    MX4800 no start problem and another cure

    Yesterday, my 2 week old MX4800 with 27.5 hours (no regen yet) would not start. I have had this problem with my BX2660 and found it was the lever for the PTO so was sure I could find the problem on the MX. I knew it was a safety but after a dozen times each of playing with the seat switch...

    posting photos.

    I see a lot of threads with photos, not attachments, but photos in with the text. How does one do this? I have tried pasting, dragging and dropping does not work. Only way I have been able to post a photo is by going to "Managing Attachments" Thanks in advance, M

    MX4800 first week review

    ADK, I find I back up with the grapple open and the top sticking in the dirt and I can rake up rocks and limbs, works pretty good. Picking single small items up with it is a learning experience as you can't see it and most times you need to curl the grapple under it. But I am getting the hang of...

    MX4800 first week review

    I have had this MX4800 one week now, have put 14.6 hours on it. I thought this was a good tractor, but I was wrong. It is a GREAT tractor! I was originally looking at an L3901, then an L4701, but my wife (whom I got this tractor for her birthday) said “bigger is better” so we ended up with...

    BX Stabilizers

    I have had my BX2660 for 7 years, I love it except for 2 things: 1. Sticks jam up into the trans cooling fan. 2. I hate dealing with the stabilizers, takes a long time and you have to have a 3/4 inch wrench handy. I keep them coated with never size but they are just a pain. I contacted Mark...

    7 foot Grapple arrived

    Grapple arrived today, I put it on and am amazed at what a useful tool it is. I thought it would be good for brush and limbs… I started carrying stumps I had pushed over with the dozer, small ones then bigger ones. It handled EVERYTHING, The largest were from trees around 2 foot in diameter...

    Daily Chuckle

    Okay, I have to add one… Man walks into his bedroom with a sheep under his arm, his wife is laying there on the bed. “Darling” he says, “I just wanted to show you the pig I am forced to have sex with whenever you tell me you have a headache”. His wife looks at him and says “You really need to...

    Mouse + Fuel Lines = PITA

    I use a very simple, very efficient mouse trap in my shop. It is a plastic bucket with a brazing rod run through the middle cross wise at the top. Threaded onto the rod is an empty beer can (so it spins on the rod) I put peanut butter on the beer can, fill the bucket half way with water (plus...
