    Blue tooth ear buds. Which are best over all for noise reduction, music, and noise cancelling.

    Not earbuds, but this is what I bought to wear while on the tractor, cutting grass, any noisy outdoor chore. They are very comfortable even with glasses on and the sound is fantastic, I listen to audio books. For the price, comfort, and protection you can go wrong...

    My first tractor…?

    I have 5 acres as well, 99% cleared. As I was on a budget I purchased the BX1880 with mid mount mower, front blower (I live in Canada) K-Connect etc. and Ballast box. Takes me about 4 hours to mow everything. I have no regrets in regards to the BX1880 it is very capable and does everything I...

    BX Series Land Pride Grooming Mower vs. Belly Mower

    My situation is fine, with the MMM I don't take it off during the summer (unless required to) I just remove the loader and ballast box, to drop the weight. I typically always mow in 2wd and in high as I cut weekly I never get bogged down. But I would not see an issue adding a rear mount finish...

    Keeping the K-Connect and Snow Blower?

    That was my thinking, but the blower does work well when the conditions are right.

    BX Loader - Coming off and on crooked!?!

    Ok, looks like it was a me issue. For the record the loader is not crooked, works perfectly etc. Rookie mistake, when removing the loader I must have hit the control in the wrong direction, this caused the arms to move and not the bucket, I suspect when not under load the cylinders can move at...

    Forks that clamp onto bucket

    Clamp on forks arrive on Saturday and I'm impressed with the overall quality for the price paid. They install easily and even when tightened no fear of dimpling the bucket as they have a plate to spread the load and over sized nuts (LOL) to spread the pressure. As many other have said with the...
