    Power Angle for snow plow???

    I have built one, However Not a professional fabricator... It has gone throught a couple of versions, here is the latest. There is deffinatly better rear blades to chose from than the one I have for such a project. This blade has the pins below the pivot assembly making it difficult to put...

    Drawbar Trailer Hitch

    It does work, not the greatest, but does have some advantages. I usesd it on 3 different trailers, all with very light tonge weights. The weight is the biggest concern, the next is speed. Pro - with the trailer 3-4 ft behind the tractor, it is easier to put the tong exactly where you want...

    Headlights on L series (new vs old)

    Thats great that you dont notice a difference. I would agree that an LED is a better light in *almost* every application. How you operate/store your equipment is probibly the key, as well as region. I think you have overcompensated for any obstructions due to weather with more lights than I...

    Headlights on L series (new vs old)

    Wildfire, Do you have any issues with the LED's frosting up, or getting blocked with snow? I would think with the tractor blowing/plowing the snow this is a significant issue. Here in MN the state decided it would be a great idea to put LED traffic lamps in - Only problem is that in the winter...

    Snow Removal

    Congrats to halftrack78 on the new machine! Eric - I would agree that traction needs to be improved on the BX. I personally have turfs, with liquid ballast in the tires. I dont use chains, and have no problems pushing snow with a 60" rear blade. Im sure chains will help, but it is...

    Rear blade

    Just try it. Only you can make the best setup for you. I personally have my rear blade installed backwards, as Vic reccomends. This is still very effective, and does not cut into my gravel driveway as much. I use the loader, but only when I have to stack very high, or lots of snow. I have...

    L1500

    Try a local starter/alternator shop. I had these guys save me $200 for a starter. Parts shop wanted $250, rebuilt locally for less than $50.

    BX1860 bad fuel sender problems.

    I am assuming the tank on the BX models are the same. I have a similar issue as you, but not nearly to that extreme. I wonder if this is a class problem....My BX2660 will read full for what seems like 1/2 the fuel, and then rapidly drops to empty. It will read full when there is about 2 gals...

    Kubota vs. Mahindra

    I think the best advice was said a few times already. Multiple people have said they know nothing about them. They dont know of any dealers in thier area. The lack of information, and support should be all the advaice you need. I also know nothing about them, dont know of any dealers in my...

    Aux. lighting

    True, either way a 40A Alternator, and battery system will sustain a 110watt load. However, There is a real concern with using the existing circuits. I would not use any factory ckt to power such a large load. A relay, with a dedicaed fuse is a wise choice. Using a factory ckt to control a...

    Aux. lighting

    skeets - The math is correct, but you add the lights in paralell for power. you would have a 110 watt demand no matter how you installed them. or 9.16Amps at 12V with both running. 4.58A for every light that is turned on.

    Any advice on a PTO Generator on a B7001

    http://www.utterpower.com/pmg.htm I have considered this for a while. I do have some experence in maintianing, and designing commercial generator systems, so I belive I am prepared for the technical issues, and risks. With that said, I would avoid all the "normal" generators that are...

    WTB Loader Arms for BX2660

    Looking for a set of loader arms compatable with a BX2660. I have the LA243 installed, but do not need an identical match. I belive the LA210 is compatable. I have been toying with modifying my loader arms for a plow of some sort, but do not wish to damage the ones that I own. It would be...
