    RCW Tapping Maple Trees

    RCW I have 7 small maple trees I have been tapping and get enough syrup for our own use. It's forecast to be in the 50s for at least the next week and may even stay above freezing at night. It should be in the 20s this time of year and the 50s should arrive in April. My question is do I start...

    Carry All for Quick Hitch

    I have been looking for a Carry All to carry tools, ballast, and materials. I thought of building one to fit my Landpride QH05, but due to time constraints I decided to try the County Line at TSC. It would not fit the QH05 without modification. I had also looked at the King Kutter at Family...

    Hearing Protection

    Hearing aids are not protective devices and are not rated for hearing protection. Hearing aids are vented to allow for pressure changes and to allow sound into the ear that is still in your audible range. Unless you have un-vented hearing aids designed for hearing protection, you are not...

    BX 3 Point Float Control

    There have been several threads on the BX 3 point control. One of the problems is the BX does not provide a good method of floating a 3 point implement. Unlike the draft control on larger tractors where you can set the level at the lowest point and the implement will float, on a BX the...

    Snowblowing at Night

    I thought I ought to try blowing snow at night before I have to blow snow at night. So it was time to test the tractor and cab under some night time conditions. Let***8217;s see dark and snowy night, 10 F, 20 mph swirling wind and 4***8221; of fresh snow (12***8221; would be better). Get...

    Landscape Rake?

    I have a grading scraper for grading about two miles of sand, rock and dirt driveway and shared road. All of the driveway and roads are in the woods and a good deal of vegetation, leaves, pine needles, and twigs can collect on the road especially in the fall and spring. The vegetation, leaves...

    Shutdown of a BX Tractor

    I was looking at the fuel cutoff today so I would know how to stop the engine if the solenoid failed. That brought up a question. When you turn the key to off the electric fuel pump stops. Does the BX diesel require the electric fuel pump to continue running? Does the electric fuel pump just...

    Driveway Grading

    Last year was unusually wet and our driveway never dried out enough for the grading contractor to grade and fill. There were a couple of weeks it got dry enough and then it would rain before I could get the grader here. The driveway got more rutted and potholed all summer and there was standing...

    3 point adjustment

    I have been using my rear blade tilted to crown the driveway. When I adjusted the lifting rod to tilt the blade I went almost ½” beyond the groove on the bottom threaded rod and still did not see the groove on the top threaded rod. Since I had the blade on, I limited the tilt to the groove on...

    BX Fuel Filter Recommendation

    I have read several threads on the replacement of the fuel filter on BX tractors, and I am still undecided on the need for replacing my filter. I would like some input on my question: Will I have fuel problem that could be prevented with an upgraded fuel filter? I live in an unusually cold...

    BX 3 point operation and adjustment

    The BX operating manual does not give a good explanation of how the 3 point ¼ inch function works. To use the ¼ inch function you need to pull the three point lever towards the seat and then move it in the up or down direction and you will contact a stop at about ½ of the full lever travel...

    Help with pictures included in post

    When someone posts a large picture directly in the post it expands my window so I have to scroll up and down and back in forth to view the picture and back and forth to read the text. Is there a setting I need to change to keep the window to the width of the screen. Really large pictures are...

    Quick Hitch for BXs

    Today I bought a Land Pride Quick Hitch, QH05, designed for scuts (http://www.landpride.com/products/630/qh05-quick-hitches). I believe they just came out this year and I happened to stumble across a reference to them on Tuesday. I paid $188 for the QH05 and adapter bushings are not required...

    Woodworker BX2370 Cab

    When I bought my tractor in December a cab for snow blowing was in my plans. After this winter I’m not sure why I wanted a cab as we had more snow before I bought the tractor than after. Apparently buying a tractor and snow blower deflected all the snow to the south and east. The price of the...

    New used rear blade

    Bought a used LandPride RB1560 today to replace a lightweight used and abused generic rear blade. I bought the generic used blade with my new tractor in December and it served its purpose of moving snow, training the owner (me), and allowing time to determine what I need in a blade. When I...

    Hi I bought a BX2370 with FEL, snow blower BX5455, and used rear blade in early December. I started looking on the internet for information, ideas, and additional equipment, and quickly discovered most/maybe all the information and ideas I was looking for already existed in threads on tractor...
