I had the same problem that my ZD221 would not start. After test all safety switches found the Brake Switch bad. That bugger is extra hard to get to but go it replaced and all is good now. Being an Electrical and Mechanical engineer I had to open the switch up to see what was inside that...

Do you know what shim size they put in? I have the same issue. I usually just up the idle and then it lifts ok.

I have B7500 with almost 1000 hrs. Great tractor, starts up fast. I maintain 6 acres and have a King Kutter 4' tiller and does not have a problem handling the tiller. Have 4' brush hog and no problems there either.

You may need new wedges that hold the wheel mount to the axle. I replaced mine because they where badly worn out. 100% better and no clicking any more

I was looking at the exact same route but would have to plum the hydro lines and such. Went with the Huskee 22ton log splitter on sale at $999. If you are military you get a 10%. I picked mine up for $899. If you need you can tow the splitter somewhere else and not have to drag the tractor...

Yea we had the same problem here too with the rain we have had. Rare for us in August here in Ark. I have to just back fill with top soil and a lot of gravel and hope to pack it down enough to stay put for a while. Have been looking a Chip and Sealing the road. Have you thought about doing that?

I have a B7500 (which bigger then the BX)with FEL and when I have the bush hog attached then all fits nicely on my Texas Braggs 16' trailer. The trailer is equipped with trailer brakes.

I have a B7500 which is basically the same tractor. I have a 48" BH and that is really about all you really can best use. The general rule for implements is 5hp per foot in width.

I guess if you are mowing lots of very flat areas the rigid would be preferred, but on my none Kubota ZTR the front axle is a pivot for a smoother ride.

I have the older B7500 which there in only major difference but it a great little tractor. So far pretty reliable.

OK then I am finished with phase one. Like I mentioned the tenants are starting to move in.

As of yesterday I have finished building out my new 25x30 shop. Took a little longer than expected but all done. The new tenants have started to move in and really like their new home.

You need new blades. When I purchased my used tractor it came with a brush hog and it had vibration issues. I pulled off the old blades and compared to the new blade I bought and boy where they worn. After the new blades installed, bingo no more vibrations.

We can get here 100% gas with no ethanol so I guess I do not need their $$$$ fuel.

While you are pumping fuel can you see the fuel gauge on the dash? Turn the ignition on and while pumping watch the gauge.
