Just came in from removing the snow drifts from the driveway AGAIN!!! I know seat time is always good but it's starting to put the FU in FUN. Cursing down an inclined driveway, take my foot off the pedal, BX come to a stop in about 5 seconds as if you put the brakes on. Same going backwards.

If by WO4 you mean Chief Warrant Officer 4 congratulations! As high as you can go without being an Officer and that's no small task to achieve. My cousin was a WO4, was training helicopter pilots for the Air Force down south before he retired. Used to tell me about cursing 25 feet off the...

The bucket is not too hard to drill with a step drill bit and 1/2" drill. I did mine to mount a 2" receiver. Maybe the cutting edge itself is to hard but the bucket is not. If you find a wide enough replacement edge you could drill it and bolt one on. BXpanded also makes a straight edge you can...

Have had my BX1880 for 4 1/2 years and has just over 400 hours on it. The brake peddle is so high up that it is "unnatural" to always raise my foot to try and stop or slow the tractor. Once you take your foot off the throttle peddle the tractor slows down a lot automatically and if needed I'll...

Nice unit but $1,500 with tax is pretty steep. Even though my welds look like my 3-year old grandson used Elmer's glue I'd get a SSQA plate for $150 and a HF quick hitch for $140 and fab it up like Chim did. I really like the "pivot" feature. I did that for a front blade off a Craftsman lawn...

Nice heavy rake you got there, I like that it can pivot to follow the terrain. Noticed that you can't rotate the rake 180 - do you drive backwards? Seems if you drive forwards and catch it on something immovable it would tend to want to "fold" under the loader arms (maybe the chain stops...

That attaches to the back of the tractor. He wants to put the rake on the front.

Check out this boobtube link. At the about the 4 minute mark he mentions float not working and having to fiddle with the loader control to get it to work right. Maybe something with heavy duty wheels would let you use the float function. Front end rake

-1F with feels like of -23F Avg winds of 18 mph with max gust of 38 mph Only got about 2" of new snow but there's waist high drifts in driveway - told the wife we ain't going no where any time soon. Maybe Tuesday. :eek:

The equinox happens on Friday March 20 at 10:46 A.M. EDT. I can't wait!

Wow that's a lot of damage. We only got 16" of fluffy stuff up here.

I used a set from an old Craftsman lawn tractor my BX replaced, fit perfectly. Measure your rims, there may be options out there. Russell King seems to have a good idea there depending on price. Good luck!!!

Question is why is he selling it? Too big, too little, nothing to tow any more, can't afford the fuel, buys new every 5 years (had an uncle that did that)? Or is he having issues? Every vehicle sold may or may not have issues, luck of the draw sometimes even with highly rated ones. If you...

Ah, that make more sense. I miss-read the original post and though gee wiz they must be making the "crumple zone" awfully soft these days. I've owned some 1950's rolling steel on wheels that would have hardly had a scratch, bench seats with "optional" seat belts. Young and dumb as they say, just...

Here's an example of having to use the lock. :rolleyes:

First it is not a stupid question at all if you just don't know. And the answer to this question could save your life. The lock is to prevent someone from bumping the loader control stick causing the loader to move by 'accident'. This is handy if you're using the bucket to say hold a post...

It was ordered before the current bad weather hit us. I guess the part that gets me is it was at my local post office on the 29th and they sent out for another 3 day ride. Just doesn't instill a great deal of confidence in the system. I am happy to have it finally.

The diesel cloud point for most #2 is about 14F. Hot Shot anti-gel is good to 20F below the cloud point, so about -6F OAT. I use it and have not had any problems lately even at -15F. Pick your favorite flavor of anti-gel, add it, and be happy. Doesn't do anything to warm up the engine block or...

That'll buff out. :rolleyes: That's a lot of damage for a 10 mph hit. Last time I hit something it was a turkey at 70 mph. Cost me the deductible plus $1,700 insurance to fix it. But that was years ago.
