I agree with pretty much everything that has been said. I have a warm place in my heart for ALL of these tractors and I cut my teeth on the N Series. If you want a toy, buy whatever you can get the best deal on, and usually for a LITTLE bit more money, you can get a tractor in much better...

Re: My two latest attatchment buys. I used Tallman's AG paint, mixed it with hardener and rolled/brushed it on. Frankly, the results were pretty lousy, so I ended up spraying on a top coat to make the finish look acceptable. Despite assurances from Tallman's, it was VERY hard to apply by...

Re: My two latest attatchment buys. Well, I don't like to deny the origins of my implements, but I DO like them to match the tractor. I figure if Land Pride can sell implements in different colors to match the tractor, I can do it too. :)

Re: My two latest attatchment buys. Sorry I didn't get on this sooner. In this case, this tiller was made for a 400 Deere that used the mid PTO and then an auxiliary gear box on the back that made the PTO input speed to the tiller about 840 RPM instead of 540. I had to change one of the chain...

I'm curious why you had so much trouble with tandem axle brakes. With my single, it almost stops too good. Granted, a BX23 is a good bit heavier than my 2230, but not THAT much more. For what it's worth, I wouldn't try to haul a TLB on a single axle trailer either. That's a bridge too for in...

With a 3500LB GVW and 2000 LBS of tractor, how much margin do you want? All of that extra capacity is nice, but it comes at a price. The cost of the trailer, whether or not you have a vehicle that can pull it, and the fuel mileage penalty. Most of us cannot afford an 18' aluminum trailer. In...

Here are the tie down brackets I made. I used existing bolt holes in the frame and got longer bolts to maintain full thread engagement. These are the recessed rings I have in my trailer floor. On a steel floor, I weld them in and try to place them as close as possible to a crossmember. On a...

You'll get a LOT of naysayers here, but I haul my BX on a very similar trailer to yours all of the time. If you are going real long distances at interstate speeds on a regular basis, I would probably opt for a tandem too, but for semi occasional use, I wouldn't think twice about the single...

Sometimes the work just doesn't wait for better weather. I've had my tractor buried in the mud twice this spring already. The only way I got out was by using the loader to lever it out. Buried a utility trailer in the mud too. I've never used chains on a tractor that big, but I always found...

I know this has been discussed before, but I am looking for ideas for an exhaust pipe extension for my BX. I'm tired of the black soot all over my loader and my grille guard. Of course it has to be removable to get the engine side covers off, and I don't want anything that is too easy to snag...

Re: My two latest attatchment buys. IN October, I came across this Woods RD6000-2 60" finish mower on e-bay for $300.00. Once again, I took it apart, serviced and painted it and applied new decals. The only issue I had was that the lower three point mounts on the mower pivot up and down so...

Some of you may remember that late last summer, i bought a 4' John Deere reverse tine tiller made for a large JD garden tractor and modified it to work on my BX. Over the winter, I took it apart, made a couple more minor modifications and gave it a fresh coat of paint and new decals. Total cost...

I'm curious where you are getting your R404A. My current price for it is $7.10 per pound (weight), and I have no idea what that translates to in filling a tire, but seems expensive to me. I'm also not sure what unintended effects it might have (maybe none), but I would want to know. As for...

I tow my BX all the time with my 2WD V6 S10 on my single axle trailer with no issue. I WOULD recommend trailer brakes though.

As somebody who grew up running 8N Fords, separate wheel brakes are AWESOME, and I wish like hell the BX tractors had them.

I believe 840 RPM was the actual number after looking at some notes I made. Nonetheless, going from 10-30 tooth sprocket (.333) drive ratio to a 10-20 (.50) drive ratio put me right where I wanted to be. As to why the tiller right angle gearbox has .666 ratio, I guess we would have to ask the...

Sorry about that. You are correct, I left a step out. The gearbox that I didn't use brought the PTO input speed down to 800 RPM, so I only had to make up the difference between 800 and 540. If I can find the sheet I did all the math on, I will post the numbers. Bottom line is that with the...

Sorry about jerking with you guys, but I have grown so used to know it all jerks on the internet who swear certain things CANNOT be done, when many times there are solid practical solutions out there. I was just seeing if anyone would take the bait. Honestly, once I brought the thing home, I...

Ever since I got my BX, I have wanted a tiller, but the cost has been an impediment. Used four footers are EXTEMELY rare in my area, and even a new King Cutter is more than I wanted to invest, and what I REALLY wanted was a reverse tine unit, which meant springing for the $1800+ Land Pride...
