I live in Eastern Pennsylvania, whats the best engine oil weight? The book says 10W-30 or 15W-40. And I know I'm late for an oil change should have been done at 50 hours. I'm now at 100 hours and 2-1/2 years old. Is it really necessary to flush the cooling system? Joe

Okay, I'm sold. Thanks.

And the PTB is okay for a light tractor like a BX-1870?

Just got the FEL for my BX-1870 and I'm debating between the Ratchet Rake or Piranha bar. I need to do some clearing we have an acre and a half so its a good size residential property. Like the piranha idea to just leave it on and use the bucket. Any comments between the two would be appreciated.

deathtoblackberries that's a great idea! And what happened to you is exactly my fear. There is no flat land on this property. Land Pride QH10? May I ask what that set up cost?

I really wouldn't have any use for a box blade at my house. But thanks for the suggestions.

With my terrain I guess its no longer an option, and honestly I wasn't even thinking of the braking. Has anyone used the Titan box? Or should I stay with the Kabota box? Oh and Dirtydeed I was a Zephyr back in the day!

I am seriously thinking about putting a bucket on my BX1870. I already have the valve body since I have the plow. Is a ballast box really necessary? Our property is pretty hilly and I have rear wheel weights. I not planning on using the bucket for extreme work, mainly snow removal and mulch and...
