    Staying away from town!

    Yep, I won't go anywhere near our town today. It is the annual Ausable Canoe marathon. This is actually a big deal, and is about the most grueling canoe race out there. Paddlers come from all over the US, Canada, and as far away as Australia. This is not a casual drift type of trip. Two paddlers...

    Gardens are looking great.....so far!

    Been pretty good for the gardens this summer so far. Few times it has been very hot, but we have had some welcome rains that must be just what the plants like. The wife's yard gardens look awesome, so all is well. So far she has kept the deer away with a liquid called Deer Out. Got a couple...

    BX2380 might be broke.

    I sold my not so old BX2380 to my son and grandson. They bought a house in the town north of us. They had a big Martin bird house on a steel pipe. Last year a nasty windstorm blew it down snapping the pipe off about 2" above the ground. Well they forgot about it and today he was mowing and hit...

    Cal! the cops!

    Went to get the tractor and for a split second I thought someone stole my 2380 and replaced it with a Cub Cadet. It was YELLOW! Or so it seemed. Fact is it was yellow from all the pine pollen that had settled on it. I really hate that stuff, gets into everything. Didn't even start it, instead I...

    Damn! I feel like a newby.

    Two days ago, was the first time I removed the FEL from my new BX2380. I have done this numerous times with my old 2380. Where I park it is under an overhang on my shed. There is a concrete floor there, so level is not an issue. Position IS! Took it off no problem. Mowed the lawn and it came...

    Greenhouse worktables.

    We bought a potting bench from Sam's club a VERY long time ago and we put it in the greenhouse I put up two years ago. The bench had pop up side tables on either side of it and I had removed them long ago and just put the shelves in our shed. Got to looking at the greenhouse and decided a work...

    Bucket hooks on my new 2380

    I had some bucket hooks on my old 2380. I sold that tractor to my son, but the hooks came off and will be going on my new 2380 with Quick detach bucket. Old one was pin on bucket and I basically knew where they would work the best. Configuration of quick detach is different in layout. Where have...

    FEL while mowing.

    Just curious as to how many people that have a BX or B with a belly mower leave the FEL on while mowing? I usually do any loader work and when time to mow I drop the loader. Like I said, just curious.

    R4 tires.

    My old 2380 had turf tires as I thought would be better for my lawn mowing needs. We have mainly sandy soil so the turf is more on the loose side and at times when making turns the turf tires kind of tore up the grass. Yesterday was the first mow with my new 2380 that has R4 tires, and I was...

    Ice storm cleanup.

    It has been a long process for me. After all the big wood was cleaned up came the cleanup of the small stuff. Small limbs and sticks, and a boatload of pine needles. I had to gather everything into separate piles and load into the FEL take it to where I dump yard waste. WOW! I have quite the...

    Steel T-Posts

    Still working on our small, raised garden. The soil is in, mulch is down and T-posts driven. Here is my question, has anyone tried to drill holes in those things. I have drilled in hot roll steel and it is tough, but these things are at a whole new level. I wanted to put in a small metal gate...

    Stinkin cart tires.

    My wife and I do a lot of yard/ garden work and we have four carts that it seems I put them away in the fall and all is good. Spring arrives and half the tires are flat and now won't hold air. They are the standard 4.80/4.00-8 tires. So every year I buy replacement tubes and it's a pain in the...

    Box Blade help

    Hello all, Call me Hoser, I'm new to the forum and I have a question for some of the more experienced operators here. Last year I bought a brand new Kubota BX2380 with mowing deck and FEL. This year I put together a carry all deck and just bought a used Land Pride box blade. Never used one...
