Check the fuses under the hood. Near the firewall if I remember correctly. I had one blow shortly after I bought my B3200. A wire going to the switch under the seat was pinched and caused a short.

I believe they used to be called Northern Tool and Hydraulic. I got parts to build a log splitter from them years ago. Great to deal with back then.

2013 b3200

If you had to replace that many parts on a BX25D in 940 hrs, I must be a hell of a lot easier on my tractor. I have yet to replace a single part on my b3200. I have about 700 hrs on a 2013.

They must have changed something on the newer ones. I removed and cleaned the trans screen on my 2013 B3200 without removing the backhoe. It was tight but can be done. Have about 300 hrs on mine with zero problems. Great machine!

That's how mine is. Bought mine new in 2013.

The Cannonball riders will be at Triple S Harley in Morgantown WV. sun at 4:00 till 5:30

Set your brakes and curl your loader bucket so the cutting edge is biting in [as when dumping]. The stabilizers are not enough to hold tractor still when doing heavy work.

I had mine stuck so bad that I had to use a friends backhoe to dig it out. It threaded in beside a large tree root. I'm sure a large rock will cause the same problem. With any luck you can find a young person who needs some spending money to did it out.

I zip tied mine down. I stand from time to time to line up my bucket forks under a pallet. Kill switch made it a pain.

My dealer loaded the tires on my b3200 with a bh77 hoe before they delivered it new. They use windshield washer fluid. Does not freeze or cause rusting. Lots cheaper than antifreeze.

I would leave it as is unless it was way past due for the last oil change. You could change it a little sooner next time. No point wasting good oil.

My neighbor traded his John Deere on a Kubota after trying my b3200. His main reason was the 3 range hst. He said he was never happy with the Deere 2 speed. Always too fast or too slow. I use mid range about 90% of the time. As for the hst vs.gear. I've had both and prefer the hst. I have a...

If you have any doubt about your fuel quality or if it is going to be cold enough to gel, add a dose of fuel conditioner. It's not going to hurt a thing if you don't need it but it's a pain in the butt if you end up with gelled fuel. I use Howes year round.

Just don't make another rookie mistake and forget to wrap it with a rag first.
