Look at the tach on the dash..........are their markings on yours?

For 3-4minutes, I might leave it running. If I can see it and nobody's around. (think pets, kids, potential joyriders/thieves) More than that is kinda silly (except for the specific reasons @GeoHorn stated above)

So.......you just joined only to complain about supply chain issues? :mad:(and to tell us you're buying JD??) 🚎 Is this correct? 🤖 Most if not all of us who've bought equipment the past ~3yrs have had to wait. 😷 << hint* If you have a point, please make it....or if you have a question...

On the flat, sure. On a ramp leading into/out of water, I wouldn't do it. I think it's a lot like my TG1860 (might even be 4WD - sources vary) but if it's anything like mine, it doesn't have much for brakes. Do you swim well? :rolleyes:

This is an honest (not sarcastic) question. A far as BLOWING snow goes...why would you need rear ballast? I've snowblowed some pretty deep n' nasty, drifted snow here with my "glorified lawn mower" and never needed ballast. (though I do have rear chains that are useful on ice (which we get)

I had a silver dollar sized hole in an engine block of a 1978 honda civic welded up once, back in the early 1980's but what pressure would be on that---a few psi? For this, under load/pressure, I'd want some reassurance. (It will always fail at the worst time, right?) If I knew a top notch...

My BX will definitely lift the loader at idle (hot or cold).........i wouldn't normally expect it to do a lot of real "work" at these RPM's but for sure it'll lift an empty bucket. Have you done your 50hr service yet? Make sure you clean the hydraulic screen. Some pix I've seen online of...

"trial and error, right" - love it!

Do plow trucks have rear ballast?

Other than that weird scratch on one of the "dogs" (whatever you call them) mine has nearly no wear (that I can tell....maybe I don't know what to look for). (I think I backed into it in the summer and hit it with the 3pt or weight box and put a mark on it). I can only imagine that perhaps...

As promised, here's a couple pix I took while installing my k-connect blower yesterday. It's impossible to know the exact # of hours on it the last few winters, but it's likely to be 35-40(?) and as stated before in various threads, I certainly don't baby it. I bought the big $$ one, to have...

Actually, the 2 dogs (gears?) do go together with a pretty HD spring/springs. There's huge warning pix on it for pinching your hands when you engage it. (once/season). I think you can see Neil @ Messicks engage them in a video. (I'll go look for it now)>> see link below Sorry- I don't have an...

I raise and lower mine every time I go forward or backwards., My blower is the BX2830 (no, not a typo) Out by the (very busy) road, I even backdrag with downpressure (like you would with a bucket) Front wheels of BX sometimes right off the ground. I probably have 35-40hrs on the blower itself...

I am not @Trimley but it looks to be when he takes his FEL off (in the winter, to mount his snowblower???) that the little (stand) feet (or the bucket) don't have to sit on the ground. (or floor in the garage) Probably he can push it around by hand if on flat ground/garage floor. I am sure...

YUP.... o_O I guess I researched it well enough to know what will work best FOR ME.:rolleyes: No need for bigger/badder/stronger/faster.🥇

The Ads are multiplying.............and nobody can/will do much if anything about it.

Well -p00p/ the big popup on the bottom of the page was gone a couple days but is now back annoying as ever.

While I waited for my real PF's to arrive (backorder) I saw the use for SOMETHING and strapped 2 pipes up under my FEL's bucket and made my own pseudo forks. WOW! How useful are these? Jobs that would take me an hour of huffing and puffing by hand were done in 5 or 10 mins and then I was...

I keep forgetting my "New Brunswick" definition of snow and snow in (most parts) of the USA are 2 completely different things. It's nothing at all for us at least once a winter to get 2-3' of heavy, wet drifted snow in 1 dump. No BX known to man would even push it a...

None of that looks to fit a 2020 vintage k-connect system, so you'd be starting from scratch. The BX is a pretty small machine for pushing snow.....If I had to GUESS...It's for a different machine but almost certainly it looks nothing like my 2020 K-connect mounting system. It's a guess. You...
