    BX2680 losing all power and hydraulics.

    I have the same problem, let the tractor sit twenty minutes and it runs fine again. Fuel tank is full and I screen the fuel so I doubt if it's dirt or water. Machine is stored in a non heated garage. I'll let the fuel run down and drain the tank and have a look inside the tank with a camera but...

    BX2350: just installed a Kubota Engine Block heater; how long can I leave it on without burning the element?

    I wonder how many people are plugging in dead block heaters? Possibly the space containing the coolant around the element isn't large enough and the element over heats and goes open.

Also installed a an ammeter so I...

    Need advice from lumberjacks/lumberjills

    You'll want to look at the root flare to see if there are roots inline with the hinge, if there are , bore into the trunk well below the hinge to sever any root wood . What happens is the roots can hold the tree to the stump well into the ground with hardwood causing the tree to pull to one...

    Need advice from lumberjacks/lumberjills

    It should fall to the South as the majority of weight is on the South side. Could use a picture of the East and West side of the lower trunk where the roots flare. Back the felling cut up with wedges as you advance the back cut and keep the hinge the same thickness on both sides as the tree...

    BX25D block heater removal and replace

    I went through a couple of these heaters before adding a timer and now it seems to last. I remotely turn the heater on from inside the house, it's on for twenty minutes and off for five and so on. I think the space is so small around the heater they get hot and burn out when left on too long.

    BX25D block heater removal and replace

    This is the type of heater on my BX2370. To remove it I use a female coupling screwed to a threaded pipe from a pipe clamp, use a couple of round weights on the pipe with a coupling and washers to keep the weights on the bar. Thread the coupling attached to the bar onto the heater and use the...
