    Rear Blade Angles

    About the pull the trigger on a 6' rear blade for my BX2380. The Blade i'm trying to get doesn't give the actual angles of the pin holes. I could call (and I will if I need to) but was wondering if there is standardization generally speaking with angles on rear blades. It looks by eyeball...

    Pallet Forks for a BX

    Well....Its time for me to finally finish getting all the useful attachments for my BX2380. I was at the kubota dealer inquiring about a rear blade and pallet forks. The BX can only lift like 600lbs maybe more with some hydraulic chicanery. So does the BX need heavy duty forks? I would...

    BX 2380 Front Turf Tire uneven wear.

    I really liked my Grass master 18-8.5-10 turf tires for my BX. As this is my lawn mower too it's a perfect match. But i've noticed that the tires are wearing faster on the outside of the tire verse the inside .....on both front tires. I do a decent amount of loader and snowblower work on...

    One hydraulic coupler from my snowblower.....

    will not latch. This isn't an over pressurization problem. When I push the female end onto the male end it goes all the way in (and can rotate back and forth).....but the female sleeve will not "pop" over the male end to complete the sex...I mean connection. I was wondering if there is...

    Same gear box oil for all?

    Have a BX2816 blower, 60 inch MMM deck, and a front axel case in my BX2380 waiting for oil other than Hyd fluid. Can I just use a good quality full synthetic 80w90 oil for all? BX2816 and BX2380 call for 80w90... the MMM deck calls for SAE 90 API GL5 gear oil. Is that the same as 80w90?

    Soooo is Iso Heet a good Anti Gel?

    I assumed it was just for getting water out of fuel and diesel. Saw a guy on YouTube use it for anti gel purposes but didn't really go into detail. Reading a bottle of the stuff it only talks about cleaning injectors, removing water and "preventing fuel line freeing". When googling...

    Best Orange Paint for Snowblower?

    Have a BX2816 snowblower for my BX2380. With this huge dump in the PacNW I finally got to use the thing. While it worked like a champ and I"m the new best neighbor...... I got into a little bit of rocks which chipped some paint off both the augers, impeller and most of all impeller housing...

    Parasitic Draw

    I have a BX2380 I bought right before lock down fever hit. Every 5-6 days the battery would drain if I didn't run the tractor (good battery). I figured out over the last couple of days how to test for parasitic draw and low and below I have a 300 mA draw coming from the work light circuit...

    OEM mulch blades vs Gator mulch blades AND 60” MMM mulch kit installed

    Has anyone who’s running a mulch kit on a BX MMM tried BOTH blades? I’ve read of side discharge guys running Gator blades...but couldn’t find a comparison of guys using a mulch kit and gator blades. I’m looking to see if I can create more lift vice the OEM mulch blades....which barely have any...

    Bx2380 60" MMM with mulch kit suction question.

    I seem to have issues tying to mow my grass a little higher. I want higher grass so that it is more healthy and requires less water. ...but right now my mower can't seem to suck up the grass laid over by the front tires. This leads to tire tracks of laid over uncut long grass in my lawn...

    MMM deck weirdness

    Anyone else have a problem with their mower deck that has one wheel lower than the three others and one of your leveling bolts maxed out on the high setting to be able to level the rest of the mower properly. My front right wheel is one hole different than the rest. This works when I level the...

    Sealing gaps in mulch kit?

    BX2380 with 60" MMM deck. Just got the kit but haven't drilled the holes yet. I noticed some gaps left between the insert baffles and mower deck. Even after full install (drilling and bolting it down) there will be gaps. Has anyone put some sort of sealant down to bridge those gaps? Seems...

    wrong wheel spacers maybe? or can I change out bolts?

    So i just got these in the mail for my Bx2380. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012SOTV9G/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The problem is the hole for the lug nuts only fit a 11/16 socket and the lugs on the tractor are 13/16. Because my lack of knowledge on the...

    lifting Mower deck for cleaning

    While it's easy for me to lift one side of the mower deck.....I haven't figured out a way to clean it. Today I lifted it to peak under and almost hurt myself and possibly damage the deck when I shifted the weight to much and the rollers rolled towards me and the deck away on to it's back....I...

    Coolant smell with some fluid loss....new 2380

    Have 14 hours on my machine and I’ve had to add some coolant already. Does anyone smell coolant when they turn up the RPMs when say mowing or something? I get a whiff of coolant and it seems to keep losing it some where. Not a huge amount....but I just hope their isn’t something deeper than...

    Greasing a BX2816 snowblower questions

    I just got my tractor about a month ago....and haven't had a chance to test out my snowblower on actual snow. I did hook everything up and it works as advertised. My question is how much friggin grease do the augur shaft take??? Even with a Lock N lube...you have to get the right angle to...

    New BX2380 owner....grease question

    Before I started searching this forum.....I was of the opinion that all grease was mostly the same.....boy was I wrong. I'm in need of a grease gun....and more importantly ....I think I might need two of them. I have a FEL, MMM, and Snowblower. It seems the FEL needs Moly type of...

    2816 Blower gear box lubrication

    Just bought my BX2380 and got the 2816 snow blower. I'm inspecting it before I test it out for myself and take the top screw off the Gear box (fill hole) thinking there would be dip stick on it or at least be able to look down the hole and see gear oil. I saw neither. When I manually rotated...

    Tire loading for Turfs on BX vs B?

    NERD ALERT!!! (the OG of trigger warnings :D) When comparing Tractor Weights last night I noticed that the B2301/2601 was only slightly heavier than a BX2680 and BX2380. B2301 = 1566lb, B2601 = 1632lb vs BX2380 =1443, BX2680 = 1521. With larger tires the ground contact PSI could actually be...
