    I think I've made my retirement decision....

    Photo shoot anything lately? Random Photo Thread

    That's a SXR700. Wouldn't want a 200 HP machine, certainly can't use it on the trails I've rode in the North Woods. I had a 145 HP machine earlier last year. Had a 136 in track with 1 1/4 lugs. That thing was a handful. I'm 70 years old and had a terrible time controlling that big machine. My...

    Photo shoot anything lately? Random Photo Thread

    These new sleds just don't get me going. They are FAST though. I bought a 2004 Yamaha Warrior last Feb, rode it 2 days on a trip the North woods Wi. Sold it soon as I got home. Too much sled for an old man, I ended up buying a 2001 Yamaha SX700R, much more to my liking.

    OK smart guys

    A hitch for a B is a LOT bigger and heavier built than on for a BX. They also cost a LOT more money. My snow blower came off of a B model and I thought about cutting it down to use it on my BX, but I found a new/ used blade and it had the correct hitch for my tractor. I sold the B hitch on this...

    Beef vegetable soup

    I also make mine like the hamburger soup above. I also use some of the hamburger grease in mine, I don't drain it completely. I also use about 1/2 head of cabbage and a little more meat. I make a big batch then freeze about 2/3 of it or give some to my ex wife since I'm by myself now. My wife...

    Selling BX turfs but where and how much?

    I bought a set off of facebook market place, like new all 4 for $60.00 . By the time I called the guy and we met up for the exchange he said he had 5 or 6 more calls on them. I was lucky that day, they were only on there for 10 minutes. Don't if I'll ever use them but couldn't pass them up for...

    FEL not level with BX2380

    My home owners ONLY covers the tractor when ON my property. Does NOT cover anything if the tractor is NOT on the property, mowing the ditch no insurance. Taking to the dealer, no insurance. Have to buy a separate rider if I want it insured all the time.

    Hot rods, Rat Rods, Customs, Mud Runners, Etc.

    The TA only has around 60,000 miles, it had 59,300 when I gave it to my son last spring, but he tried to run the wheels off of it last summer. I yanked the original engine out of it around 52,000 and put in a warmed over Ram Air lll out of a 68 GTO. It's only running about 375 hp. Bought a 800...

    Thinking about selling my BX snowblower

    I got the paper work with my blower. The guy paid right at $5000.00. I have no Idea why he only wanted $600.00 for it, but I didn't care. He even loaded it on my trailer for me. Found it on Craigslist. I also found a used but not used front blade and hitch for $500.00. The blade and hitch didn't...

    BX2380 & tires

    I bought my tractor used, it has R4 tires on it. After reading a lot of comments on here I decided to get some turf tires. When I went to MY dealer, he said I'll sell um to ya but ya don't need um. Yea the R4s will tear up a yard if it's soft, but so will turfs. I've used my tractor all winter...

    Thinking about selling my BX snowblower

    If it's in excellent condition, meaning NO rust and NO damage, you may be lucky to get 50% of new, in season. Out of season, who knows. Last year I bought a complete 5450 with a power chute for $600.00. Mine was only used 1 year.

    A serious question

    Skeets, I lost my beautiful wife to cancer 1 1/2 years ago, and I did exactly what she wanted. Some of her siblings had a different outlook, but I told them this is what SHE wanted. She knew she was dieing , but could never make herself go to the funeral home to make arrangements. Do exactly...

    Another BB to make it work with a HF quick hitch post!

    Looks like you need to have some extensions welded to raise the mounting point. I did that to my blade. A lot of implements are not quick hitch compatible.

    Tractor Supply

    I just don't see how a homeowner can justify one of those things. Every time I'd go to use it, it'd be dead. I have enough problems with my battery drills. About 2 years is all I get out of my batteries on my drills, thought about selling them all but one. The Craftsman 19.2 drill works great...

    BX25 front snowblower

    Google is your friend. I looked at one I found one google, from what it looks like it will mount up with the correct hitch for your tractor. What all comes with it? It may be a little too big for a BX25 but the front mount looks like it will go right on. I believe they were really made for a B...

    (SOLD) mower deck for B2320, B2620, B2920

    Re: NEW mower deck for B2320, B2620, B2920 Have you checked your local Kubota dealer to see what they will give you for it? It just might surprise you what they'll give you for it. That has to be much less than cost of that deck.
