Super udt2. My manual says change oil and hst fluid at 50 hr. No fuel filters are due to be changed but all the rest was done as you stated Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Well I finally got 50 hr on ole Bessy (BX1880) so I had the tractor picked up and serviced. Just out of curiosity how much are folks paying for their first 50 hr service? Mine was routine, oil, hydraulic fluid and their two filters replaced. $340. Also transportation is for free (part of my...

Well it goes like this..... we have 10 acres on the Coral Coast and two weeks ago I got a call that sai I had to be in Fiji before April 12 as our container was in New Zealand from Boston. I’m here to get the container and rough it as our house is not complete and the misses does not like to...

Well I’m in Fiji now but my wife said the dealer came and picked up the BX so they could look it over. They have had it for a week now. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

it was at the very most about 2 TBS to 1/8 of a cup, if that. I don't believe the dealer filled up the hydraulic fluid compartment before he sold it to me. From now on, I'll check oil and HF before I ever start the tractor. Still don't know where that little puddle of HF came from. I was...

Recently bought a new BX1880 with FEL, MMM and quick attach everything. I added the quick attach on from what was available. I've never run hydraulics and never had a diesel either. I have 8 hours on the machine. Yesterday I removed the MMM as I needed to use the FEL in some swamp/wet area and...

I do not have the mulch kit

OK, today it was 50 degrees and our front yard was full of leaves and pine cones from the previous that did not do lawn maintanence in the fall. Now there are zero leaves and no pine cones in the lawn. These G6 blades turned them to dust. Incredible what this BX1880 does with these G6 blades...

Mikester, I’ll report back as I get more experience on these blades.

OK, the blades arrived, installed and tested today. They work great. This link to Ebay is what I used on my BX1880, 54" MMM deck. I torqued them to 80 ftlbs. It was an experience, as the BX is new to me and this was the first time I took off the deck and put it back on. Now I know that I can...

I believe the G6 blade is 396-812 for the BX 54” MMM deck. I just contacted a mower parts guy on eBay and he stated the same. Just ordered them on eBay and will post after they arrive and I install. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm thinking about updating the blades on my 2017 BX1880 with 54" deck. Blades are 18 5/8 long and the center hole appears to be 7/8. Question is what Gator blades do you use? G6, G3, etc.? has anyone put them on their BX ##80, and do you like it? Where did you buy them?

Oh my guys, I just wanted to thank you all again for convincing me that I had to have a FEL. My wife was not too happy about the extra expense.......until yesterday. We needed to move about half of a garage’s worth of stuff out back to our shed(100 yd). Normally we would carry it by hand. Fired...

Got my toy....errr....tractor yesterday just be for the snow hit last night. Had to put ROPS down to get in the garage. Never had so much fun moving snow before!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I did a lot of work for a biotech company that was starting out called Alexion. They were a $6 million company and I helped them develop two drugs called eculizumab and pexiluzumab. Both drugs inhibit a protein called C5 from splitting into C5a and C5b-9, thus my moniker. They are now a multi...
