Before I even got my BX25D, I got the BXExpanded skidplate and quick on rear receiver. The skidplate, once the front bolts are in, comes off and on with no tools. Nice and stout, well made. My only complaint was the spacers used with the front bolts were just short sections of thin wall conduit...

I have a old bell, that used to be at my parents place.After forty years, the posts rotted and the bell came down and sat in their barn for years. Now it is my turn to have it at my house. It has wrought iron mounts and the bell is dated 1859. It was on 8"x8" posts and sat about 6 and a half...

Recently, I've noticed when my well pump (submersible, 80' from the house) shuts off, I get a single 'water hammer' clank. My feed pipe comes out of the ground, then attached to a few floor joists en-route to the pressure tank and switch. I do not recall the shut off being so severe (ca-junk!)...

Before anyone gets excited, no, I have not done this, but would like to. I have found when I am 'stuck' and want to engage this, it is a real PITA to press the lever down with my heel and deal with getting unstuck. IIRC, one of my dads old subcompacts had a simple lever/knob that you could flip...

I have to pump out the muck in my pond. 5 gallon buckets hauled to the FEL do not cut it. I could do 10 FELS a day for a few years. I get filthy with the crap splashing. Thinking PTO powered diaphragm trash pump say 3 or four inches capable of a 15' rise. Thoughts/suggestions?

I had a few River Birches on my lake. Wanted to get rid of a couple (out of fifty!) These two had quite curved trunks and were leaning out ofer the lake, living on the edge. First one, maybe 8" in diameter and forty fee tall/long (tilted over the water). Cut, dropped, put a chain on it and...

In the past, I have used a trusty spade and sweat to dig out my ditch on my 1/2 mile long driveway, with Cool Hand Luke going though my head for the days I am working, thinking about eating forty eggs, having the mans dirt in the bosses hole and spending the night in the box. Now with the BX and...

I'm considering welding on a 5/16" hook on my bucket but... I do not want to suffer and 'side effects' from it being there. Going on a 12" bucket for a BX25D. I'd love to see pictures and suggestions of locations for one or more.

I got my tractor with the smaller, 8" bucket and was thinking about adding a 12" to it so... if you have a 12" for sale or know where one is, give me a holler via PM:)

BX25D No problem removing the BH last fall. Easier than I thought it would be. I imagine it will be a little more difficult to put it back on in a week or two. I was wondering.... does anyone apply a little grease to the bottom pins the BH hooks on to the sub frame? I put a little white lithium...

Broke two this past weekend being stupid.:eek: These are the clevis that attach between the bottom arms and the turnbuckles. Two per side. "U" shaped clevis with a pin and a hairclip. Anyone have a measurement? Should I just call my dealer and ask him to mail me a few? I've got a temporary...

Everyone on this forum seems to be a great person, unlike many I've been on. Not everyone is a expert (I know I sure am not) though many provide excellent advice from experience and just a :) general trying to do good by each other. It would be nice if there was a like/dislike button so the...

Can the swing speed of a BH be adjusted/changed, perhaps by using a a restriction or something? I do not want to lose any power and I've found it a little tricky from time to time that if I am not careful, the boom moves way too fast, causing violent shaking and the dropping of material from an...

I've got a Troy Bilt Chipper, 10 Hp. I use it about once every three months for about two hours. Two years ago, I got rid of the belt drive and converted it to a centrifugal clutch and chain drive. Easier to start, quieter and no more belts burning up! Today, I am chipping away. Seems a little...

I have a stack of cedar logs in the back of my property. Saved for making posts out of, edging on trails. Probably 20 logs, 12" in diameter and 25 or so feet long. I need 5 12' sections. Measured, Cut and laid them on the bucket (48" on a BX25D). Nothing on the 3Pt as the only implements I have...

I have a BX25D. Took the BH off and installed the 3pt and then the LandPride RB1560 with skid shoes. I'll be snow plowing a gravel driveway. This is a multi-part question. Points to be awarded based on accuracy and brevity.;) I did the work on my garage floor, it is fortunately pretty level...

I bit the bullet and bought a bottle of fuel conditioner and a bottle of biocide. I buy fuel in four gallon increments. Probably only use 16 gallons a year, at most. It is a real pain to measure of the treatment (these are slightly 'rich' amounts): 50Ml - 4 gallons - Conditioner 10Ml - 4...

Sadly, I have no room to store my BH when it comes off in a month or so. I'll tarp it up and it will have to do. The thing is, I have to leave it on the dirt. It is not level ground. So..... I was thinking about placing some 4"ThickX8"WideX16"Long Cement block under it, one under each outrigger...

49.8 hours on the little beast. I have a very good dealer as both the FEL and BH have the power to toss the entire machine about effortlessly. Meaning I feel there is nothing that I can do to make it more powerful, the dealer did it on initial setup. I have to work carefully. I have a very...

Last summer, when I decided to by a BX25D, I looked for a used one. Only found two, both scammers. So I decided to buy new. My neighbor recommended Land & Coates, Inc., he had just bought a used Kubota from them. But in the interest of fairness, I first went to my closest dealer. The sales guy...
