    New BX1860 owner looking for advise

    I finally purchased a LandPride box scraper. I bought the BB1548. This coming weekend I'll be practicing using it in the back part of my property that I cannot see from the house. I don't want to use it yet where the neighbors or my wife can see the carnage that I intend to make. I have watched...

    Slow Leak

    I had a similar problem with one of my front tires. I was hauling some rocks over some rocky ground in the FEL and I noticed when I got back from the dump site that my RF tire went completely flat. I put 45 pounds of air in it, and the LF tire too. I checked both of the tires with a gauge for...

    New BX1860 owner looking for advise

    I actually don't have any experience with tractors so I don't know how to judge what is inconvenient or bad design. When I bought my tractor I was looking for something with a diesel engine because gasoline engines suck. All of my vehicles are diesel so that is what I stick with. I don't have...

    It seems that the box scraper has a lot of fans. Now I have to go shopping. Thank you all for your advise.

    Thank you Eric and Howie! I took a look at the link that Eric provided and I think that a box scraper looks like the most useful tool for my immediate needs. It looks to me like the BB05 or the BB12 would do the dirt spreading and driveway maintenance. The question that I have is; what are the...

    What is a Spring Tooth? If it is an implement that I can use, I may be interested in buying it. I need to remove some blackberry brush and some small cottenwood trees.

    3 point hitch towing - trailer mover

    I have an M116A2 trailer that I have a slide in camper mounted on. I tow that around my property without any issues. I have also towed the trailer with the 3 point arms connected to the lock points on the tractor instead of the hydrolic lifter arms. I know that my terminology is probably not...

    B3200 with 3pt County Line Log Splitter from TSC

    Wouldn't it be better to run the engine at a higher RPM? If I am not mistaken, the engine should be run between 2500 and 3000 RPM for the best performance. Running at the higher RPM would be better for the engine as well as the log splitter. I could be wrong, but that is what I have read in...

    New BX1860 owner looking for advise

    Hi, I just bought a new BX1860 to use on my new 5 acre property. I have never owned a tractor or even a rider mower before now. I have a 54" MMM and a FEL that came with the tractor. My property is mostly flat but has more rocks on it than I have ever seen in my life. I have used a middle...

    bx1860 overheat

    You mentioned that you only have the over-heating problem when you are mowing. May I suggest that you check to see if there is anything that is caught on one or more of the mower blade spindles? If there is rope or wire that got caught up in one or more of the spindles it may cuase enough...
