but has mounts, hydraulics, and stick installed. Where to find Loader?

    That is incorrect. If he purchases a BX2816, with attachment, it will hook up to his 2380 just fine.

    Any BX grass catcher owners?

    I entertained the idea of one, until I checked out the cost. I decided I will sell my MMM, and keep my JD riding mower. I like mowing with the JD just fine. I don't have much mowing to do anyway. I have a DR leaf vac, that I used during the fall, and that is all set up for the JD. Changing...

    Pros and cons of snow removal options

    I also live in Maine, (Western foothills). I get a lot more snow than towns just 15 miles south of me. My driveway is all blacktop and wide, about 300 foot long. A top of the line Honda snowblower did the trick through the 2008 storm until 2013, when I put a snowplow on my tundra. That...

    Rubber Floor Mats Stink

    As Per the Herculiner. i certainly wouldn't want to purchase an amount that would do my truck bed. I see they have spray 15 oz cans. Just curious if that would be enough, and is it as good as the normal Herculiner kit. Any links to Hawk67.

    JU FabWorks B and L Tiedown Brackets

    I ordered them for the front and back of my tractor, and was blown away at the quality. I installed them last fall, and they are just great. No way anyone would be disappointed with these.

    New 4 in 1 Bucket Paint Damage

    When I bought my used tractor, i had blemishs that I wanted to fix. I have found that the Rustoleum spray is very close to the Kubota color. The spray isn't as durable as the quart can. You can get the quart cans on the internet, in bundles of 2 qts, for less that $20 bucks. It is much more...

    BX 2680 with no Loader, but has mounts, hydraulics, and stick installed. Where to find Loader?

    You can eventually find whatever you are looking for on either Craiglist or Facebook Marketplace. I found a practically new snowblower for the front of mine about 2k less than new. Takes patience and constant checking. Then jumping when the price is right. Good price on that 2680. Don't...

    CMP dethatcher

    I don't know what you are trying to dethatch, but I bought a used 40 inch JD dethatcher, for 100 dollars. This dethatchers and most new JD dethatchers have the ability to add 8 inches to each side. I added just 8 inches to one side, giving me a full 48 inches. If you were to add 8 to the...

    Progress in the new house

    Good show.. I built those all over my garage, so I can get items off the floor and on shelves. Put a couple of heavy things in the middle of shelves to support things on the ends. Smart move.

    Time to test the Toothbar

    I purchase that toothbar last winter for my BX1880. This spring it turned my BX into a little monster. Surprising how much more I can do with it. I can put it on and off in minutes. It will do more than I ever expected after using the standard blade on the bucket. I have been waiting for...

    Anyone here own a boat, or know a lot about boats?

    Anodes are usually placed on most boats regardless of whether they are one the outboard motor. I had a 29 foot lobster boat where I had an zinc anode on the propeller shaft, and other one outside water cooling pipes. I have also had them on the outboard of all the smaller boats that had...
